Gotham Steel Pans Reviews

It was great for the first few months. We used it according to the manufacturer's instructions.

But then the pan started to lift in one area, and then started to stick in that area despite using oil, to the point that it's now harder to clean this pan than our non-nonstick pans. To add insult to injury, in order to get a replacement we need to send the pan back to the manufacturer in New York AND pay a processing fee, which adds up to more than the original purchase price of the pan itself. Very disappointed.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Well, like all other people who bought this Gotham Garbage were interested in the non stick and durability claims, but like always, if it's online or on TV it's probably 100% JUNK manufactured to ride around the world on a container ship from port to port to get here then returned back, wasting energy and polluting our world.

Eggs not sticking is the biggest lie, they stick.

I bought the deep square pan (with a steamer and deep fry baskets) and large frying pan from BJ's. The square pan seems ok, but it doesn't see much action.

The large frying pan is a whole other story. Within one or two uses, food started sticking and I had to start adding butter or oil to the pan before cooking in it. I knew I was in trouble when even greasy BACON STUCK TO IT! How is that possible?! I had to scrub the heck out of it to clean off the stuck-on bacon.

Another time, the pan got put in in the dishwasher with stuck-on food on it. It came out with burnt food still on it. Had to scrub with Dawn for 5+ minutes to get it clean, and even then there are traces still evident. Pan also got scratched early on, and I don't use metal on it. I'm assuming something in the dishwasher did it.

So, I went on YouTube looking for reviews before finding this site. There were many how-tos on how to keep food from sticking to it (ironic). One suggestion was how to season the pan like you would cast iron. Trying that right now. We'll see how it does.

I also went on the official Gotham Steel website and found it very telling that the site doesn't feature customer reviews.

Worked like a charm on day one, after that eggs started to stick. Had to use butter for them not to stick after that. I have to soak and scrub the pans now. What more can I say, they lasted 3 months. Disappointed because I was hoping to not use butter anymore.

I like many others bought into the claims about the Gotham non-stick, tough, easy to clean frying pan. My disappointment began with my first use. I was cooking eggs, and much to my surprise, they stuck! At first, I thought perhaps I had the heat too high, so when I next cooked eggs I lowered the heat, only to get the same result! This continued with whatever I chose to cook - steak, onions (which I love), vegetables, hamburger patties, liver, even mushrooms. The claim nothing sticks is the same claim snake oil hustlers made over 100 years ago saying, "this will cure all your aches and pains." My pan has never come clean like in the adverts. I feel ashamed that I was such a dupe to fall for this product that does not come anywhere close to the claims made on the telly. I'm sure they use some sort of camera tricks to get those eggs to slide off the way they do. I hate to say it, or maybe I'm proud to say it, my pan is going in the bin as soon I as I hit the "Send" button!

Everything sticks. It's all chipped inside the pot 5 months after buying. I bought the set and regret it. Waste of money.

No receipt so no one wants to help. I still have them to show friends the crap I bought. I love to cook and these are not a cook's dream, lol.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Crap, just crap. Wouldn't clean after first use. Strongly recommend finding some other pans, these are horrible. Terrible costumer service as well. They wouldn't help me at all and asked for me to pay more to have it shipped to me after me having to pay to ship it to them.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

The same problem as all the other complaints. I purchased two pans, used the 10" twice and it is scratched to death...by the salt?

And all customer service does is give me the Gotham Warranty division address in New York no phone number fax number or e-mail.

Over the years I have purchased numerous "non-stick pans" in hopes of actually finding a pan that was truly non-stick. Many will last a few months and I have actually had a couple that last for a year or better. However, these Gotham Pro ceramics are the worst I’ve ever used. Everything sticks, eggs, bacon, ham, etc. I’ve tried seasoning them, cleaning them, using Pam and oil and still everything sticks. Perhaps I’m doing something wrong but I would think these would at least work new out of the box, and they didn’t.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I got these pans for me and my brother because I thought great, nothing will stick and I won’t have to use butter or oil since I try and watch what I eat. Anyway, they are not stick proof and they are not scratch proof. Like I said, not worth the money, very disappointed.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I bought the whole set and used them and at first thought yeah, these are nice, until they began to get scratched inside! And burnt food has to be soaked or scrubbed off!

Not worth my money or time. I am so disappointed!
