I bought the larger 12" Gotham Steel Pan. It worked beautifully FOR ABOUT A MONTH. Then, with daily use, everything started to stick to it. I never used EVOO or any "spray" oils because those WILL ruin a nonstick surface. I also never used it on any higher heat than MEDIUM because high heat will ruin a nonstick finish. I never used metal utensils so all precautions were made even though they advertise you can use a hand mixer in it.
A few weeks after it started sticking, EVERYTHING stuck and had to be scraped off, so I had to keep soaking it in water. I even tried using Bar Keepers Friend to clean it, but it didn't help.
Since I was ready to throw the pan out, I decided to try using a metal spatula - YES, it most certainly scratched the pan! That was it - the pan went into the trash!
Don't be fooled by their advertisement! The pan is no better than any other non-stick pan. The more you use it, the more it STOPS being non-stick!
Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend
