The Blue Diamond 12” Frypan is sturdy, with a warp-resistant forged base.  It has a durable, nonstick ceramic coating that is diamond-infused, which makes the surface harder, and more difficult to scratch.  While cooking, the aluminum frying pan heated up, very quickly, and distributed the heat evenly.  It was a cinch to hand-wash, but is also dishwasher-safe.  I’d recommend this product to others.
