I have had a number of Gotham Steel Fry Pans, and in general find them very good, however, the non-stick quality appears to last about three years, and I still use the pans on an almost daily basis. I find that I have to season the pans with a little olive oil every week or two, that procedure last about four or five days, i.e., NON-stick.
Even though the "non-stick" no longer works, they are easy to clean.
Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
