Gotham Steel Pans Reviews

We bought the 12" frying pan because some of the old type no-stick pans didn't work properly after a while. This one was supposed to help with this problem but doesn't. Everything you cook in the pan sticks. I would not recommend any of Gotham's products to anyone.

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

I got the 9.5-inch nonstick pan as a Christmas gift. I was very excited to use it after seeing all the infomercials advertising the pan. The first time I used it was to make garlic chicken breast, but I had to use olive oil to get the nice darkened crisp outside. The chicken and the garlic spice stuck to the pan. No big deal, I will soak it in water before cleaning. The second time I was making eggs sunny side up and that turned out to be a disaster. The eggs were very dry and stuck to the pan horribly. The eggs were folding and would not come off the pan.

After only two attempts at using the pan, I was very disappointed. I at least was expecting to see the eggs slide off as in the infomercial. Very misleading! It’s a cheap pan for around $20, but I would still use oil or butter when cooking. The one good thing is the pan doesn’t scratch so you can use a metal spatula. Cleaning still requires soaking in water and scrubbing.

I purchased a fry pan several months ago and simply love it. I purchased the cookie sheet just before Christmas, and the first thing I made in it was my Pumpkin Bars. They have never baked so evenly, and I was so impressed. I made a lot of cookies at Christmas and had no problem with sticking.

My only disappointment with the fry pan is that it did not include a lid. People need to understand that the instructions do say to season your pan before using and to season it on a regular basis. Treat it as if it was cast iron. As for the bottom of the pan, every now and then I will notice a little yellow on it and simply use a little soap and water, and it comes right off. My fry pan still looks like new, and I am looking forward to purchasing more pans in the very near future.

Do not purchase. Go spend your money in a casino; you will have better luck! The product worked okay at best for the first couple of times. Everything now sticks, and the pan is warped. The claims made on TV are not true. We have a five-year-old pan from another company that works much better.

Stuff sticks. Eggs, potatoes, everything. It does burn and is NOT how it is advertised. I went back to my old iron skillet, which I have used for the past 40 years. I'll stay with it. I was going to send it back to the company, but my children said to keep it and "SHOW" this product to all company. I cook only for my husband and my self. No large family since children are all married and out of the house.

They were a Christmas gift last year. Well, these pans, after a month of use stick so bad, you have to use lots of oil. They are now warped on the bottom, so they don't cook evenly. Worse pans ever. I am not sure what to buy. I think we are going to cast iron pans. They are heavy, but as long as I have to use a lot of oil may as well get these.

I was given a Gotham Steel 12" frying pan as a gift. The first time I used it, I didn't use any grease, as suggested. My eggs stuck to the pan and they were so dry and rubbery. I tried it again frying up chicken, and again everything stuck in the middle of the pan. Next, I tried using a little olive oil and still everything stuck to the pan.

My cousin had the same problem with her frying pan. I also have a Copper Chef pan, and it is fantastic and does what it claims. Nothing sticks to it, and it is so easy to clean. So my advice is to stay away from buying Gotham Steel, it is a rip-off. If you want a good quality copper pan, go with Copper Chef.

I was looking forward to this pan and was very disappointed. It worked well for a week and then I noticed things sticking. I never cook on high so cooking an omelet over med heat as seen on TV should not stick, but guess what? It stuck. Ugh. Very sad, and I really don’t have that much money to waste.

I wish I had checked out the ratings online before purchasing. I have to admit that I was very impressed at first. I cooked eggs in butter, and it worked wonderfully. One day I left something on the stove a little too long, and it burned. Now it is definitely not working like advertised. It is still better than other fry pans. If something sticks, I use a little warm water and a plastic scrubber and it comes off fairly easily. I still fry burgers or eggs in it a lot.

My review has to do with how long it takes to receive the product, as I haven't yet. I placed the order on December 10th, with 2 days to get the shipping info to FedEx, 2 more days for the order to arrive at FedEx, 4(!) days to get it out of the FedEx facility and en route, and then a projected 9 days to get it from Nevada to Florida by projected December 27th! This is ridiculous! Absurd! Outrageous!

If you're in a hurry to get your order, good luck! I will certainly never place another order for this product regardless of how good it might be!

I had to put one star because they don't have a "no stars" option. This product, like all other nonstick pans, works like crap. When new, it worked ok, but after a dozen uses, its true colors came out, the color of burnt. I should have known. Damned TV commercials. Anyway, it's crap.
