Blue Diamond 11″ Grill Genie Pan, Diamond In

Caution!
Caution…this is a wonderful pan. Just don’t leave it at high heat and it’ll do fine. Much easier to use and maintain than a cast iron pan. You can turn the heat up high to get a steak started for searing, but just turn the heat down to medium right away to cook.

Really works well
I have been using Red Copper pots & pans for a couple years, really love them but over time if you use high heat, the bottoms will warp. This may not be a big issue for those with a gas stove, however I use a glass cooktop so I need them to be completely flat. I decided to replace some of my older skillets, and after A LOT of research it came down to the Green Pan SearSmart or the Blue Diamond. I elected to go with Blue Diamond because the price is much, much better.Let’s face it, if you spend $80 on a pan vs $30, which one are you going to be more upset about when it gets a minor nick, or the coating stops working, or it warps? Fact of the matter is, NO non-stick pan is going to last forever. They will eventually “go bad”. So why invest $300+ in a set, when you can “buy what you need, when you need it” for a fraction of the cost.So far I’ve made a few steaks and burgers on this grill genie, and it’s completely as advertised. It doesn’t stick, they slide around and are super easy to flip. Cleanup is also a breeze. I’m hand washing them instead of throwing them in the dishwasher, because I do want to try and make these last longer if possible.Ultimately if you’ve been using Red Copper pans, these are very similar in weight, non-stick properties, and overall quality. I’d definitely buy these again.

Perfect grill marks and easy clean up
This pan was recommended to me by a friend who is in culinary school and is doing dinner party catering on the side. I was not disappointed by her recommendation.Pros:- Even heat distribution when cooking – there is no hot spot in this pan where everything cooks faster than the rest.- Large domed lid helps with cooking. It’s makes it faster and helps keep moisture in, so when I cook meat it turns out more tender and juicy.- Perfect grill marks – this was my biggest need in a pan. I wanted those beautiful brown grill lines in my food.- EASY clean up. This pan is non-stick and that label is accurate. But beyond that, the grill lines are so easy to clean. They are more rolling than spiked like in my cast iron grill pan, so clean up is almost as easy as a flat surface pan.Cons:- it’s on the smaller side. While this was not a con for me, as there are 2 people in my household and this is perfect for cooking for 2, I recognize that this will be a con for others.This is my go to pan for cooking meat or grilling veggies on the stovetop. It is great for the times when I can’t use my outdoor grill (like in the frigid temps or when it’s raining, since my outdoor grill isn’t under a roof) or when I just don’t feel like firing it up. I used this pan all winter, on average 2 to 4 times a week, and now that it’s summer I still use it about once a week.

Cheaper than charcoal
This works great to deliver a grilled flavor when you don’t want to fire up the an entire charcoal grill for a small meal. It also does a great job with veggies, though I find it helps to parboil or stem them first and then let them cool. I used to keep a small Habachi for a single steak or something, but no more. This is easier and faster than waiting for the coals to reach the right temperature. This also is perfect in the winter when you can’t really get to the BBQ. The lid helps trap the flavor and the high ridges give it both the flavor and look of outdoor BBQ. If you want you can try brushing a small amount of liquid diluted with water. The handles will get hot so common sense – use a potholder to move the pan. Cleanup is really fast and easy! I’ll add this to my Christmas gift list for family.

lo he usado un par de veces, por ahora se siente bastante resistente y lo mas importante es que no se le queda pegada la carne

Tut genau was es verspricht. Ist auch robuster als andere “non stick” Pfannen. Der Deckel ist auch sehr praktisch. Gutes Preis Leistungsverhältnis.

Grill pas compatible induction. Le fond n’est pas plat !
