Do not purchase
I purchased the Stack Master set. The pans are great, however, the lids get so hot that they will burn you. I called the company and they verified that this is an issue and that they are currently working on new lids. However, they would not send me new lids and would not pay for shipping so I could return the product. The customer service is less than helpful and they had zero solution.
Length of Use: Less than 3 months
Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Worst pans I have ever owned
I was dumb enough to buy 4 frying pans. Everything sticks to them. I haven't tried it but I bet even water will stick.
Got me once, never again.
Length of Use: 6–12 months

Scratch prone
These pans scratch so easily and look bad after just a few uses. I see now they only have a 90-day money-back guarantee and I can see why. When inquiring about getting them replaced due to the extensive scratches I found that the return shipping was almost as much as buying a new set, which I would never consider at this point. When it looks too good to be true it most likely is false claims. That is what I have found out about Gotham Steel Pans.
Length of Use: 1–2 years
Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Pros and Cons
Lightweight
Handles don't seem to get hot
Scratches easy
Looks bad and doesn't look clean after washing with all the scratches in them
Terrible warranty

Returning it to Costco
The frying pan has a raised center and is one of the worst non-stick pans we have had. It requires considerable scrubbing. Only used a sponge scrubber side.
Length of Use: Less than 3 months
Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Pros and Cons
Looks good
It has a raised center so liquids go to the edge.
Foods easily stick to it

Worst non-stick pan ever
It’s so bad you can’t even call it non-stick. It’s the first extra-sticky pan even made! When you buy a non-stick, you’re likely looking to avoid oil and butter. This pan is labeled only for use WITH oil and butter. No cooking spray! I’ve never used cooking spray and it’s always been a horrible pan - food sticks and clean up is a pain. Do not buy!
Length of Use: 3–6 months
Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Pros and Cons
It’s awful
Sticks with butter
Sticks with oil
Sticks with both butter and oil

Piece of junk
Used the pan about 4 times, even purchased a plastic spatula, and all food sticks to it. It is the biggest piece of junk I have had in a long time. Do not buy this product.
Length of Use: Less than 3 months

Product warranty is a joke
They advertise lifetime warranty. Here is the catch - first they want to charge you $9.95 for a processing fee and then you have to pay to ship the defective product back to them. This would equal or exceed the price of the original purchase. Will never purchase anything from Gotham Steel again.
Length of Use: 1–2 years
Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Pros and Cons
Was non-stick for a while
After just over a year of use, food started sticking to pans
Coating scratched off in some pans

Not as advertised
I’ve had my pan for a while now and at first, it was great. Nothing stuck to it. I just made eggs in it and they completely stuck and were so hard to clean off. Don’t say non-stick if it isn’t!
Length of Use: 3–6 months
Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Pros and Cons
Fine for the first few times
Sticks
Hard to clean off

Garbage
Bought these pans and within 2 weeks they were scratched and everything sticks. Do not buy this! Also contains Teflon, which hopefully does not contain PFOA, which causes cancer. Worried.
Length of Use: 6–12 months

Everything stuck to the bottom after about a month of use. Tried using a cooking spray but did not help. Was in the garbage after about 2 months. Would NOT recommend.

Tired of the warp
Decided to stop wasting money on Calphalon since they warp in the oven at 400°, let alone 500°.
Used the 5-quart pan for chops. 400° oven for 2 minutes...WARPED!
What a waste!
Length of Use: Less than 3 months
Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Pros and Cons
Easy to clean
Warped first time in oven
False advertising
Too expensive to warp first time
