As long as you don’t use it on a gas stove, you should be fine.
- kees99 1y agoWhy? Diamond has very low thermal expansion, so no risk of stress/embrittlement/cracks from uneven heating. Or you mean it'll catch fire? Also not a concern. That is supposed to happen at a temperature well above anything useful for cooking.
- LtdJorge 1y agoI think because it will burn your hand?
- rbanffy 1y agoThe temperature of the blue flame on a stove should be above 1000 Celsius, well above what’s required to oxidise diamonds. They won’t catch fire, but your diamond pan will erode. Once you remove it from the flame, it won’t continue “burning”. Should be safe on electrical stoves though.
- kees99 1y agoWould that >1000°C reach the surface though? There are some heady boundary-layer effects and temperature/temp-conductivity gradient physics involved here. For simplicity sake, consider a plastic [1] bag full to the brim with water, held over open flame. Will bag melt (oxidize, erode)? [1] polyethylene melts around 120-ish °C and ignites around 220-350 °C (sources vary)

- mjevans 1y agoIt's probably fine on the inside?
- IAmBroom 1y agoWhy are you using a question mark.
- mjevans 1y agoThe material would be 'fine', but I'm not sure how safe or effective it would be as I'm not a materials expert. Just considering the risk of the material. (Yeah, the material would be fine, is it safe and beneficial? That part of 'fine' I can't define.)
- rbanffy 1y agoThat's a good point. Have you done the experiment?
