I've owned my Blue Diamond 12" fry pan for about 2 weeks. It's everything the advertising says it is. You will need a small amount of oil to "fry" eggs.

Before I bought it, I looked at reviews, including one conducted by a man beating one pan, and babying the other one. Both Blue Diamond.

I followed his advice as well as that from the manufacturer. Don't use cooking spray or olive oils, as those have different heat requirements and can burn.

I used Canola oil. And really, you need very little. I cook for self and one other adult. Omelet, veggie/rice/chicken stove top casserole type meals. Leftovers. Simmered hot dogs.

I use only plastic utensils.

One drawback, the handle gets hot. Knowing that in advance, I have hot pads ready.

Based on more than 50 years of experience cooking family meals, using all types of pans, I recommend the following:

1. Don't use meat with bones in it, bones are sharp and have scratched other types of non-stick.

2. Give this pan its own shelf, with nothing stored inside it.

3. Cook on a lower temperature than you might use with aluminum or stainless steel pans, worth the extra time it takes.

4. Let it cool before washing and rinsing.

Enjoy it.
