Things to Consider Before Buying a Gotham Steel Pan
Set/Single
If you are looking for a specific pan, for example, a pan only for your grilling purposes, then you can choose to buy the pans from Gotham Steel that are sold individually. If you want a complete solution to all your kitchen needs and are looking for a comprehensive set to give you full coverage starting from small breakfasts to a dinner party, then you can choose to buy the sets which include multiple pans as well as other components such as frying basket and steaming tray.
Induction compatibility
Many people who are living in a college dorm or at temporary housing will not want to go through the trouble of owning a gas stove and would rather prefer an induction cooker. If you are looking for a pan that can go on top of the stove as well as on the induction cooktop, then Gotham Steel has some excellent pans that have a base that can conduct heat from the induction cooker.
One thing that you should be aware of is that not all pans from Gotham Steel have this ability, so if you do not have a gas stove, then you should check if the pan you are going to buy is induction compatible or not.
Size, shape, and depth
Do you want a pan for making pizzas, bake round-shaped cakes, or make homemade stock? Depending on what you want to make, you have to carefully select the size of the pan, whether it will be round shaped or square, and also how deep you need it to be.
The good news is that Gotham Steel offers you a wide range of sizes and depth, and also offers you both round and square pans hence once you have decided on your desired specification, you will surely find it in Gotham Steel’s collections.
What makes Gotham Steel pan special compared to the pans from other brands?
When it comes to kitchenware, there are many renowned brands and you might be wondering, why Gotham Steel? Well, here we will answer your question by looking at the key aspects of Gotham Steel pans that set them apart from the others on the market.
Exceptional non-stick surface
There are very few brands that can compete with the non-sticky surface of Gotham Steel pans. The non-stick surface is made of a special compound called Ti-Cerama, which is titanium combined with ceramic. First of all, this combination makes the non-sticky surface very efficient.
Whereas many other brands which advertise themselves as "non-sticky" still require some kind of oil or butter to help the surface stay well lubricated, Gotham Steel will provide you the non-sticky feature without the use of any oil. You can poach eggs, make omelets, crepes, caramelize sugar, melt chocolate, and do a lot more things without the use of any oil. One good example here is melting or searing cheese.
Even with non-stick pans, melting cheese or searing them is a disaster for the pan since they will invariably stick to the pan and it will be almost impossible to remove the burnt cheese from the pan. But with Gotham Steel pans, you can make even a very thin sheet of melted cheese and it will slide smoothly out of the pan like magic. This superior non-sticky feature also means that the cleaning is easier than you could have ever imagined.
All you need to do is to wipe the surface off and the pan is ready to be used again. This is very important when you need to cook food one after another using the same pan, in a short period. For example, you want to roast some tomatoes as a side to your poached eggs. You can poach the egg first, wipe the surface with a cloth, and directly start roasting your tomatoes on the same pan without wasting time by putting the pan into the dishwasher, drying, and then going for the next step.
Extremely durable
When we were younger and were helping out our mothers in the kitchen, we remember her warning us not to use any metal spatula on a non-stick pan and also to never use any abrasive sponges for cleaning non-stick pans. Non-stick pans were always to be treated as delicate cookware that needed to be washed and used with extra care and the fear of damaging the non-stick coating. But now, Gotham Steel pans have changed it all! The titanium of the non-stick surface makes it so scratch-resistant that you can use any metal utensils on it while cooking.
This means that if you have baked a pizza using a Gotham Steel pan, you can run a pizza cutter through the pizza while it is still in the pan. This also means that you can mix a cake batter using an electric beater inside the pan that you want to bake the cake in. Incredible, right?
The exceptionally durable non-stick pan also has the advantage that it can be washed in the dishwasher without the fear of the detergents damaging it. Also, since the surface is so resistant to chemical damage, you can cook acidic food such as a sauce with a high acid content such as tomatoes and vinegar, without causing any damage to the pan.
Versatile
One of the first questions we ask ourselves when we buy new kitchenware is whether it can be used for multiple purposes. For Gotham Steel pans, the answer would be an absolute yes, since each of the pans from this company can be used to do almost anything from simple daily cooking to performing gourmet culinary techniques that you would only watch your world-famous chefs do on the TV.
For example, while the Gotham Steel pans can be used on the stove to stir-fry your vegetables and make omelets, they can also be used to bake pizza, cakes, casseroles, and many other things in the oven as they can withstand temperatures as high as 500 degrees F.
They can also be used for outdoor cooking such as grilling your favorite item at a barbecue party or making yummy smores at a camp night. Another unique feature of the Gotham Steel pans in this regard is that it is flameproof, and what this means is that you can Flambe your food! Flambe is a fancy technique used in many restaurants to add a spark of drama to the culinary experience.
The dish or dessert is set on fire, and you can watch the gorgeous flames dance around the food before you have them. This is unimaginable to be done with other non-stick pans since this would damage the surface of the pan, but with Gotham Steel pans, this dream becomes a reality. Another great feature of some of the sets by Gotham Steel is the deep pans that come with a steaming rack and a frying basket.
