How can I believe your review when you're selling this
Because you're seeing on video and not oly believing his word.
I bought a full set with all of the products they have for a amazing deal. I've been using mine ever since and I wouldn't go back!
When you are baking chicken in the oven with the pan you are basically seasoning the pan. That's why it looks and still works somewhat like it did when you first started. We purchased the larger pan 3 months ago and used it every day cooking for a family of 6 and it looks nothing like your pan does. In fact after making tonight's dinner the pan is so bad that we are going to throw it away.
He mentioned in the beginning he used that pan once or twice every week.
Mine has burned stains in mine and I am on youtube trying to see if there are ideas on how to clean it. I wouldn't ever bake in the oven so your info on baking/seasoning the pan is legit. I bought mine at Costco so I can probably return it. I actually bought 2 sizes, likely will return both.
Check out Cuban Redneck DIY... He has a hack for cleaning burned on stuff off with basically a buffer and some pads, and WD-40.
Presumably, once cleaned, it should probably be re-seasoned by rubbing it with oil over the nonstick surface, putting it on 300 in the over for about 20 mins. Taking it out to cool, wiping the excess oil out, and hopefully maybe good to go again? Allegedly, one might need to do this every 3-6 months, or "as needed" when performance degrades and it start sticking?
MY PANCAKES STUCK TO THE BOTTOM OF THE PAN AND I HAD TO SCRAPE IT OFF.
That chicken wasn't even seasoned 😭
true but if your making soup you can season it ;)
@@gunfuego but the secret behind amazing food is to cook the food while it already has seasoning on/in it from the beginning😭 I cringed so hard, whyyyyy🤕
u ain’t kno white people didn’t season food?
Don’t you know white people don’t know how to use spices?
🤣🤣🤣
I had one of these for a good year and honestly loved it, yes it's a frying pan it will not change your world but it made cooking less miserable with that said I always used oil in the pan. Not much but there was always some regardless and yeah it worked extremely well for what it was, when I split with my ex she took the pan I moved multiple states anyways I wasn't going to take it. I generally try to use one pan for everything I possibly can and this thing did very well.
Once I finally got here last month I just bought a cheap generic pan and more than anything else it made me miss this pan for sure. I'm pretty tempted to buy another but really want to see if there is any newer options which are better more than anything.
For the folks considering this I wanna say cheap pans work but they progressively get worse with time tho. The difference between a generic pan and a good one is how well they work in the long run, cheap pans work pretty well when new but they get worse with time this thing always worked well (but I did always use a little oil). If you are the type who refuses to add butter or oil to a pan this may not be your best option it will function but without either it just preforms on park with a "ok" pan which has been oiled.
I’m really thinking about one. I always use little oil or spray
I am looking at a lot of nonstick pan so I can buy what will be best for my needs. Thanks for your review and test. It helped. Keep doing what you love
You really shouldn't use metal utensils on any type of nonstick pan, the coating will get damaged.
fine scatches will get worst , you are right
Good point. Would never use a fork!! Sharp tines and metal.
How old are you?
wow, a 2016 home made video in 4k. that's amazing!
I use mine every day and it started sticking it a lie.
There are plenty pans that are non-stick on the market that work very well. Even a well seasoned cast iron does pretty well. The issue I have with Gotham steel pans, especially the larger ones. It takes forever to get the temperature because of the aluminum construction and terrible warping causing any liquids to pool around the perimeter of the pan
I bought a 2-pack set of the Gotham Pro pans at Costco. They’re NOT non-stick as advertised.
I have had these pans for about a year or so, hoping to add a good set of non-stick cookwear to my kitchen. While initially it seemed to work as you would expect, it seems the finish must have worn off quickly as things started to stick to the pan. Now, even with cooking spray, eggs stick so bad that you have to keep scraping them so they don't stick and burn. It's hard to clean after as you must really scrub with the non-abrasive blue pads to get the residue off the pan. I have never used abrasive pads on these pans, and always give them a wipe with some cooking oil. I think it would have been better to invest in some decent steel pans, rather than waste money on these.
Re-season it, and try again... Rub oil over the full nonstick surface with your fingers or a paper towel, put in the oven at like 300 deg for about 20 mins. Take out, let cool, wipe any residual oil out. See if nonstick performance is restored? ^_^
I hear that's one of the secrets? But, don't quote me on it... Unless it works, then quote away... [/sarc] 🤣
I entertain family and friends alot so i have a 13 pce tri-ply calphalon and Viking set o stainless. The best deals I have ever gotten 10 years ago from $250-350 per set. I got the calphalon 10 piece nonstick set to compliment what I have. With nonstick you can only use low heat or it will quickly lose its nonstick quality. Don't pay attention to these nonstick frauds from Gotham, Ref Copper, Granite Stone,etc!
I love the follow-up videos. keep them coming!
Thanks Clara.
exactly after one month everything started to stick on it.I seasoned it but it got worse. something burned in it and I tried to clean it normally but it didn't work, than I had to scratch it with steel wool and its surface became so weird. my walmart pan is doing better job than this one.waste of money
You aren’t supposed to use these in high heat.. or they warp and get messed up
Lucky you! My Gotham steel pan stuck eggs on the very first day. THOUSANDS of people like me had the SAME results. Either you got a different manufacturer, or we got a counterfeit Gotham Steel pan com the local department store in Canada. Either way.. mine sticks..yours doesn’t.
I agree with you. I cured my pans and was excited to use them. It worked fine with my eggs and quesadillas but then I fried porkchops and it was ruined. So I bought another pan and still the food get stuck after a few uses. I would NOT recommend these pans. :(
Even though it says no butter or oil needed other then to test that theory I would still use one or the other with something like eggs or veggies or low fat meat. As for frying, it does have a lower heat point then the other brands gatham-500° vs copper chef's 850°. I'm sure it's capable of frying just fine but heat the oil up too much and it will destroy the non stick surface.
Mine was fine for about a week of good use then everything stuck to it.
I've had mine for two years and it gets daily use for eggs and other stuff. It works great. After each cleansing, I wipe it or spray it with oil and wipe it out.
I never go above high medium, I never use the dishwasher and if I use heavy soap I cure the surface again.
It looks like the day I bought it. I have the deep square pan also and it looks and performs great. I treat it the same.
Yup. Mine are HORRIBLE! Straight trash.
wow actually a good video ... thank you for sharing.. and one thing I didn't see you mention.. Cooking spray is the worst thing you can do to a coated pan... never use cooking spray .. it will destroy the nonstick coating 10x faster ... if you need oil or want butter... use clarified butter or a high smoke point oil...
Got mine set from Costco, got sticky after a month. I always washed it by hand. How can I season it to make it work it’s magic again?
You can by coating it with some oil then put it in an oven for 30mins @ 250-275 degrees
my pan started sticking after the first month.
Mine too🤬
Mine too
Yep same...
Add me to the list of unhappy customers.
Mine too and i have two of them pans!! Im still angry! The stickiest pans i've ever had lol seriously!
I have one of these pans and find that it works fabulously if you don't use high heat on the stove top. medium heat and you can use a quarter of the oil or butter you usually do and everything comes out really well. I wouldn't expect it to do everything that the guy does on the infomercial.. nothing ever does. but this is still a good pan.
Ignore the infomercial hype. Don't do the things they say that you'd **think** would damage the pans [they do!], and you'll be mostly fine... :)
Re-season every 3-6 mos, or as needed, to restore non-stick performance.
Eggs..... inedible
Even if I fry with oil scrambled eggs if I don't stop mixing constantly the egg sticks to the bottom. Without oil I cannot fry a fly on this pan. Have 2 of them for 3 years. Paint is worn off on edges. Easy to clean using washing dish liquid. Handles are steady and safe. They get warmer but not hot. Pan getting very hot fast so be careful with oil.
Ater 6 months, used once a day 2 pans.. now both pans stick terribly on everything. With or without oil!
These review channels earn cash commision from each pan sold through their UA-cam affiliate link. Thats fine, except these "reviews channels" now have an economic bias to create videos with positive reviews. Who will buy a pan after watching a video where the quality is mediocre?
That's why everyone else finds the pans usually stick right away and the review channels are happy with the product
Mine didn't even last 6 months before everything stuck, had to soak pan to get it clean. Company promised me a replacement and never sent it.
Mine seems to be getting worse every month. I wonder if I have to season it in an oven.
Yes! That's what we wanted to know! 👍
.
I think the dishwasher is funest for such non-stick layers, as the detergent such machines use are very etching.
Is that why the glasses eventually get cloudy? I thought it was just the food bits flying about inside the dishwasher.
EpicReviewGuys Haha. No. It is the etching. 😄
Yeah, don't use dishwasher. Just hand-wash per most instructions on ceramic non-sticks. Don't trust the "dishwasher safe" claims/hype. Drop of dish soap, damp paper towel, rub stuff off, rinse it out...
I got one and it started sticking terribly after a couple weeks. I even tried to season the pan, and I never used metal on it. Maybe that's the trick?
I was just about to try to season mine. But maybe i wont waist my time. Thanks
@@bangbangcfp hi. I still have my Pan. But I basically have to spray it down with cooking spray, the same way I do with any other pan to get it not to stick. Definitely can't do what it claims.
why do u use a fork?
On the eggs, you un-stuck them with the fork before you dumped them on the plate. The Candy, you wiped them from the pan and the commercial dumped them then wiped.
Always, wipe as soon as you take food out while hot... and that's all I got to say on all that...
Editing 3 years later - I now have NO idea why I originally commented on this video... now that's really all I got to say about that.
1) Yes, and the eggs "released" as they should on a non-stick.
2) Or at least warm (you don't want to burn/scald yourself), so it's still pliable, not cooled, dried and completely stuck on. Or, if stuck on when cooled, dod as he did, re-heat it so it melts again (if it's a melty thing), and *then* wipe off while melted / pliable. Generally cold, dried on, hard things don't come off, period. They're generally pretty "bonded" to the surface. But sometimes heating/ melting (if possible) will let it release the bond and come off.
'Nuff said...
Not sure what everyone else is doing, but mine still work great. Haven't mastered eggs in it yet- but everything else is med to med low heat, a little canola oil if any and I've had no issues. Seasoned it initially before cooking first time. Whole set works great.
Still pan alive?
@@Melodie_Info3 actually, it's been flawless. I'm old school I flip my eggs without a spatula. Sometimes the yokes break, but not due to sticking issues.
so why you complaining???@@orangelab6846
Everything sticks to them after a few months.
My pan still looks brand new on the surface, its hard as a rock..... just try cooking food on a rock and then cleaning it off, yes its hard but its junk and even though the surface looks like it just came out of the box everything sticks to it and is the hardest pan to clean. It does not even work when using non coat spray or butter regardless of heat level.
@@malwavguru I agree, even with olive oil & butter stuff is still sticking to it. You are better of with a conventional frying pan.
Did you PRE-TREAT the pan BEFORE FIRST USE?? I know most non stick says to pretreat pans AND NEVER NEVER NEVER PUT THEM IN THE DISHWASHER!! Hand wash ALWAYS! !
I bought a 2-pan set of these a few months ago from Costco. I use them almost daily. I gave a good review of them a couple weeks after purchase. I will be returning them my next trip to Costco. The coating on the larger pan is wearing off and it has been getting progressively worse with foods sticking to it. Bacon fond has to be scrubbed off with an abrasive pad which just makes matters worse.
Yes! I bought these as well and they have burned stains that I can't get off.
Hmm, not my experience with the exact same pan and about 6 months old. The 1st 2-3 months it was good, then it started to lose its magic. I think I'll do my own vid with my findings:)
Re-season it. Sounds like you're at/around the 3-6 mos mark, when it needs re-seasoning, was it ever seasoned to begin with? Seems like a lot of folks don't...
I got a big pan for Xmas. Loved it at first. It says there is not need to use oil or butter on the sticker but it does NOT say anywhere NOT to use it. Also the part about SEASONING before use is not mentioned. So I used some for taste and some spices when I cooked meat. 6 months later it started to stick in the middle. NOT HAPPY.
