I was given a set of Gotham Steel frying pans as a gift. About two months after using them, food started to stick to the pans. At first, I was able to scrub them clean but now, after three months of use I cannot get the pans clean. I cooked link sausages in the pan (you know, sausage has a lot of grease), and the links stuck to the pan.
I couldn't get the warranty replacement as they were a gift and I don't have the credit card information (and actually I don't think I'd want the pans replaced, that's how bad I think they are)!
In my opinion, these frying pans suck! There was no "zero" rating, so I was forced to give the pans one star on this website.
Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend
