But don’t expect them to last, and don’t expect them to work without cooking oil. With the Fakespot grade “D” and the adjusted rating coming in at just 1.5 stars, these have the poorest rating of all the Gotham Steel lines. We like the shapes of the pans, the handles, and the helper handle found on the larger skillet. We like the round handles on these–better than the flat ones on the Original and Stackmaster lines, though both styles fit the hand comfortably and are great for stabilizing.

Again, I’m not surprised by these results; thin cookware heats fast but doesn’t absorb and retain heat as well as thicker cookware. After recording the results of the heat conduction test, I removed the pan from the heat and set it on the counter. Most lids have slightly domed glass, although the Stackmaster Collection is designed with flat glass to make it more stackable. Even though the pan is lightweight, the thin handle makes it uncomfortable to hold. Plus, the handle gets extremely hot when using it on a stove.

However, this site has a reputation for long lead times on shipping, sometimes several weeks. And if you want to return a pan to the Gotham Steel store, you will be charged return shipping and handling. What people consider a good value will vary, but we think that with nonstick cookware, you should Cookware Sets buy cheap–but not too cheap. For inexpensive cookware, Gotham Steel has a number of nice qualities, so much so that it looks like it’s more expensive than it is. It’s one of the best brands you can find at this price point. However, don’t expect stellar performance or durability from this brand.

This polymer gives non-stick cookware its slick quality. But when used at temperatures Cookware Sets above 500°F (260°C), PTFE can release fumes that are lethal to birds and give humans flu-like symptoms. However, if you want lightweight pieces that you don’t mind parting with after a few years of good use, these pans are a much better option.

The Symmetry cookware also outperformed all the others we tested in terms of temperature consistency across the surface. Often, food will cook at a different pace because the temperature of the pan varies at different spots of the cooking surface. But the cooking surface of the Circulon line maintains a remarkably even temperature. First we fried an egg in the smaller skillet of each set; then we scrambled an egg in the same pan. The fried eggs were extremely easy to remove from each of the six pans. However, we found that when scrambling eggs, those pans with a textured surface often collected food particles in the grooves and dimples.

Rather, they import Gotham Steel pans from China and sell them in the U.S. market. There’s not any universal out there which satisfies your requirements. Every steel pan by Gotham includes its own dimensions, and thickness and one to buy depends on what you cook and your cooking requirements.

The exterior of the Gotham Steel Original fry pan is constructed from aluminum. It has a gray hue, which provides a nice contrast against the copper-colored interior. Gotham Steel features six collections, and designs range from hard-anodized aluminum to polished stainless exteriors. In fact, it was a very close competition between the Anolon and Circulon, as both were hard to distinguish in “nonstickablility” and user experience. In the end, the Anolon trailed the Circulon set in both heating variance and time to reach 500 °F, leading it to become our runner up. The pots and pans feel good, look great, and are easy to wash.