Some brands mention seasoning, some don't. But it sounds like, from what I'm seeing, it really should probably be done on most of the ceramic non-stick pans, even if it's not listed as the first step [but probably should be], since they all work pretty much the same way and with similar materials... And should probably be re-seasoned every 3-6 months to restore any performance loss. As well as generally treating it properly (not using metal utensils, not putting in dishwasher, etc.)...
Mine warped immediately and everything started sticking after a couple of uses.
Not same results I've seen from many other reviews, so what is your explanation???
Thanks so much for this updated review. I now know these pans are good for my vegan recipeblog. I found these pans got consistently good reviews on Amazon. The ones I want to buy come with two saucepans, two skillets, lids, a stockpot with lid and a steamer. All for $99. I think for a starter set this might work very well for me.
Dolores
I got the complete set. These pans only not stick only a few times. One pan will not even make grilled cheese sandwiches without a mess of sticking. Have to use butter or spray before using. And sometimes that doesn't work.
I bought one and have had pretty much the same results. Not as nonstick as it used to be. mine I've had about a year. what this pan would be perfect for is camping. easy clean up and when you think of how many meals you actually cook out in the woods for a regular joe. this nonstick would last a very long time. good vidio.
Re-season it. Try it again. ^_^ See if that helps / restored the non-stick quality [allegedly, on a few channels about Red Copper / Gotham Steel / GraniteRock&GraniteStone]...
i cooked fried eggs in one of these and i had to scrape part of the egg off of the bottom of the pan
"after 36 uses, is it still good?" lol
You’re not suppose to use metal on a non stick pan
Enjoy your job with Gotham. You worked those pans very well to make them look as though they were still nonstick. I hope you didn't get sick from that totally raw chicken.
I received one as a gift and use it daily, it's an excellent pan for a really good price... Edit: I've read the amazon reviews and the ones that have food sticking are using too high heat when cooking....
gunfuego I just posted earlier today. I only use low to medium heat, I seasoned it, it didn’t go in the oven, and it’s ready for the garbage after six months. One of the worst pans I’ve ever owned.
I don’t like cooking with ceramic pans the food doesn’t come out the same yeah it may be non stock but it just doesn’t get that char look on meats.
I don't believe it my pans are all scratched up. I went out and bought two high quality stainless steel pans. Nothing sticks to them if you use them right and the ones I bought it will never have to replace
The finish is infused with silicone oil
what if you dont want scrambled eggs
Pretty good actually. I might have to grab one of these.
I hate the red copper pans and I haven't tried this one but my father had an Orgreenic pan and liked it very much. he passed away and I have the pan now but I haven't used it yet.
Directions say low to medium heat.
Once you have a stuck surface, what is best way to clean them?
Update in this again, please? Also, did you season it somehow?
Gotta test it after the pan has cooled, any pan is easy to clean while its hot
Am returning my gotham steel pan. I do not use spray oil, use only med & usually low heat, use plastic & rubber utensils and even fried eggs sticl! This pan is not at all what it is advertized to be. Very disappointed.
terrible everything sticks to them i have the green and the copper color both everything sticks i returned the green one twice then walmart quit carrying them so i could not return them it was no time till everything sticks ro rhem
Thanks for the review.... very helpful 👌
i have the complete set, and food sticks. they clean well if you soak for a few minutes
How csn i reach the producer i want to discuss business
you should use a wooden or plastic instead of metal
Mine started burning and sticking after 6 months. Hard to clean, certainly can't wipe it clean. And I treated mine carefully. Only used nylon utensils and lower heat. And don't use it every day. For the price I paid I expected it to last a lot longer. Will never buy another one. Will buy a cheaper non stick that lasts just as long.
Just wondering how the pan is now during the RONA
That song at the end is EPIC!!!!
Thanks Mathew.
Scraping the pan with a fork gave me goosebumps
I bought one of the frying pans at Walmart about 2 months ago. I love it , I wish I could afford to get the whole set . If you take care of the pan it will last for a long time.
