Blue Diamond Ceramic Nonstick Cookware Set Sale

I was introduced to the concept of ceramic cookware a few years ago when my aimless Instagram scrolling was met with advertisements from brands like Our Place and Caraway. In this pre-COVID-19 world, I had yet to hear the phrase “social distancing,” a stranger coughing within 5 feet of my person didn’t fill me with adrenaline, and going to the grocery store was a mundane errand, not a life-threatening mission. Not to mention, I was still using plastic cutting boards and scratched nonstick cookware in my kitchen.

Just a few months later, staying healthy would become my top priority. Sure, this extended to who I would see and where I would go, but it also impacted what I brought into my house. Remembering Caraway’s promise of clean, toxin-free cookware from the ads, I acquired a set for myself. But Caraway is just one of many companies harnessing the power of a ceramic coating. While I was swayed by its pretty colors, cute design, and Food & Wine’s stamp of approval, over 3,000 Amazon shoppers took a more cost-effective path via Blue Diamond’s ceramic-coated frying pan set. With a limited-time sale on the duo, I maybe should have been one of them.

Blue Diamond Nonstick Ceramic Frying Pans, Set of 2

The brand’s frying pans are free of PFAS, PFOA, lead, and cadmium, and they’re nonstick to boot. But a nonstick coating comes with a cost. While Blue Diamond claims to extend the life of its skillets “up to 10 times” by infusing its ceramic layer with diamonds, all nonstick pans will ultimately need to be replaced, no matter how much or how little they cost. Unlike cast iron or stainless steel, nonstick coatings eventually scratch and flake.

Despite this, thousands of Amazon shoppers were impressed by the durability and functionality of Blue Diamond’s set. With one 11-inch and one 9-inch frying pan, the bundle allows shoppers to scramble eggs and flip pancakes with ease. One reviewer wisely commented that “no cookware is perfect, but these come close.” Not only did they appreciate its value for the price, but they also said the set has outperformed brands that cost “five times as much.” A second shopper called them “almost too slippery,” saying that “nothing” sticks to them and they “could not be happier with this purchase.” And a third reviewer commented that “eggs slide right off” of these impressively nonstick pans.

If you buy this Blue Diamond ceramic nonstick cookware set with the assumption that it will last forever, you’re setting yourself up for heartbreak. But if you buy the set knowing that, like all nonstick cookware, it will eventually need replacing, your expectations will be “totally exceeded.” It’s extremely nonstick, impressively long-lasting, and unbelievably affordable now that the skillets are on sale for just $20 at Amazon.
