I live in a basement apartment in my son's house so of course there is no stove or oven. I have an Oster hot plate 900w that barely boils water...not knowing they come with different wattages. Then got a Cusimax with 1500w. I didn't buy an induction one because I wanted to be able to use any pan I have and my SS aren't magnetic...so from what you said they won't work. I guess what I'm getting at is a video on hot plates might be nice. A non-warping non-stick pan like the Ninja is now on my wish list!
I bought the same pan to try out a few months ago, and I really like it. I’m not crazy about the price but ❤️ Ninja quality. Thanks for putting it to the test. The fluttery egg was impressive 😂 But that steak… 😋😋😋
After months of studying a lot of options in the market I gave myself a chance to buy the whole set of this ninja foodie ….I love them and I plan to buy another set for the future 🤣 because good pans are in extinction. However be careful because are different quality. Be sure you got the right one in other way…the expensive ones😕
I would really like to see how it performs on a gas stove. I've cooked with gas and electric and no matter the cook ware they perform drastically different. If you get a chance to try it on a gas stove please share results with us. I'm interested in the pan especially knowing it's free of all those nasty chemicals most non stick have.
If you are cooking without fat, I can definitely say eggs should be at room temp. If you are cooking with butter or any fat, it doesn't make a difference.
Great review Steve. Thank you for not doing the silly things like using a hand mixer. The idea of standard cooking application tests suits me fine. I would like to second the notion of a revisit review after you've used it a while. Also maybe your thoughts on oven use too.
It's great that the plan tested so well! But, the real test will be how they last over time and how easy the surface gets damaged over time. Glad it worked out so well. I have one non stick pan that has some minor scratches and doesn't work so well any more. I'll likely get the ninja pan to replace it!
I bought Rachel Ray's induction set. The largest of her pans warped when I set my induction plate on high. I like that you took this one to 500 for the sear test.
I was sold on the cheese test. I love to melt cheese then roll an all beef hotdog or sausage around it. Chop some onions and jalapeno up and toss in the cheese. Then I don't even need a hotdog bun.
As a Southern gal, it’s in my blood to use cast iron skillets. However, I did get one of those copper pans years ago that sorta is non stick. This, however, seems better so I might get one. Personally, though, I’m eyeing the Ninja Foodi air frier-instant pressure cooker.
I would wait to buy more of them and use it for about 3 months. I have tried 3 different brands of non stick without oil and not only lost their non stick without oil but food also sticks with oil. Would like to know if this pan does the same.
That's been done so many times in the keto world. I'll admit, I was doing it years ago, pre-keto, just because I love burnt cheese (or overcooked cheese) so much.
Great review, but I also agree with a couple of the other commentaries that I’d like to see a revisit in about 3 to 5 months to see how well the nonstick syrface has held up. I’ve read some pretty dicey reviews on Amazon pertaining to this pan that when they first got it it was great but then they updated it six months later saying that it wasn’t great anymore, and I trust your reviews more than some new neighbors from Amazon. Thanks Steve
@@LeanBodyMind Awesome and my apologies for my awful speak to text phrasing up top. I'm pretty sure I don't have any new neighbors on Amazon (supposed to say "no namers from Amazon" LOL
Thanks for this review, Steve! Quick question regarding the handle, does it not get hot while cooking? I didn't notice you using any pot holder. I'm going to visit the site via your link and check this line of cookware out. Momma needs some new pans! I'm already a fan of Ninja. Thanks again.
Hi Steve! I own this pan. I LOVE IT! I’m a horrible cook, usually having to cook in a hurry for my always hungry family. Its a tough pan and has never let me down. I plan on buying the entire set once I can afford it.
Steve, one of the best Ninja product videos available! I have had these pans for several months, and there have been no issues. I don’t use metal cook utensils only because I already had eliminated them long ago in my kitchen. However, you can’t use knives but metal spoons and forks are fine. Also there are grades of these pans. I got two pans at higher grade. Best pans I have ever used. Loving the new channel!