Hi Gladys how is it holding up now? A yr. & 2 mths. later?
i just bought my set from walmart, a followup about how it is would be nice!
I used mine everyday past 2 years they were stil like new until boyfriend scrubed with metal utensil 😔. I only hand washed and used a soft sponge , used plastic coated tongs on mine never damaged it till boyfriend got to them . Oh well. I definitely would recommend them though if well taken care off.
@@MrBrandon6678 Fire your boyfriend. Or at least instruct him in proper care of them, before buying a replacement...
Might try re-seasoning it, and see if that cures/temporarily alleviates any ills they might have from metal utensil abuse?
But how does it work with seasoned food 🤔
Is it better to use a plastic/wooden spoon or fork?
Does it get scratched in the dishwasher?
Using metal on ceramic is a no no. Use wood/silicon . You wear it down faster
You should season the pan every 4-5 months if food starts to stick
Thanks for the tip.
I'm re-seasoning mine as we speak.I tend to fry burgers in mine,medium high heat but I still have to soak it later with hot soapy water as the drippings from the burger stuck to the pan.
Crash & Burn
how do you season your pan?
What do you suggest it is seasoned with? type of oil? What temp? How long? Thanks
You season cast iron pans only.
What? Still no scratch test? Was hoping you'd report on trying to see if it really holds up to a hand mixer initially or repeatedly. That was one of the other major claims that you can't scratch or damage it with metal utensils or a mixer.
I know you are supposed to be able to use metal utensils with it but that is still anathema to me- like nails on a chalkboard.
Hi I have the pan and it is so scratched so it doesn't hold up to what they say I'm not trying to get my money back and everything sticks in mine, not a good buy at all.
It states not to use metal utensils in directions before use. To keep pan in good condition DON'T use metal utensils!!!
Honestly I don't cook using as extreme methods as is advertised in the commercial LOL. I still put cooking spray in my pan, even though I know I don't have to. But if it's gonna preserve me pan, why wouldn't I? I also do not use a fork to scramble my eggs in the pan or use metal utensils on my pan. I think if you practice care you can get great use from your pans. And for the price you can't beat it.
A lot of them say NOT to use cooking spray, just a tiny amount of regular oil or butter. I think 'cause some of the cooking sprays have a lower smoke / burn point and may carbonize on the pans, or may have some small amount of flammable propellant, or may have some additional chemicals that maybe slightly abrasive and degrade the surface over time?
But, yeah, don't do the abusive things they show in the infomercials (which the instructions explicitly advise against [like metal / sharp utensils, etc.])
On these type of non stick pans by all manufactures... . they all say NOT to use cooking sprays and high heat Both things will quickly destroy the non stick. So, no sprays and just medium heat.
As the saying goes, when all else fails... READ THE DIRECTIONS.
Ive never had wrapped covered candy. How is that?
I could not cook fancy foods or even eggs. With these pans I am cooking like a Pro now. Eggs, chopped Vegetables, ground meat, the sky is the limit. As a White male who is middle aged, doing even the Simplest tasks was hard, these pans have been a life changer.
Do you ever use it in the dishwasher?
Yeah mine too is sticking already and scratching too it’s a lie
I have four piece of this ,this is very,very nice. I like it.
Cool.
I have had mine for 3 years and it is still a strong non stick pan. However, I use gas and not even bartenders friend gets the bottom clean when on medium heat. I try to cook on very low heat.
I have the pan, it was great when new. Now it is slightly better than steel. it looks like dome rejuvenating techniques were done to this pan. Right now it needs some form of oil.
Have you tried actually RE-SEASONING the pan? IF not, try that. See if some non-stick performance is restored.
Lordy lord.. We have couple of them, and no they are not knock offs, they say gotham steel on bottom. 1st week was pretty good, not like it says. But now, still looks brand new, but can't boil water without it sticking.. Had it maybe a year, and don't use it a lot.. Never scraped metal on it. Nothing like commercial says
Also, it is supposed to be a LIFETIME warranty according to the wording on the sticker...not 90 days or whatever else they say it should be.
