Gotham Steel Pans Reviews

Note that this is for the GS Pro pans, not the standard GS pans! The packaging says they are different products. Well, the title kind of says it all. I've had virtually every type of non-stick pan made by mankind. Why? Because most of them ended up in exactly the right place; the trash! However...I found the GS Pro pans at Costco a couple or three months ago. It was the "Pro" in the title that tweaked my curiosity. Marketing, yeah it works on me sometimes. Well, the pans specifically said that they would work on induction cooking systems, a first for non-stick pans that I've found. I took them home and couldn't wait to give them a try.

My wife and I like stuffed hash browns in the morning. The difference is that I like cheese on mine and she doesn't. I put a substantial amount of cheddar cheese on half the hash browns and, wait for it, flipped the hash browns in the pan, waited about 30 seconds and flipped it again. Wow! It was like a TV show! They came out absolutely beautifully! My side had cheese toasted into the potatoes and the wife's didn't. And hey, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING STUCK! I cussed my other pans every time I used them. They stuck like an IRS assessment!

So here I am a couple or three months later and still NOTHING STICKS! These pans are a joy to use. Ok, maybe it's me. I always hand wash my pans with a sponge pad, not a scratchy pad, and a small amount of dishwashing liquid. It doesn't matter if you burned the crap out of supper, they WIPE clean, just like the TV ads! Although they are "dishwasher safe" I choose to wash them in the sink; it takes all of about 15 seconds in the sink. I make sure that I DO NOT USE METAL UTENSILS! EVER. In fact, the instruction sheet that came with the pans specifically says no metal utensils. I use them on a moderate heat, lower than about 80% on my induction cooktop. When not in use, I keep a fabric separator between them so they won't get scratched by the other useless cookware in the cupboard. They work as well today as they did 3 months ago and I use them every day.

Well, that's about all I can say. Would I recommend them? Absolutely! I would just add that you should be willing to play by the rules: no metal utensils and don't get rough with them either temperature-wise or rough handling. Cook on! It's hash brown time!

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Used the small egg pan for a simple fried egg. It stuck badly. Definitely NOT what happened on the infomercial. Definitely does NOT work as advertised. Not only did it not work, we had a hard time cleaning the egg off in the sink. The small pan was a total flop.

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

Luckily, I tried calling again and this time I was able to talk with customer service. They were great and they're sending me the pan I originally ordered free, plus I can keep the pan they sent by accident, and they offered me a 5% discount for their mistake.

We bought the Gotham Steel frying pan approximately 1 year ago. When we first started using the pan it was great and as advertised. However, after approximately 6 months everything would stick - eggs, pancakes, peameal bacon. We went back to our old T-fal pan and although not perfect night and day, better than the Gotham frying pan. Save your money and buy something else.

With all that...Can anyone say they got a refund, and if so, there needs to be more. THIS PRODUCT has failed many and the company is allowed to keep the money. I still have it if you want it back, only used 3 or 4 times.

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

I purchased that product a few months ago and everything I cook in it STICKS. I am not too surprised that upon cooking water that it wouldn't STICK if it could. Even when cooking bacon which makes grease, it still STICKS. I would not recommend this product to anyone, nor will I refer it to anyone.

After 90 days, for some reason everything sticks to it. No wonder they have a 2-star rating! DO NOT BUY! I am 64 years and have not learned not to trust people! It worked great, then all of a sudden eggs started to stick and then everything sticks!

I never buy items off of TV commercials, but I was in need of a new fry pan and for only $20 for two, I figured, "Why not?" The answer was because I wasted $20. These pans are by far the worst in my arsenal when it comes to sticking, and most of my pans are old and worn out. You CANNOT make an omelet with these pans no matter how much cooking oil you use, as the eggs stick terribly and you basically wind up with "scrambled eggs and vegetables". I will return to not wasting my money by not buying made-for-TV items.

I love these pans, they are what the advertisements says...NON-STICK! I am proficient in burning everything...EVERYTHING...I can burn water if you'd let me...but these pans make it extremely hard for me to burn anything. Seriously, the only hype in the commercial is you can use metal utensils...I'd say DON'T. They scratch...but other than that, I'm in love and looking for a larger pan.

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

The twelve-inch frying pan is so warped. You cannot get even heat distribution. It's nothing but crap. DO NOT BUY!

Several other brands with the same features for the same price. Shop around.

This is the worst lie I’ve ever seen! Gotham Steel Pans not only stick, scrape, these are the worst pans I’ve ever bought! Warning to anyone who thinks of buying them...DON’T! Had to buy new pans! The commercial is totally false! DON’T fall for it!

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