I have been using my pans for about one year. I have three pans, small, medium and large. I still love them. I always hand wash and I'm careful not to scratch them. I don't mind the care I give them as they aren't cheap. I want them to last. It really is non stick and because of that they clean up easily. I highly recommend them.
I love my Ninja Foodi blender/food processor. Had an older Ninja blender that came with 3 different sized blending containers, and it lasted many, many years. I wanted the convenience of a food processor /blender all in one, so I upgraded. With 1400 watts of power, it is a powerful tool! Glad to hear that Ninja Foodi is living up to its good name again with this nonstick pan! 😊 Thx Steve!
Have tfaul nonstick with cover and use it in the oven or Stove tops and never sticks .lifetime guarantee Love it .10 inch is nice size Saw those in wal mart .
I didn't even notice until you mentioned it. I've subsequently purchased 4 other Ninja pans and all are perfectly round. Incidentally, this 10 inch pan wound up being "lost in transit" from Amazon for several days. Not sure if something could have happened to it during that period... Anyhow, thanks for the catch. I just put in an exchange for a new one through Amazon.
@@LeanBodyMind Np and not weighing in on the quaity of production or the pan as even the best makes a bad once in a while if that was the case. The delivery is probably the culprit.
I LOVE my Ninja Foodi NeverStick pots and pans. I have a complete set and nothing sticks to them. I can use them on the stove or in the oven. Really great cookware
@@cyhomer I’ve had my set for 6 months now and I haven’t noticed any doom. I use them every day. I got the 12 piece premium set (the same style Steve uses in the video) and I use them all regularly and haven’t had any problems. I use them on the stove and in the oven.
Hi Steve! I had the amazing opportunity to test and review their 10 piece pot and pan set last year. I love my Ninja pots and pans! They are still doing well, but I also baby them with square pads that I cut from the Rubbermaid shelf liner rolls and place in-between each pan or pot. However, I do have to say that if you ever buy them with matching lids, make sure to use a pot holder to remove a lid, as the handles do get very hot when on the stovetop even for a short simmer time.
Thanks for these great tests and review. It’s been 2 years. Are you still happy with them? I have to get rid of my non stick pans and I’m looking. Thanks Steve.😊
They've held up well, though all 4 that I have suffer from what I consider to be a design flaw: the center of the pan is slightly higher than the perimeter, so everything runs to the sides. Not a good thing for fried eggs.
I watched this video a few weeks ago & am returning to thank you. I had been in the market for some new nonstick frying pans as my very expensive famous name brand stainless steel 8" omelet pan's nonstick coating is beginning to flake. I'd never even heard of the Ninja Foodi NeverStick pans, but because of this review I ordered the 10" & 8" stainless set from Amazon. They arrived 2days ago & they are fantastic. Aside from the weight, which I hadn't expected (I would liken their weight to cast iron perhaps). I love my cast iron so that's okay & at least these are dishwasher safe... Thanks, as always...
I wouldn't say they are as heavy as cast iron, but they certainly seem very well put together. I really love the quality of the handles too. I'm glad you're liking them. Ours get used daily.
First, love your new channel! Secondly, I am in the process of trying to find new cookware and this video was a huge help! I am also a big lover of ninja products, so will be adding this cookware to my collection. Thanks again!
Great review and thank you for including the link to the IR thermometer. Have had it in my Amazon cart since I saw you use it a while back. Time to get it now.
Visually, it appears rough (like unseasoned cast iron), but it's pretty smooth to the touch. The surface texture reminds me of something close to a "finishing" emery board.
Compared to ceramic?? Do you have experience with ceramic? I do not. I want to investigate as housewarming gifts for my new adult children. (Already all over cast iron. Forever gift!)
