Now a stay-at-home dad, William has brought his passion for professional cooking home, where he continues to cook and bake for his wife and daughter. If you’re ok getting one or two years out of an inexpensive product, then there’s nothing wrong with the Gotham Steel pan. As far as investing in an entire set, I gotham steel cookware sets would recommend a test run first. If considering a set of this size it would be a good idea to test drive one of their pans first. That will give a good idea of the set’s performance before making a commitment to such a large number of pieces. The fry pan is a good size that will perform a variety of tasks well.
The handle is comfortable to hold and comes with a removable silicone sheath. The 10-inch pan’s surface is the perfect size for cooking a three-egg omelet, and its flared sides are well angled, for easy flipping. We also like that this pan is available in four sizes to accommodate different cooking needs. Just as with traditional skillets, nonstick pans with flared sides perform the best.
Switch titanium with diamonds and you are basically back to Gotham Steel. Blue Diamond brand cookware falls into the same entry level or budget category as Gotham Steel. There are a lot of similarities when you look at the ceramic nonstick cookware that each brand makes. Teflon pans are generally more durable and nonstick than ceramic cookware. On the other hand they also contain chemicals that are potentially dangerous to our health and environment.
By comparison, the Anolon Advanced pan showed the most extreme browning and got very hot when we placed it over the same heat setting. When we first tested nonstick pans, in 2016, we conducted a full battery of tests that included making French omelets, fried eggs over easy, seared tilapia fillets, hash browns, and crepes. In the Cookware Sets process, we realized the tests had a lot of redundancy. For example, searing delicate tilapia didn’t show us anything different than frying eggs over easy did. And crepes exhibited the same browning pattern as hash browns. A 20 piece cook and bakeware set that offers a huge range of pieces, and is called the “kitchen in a box”.
All the bakeware pieces are nonstick, so clean-up should be effortless—no baked-on mess. Gotham Steel looks a lot like the popular brand Red Copper, but they have no affiliation. There is a lot of debate online as to which is better, but it appears that they are the same in performance and quality. The only real difference is the material; Gotham Steel is made with titanium, and Red Copper is made with copper. For the largest-volume pots and pans, the affordable T-Fal All-In-One 12-Piece Nonstick Cookware Set and the higher-end Anolon SmartStack 11-Piece Cookware Set are worth a look.