This takes your cooking to the next level because you can make deep-fried dishes and steamed dishes without having to buy a steamer or a deep fryer. Apart from this, some pans from Gotham Steel are also compatible with induction cooktops, which means you can get all your cooking done without the need for a stove.
Contemporary design
Not only will Gotham Steel pans change the way you cook inside your kitchen, but will also change how your kitchen looks. All of their pans come with an elegant matte black exterior and a copper-colored interior, which adds a classy look to your kitchen collection.
The lids that accompany the pans also look very modern since they are made of high-quality tempered glass. The handles of the pans are designed to be sturdy and ergonomic at the same time, which will give you a comfortable grip while cooking.
Composition
Hidden under the elegant exterior of any Gotham steel pan is an aluminum core, which makes sure that the heart is well-conducted to the food and the heat is distributed evenly throughout the food, preventing any undercooked or overcooked parts. The handles of these pans are made of stainless steel which will stay cool during the cooking process and keep your hands protected from any accidental burns.
Now that you know why the Gotham Steel pans are different from the other pans that you have been using, and how they can make your life so much better, easier, and healthier, this is the time you go on to the next section where we will tell you about the factors to be considered to decide which Gotham Steel product to buy.

I purchased about 3 of your Gotham fry pans. Very satisfied except one has a tendacy to STICK I have not used
any SOS pads or anything else just my sponge that I use on all my pans and dishes. Can you tell me why this
is happening . It as one of your First Fry Pans to come out $ 19.99 . If you can send my another one NO CHARGE
I would appreciate it very much. Eggs, stick bacon sticks making grilled cheese sandwiches stick, so something
must be wrong to have this happen.
Your attention to this matter is greatly appreciated. I purchased all my pans thru you on your TV advertisement.
Hope to hear from you soon.
Thank you
Barbara Keys
I bought 2 of your skillets one is 11 inches the other is 9 1/2 inches. I take very good care of my pans, never been in the dishwasher, always washed by hand with a soft sponge no metal utensils ever used and i was very happy with them. Now the large skillet is fine, never sticks, but the 9 inch one it does not matter what I cook in it, it sticks. I have tried putting in a bit of vegetable oil in it to prevent the sticking, to no avail, the sticking still happens. I’m very disappointed with this pan, it’s the most convenient size for me, as there are just my husband and I. I hope you can rectify this problem by sending me a new pan. Looking forward to hearing from you regarding this matter. Thank you.

Hello Mrs. V. Segriff,
You need to contact customer support. DId you buy from amazon? Then please ask on the support there.
We are a website that reviews products. We are not the owner of this products.
Thanks
I had the same experience. Tried calling customer service and they could care less!
I got the 9.5” skillet as a Christmas present was told I had to send them the fry pan freight on me then had to pay them 9.98 shipping and handling so I was paying more to exchange the pan. I would never buy anything else with the name Gotham steel.
To say disappointing is a understatement
I also bought the pan and now it sticks worse than a regular pan, even with oil. the surface is strong so even a wire brush leaves no mark, but now that is needed.
I winced when I saw that you used vegetable oil on your pan in desperation. You didn’t say which kind of oil but the directions on most of these non-stick pans warn against using vegetable oils – olive oil being the worst. These oils leave an extremely difficult to remove residue behind that just about kills the non-stick surface.
I have had the small pan for about a year and without some oil, even eggs stick.
And one of the design flaws of this pan is that the handle is fastened through the pan, rather than welded to the outside of it. So, anything that touches these fastener heads while cooking, will stick and actually builds up. So diligent scrubbing of these heads is necessary.
The fact that this pan did operate as advertised (without oil) for the first few months leads me to belief that some of the coating has disappeared (I wonder where it ended up!).
Bought a 9 1/2 Gotham pan and found it to be one of the biggest pieces of crap I’ve ever purchased. Can’t cook anything in it without oil and with oil it still sticks. Don’t really think you could cook anything in it that wouldn’t stick. The BBB needs to look into this company for false advertising and about a product that is just a plain piece of crap. Would like my money back and to be reimbursed for return postage.
I am like others leaving reviews
I have not had one meal that didn’t stick
Biggest piece of junk. And I will contact BBB and let them know in order to replace it it’d cost me more in freight and handling than they are worth
I hope people read reviews before wasting their money
Bought this after seeing video don’t know what pan he was using the Gotham one I bought is a piece of crap after making 2 fried eggs and absolutely demolishing them it’s in the bin old tefal one put it to shame.
As expressed prior on this site, the smokeless grill coating worked fine for several uses. Then food began to stick and it is impossible to clean. Always careful with treatment, and never used metal on the grill. Explicitly says can wash in dishwasher, which I have done. Very angry that I can’t communicate with the company directly to get information, express concerns or obtain help to deal with the surface sticking. We have purchased several sets from the TV shows.
I believe any reputable company would allow the purchasers to express concerns or complaints and obtain redress directly.
yeah well – our 9″ gotham steel skillet worked well the few times we used it – not everything sticks to it.
