Elegant yet practical – the Gotham Steel hammered collection is beautiful and makes a statement in every kitchen, yet nonstick, lightweight, scratch resistant and dishwasher safe! Ultra nonstick – the award winning ti-cerama coating ensures the ultimate easy release — everything just slides right off the pan, No need for oil or butter – Ever. The Hammered Copper collection is dishwasher safe, non-toxic, oven safe up to 500, compatible with all heat sources, including induction burners. The hammered copper is actually aluminum, while the cooking surface is titanium and ceramic. Consider what kinds of cooking you do most often and ensure that the set includes the sizes of pots and pans you need. Keep in mind that nonstick cookware is not ideal for searing or browning.
The interiors are made from titanium and ceramic, and in some cases, are infused with diamonds and/or granite. Use it in the oven up to 500° with out solid stainless steel handle. Use it in the oven up to 500° with our solid stainless steel handle. With the encapsulated base, the Hammered Copper cookware performs Cookware Sets similarly to the Pro Anodized line. This makes sense because the encapsulated base increases the aluminum content, so you can expect better performance, although still not stellar. In testing we had some hot and cold spots and the pans dropped in temperature significantly when we added cold food to the pans .
When all you need is the basics, this is a great set. These pots and pans are the workhorses of any kitchen. About 95% of the meals people make at home will be with some version of this set. ULTIMATE CERAMIC NONSTICK – the Gotham Steel nonstick cooking surface is coated three times and then reinforced with diamonds to deliver… Even though there are some issues with Gotham Steel Cookware’s performance, the price is hard to beat. It’s a great starting point for any budding home chef or a housewarming gift for a person needing their first cookware set.
The slim body profile also means that it won’t retain the heat necessary for even cooking. The nonstick performance is what you would expect from any middle-of-the-road cookware brand. Out of the box, it works great, Cookware Sets but the nonstick properties become less and less apparent over time. The chemicals in the spray will build up on the cooking surface, making it difficult to remove, and it also degrades the nonstick coating.
Our testing resulted in a well-rounded evaluation of each product. Our pots and pans were used pretty heavily in our test kitchen — but only for a few weeks. You’d never whisk eggs in a non-stick pan, but with Gotham™ Steel you can! Burnt cheese is a frying pan disaster, not to Gotham™ Steel.
And, remember the Arbitration Agreement we talked about above–a decent indication that this pan may not work as advertised. Pay careful attention to the sizes of the set pieces as they are often on the small side, especially with inexpensive brands like Gotham Steel. For these reasons, we don’t spend a lot of time looking at Gotham Steel set options in this review. We do provide links, though, so you can check out the options for yourself. We cooked about 2 dozen eggs, and we noticed that even with butter, the eggs were sticking to the pan worse at the end than at the beginning. Scrambled eggs fared better, but there was some residue in the pan after cooking; they didnotslide out like you see on the infomercial.
