Swiss Diamond’s new diamond-reinforced coating features an extra-thick, cast aluminum body that will withstand the test of time. Providing trouble-free cooking and easy cleanup, the Swiss Diamond 8” Fry Pan is small enough for an apartment or dorm room yet provides a little more room for cooking than our 7" pan. If you’re looking to prepare healthier dishes, this pan is your new right hand. With a significantly tougher cooking surface and superior food-release properties, Swiss Diamond is designed to be used with little to no cooking oils or butter. With an effortless clean, this pan will soon become the most used pan in your kitchen. The new XD coating provides years of quality, trouble-free cooking. Not only are there 20% more diamonds than before, but the seal between the cooking surface and the aluminum base is also improved, creating a more corrosive-resistant layer. This not only improves the durability of your Swiss Diamond cookware but provides a 40% increase in food release than our previous HD coating. And just when you thought Swiss Diamond couldn’t be better, this XD coating transfers heat so efficiently that you'll never need to use more than low-medium heat. Whether you’re whipping up your go-to Southwestern omelet for breakfast or baking a mouthwatering skillet brownie in the oven, this 8" fry pan is sure to meet all of your needs.
