Just kidding about non-stick
To prevent sticking you must use butter, cooking oil, or spray. It got two stars only because some items came out okay. However, used it to cook egg whites and got a horrible mess. Almost impossible to wash even with extensive soaking.
Length of Use: 3–6 months
Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Pros and Cons
No “pros” were specified in this review
Very hard to wash

Need some instructions
The pans aren't too bad, but there must be a trick to using them. For example, get the pan too hot and the bottom bulges up. Things seem to stick until fully cooked. Then they can be gently pried off the bottom. First piece of French toast sticks, but subsequent pieces do not.
Length of Use: 3–6 months
Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Pros and Cons
No “pros” were specified in this review
Bottom bulges, won't stay flat
Food sticks, contrary to advertising
Too small to do family sized foods

Gotham Steel Frying Pans
My experience both with the pans themselves and the customer satisfaction at Gotham Steel is even worse than the performance if that is possible. The nonstick is a myth after a very short usage time and complaining to the company does you no good. What they want is for you to return your pans at your cost and include a US check for $9.99 shipping charges for the replacement of pans that are no good.
Length of Use: 3–6 months
Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Pros and Cons
The short no-stick period
Light weight (swivels all over the place and since I have one hand to work with stirring and holding is impossible)
Way too low, easy to spill over whether liquids or solids
The back does not clean no matter what you do, oil is there to stay

How come no zero stars is offered?
Had cookware for numerous years and I have to produce a receipt for them to replace. It was a gift. Where am I supposed to produce a receipt? So much for lifetime guarantee.
Length of Use: 2+ years
Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Pros and Cons
The top that you could drain with
Customer Service for replies
Should have demanded the the gift giver give me a receipt and I sleep with it under my pillow every night

Length of Use: Less than 3 months
Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Pros and Cons
Look pretty
Cheaply made non-stick coating

Don't buy, a piece of junk
The pan only lasted a short time, now everything sticks to the bottom. Their lifetime warranty is a joke, by the time you pay all the shipping and handling you can buy a new pan.
Length of Use: 6–12 months
Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Pros and Cons
At first it was easy to use and worked well
After a short time everything started sticking

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
