Blue Diamond 11" Diamond Infused Ceramic Nonstick Square Griddle Pan, Blue

I have the entire set of blue diamond pans they are what I use in my kitchen for cook. I absolutely love them all. These pans clean easy, things don't stick to them, I don't use anything metal in my pans but I have had no issues with scratching if they rub up against one another in the cabinet. In my kitchen I find they are worth spending the money on for a good pan that is non stick. These are my preferred pans to use over any brand for nonstick. The only other thing I would buy over this is full stainless steel or cast iron which both can be very expensive for a good set. For this pan we like to use it for different things. It is big enough to cook a couple burgers on in the house, omelets, and even a couple small pancakes. Everything is always cooked evenly on the pan even with a gas stove. Great pan if you need a flat surface but don't want to pull on a larger griddle when you're only cooking for a few people in the evening. This pan and the entire line up heat quickly on the stove, but wear if you are using the entire set with the lids they are get hot same with some of the handles on. I use pot holders or silicone grips when cooking to avoid burning myself even more so with teaching my teen how to cook and him helping me in the kitchen. They also are a non stick pan so makes for easy clean up at the end of the night. You can throw them in the dishwasher if you want. I normally don't will just hand wash them doesn't take along and I haven't had any issues with even the stickiest of things holding tight to the sides of the pans. Just a little soap and a scrub mommy they come clean right away. The color is true to the picture and even to the box if you buy them in store for the set. The blue also doesn't seem to fade over time. Just over all a good griddle for little jobs.

I recently broke both of my wrist and have difficulty holding carrying and picking up things that are weighty I remember my mom having a cast-iron frying pan. She used it almost daily. I remember all the good meals that came from that one pan I just had to have one for myself in my home Amazon recently had a cast-iron frying pan on sale and I jumped on it. The price was only $14.99. I jumped on it and purchased it upon receiving that pan. It was absolutely beautiful however it was too heavy for my wrist so I returned it. Upon returning it the employee behind the returns that said this is a good plan and I totally agree. It was a five star pan. However it was too heavy for me I still need it and wanted a cast-iron frying pan Upon searching the Amazon website, I came to this blue cast-iron frying pan and I thought to myself this would be perfect if it’s not too heavy .(I have recently just purchased new pots and pans in blue and I’m currently redoing my color scheme in my home… This pan would fit in perfectly) So I ordered it and it came quickly Upon receiving and opening it, I thought it was absolutely beautiful. The blue exterior enamel is the exact blue I was looking for. It was a perfect match to my newly purchased pots and pans set. Upon lifting the skillet, I realized that I had no problem holding it. The weight was perfect as was the size… It was neither too big nor too heavy for me I would definitely recommend purchasing this pan if you have weak wrists like myself, but still want a heavy duty cast-iron skillet In regards to the handle getting hot… It is iron and iron does hold heat, but the heat on the handle was not hot enough to be a concern It also came with a padded handle cover to use when grabbing the pan by the handle while it is hot Five stars

My Mom passed away suddenly in Jan '22. She left behind pots and pans in the kitchen. Some of which are older than I am. However, she also left behind a few cheap pans she got a Walmart. She didn't use those pans all that often, so when I got them, I started using them. Especially her square griddle pan. I LOVE cooking on a hot griddle and for something simple like a burger or a chicken breast, it is easier to just cook it on the stove using a griddle pan. Well, the red one began to warp and bow up in the center. It wasn't very noticeable at first, then the center began to rise far enough that any butter or oil I was cooking with settled around the outer perimeter of the edges. I didn't want to buy a cheap piece of cooking equipment again that would just get thrown away in time as well. Then I stumbled across Blue Diamond Pans. After reading about the surface of the pans being safe for steel cooking tools, and not having a non-stick coating that would wear off in time, I ordered the square 11" griddle pan and a smaller 8" skillet for making eggs. I was able to throw away 3 pans and replace them with these two Blue Diamonds. So far, so good. I use both of these pans daily. The small round skillet is solely used for making eggs in and nothing else. The square griddle pan makes the vast majority of my meals now. I love the flat cooking surface and the best part of all, is that, because nothing sticks to these pans, cleaning them is a breeze. Simply remove the food, and grab a couple of paper towels if there is oil or grease to be soaked up. Otherwise, like the dedicated egg skillet, I wipe it out with a hand towel while the pan is still hot. Then, run it under a bit of warm water and gently rub it down with a bit of dish soap on a rag or a scrubber pad. My pans are clean and back hanging on their hooks before I eat. They are just simply that good at cooking food that doesn't stick to them.

Great griddle! Cooks evenly and quick and easy cleanup! What more could you ask for?

The nonstick works excellent as long as you don’t use metal utensils or burn anything . The pan itself does warp and forms a little rise in the middle and make the pan uneven when used on a flat surface stove.

I guess the video says it all. I cooked on this overpriced junker three times. First time was a hamburger patty with some chopped onions on the side. The hamburger cooked normally on medium heat but the onions over in the corner burned. I ran the griddle through the dishwasher. The corner where the onions charred, had a hard crust that didn’t come off in the dishwasher. In fact, it wouldn’t even budge with any amount of scrubbing with the nylon bristle brush....OR my thumbnail. I finally removed it by soaking the black crust with straight Dawn for two days. Even after that it took a lot of hard scraping with the plastic scraper end of the dish brush to get the griddle clean. A grilled cheese sandwich was uneventful. We used it again for pancakes and no matter how carefully we tried, and much we adjusted the cooking temperature down, the pancakes were too brown. I’ve been around long enough to know that is a sign of a cheap thin metal cooking utensil. The best part of the story came a week or so later when I pulled it out and discovered that it is so warped that it won’t even sit flat. I’ve had many of this type of griddle over the years and when they warp it’s always with a slight bulge in the middle not a corner curling up about ½ inch. This griddle was never used on high heat or washed while still hot...I know better. I have formed the opinion that all of the little aluminum griddles are junk and the cheapest one that will work for a year or so and then toss it is the smartest. I paid $40 for this thing and will surely be seeking a refund.

So far so good. Excellent non-stick. No warping when hot, which I read from other reviews. Not sure about longevity because it's only been a month, but I would recommend it at this point. And if the nonstick doesn't last forever, the price point is still low enough to rebuy.

Perfect for pancakes. the size is great I can make 4 large pancakes at once. It is flat and nonstick as long as you don't use nonstick cooking spray. I use a little bit of coconut oil and no sticking. The blue color is very pretty too.

This pan cooks evenly and is a snap to clean!

Great product. Quick shipping!!

Slippery big surface, it’s a dream to clean and of course easy to get the spatula under what you’re cooking. Only negative I see is the rating for high temp, but the instructions always say use low to medium heat. Not always possible when searing stuff!

Love Blue Diamond cookware.

Wobbled from the middle after 4th use. Now all the liwuid stuff gathers on the sides
