Gotham Steel Pans Reviews

I got one for Christmas last year and use it virtually every day to make eggs. I used a rubber spatula, never used metal, but the nonstick surface is literally falling apart, disintegrating, looks like someone's been using it with a knife everyday.

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

I, too, fell for this scam. Right out of the gate, whether you use the pans dry or with oil, everything sticks and burns onto the surface. I soak them for days, scrub with the rough plastic part of a sponge, and nothing, the burned on residue remains. If I scrub hard enough to get the residue off, the surface of the pan comes off too, and is dull and then sticks worse the next time.

I called the customer support number today and it's one of those companies that sells 100 gimmick products and this one wasn't even listed in their myriad of options. I pressed 0 and got the rudest, most abrupt representative I've had the displeasure of talking to in a long time...CUSTOMER SUPPORT! She told me she'd never heard of this problem before...I'm the first and only one, right! She said to clean the pans with Brillo pads, only Brillo, and they will come clean. I asked her why the cleaning directions don't say that if that's the only way to get them clean and she just said "get them." As I told her, I have never used Brillo pads, have never needed to on any cookware my entire life, but now I have to have special pads to clean these horrible pans. Yeah, right. They are going right back to the store instead.

DO NOT BUY these, or if you fall for their beauty and the promise, hold onto your receipt and don't mess with their customer non-support, just return them to the store within the return window. Total scam! I can't even believe these are still sold anywhere, they're that bad.

I do love this pan but am worried about the chipping on the service of cooking area in several places, is this a defect or recall? I would like a lot of these pans but am unsure of this at this time.

This pan is less than a year old, but everything sticks to it and it’s warped. A waste of money, glad I was able to line the pockets of some darn executive. We use it to feed our goats now.

We bought it in the As Seen On TV aisle. Horrid.

I got the Gotham Steel frying pan, only one mind you, but I also ordered the Gotham Steel pan with basket that goes in the oven and the large pot with cover, and well, the pan is the oven sticks, and the frying pan scratched as well as the large pot. I never sent it back because I have not had time, but needless to say, I will not be buying any more.

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

Our experience is similar to many others. Eggs stick and are hard to remove. I would not recommend it. TV ads are deceptive! Lots of poor reviews confirm this is a bad deal. I will stay away from their products in the future.

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

Would give zero stars if I could.

My husband bought me some of these pans and they were good for the first few times I used them. Now they are scratching, chipping, and everything sticks to them. They didn't hold up to what was said about them going in the oven or the fire. I will not buy these again, and I tell everyone that asks about them that they are not good pans and not worth the money.

I ordered the deep square pan and skillet. The deep pan came with an electric induction cooking plate. The plate only heated up the center of my pan. Around the center stayed raw or uncooked. I had to keep pushing it into the center of the pan for it to cook.

I loved the pans for about three months. Now they STICK CONSTANTLY! Both pans have cracks and scratches all over the bottom of them from trying to release the food I was cooking. In fact, the deep pan has a huge chip out of the bottom of it. I am so disappointed in my pans. I was foolish to have thrown away my receipts. I honestly believed what they were telling me. Yes, I cured the pans with vegetable oil. Nonstick sprays are useless. Everything STICKS IN THESE PANS! I regret purchasing these pans. I don't use that tiny induction plate either. I had tossed my older pans because I thought that these copper pans would last. Boy am I feeling stupid now. I learned a hard lesson. I don't recommend anyone purchasing these pans unless you SAVE your RECEIPTS and DON'T use metal on those pans!

We are on a tight budget and can't buy more pans. I am taking pictures of the bottom of my pans to send in. UNBELIEVABLE!

I like my Gotham Pans and strainer pot, but some design features should be improved upon.

After much use, the fry pans are not as slippery as before, but I confess, I always use cooking oils/butter, which is not recommended, but I want to for the flavors.

I would pay more if the following features were added...heat proof handles for the lids of the pots. These are present on the sides of the strainer pot but not on the lid top. Of course, one always needs to lift the lid to stir, etc., and you will burn your hand. Likewise, on the large fry pan, the two handles should be heatproof, and I would pay more if they were.

Do not buy the frying pans. I received pans as a gift 6 months ago. To date, eggs made with butter stick to the bottom, leaving a crusty residue to be soaked off. The large fry pan chipped in two spots. I never used any harsh materials on it or to clean. I called customer service. They would not take back. They advised me to call the person who gave it to me and ask for a receipt. If they don't have it, there's nothing she can do. Not a nice representative. I am truly surprised that this company will not stand by their product. My entire set is either defected or their products do not hold true. I will not endorse these products in any way when I have the proof.

This is their merchandise! Whether it was bought directly from the company or received as a gift. Sadly enough, I was thrilled when I got them. No more. I am very disappointed.

My mother bought me this set for my birthday, as I had been wanting it after watching the infomercial. Well, one week after buying them, I made mashed potatoes in the large pot and used electric beaters like the infomercial. It scratched the surface terribly, rendering pot useless. I was NOT impressed, and now I am giving them away or throwing out. I am going to buy a different brand. I am so mad at how useless these are.
