Buying Guide
FAQs
What should I look for when choosing a Gotham Steel pan size?
Consider the typical amount of food you cook and the number of servings you need; a 12.5‑inch pan offers a larger surface for family meals, while an 8‑inch pan is ideal for quick breakfasts or side dishes. Larger pans also provide more room for stirring without spillage, but they require more storage space. Match the pan diameter to your stovetop burners to ensure even heating.
Are Gotham Steel nonstick coatings safe for health?
All Gotham Steel cookware is PFOA, PFOS, lead, and cadmium‑free, using a ceramic‑based coating reinforced with diamond particles for durability. The coating is derived from minerals and does not release harmful chemicals, even at high temperatures. This makes the pans a healthy choice for low‑oil cooking.
Can I use metal utensils with these pans?
Yes. The nonstick surface is infused with synthetic diamonds, the hardest material on earth, which allows the use of metal spatulas, spoons, and whisks without scratching. This durability is consistent across the stackable sets, single fry pans, and hammered copper models.
How do the stackable sets compare to individual pans in terms of value?
Stackable sets provide a complete range of cookware—multiple fry pans, saucepans, and a stock pot—at a lower per‑piece cost than buying each item separately. They also save up to 30% cabinet space thanks to the nesting design. If you need a full kitchen outfitting, the set offers the best overall value.
Is Gotham Steel cookware compatible with induction cooktops?
Most Gotham Steel pans, including the hammered copper and hard‑anodized series, are induction‑compatible because they have a magnetic stainless‑steel base. However, always check the product description for the specific model, as a few older aluminum‑only pieces may not work on induction.
What are the cleaning and maintenance tips for these pans?
All Gotham Steel cookware is dishwasher safe, but hand‑washing with a soft sponge prolongs the life of the nonstick coating. Avoid abrasive cleaners and high‑heat cooking without oil, as extreme temperatures can degrade the ceramic surface over time. After washing, dry the pans thoroughly to prevent water spots.
Do the pans perform well in the oven?
Yes. Most models, such as the 12.5‑inch frying pan and the 14‑inch hammered copper skillet, are oven‑safe up to 500°F, allowing you to finish dishes or bake casseroles directly in the pan. Always verify the lid material; tempered glass lids are also oven‑safe within the same temperature range.
How does the heat distribution differ between the aluminum and copper‑finished pans?
Aluminum‑based pans provide rapid, even heat spread with no hot spots, which is ideal for everyday sautéing and frying. Copper‑finished pans add a stylish exterior and slightly better heat conductivity, but both use a spiralized aluminum core for uniform heating. Choose based on aesthetic preference and whether you need the extra visual appeal of hammered copper.
