Scanpan HaptIQ 8" vs Swiss Diamond Nonstick #6424

Although this Fry Pan is very expensive it looks great and works great. Truly non-stick. I use it primarily for eggs and omelets. Not sure whether or not it's my imagination but my eggs actually taste better with this compared to my old cheap fry pan

It never warps, and so you get excellent heat conduction, because it's just sitting right. On the surface of the burner there once they've completed t...

If you're willing to pay for premium craftsmanship and durability, there is no better choice than the Scanpan HaptIQ 8" frying pan. Scanpan takes design and construction seriously. This pan is built to stand up to heavy use and metal utensils from the 5-layer recycled aluminum and stainless steel body to the professional-grade Stratanium+ nonadhesive coating to the mirror polish exterior. The pan is also oven-safe up to 500º F while offering superior heat distribution when on the range

Oh and sometimes people feel the need to try and use metal on it. DONT you will scratch it.

I have put this pan through rigors I have never tried on previous pans - straight to dishwasher, used with metal utensils, deep fried battered cutlets. It has excelled every time and my recipes come out perfectly. Even basic routine cooking - breakfast scrambled eggs - are a pleasure. I’m always amazed at how little butter I need to use

With such a heavy pan, you will inevitably have to grip it from both sides when emptying the food from the pan by tilting it. This will mean holding the pan with both hands and the grip designed to do just that will be as hot as the rest of the pan, so you will need oven gloves. You might even forget that the pan is hot, grip it to pour, and burn yourself (my wife has already done this).

We elected the outside high gloss, which makes cleaning much easier. It is a little heavier than our old one , which is nice because it spreads the heat more uniformly (we have propane gas burners). The handle has a bit more curvature than our old one which makes it easier to handle. Clean up is super easy; I think it could be just rinsed and be clean, but I go over it with a sponge

After 1 year and 2 months of just about everyday use, It is time to look for another pan. I had no disillusion that this pan would last forever, but I has hoping for a least a 5 year run. I expected this, because of the price I paid. It is still useful, but it requires some cooking spray to allow things not to stick fully

Near zero friction. Well worth the cost. Hopefully it will hold up to regular use, but I suspect it will.

We have had this pan only for a few weeks and am very satisfied with the way it works. Non-stick works fine and it seems indeed very robust. Only four stars because: - who knows if it is of importance or not, but like all other non-stick cookware (including Scanpan) it is made with PTFE (the quality is excellent and I do not expect it to flake. There might really not be any dangers to it

A perfect non-stick pan, as long as you know to NEVER USE a non-stick spray on it! Non-stick sprays will eat off the coating of almost all non-stick pans. You CAN use real oils! I just put water in after cooking, and wipe it out to help season the pan, just like cast iron pans. I bought two sizes after getting the first one!

- The non-stick surface works very well, omellettes are a breeze with this - The "diamond" marketing campaign appears to have been very effective, when it reality the non-stick surface is no different from Teflon, which is just a Dupont registered brand name for PTFE's. PTFE/Teflon is not a cause for concern up to 400F (some say up to 480F). I also have no reason to believe the surface is any more resilient to scratches, and if this gets scratched, be prepared to toss it out

I love this thing so much. I use it every day. Literally - every day. So easy to use and clean

This skillet has excellent heat distribution and thickness. My experience regarding ease of cleaning is that it is better to use on an electric stove rather than a gas stove.

My other scan pans do. Would love it in a slightly bigger size when making eggs for 3-4 people.

Ask me in a year. I would not recommend this as your first purchase in the Swiss Diamond line. Better to get a smaller frying pan first.
