We live on a boat and we often use a pan of this size with a lid for 80% of our cooking needs. We like the non-stick qualities of a pan and have owned a half dozen brands. None of the brands were durable. Typically a scratch would develop even with coated utensils. Once a scratch is there, it is no longer non-stick in that area and cleaning now becomes difficult. We've been through several pans to date, even an expensive one from France. We've wound up throwing them all away and considered going back to plain stainless steel which could always be cleaned, although with lots of elbow grease at times and pains with sticking.
With that lead-in, I saw the Swiss Diamond pan advertised and was intrigued with the claimed durability of a diamond infused coating so I bought one from Amazon last summer. We have used it everyday, usually twice a day (breakfast and evening meal), and the coating is pristine. It really is durable, a great step up from our experiences with previous pans. The glass cover makes the pan useful for the main course at dinner, like a mini-oven as well as a fry pan. The top handle can be closed or open to keep the inside moist or not. We've had no problem picking up the lid by the knob even after extended cooking, the knob remained cool and with the knob rotated to off, no steam was coming out.
However, there are some things to watch out for. As per our past experiences with coated pans, the two great enemies of long life are scratches and carbonization. The diamond infused coated has addressed scratches issue successfully compared to our previous pans - as mentioned before, the surface is still pristine. To prevent carbonization, just wipe the pan with a paper towel to remove all residue. Since the pan is non-stick, this takes about 10 seconds at most. Even residue that resulted from frying pork chops (for example) with very little oil leaving a heavy, black residue comes right off with a paper towel. If the residue is not removed and the pan is used again, the residue can become carbonized and will affect the non-stick qualities of the surface (our past experiences with other pans). In other words, the pan becomes scrap metal if you let that happen.
So, spend 10 seconds, wipe the pan with a paper towel and it's ready for reuse. We are very happy with the product and will report back here after a year of use - but it still looks like new now even with twice a day use after 6 months.
