GOTHAM STEEL Hammered Copper 12 Inch Non Stick Frying Pans with Lid, Frying Pans Nonstick with Lid, Non Toxic Ceramic Pan for Cooking, Nonstick Frying Pan, Induction Pan, Oven and Dishwasher Safe

I have been using this frying pan nearly every day for the last four months to make breakfast, and I am satisfied with its performance.Once it is used on a medium to low heat on my gas stove, it wipes off very easily. If the heat is higher, it takes a little longer to clean off, but nothing remains stuck on.

Great pan and it actually is non-stick. Have purchased several non-stick pans over the years and within a few month they begin to stick when cooking. This one is still as good as the day it was purchased. It is a large capacity pan used for cooking larger dishes and the heat is dispersed across the pan so there are no hot spots.

This pan has become my go-to for everyday cooking. The nonstick ceramic coating works flawlessly, making cleanup a breeze, and the even heating from the induction plate ensures perfectly cooked meals every time. The hammered copper design is not only beautiful but also functional. It’s oven-safe, dishwasher-friendly but easy to hand wash quickly, and completely non-toxic, which gives me peace of mind. Whether I’m sautéing, frying, or baking, this pan does it all effortlessly. Highly recommended for any kitchen!

The 'nonstick' frying pan I had been using for years was a mess. I knew I needed to replace it -- but I wasn't willing to buy another cruddy one that I knew would end up just like the one I had. And I wasn't willing to spend the $$ for the one I really wanted. Then I saw this one and read the reviews. One video review from a regular guy sold me. He had been using his for about 3 weeks and it looked brand new. He commented about how much he could fit in the pan. I was also impressed that it is safe up to 550 degrees. I bought the pan and boy, have I been enjoying cooking stuff! They say you can use steel utensils in it, and I have done so very gingerly. Mostly, I just use silicone spatulas to move things around. It does a SUPERB job on sauteed onions. Last night I made blueberry pie filling from frozen blueberries. Cleanup is quick and easy. Oh -- I LOVE the lid! It fits perfectly and cleans up just as easily. If you're debating -- don't. Just buy it. It goes into my "what did I ever do without it" category!

I took it out of the box and added some water. As you can see in the image, it's not flat. There's a small inverse bowling. I removed 1 star for that.But also as you can see in the image, it's a bit water-phobic, which bodes well for non-sticking. We'll see how long that lasts.My first use was bacon followed by eggs. It performed perfectly. Cooked well and no sticking at all. Clean up was super easy.It looks great and seems to be of good quality. It's light, which can be good, but makes me worry a bit about durability.The handle didn't get hot -- unless I got too close to the pan. That is, even the "sleeve" portion of the handle was too hot to touch nearer the pan. Not a problem but something to be aware of because it LOOKS like it wouldn't be hot there.I won't be touching it with metal and I'll only be hand washing it.

Excellent pan for the price. Easy clean up. Love it!

Definitely non stick, no butter or oils needed . I just put milk in the pan scrambled 4 eggs and nothing stuck. Turned out perfect!

Needed a new big pan so got this beautiful hammered copper Gotham. Both my husband and I cook a lot. And the intention was that this was going to be our new favorite pan that we would use all the time.We always hand wash our big nonstick pans. Our last big nonstick pan was from Williams Sonoma and it lasted for 4 years before the nonstick coating started getting nonstick. Because we wanted to give this new nice-looking pan extra care and a long life of no scratches, instead of stacking it with other pots and pans in the cabinet by the stove, we hung it in the pantry away from anything, by itself, in order that nothing could bang or scratch it. And we noted that you shouldn’t over heat it or use nonstick spray on it.We’ve only been using it for 4 weeks. And here’s why we may have to find a new pan soon:A. Food is sticking to the non-stick coating already in many areas. Eggs stick on it. I don’t have a picture of the spinach or potatoes sticking to it. So now we have to remember to use cooking oils and of this defeats the purpose of why we bought a nonstick pan.We use wooden and plastic cooking utensils so we haven’t scratched the nonstick coating.B. It got nicked. Despite storing it separately fromother pots and pans.C. It’s so wide that it’s wider than our burners. Not a problem for most cooking if we want to use the areas close to the edges for keeping batches of food cooler. But when cooking lots of eggs at a time, the outer edges are not cooking like the center of the pan. For eggs we want even heating. So best not to use this big pan for it. So now we miss our old big pan and may get that again to replace this.D. Lastly, the worst issue. The bottom of the pan is depositing silver streaks on to our black glass stovetop. Even just gently sliding the pan off the burner to a cooler spot on the stovetop caused the wide long streak shown in the photo. So three things—one—the bottom of the pan is scraping metal off on to the glass top. two, it’s hard to remove. I tried removing the scuffs with a vinegar and baking soda soak and scrub twice didn’t work. Then a comet powder scrub twice. Still some scuffs left. And finally three—the bottom of the pan is losing layers of metal, depositing it on to the stove. We will have to remember to not slide the pan on the stove and to lift it when moving it around.We’ve never had these issues from our other expensive AND cheaper pans before.Not sure if we got a dud pan from Gotham. But we’ve had many nonstick pans that lasted longer than this one.