Thanks, good honest review as always. Burnt fried cheese, H yes! 1 Observation on camera. You may try a dark or black plate, the camera washes out the food on my 10" tablet screen so I switched to my 17" laptop same thing. White egg, white plate, where's the food? :) Even other food will look FAB with a dark background. M2C
It’s held up well, though all 4 that I have suffer from what I consider to be a design flaw: the center of the pan is slightly higher than the perimeter, so everything runs to the sides. Not a good thing for fried eggs.
Hey Steve just re watching this video recently because I'm trying to decide between the ninja, or the Kirkland brand non stick. Is this the premium pan that you tested?
The Ninja premium are fantastic. We've been using them daily since I got them and they look and perform the same as the day I recorded this video. I would be interested in trying out Hexclad, but I don't regret the Ninja purchase for a minute.
Link me to where they EXPLICITLY say that. I'd be curious to know how, exactly, I "screwed up". What's the difference between olive oil out of a bottle and compressed olive oil?
I've had my ninja pans for about 20 months now and they are as good as they were when they were new. Not a single mark or scratch and they are still non stick. The only thing is I never put them in the dishwasher so even though they say they are dishwasher safe I don't know if that would affect anything. I would be curious to know if you put yours in the dishwasher
All non-stick pans will be great initially, even the cheap ones. The real test is after 6 months of heavy use will they still provide that same non-stick ability when first used. I have had the hexclad for two years and they are okay, but not the same as when they were new
Just curious if you put your steaks on basically straight from the fridge, or let them sit out a bit first. Also, have you used this to sear sous vide steaks, yet? I just went to America’s Test Kitchen (ATK) to see if this is reviewed. It is not. I had gotten the OXO 12” based on ATK recommendation, but it arrived bent/out of round. I may now get this one instead when I return the OXO. Thanks!
Sounds like the price is comparable to the Calphalon nonstick that I normally buy. I’m thinking I’ll try the Ninja pan the next time I need to replace one of my Calphalons. Thanks, Steve!
I used to buy Calphalon, but (at least then) they weren’t induction compatible. So I got the Kirkland brand from Costco and they scratched up pretty easily. I have high hopes for the Ninja stuff based on my experience so far.
After paying top dollar years ago for another brand (not sure I can name it, starts with a C) and being so disillusioned, I’ve started buying a few cheap pans a year but never being happy with their performance. I know what I’m getting now!! Thanks so much for the review 👍🏻
Great video Steve. I got a question not a test - how long do you think you have to heat the pan before it is evenly heated, also I am assuming like other nonstick it does not require any seasoning right? Thanks again for the awesome review love your videos!
It doesn't require seasoning. I think how long it takes to get it evenly heated will depend on the heat source and temperature you're shooting for. It heats up VERY fast on an induction plate. I would expect the same for gas. I think on electric or glasstop, it would take a bit longer, but when it gets to temp that it would be more even. That's just my hypothesis, though.
Should I have to take the pans temp plus the egg? I want to whip out a good fry pan and cook an egg. Not sure I would buy it for the dry non stick reason. Thank you testing this pan
I test the temp on a pan/skillet any time I'm doing eggs or steak, because I care about the impact of the temp on the finished product. My personal preference is to cook with some sort of oil or butter at a lower temp on eggs (270-280F) because I like them delicate. With steak, I'll likely stick with cast iron, just because I like to sear at around 700F if I cooked the steaks sous vide. That way I can get a crusty sear without over cooking the interior. If I weren't finishing a sous vide steak, but rather cooking as I did in this video, the Ninja does a very good job at 500F.
Too bad there's not a way to poll viewers for which pans they want to see you review, "vote with your dollars"-style. I would pitch in to see you review Blue Diamond.
Love my cast iron and gave up all others years ago. This was completely fascinating but not enough for me to deviate. I am somewhat distracted with the empty space in your wine rack. :)
Thank you for giving a real-world test! I'm tired of watching people miss-use brand new pans with something like sandpaper or an electric beater, something I would not do, and then telling me they're just ok pans because they now stick after they damaged them. What you did is just what I needed.
