Why are Swiss Diamond pans so difficult to get hold of at the moment?

You are right, Swiss Diamond pans ARE hard to find at the moment. The UK importer has stopped bringing in the pans. I believe that this is because the cost price has gone up so much, with all this implies for likely sales.
However, I understand that either Swiss Diamond will supply me direct or a new importer will be set up. I have yet to hear conclusively. Personally, I am a great believer in the Swiss Diamond cookware. I use a Swiss Diamond Frying pan as my kitchen workhorse. I need a hardy pan that can withstand metal utensils as I cook in a rush when I come in from work. I haven't used a better one than my current Swiss Diamond. I don't think the surface is as non stick as the manufacturer suggests: it does cook better with some oil. For scrambled egg etc, therefore, I use a Gastrolux saucepan without any fat. But for sheer hardiness of the non stick surface, Swiss Diamond cookware is outstanding.
So in conclusion, I am doing my best to get more Swiss Diamond pans imported into the UK and will keep you posted. In the meantime, we are down to a few last pieces, unfortunately.