RubiOne Page EXACTLY. They always say lifetime but the warranty when you look it up says 90 days and mine is ready for the garbage after about six months. Read my review and see how carefully I treated it, and how bad it is. Terrible pan.
Our 9.5” Gotham Steel “non stick” pan is going in the trash along with the grill/skillet. They used to work - been very careful using them but after less than a year and not even used as often as most people, they both stick and we are not even going to give them away.
Just clean them fully, re-season them, and try again (as long as you haven't scraped / scratched / damaged the surface with abrasives, etc., or totally carbonized things on there). As I understand it, that'll often restore non-stick performance. Seems to be recommended every 3-6 mos, or as needed on many ceramic non-sticks...
This seems to be much better than the granite rock pans
Honestly, they both seem pretty similar from the various reviews I've seen on UA-cam...**Shrug**
Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep! FIRE!!! LOL Glad you did not set off the smoke alarm.
Great great demonstration. I appreciated it.
Question ..do you use a regular fork and does it scratch?
You can scratch the pan using a fork. They don’t recommend high heat.
I bought this pan, I use it almost everyday for 2 months. I always uses a little bit of butter when cooking eggs and they slide around. I would put this right up there with invention of computer, invention of airplane as invention of the century. 1. You waste little food 2. You can usually clean pan with no water and 1/4 of paper towel.
pirucreek are you crazy...computer or airplane... go to ikea they sell a 4 dollar pan that passes all the same test
Philip Grooms I lost the non-stick on the pan. I kind of get it back with bar keepers friend and vinegar but not the same.
To get it to be non-stick again, wipe some vegetable oil in the inside of it well with a paper towel. Put it in a 350 degree Fahrenheit oven for 30 minutes. Take it out, let it cool and watch how well it works then.
Gina 1965 ...These aren't cast iron...
u have to season the pan every 6 months
My Gotham Steel skillet sort of still works with eggs… it cleans up easy but it does NOT slide out at all anymore. In fact, it only slid out the very first time I used it. Never again after that. And forget about eggs, try cooking turkey sausage links (Johnsonville, no skins) in that skillet. Sticks every single time, whether or not I use oil or butter. I have to clean it with an SOS pad! I've learned my lesson. I'm getting a Lodge cast iron skillet next time.
Re-season it. Then try again. ^_^
Th- The chicken... THE CHICKEN!!!!!
Gotham pot do stick every time I use mine. I love my pot but my egg do stick to my skillet
First the heat to high
Second use plastic utensil
Third always use oil butter
Are there any non stick pans at all that would last?
Hmmm. It seems like the coating eventually wears off most of them though "re-seasoning" is said to help keep them non-stick longer.
I've used cast iron for years, they're better than new now.
after 3 months. a small crack is visible on the bottom inside of the skillet. it also sticks .not too bad. Nothing that I haven't been able to clean .
I purchased the 19 inch fry pan about 6 weeks ago, already i am having discoloring and major sticking, I used a bit of oil or butter to the pan with no luck, not worth the $20 I paid am so glad I chose to use this pan as a text before buying the whole set.
Did you season the pan first?
Jared Gittens yes I did seaso
I know to season a new pan and even though it said no oil or butter needed I still used it, the bottom of the pan became discolored and with or without oil its not worth using.
All these work great new and only let you down over time. I've given up on these "non Stick" that start failing in 1 - 2 years-- I went to Carbon Steel-- after seasoning it only get better over time. Also carbon steel pans thick and stays flat -- no warping.
followed manufacturers instruction and its still worthless, I had the same results
Yeah that's exactly what I was going to say you got to season the pan every 4 to 5 months and as well as it works even if you had to spray a little bit of Pam spray a light coat and wipe it out as long as the pan doesn't stick and it doesn't scratch and it does a good job I mean there's nothing perfect you know those people on TV I've got those pants seasoned and they've got them the best that they're going to be to do the job
If you are going to baby that pan you can make it last pretty long. At $20-30 a pan you are better off with calphalon or cusineart nonstick cook sets. Better quality and you will do just as well. With better features and quality.
