Default New non-stick pans


I bought a 2-piece set of non-stick pans by Gotham from Costco a
couple of weeks ago. Beautiful looking pans. The non-stick is
thrillling, plus non-stick exterior and non scratch. Super-duper for
eggs of any kind. Be careful you could easily make them zip right out
of the pan. It was $29 for a 10 inch and a 12 inch. Nicely weighted
pan, not heavy.
However. It is almost impossible to get anything to brown or crisp in
those pans. It's also difficult to turn stuff over. Pieces of food
just keep slipping away from attempts to flip anything.
My husband is happy because he doesn't have to spend a lot of time
trying to get gummy brown stuff off the bottoms of the pans. My old
non-stick are 20 years old and have become terrible at holding onto
meat proteins. I will probably have to go back to my cast iron for
anythng that needs browning.
I don't know if this problem applies to all of the new non-stick
surfaces,
My husband said he had heard about this issue on the TV.
