Material BaseAluminum

Blue Diamond's 8" ceramic nonstick fry pan delivers PFAS-free ceramic coating on a lightweight aluminum base, with a stay-cool handle and oven-safe design up to 350°F. The pan is dishwasher safe and metal-utensil safe—a rarity in the ceramic space—making it forgiving for everyday cooks. Diamond-infused ceramic offers solid nonstick performance and easy cleanup. Best suited for budget-conscious home cooks seeking affordable ceramic without the guilt of traditional PTFE, though ceramic coatings typically wear noticeably within 1–2 years of daily use. Induction-compatible. Good entry point to ceramic nonstick.