I bought the baby hexclad skillet and I have yet to get a nice scrambled egg. You have to cook eggs at very low temp and they will stick if you use butter, but not if you use pam. For such expensive cookware, I am not impressed. It cooked meat better than it did the eggs.
I love your reviews Steve!! Please do a F/U after more use. It seems any non stick pan I was first delighted with, degraded with use. Love my cast iron!
Thank you Steve. Can you use that pan on regular cooktop or is it just for induction cooktops? I have two granddaughters living in dorms and the induction cooktop would be ideal for me.
If you do a series of these pan reviews, I would love to see what you think of Blue Diamond cookware. It is very high heat-safe - like, up to 850°F! - AND metal utensil-safe. Next time I change over my skillets, it'll be for those.
Only so much money in my review budget and only so much space in my cupboards. Maybe one day, if I have more of both, I can do different brands of cookware. 😉
@@jujube2407 aren't they awesome‽‽ I love that they can get a great sear and still wipe right clean. I just got the 12" deep saute pan and lid for my mama cuz I'm going up to see her soon and she only had the 9½" skillets.
I lovePeet’s major Dickinsons coffee. It’s smooth dark and bold and I use the French press. However for many years now I’ve been intrigued by the Nespresso machine because I also love Americanos. If you ever have interest in trying it espresso machine I would love to see an honest review and how that stands up against the dark roast coffee. Thanks for your review today Steve!
Oh my that all looked like fun. Especially the steak! I would like to see a review on durability after you have used it awhile.

@@LeanBodyMind awesome thank you Steve!
Would you suggest that all foods be room temp to avoid sticking?
If you are cooking without fat, I can definitely say eggs should be at room temp. If you are cooking with butter or any fat, it doesn't make a difference.
I have a propane gas stove. How would that do compared to an induction stove?
They say it works with gas.
@@LeanBodyMind Good to know.

Hey Steve just re watching this video recently because I'm trying to decide between the ninja, or the Kirkland brand non stick. Is this the premium pan that you tested?
The Ninja premium are fantastic. We've been using them daily since I got them and they look and perform the same as the day I recorded this video. I would be interested in trying out Hexclad, but I don't regret the Ninja purchase for a minute.
That's where you screwed up. @ 6:15. They explicitly say, never use cooking spray in your pans.

I’ll do a six month follow up.

Looks awesome! I have a ninja food processor set from years ago that works well still, I use the immersion blender often.
Oh my goodness, I need to buy one of these pans.. if for nothing else the cheese! I love burnt cheese! No other pan seems to be able to do that!

👋👋👋👋 Good morning!
awesome... thanks Steve :)
After paying top dollar years ago for another brand (not sure I can name it, starts with a C) and being so disillusioned, I’ve started buying a few cheap pans a year but never being happy with their performance. I know what I’m getting now!! Thanks so much for the review 👍🏻
Check out Blue Diamond, too - I'm way too excited about these things.
I love burned cheese too
Great video Steve. I got a question not a test - how long do you think you have to heat the pan before it is evenly heated, also I am assuming like other nonstick it does not require any seasoning right? Thanks again for the awesome review love your videos!
It doesn't require seasoning. I think how long it takes to get it evenly heated will depend on the heat source and temperature you're shooting for. It heats up VERY fast on an induction plate. I would expect the same for gas. I think on electric or glasstop, it would take a bit longer, but when it gets to temp that it would be more even. That's just my hypothesis, though.
Love the experiment.
Should I have to take the pans temp plus the egg? I want to whip out a good fry pan and cook an egg. Not sure I would buy it for the dry non stick reason. Thank you testing this pan
I test the temp on a pan/skillet any time I'm doing eggs or steak, because I care about the impact of the temp on the finished product. My personal preference is to cook with some sort of oil or butter at a lower temp on eggs (270-280F) because I like them delicate.
