I am so pleased with my new Blue Diamond 12" FryPan. It's beautiful and has a metallic blue ceramic coating. My test with pans is how well they do at high temps when searing steak. This pan did a great job searing and created a nice crunch. I was able to finish it off in the oven and makes the clean up easier since I don't have to use 2 different pans. There was no scratching when I used a metal spatula and It fit easily in my dishwasher and came out clean and beautiful.
