Gotham steel pans are labeled safe for dishwasher cleaning. Through experience, we have discovered that dishwasher cleaning tends to diminish the life of any non-stick cookware.

Gotham Steel 11-inch Ceramic Copper Frying Pan

Design:

This 9.5 inch wide pan from Gotham Steel has a circular body with a light brown interior and a dark gray exterior. The top edge is spread outwards while a shiny elongated handle attached to the body using two rivets. The pan weighs only 1.15 pounds making it one of the lightest pans you can buy.

Gotham Steel has built this pan with an aluminum core that is coated using Ti-ceramic. The core enables swift heating and distributes the warmth to the entire surface uniformly. The non-stick coating is free from PTHE, PFOA and PFOS toxins, making the cooking surface safe for cooking on. Stainless steel is used on the handle making it cool to hold when cooking. The pan supports food prep using the oven for up to 500 degrees Fahrenheit, and on all common stoves apart from induction heaters.

Usability:

Our team loved to cooking surface on this pan for its ease of use. Great food release on the interior compliments the light weight of the pan, allowing effortless cooking and cleaning. The non-stick coating is not like the common ceramic available on other pans. Gotham steel uses advanced ceramic reinforced with titanium to cover the cooking surface, resulting in a durable and efficient non- stick surface.

We noted a few user comments that expressed disappointment about this pan. One dominant cause of the dissenting opinions was the lack of an additional plate to help the pan cook on induction heaters.

We recommend that the pan is purchased by buyers who cook on the other common heat sources. Cooks who use induction heaters should consider other pans, that have a magnetic base, made by Gotham Steel.

Cleaning:

We endorse cleaning of this pan using handwashing, soap, and a soft, non-abrasive sponge. You will find that you don't have much food leftovers on the cooking surface and that placing the pan submerged in water for a few minutes in the sink softens most of the leftovers. Dishwasher cleaning is known to damage non-stick surfaces. We, therefore, advise that you avoid tossing this pan in the dishwasher.

The combined weight of the pan and additional utensils is 5.05 pounds.

The deep pan has a body with an aluminum core. The aluminum body heats up rapidly and transfers heat to all parts of the pan, including the side walls. The steamer insert and frying basket are made of stainless steel while the covering lid is made of tempered glass.

Usability:

The shape and deep cooking surface of this pan allows it be used for multiple cooking methods. It will enable the cook to fry, bake, broil, sauté, steam, braise, and more. We particularly loved the covering lid that is made of tempered glass because it allows the cook to monitor food contents inside the pan without removing it.

The top edge allows precise and non-drip pouring due to the two pouring spouts etched opposite each other. We noticed the convenience this gives cooks when they are plating food. Pouring hot soup out of the pan was one of the things we enjoyed most. Unlike other pans that come with a flat edge, this pan pours precisely and does not drip.

Cleaning:

We advise the owners of this pan to clean it by handwashing with warm water, soap, and a soft cleaning sponge. Although the manufacturer labels it as safe for dishwasher cleaning, we have noticed that handwashing non-stick cookware is better because it ensures they last longer in proper working condition.

The stainless steel plate attached at the bottom is compatible with induction heaters, thus allowing the pan to cook on all available stoves in the kitchen.

Usability:

We loved the square shape of this pan because it provides the cook with a larger cooking surface as compared to circular pans of the same size. The 25% difference allows preparing more food and allows multiple cooking techniques. Cooks can braise, fry, steam, and boil with great ease when using this square pan.

Few users who like covering the food they cook have voiced their disappointment with this pan. The square shape does not fit lids from other similar sized pans and since it is sold without a lid, they have a hard time trying to cover the pan with a large round lid. Other than that, many cooks say they are impressed with cooking experience using this square pan.

Cleaning:

The cooking surface can be cleaned by handwashing. We noticed that the surface cooks food with little oil, which leaves very little traces of grease to be cleaned up after cooking. Scraps of food that might be hard to get off the surface can be softened by soaking the pan in water before handwashing it.

Gotham Steel Ceramic Nonstick Square Pan Set

Design:

This is a three piece set of shallow square shaped pans measuring 8, 10, and 12 inches wide. All the pans come with a bright brown interior and a similar colored exterior. They also have polished handles attached to the side using two rivets. The interior is four inches deep while the weight of all the pans is 4 pounds.

Materials:

All the pans have an aluminum body core. The aluminum allows the body to heat up fast and spread the heat to all parts of the cooking surface. Unique non-stick tech only available on Gotham Steel utensils has been used to cover the cooking surface. It combines ceramic and titanium to attain a non-stick surface that is durable and efficient for releasing food. The aluminum body can only be used on gas stoves, electric heaters, and ceramic heat sources.

Usability:

The shallow cooking surface on these pans is a thing any cook who wants to spend less time waiting for the pan to heat up will love. The thin body aids the heat up with an aluminum core that heats up uniformly and without hotspots.

The square shape is convenient when cooking with the pan. It avails more cooking space to cook and occupies less space on the storage shelf.

Cooks say the non-stick cooking surface on Gotham Steel cookware compares to no other utensils. It offers effective food release and cleans effortlessly. They recommend using non-abrasive cooking utensils like wooden cooking spoons to preserve it.

Cleaning:

Our experience in caring for non-stick utensils has enlightened us about the effects of tossing utensils in the dishwasher for cleaning. We recommend hand washing all non-stick utensils, including these shallow pans. Metal utensils also tend to damage non-stick surfaces. We advise that cooks adopt the use of non-abrasive cooking utensils, such as wooden or silicone spoons.
