I just got this set as a gift (for myself with my spouse's blessing) and I have to say I am pretty impressed at the start. The pans have heft but not bulk. So I think they will work well on my electric stove and not shift around like my last set of pans did. I like the fit and finish of the product and the (unadvertised) feature of the lids fitting so that every piece of cookware could be covered - assuming you're not using a saucepan and skillet that could share a lid. A major factor for me in choosing this set was the PTFE/PFOA/PFOS-free surface. I was a bit hesitant to get an "as seen on TV" product but these are better (PTFE factor and feel, etc.) than several comparably priced popular brands I researched in stores. I really liked the way the items were packed and shipped. I thought it was interesting that the only branding is on the bottom of the pan; neither the pan handles nor the lids are stamped with the Gotham logo.
Two things I would like to point out on initial review: 1) the fry pans/skillets do not have rolled lips like the saucepans and stock pot. The lips are quite distinctly squared off. I believe this will create an issue when removing items from the pans. Also, I think this is a design problem and it should be remedied. This inconsistent element makes the products look like they are different lines. One of the reasons I decided to go with the set rather than different lines of pans/skillets was for the consistency of appearance. But the different edges are noticeable next to each other on the stovetop. 2) There is no option to purcahse additional sauce pans. It is possible to buy a two pack of skillets. Why not a similar option to purchase either individual items of the set, or a small set (e.g. 1.5 qt. & 2.5 qt. saucepans with lids)?
Also, as another reviewer mentioned, there is a bit of an upcurve on the base of the skillets in particular. This corresponds exactly with the branding mark. I think this is a manufacturing problem of either too much force with the logo placement or improper support during that phase. I think this will cause foods to slide to the edge and may be an issue. Given that this is still an improvement over what I was using, I will probably adapt. I'll try to remember to update my review.
Happy New Year and Bon Appetit!
