This is the best pair of frying pans ever.. i have never owned a nonstick pan before, never believe they work, and I have been reading many review and I was honestly leaning on buying the Gotham frying pan (1) because they have cover and (2) because many people were saying so many things. But thanksgiving was fast approaching and God would have it that I went by a friend and she has both pans and she said she caught the bug of buying the Gotham which worked great in the beginning but after started sticking then she got the blue diamond and never looked back. As a Caterer I cooked in them both at her house over two days. And let me tell you this Blue Diamond pan .. absolutely nothing sticks to it... nothing. She never lied. I ordered the next day. Only thing is that I ordered for thanksgiving and came the following week. However, great pan you will have forever and the fact of two great. I use small one for my baby’s food and the bigger for family. All the best and enjoy cooking.
