Woll Diamond Lite Non-Stick Induction Ready Fry Pan, 8 Inch, Gray

I bought this for my induction range and it works great on an induction. Not only that but the quality of the non-stick feature is nothing short of amazing. I have had this pan (not purchased from Amazon) for about a month now and I use it daily. I have yet to use any oil or nonstick spray and the pan comes out so clean that you can (if you wanted to) clean it with a paper towel. I have even had sugar and BBQ sauce boiling in the pan and nothing stuck. The product says that you can use metal utensils and I have put that to the test with no failures or visual evidence that I used metal in this pan. The local kitchen store, where I purchased my pans, uses them for their cooking classes (with metal utensils) and their pans show no wear either.I love this pan so much that I bought two for Christmas gifts.

I couldn't wait to try the sautea pan once I received it. The first impression is this pan is better than all the TEFAL pans and Scanpans I owned before. After cleaned the pan with mild detergent, applied a bit sunflower oil then flushed it with hot water, I did a few stir fry and browning and it did not stick. It's also very easy to clean. I suppose all non stick pans are non stick when new so it's not a big deal. But I also noticed the heat spreads very quick and retained. For example, when you stir fry vegetable with this WOLL Diamond Plus Induction, you can see the vegetable changing colour (cooked) within a minute or two without even covering up pan with the lid. I have never seen this with other pans. I will wait and see the endurance of this cooking with ease...Looking at the Diamond Plus Induction range, I feel this is the most suitable range for family usage. As the pans are slightly thiner than the Diamond Best range, the non stick coating is also 20% thinner (80 um vs 100um). But this makes the pans be generally lighter although may not be as hard wearing. The Diamond Best may be best reserved for the professionals. After all, if you are after the Diamond Best, I don't see any induction models available yet.I am also pleased with supplier Wayfair's transaction, it's quick it's well packed, completed with no fuss.

I bought this pan a little over one year ago. If I had written this review immediately after I bought it, it would have been positive. However, about 6 months following my purchase, this pan started to lose it's non stick coating. It became more and more difficult to use and cook with it properly as food would stick to it and become difficult to maneuver in the pan. I had thought if I spent a little money on a good frying pan, that I would get some years out of it. I contacted Woll's who requested photos. I sent them in and they stated I had used the pan improperly! In other words the heat was too high. So if you like to do some stir frying or sear your meat in a pan THIS IS NOT the pan for you. I am back to using my old pans which were less expensive and have lasted for many years. If you want a pan that lasts try a cast iron skillet - they are durable, less expensive and can "take the heat"!

Update: originally this was a 4 star because the below review. But, after a search of the internet of where I go to fix this problem, I learned that you do not go to the Woll website because it’s all in German and based in Germany so you will never get a response. You go to Freiling US, the distributor of Woll products in the US. Once you reach their sales team, you send them photos of the issue, and they send a whole new pan to you! It was quick, easy, and painless! New pan handle does not wobble at all! 5 stars!————————Love this pan. Love the high edges because it helps prevent spillage, love the non-stick surface, and love the even cook. My ONE issue is the handle. No matter what I do, no matter how many times I tighten it, it still is loose and wiggles from side to side. It still works fine, but it is annoying. And for the price you pay for this, it should be as close to perfect as possible, but it isn't.

I love my Woll cookware, but this pan was defective: it had a loose screw when I received it. I contacted Woll and they suggested that I tighten the screw myself. That worked temporarily, but it kept loosening, and after a year the pan completely fell apart. For cookware of this quality, it shouldn't break after a year. I tried to get in touch with Woll, but the website is in German and seems only to offer assistance to customers in Germany and Austria.

We have a family of four and I use it for mostly everything I cook for big or small meals. It is definitely a quality pan and food does not stick with little to none oil or butter. It does take a moment to heat but that is expected since it is heavy, big, and distributes the heat evenly. It is super easy to clean. My husband says the nonstick won’t last but I am excited to see how long it does.
