Swiss Diamond 6-Piece Cast-Aluminum Cookware Set

Swiss Diamond 6-Piece Cast-Aluminum Cookware Set
I bought this set 3 years ago and this is the best cookware I have by far. The other non-stick cookware I have are Calphalon, Berndes and T-Fal, but none can compare. The slightly rugged surface must be the secret of that purfect crust my omlettes have when I use SD pans. And cleaning them is a breeze. I did not come to testing the manufacturer's claims about using metal utensils with SD wares ***. I have been using non-stick wares for ages I have a variety of plastic and wooden utensils, as well as habit of using them. So I continue using them with SD as well. Also, I still have other non-stick cookware and it would be highly inefficient to change my cooking habits only because I can gently use metal on SD. In any case, in my use the non-stick items expire not because of the wrong utensils, but because non-stick coating 'burns off', which it does pretty frequently in my kitchen because I cook a lot for my family, as well as for entertaining friends. 

My older son is looking to buy his own appartment and I consider buying him SD cookware as part of the house warming gift, unless he asks for something specific. 

*** If you are looking for the cookware that lasts forever, buy plain cast iron, or iron frying pans, cast iron or aluminum dutch ovens and stainless steel pots. However, be prepared to invest in cleaning and/or reseasoning them.
