Initially I thought the Gotham Steel Pan was the greatest fry pan I ever used, but it slowly lost its non-stick quality to the point where everything stuck to it even after greasing the pan before frying. It looked and sounded too good to be true. Whatever the pan is initially coated with wears off quickly and it turns into the cleaning nightmare you are used to. The company was willing to "repair" my pan if I mailed it to them with a check for $9.95. Their lifetime guarantee is definitely misleading! Stay away from this company and if you want to try the pan, buy the identical product from Bed Bath and Beyond for $16 where they honor the warranty without question.
Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend
