Gotham Steel 10-Piece Kitchen Nonstick Frying Pan and Cookware Set

I was skeptical due to reading so many negative reviews, but I really wanted to give ceramic pots and pans a try after reading about the potential dangers of PTFE and Teflon non-stick coatings. A family member of mine has ceramic pots and pans and I detested them: every time I tried to use them I needed to use so much more oil than I ever would prefer, and things often usually stuck anyway and were very hard to clean off. But I read that ceramic pots and pans just require different care and cooking methods, e.g. cooking on lower temperatures and not using scratchy cleaning materials. And for the price point of around $100 for a fairly complete set, I decided to go for it. So far, I adore these pots and pans! My fiancé and I have been using them daily for the past week and so far the nonstick factor is working just the way its advertised. I'm finding that they heat up faster and keep the heat better than cookware I'm more accustomed to, and I never have to turn the heat up past med-high. Usually medium works just fine. I haven't used *any* oil or butter in my cooking so far with no issues whatsoever. One issue is that one of the handles came pretty badly scratched, as you can see in the attached photo (sorry for the poor photo quality). And the largest skillet isn't quite as large as I would want, though I'm able to cook a standard sized tofu scramble pretty easily as long as I'm careful (one block of tofu, peppers, onions). And the handles do indeed get very warm, sometimes too hot to touch, but I bought a pair of silicone oven (+ multipurpose) mitts for that purpose and now it's a non-issue. Otherwise these are excellent. I love the way they look and they cook wonderfully. I'm very, *very* happy we made the purchase! PROS: + Heats quickly, retains heat better (no need for higher than a little over medium heat) + Nonstick factor is better than traditional nonstick (imo) both in effect and health + Cleanup is a breeze + Heavy duty but lightweight + Beautiful CONS: - Largest skillet isn't as big as I'd like (can't use for multi-ingredient stirfries, for instance) and I'm not sure I'll use the smallest skillet as it's so small - Medium pot doesn't have a lid - Handles do get hot (just use holders) - Learning curve (but I picked adjusted to the new temperature requirements and cleaning style very quickly) OVERALL: 5★ Very pleased with purchase, especially at a $100 price point. These are the best pots and pans I've ever worked with. If you're willing to learn something new, give these a shot. As long as you do what you're supposed to (don't overheat them, don't use nonstick sprays, don't scrub with anything abrasive, don't poke around with anything but gentle utencils) ceramic is amazing and you'll fall in love. I'll try to remember to come back to update after several months' use, and if there are any issues I'll update for sure.

All'inizio ero entusiasta ma dopo neanche un anno mi sono ricreduta due padelle sono già finite nella spazzatura. No so se il rivestimento si sia rovinato o si sia tolto ma il cibo si attaccava irrimediabilmente. Anche lavarle era diventato impegnativo.

المقلاة. ليست مثل الوصف التصق الطعام بشكل كبير. سيئة. جدا. مخيبة. جدا
