Swiss Diamond Nonstick Wok with Lid - 11"
Best Product From Swiss Diamond
It's been excellent for many years
I've had this wok for many years and it's as excellent now as it was when I got it. Like any pan with thick walls, it takes longer to heat up but maintains a constant heat better. My experience with this led me to purchase two Swiss Diamond saute pans, which are also excellent.
The Swiss Diamond 28 cm (1”) wok combines the easy clean-up and healthy cooking ability of nonstick with the traditional benefits of woks, such as sloped sides for easy tossing.

Here's something to think about !!!!
I wrote the Swiss Diamond company and asked for an explanation of what the nano-composite material was made of.
After a week or so, I received a polite reply from Allan Wolk, an employee in the U.S. His email informed me that, "Our patented nonstick surface uses a nano-composite of real diamond crystals and PTFE; it is applied using a computer controlled plasma gun at very high temperatures."
Naturally, my attention was immediately drawn to the PTFE. The acronym sounded familiar. What was PTFE?
A quick search of Wikipedia provided the answer: (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PTFE)
As Wikipedia explains:
Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is a fluoropolymer discovered by Roy J. Plunkett (1910-1994) of DuPont in 1938. It was introduced as a commercial product in 1946 and is generally known to the public by DuPont's brand name Teflon
