From first appearance it’s obvious that this pan is different than most others. The diamonds mixed in with the blue enamel is stunning. But even better is the way this performs. It’s consistent every time. It cooks evenly and truly is nonstick. One of my favorite aspects is that you can safely use metal utensils with this and it doesn’t damage or harm the coating. Clean up is a breeze. This is the one pan in my home that gets used multiple times a day.
