Blue Diamond 10" Ceramic Nonstick Frypan vs Tramontina Professional 26cm Fry Pan

Buy the Blue Diamond if you want a lighter, ceramic-coated 10-inch pan that is metal-utensil safe and easy to handle for everyday eggs, pancakes and sauteing. Buy the Tramontina Professional if you want a larger 12-inch pan built for high heat, induction and heavy restaurant-style searing. The Blue Diamond wins on weight and coating hardness claims, while the Tramontina wins on size, heat tolerance and induction support. Owners of both rate them well; the Blue Diamond's ceramic coating is the one to watch over years of use.

• Choose the Blue Diamond if you cook on electric smooth-top or gas, want a light 10-inch pan you can toss and wash by hand or in the dishwasher, and prefer a PTFE-free ceramic surface.
• Choose the Tramontina Professional if you need a 12-inch pan for induction, oven use up to 260°C, and heavy searing with a riveted stainless handle.