With steak, I'll likely stick with cast iron, just because I like to sear at around 700F if I cooked the steaks sous vide. That way I can get a crusty sear without over cooking the interior. If I weren't finishing a sous vide steak, but rather cooking as I did in this video, the Ninja does a very good job at 500F.
@@LeanBodyMind thank you again. I will be adding this to my arsenal
Thanks Steve 😊🙏
Oh, may need to put that on my Christmas list. I love Ninja. I insist that we take the Foodi with us on vacation because it is so versatile.
Ninja is one of the few companies I'd be willing to actually promo on my channel
Too bad there's not a way to poll viewers for which pans they want to see you review, "vote with your dollars"-style. I would pitch in to see you review Blue Diamond.
Love my cast iron and gave up all others years ago. This was completely fascinating but not enough for me to deviate. I am somewhat distracted with the empty space in your wine rack. :)
Where is it made?
I'll give you one guess. Where is everything made?
As long as we accept that, yes.
Thank you for giving a real-world test! I'm tired of watching people miss-use brand new pans with something like sandpaper or an electric beater, something I would not do, and then telling me they're just ok pans because they now stick after they damaged them. What you did is just what I needed.
Glad I could help. It's been a few months and they are still in tip top shape / performance
I’m also a Ninja fan. It seems like a great pan! How much?

Depends on the pan. I link to them in the description.
This is exactly how my pampered chef nonstick pans behave. I’d wager they use a similar coating/process to make these.
I've not used the Pampered Chef ones, so I can't answer that.
I bought the baby hexclad skillet and I have yet to get a nice scrambled egg. You have to cook eggs at very low temp and they will stick if you use butter, but not if you use pam. For such expensive cookware, I am not impressed. It cooked meat better than it did the eggs.
The scrambled eggs I did in the Ninja cooked up beautifully without oil, butter or spray. I’d still use butter though, because butter is wonderful.
Everytime I order a nonstick pan online, they always seem to come slightly dented.
I got mine from Amazon and no dents/bends
I love your reviews Steve!! Please do a F/U after more use. It seems any non stick pan I was first delighted with, degraded with use. Love my cast iron!
Will do!
Does that pan come with a lid and if so, would it be possible to deep fry in that pan?
Not the 10”. They have different bundles. Some include lids.
Thank you Steve. Can you use that pan on regular cooktop or is it just for induction cooktops? I have two granddaughters living in dorms and the induction cooktop would be ideal for me.
According to Ninja, it works with gas, electric, glass stovetops, and induction.
@@LeanBodyMind thank you Steve
If you do a series of these pan reviews, I would love to see what you think of Blue Diamond cookware. It is very high heat-safe - like, up to 850°F! - AND metal utensil-safe. Next time I change over my skillets, it'll be for those.
Only so much money in my review budget and only so much space in my cupboards. Maybe one day, if I have more of both, I can do different brands of cookware. 😉
@@LeanBodyMind they make a tiny egg pan for less than 15... I have it...and then got a whole set at Christmas for like 43.00 I love my set!
@@jujube2407 aren't they awesome‽‽ I love that they can get a great sear and still wipe right clean. I just got the 12" deep saute pan and lid for my mama cuz I'm going up to see her soon and she only had the 9½" skillets.
I lovePeet’s major Dickinsons coffee. It’s smooth dark and bold and I use the French press.
However for many years now I’ve been intrigued by the Nespresso machine because I also love Americanos.
If you ever have interest in trying it espresso machine I would love to see an honest review and how that stands up against the dark roast coffee.
Thanks for your review today Steve!
I’m probably not interested in that. Sorry.
James Hoffmann recently did a bit on Nespresso, really gets into how it works.
@@sharvo6 thanks!
Ha! cheese why come off any pan because so much oil comes off. You can season a cast iron with it.
