Ninja Foodi NeverStick Premium Cookware - 6 Month Review Update

[@william38022]

I bought a big ninja skillet at Walmart and I like it and everything however the other day I fried an egg on low heat because that’s the only way I personally will cook an egg is low and slow with a little oil and I forgot to turn the burner off and what little bit of oil was left in the pan basically burned and chard took a little doing I was able to clean the pan out and it still releases you can still use it I guess how ever my concern is is it safe to use? Stick a bounty towel or two in between your cookware and they won’t scratch up

[@YourEverydayJoe]

As long as the coating is not peeling or damaged it should be ok. Otherwise, contact Shark/Ninja and they should replace it under the warranty.

[@john5389]

Good job with the review Joe! I got the 11 piece set from Walmart for 149 back in January. These have been great. So far, I think they are holding up better than everything I've tried the last 20 years or so. It does take a couple minutes more to heat the pans, but they cook really evenly. I really think they will last the 5 years. Impressed!

[@YourEverydayJoe]

These pans are definitely holding up better than any of the other "coated" pans I have tried.

[@arthurillig7012]

Thanks for your review. My name is Doc and I bought a set of these and have been using them for almost 2 years now. There isn’t a scuff mark on them. They clean up so easy it’s unbelievable. And I have tried many different kinds of pans. I’m with you. They are great pans. And I love them and highly recommend. Cooking is fun again.

[@YourEverydayJoe]

Thanks for the take on the product. Appreciate your comment. 😎👍

[@whatfreedom7]

Do you know if these are Teflon or something else? Just curious if it’s toxic or not.

[@YourEverydayJoe]

Thanks for the question. According to Ninja this cookware is PFOA-, PFAS-, cadmium- and lead-free. Hope that helps.

[@singing4fun]

I'm around 6 months also. Mine are holding up great. 1 minor scratch (my fault). Still mostly nonstick. The little bit of tack it does have gives you the ability to brown and crisp food nicely. Best thing, no flakes of Teflon!! I was so impressed with them, I bought a set for a relative as a gift, and they absolutely LOVE them too.... My ONLY complaint is that the hole in the handle (I have the premium version) doesn't fit any of the hooks I have. C'mon Ninja, you must have known ppl would want to hang these things up!!! How about a slightly relocated hole in the handle LOL.

[@harrysmith2089]

A six month review is a good test mark. Thank you for your review. Nicely done. I look forward to your 1 year review. Maybe then I will take the Ninja plunge. The many negative reviews I've seen have held me at bay up to now. Real life tests are far more valuable than clever marketing, which is largely deceptive and untrustworthy. I have been trying to find an America's Test Kitchen review on the Ninja nonstick. Again, thank you.

[@YourEverydayJoe]

Thank you. I'm also looking forward to doing a one year review. So far they seem to be holding up better than many other coated pans I've tried.

[@amandaramirez5109]

Is there going to be a big difference between the regular and premium ones?

[@YourEverydayJoe]

I think the main difference is in the quality of the materials used such as the coating and aluminum handles. Not sure how long each will last but I've been using the premium version for almost a year now and everything seems to be holding up very well.

[@joshread3740]

I have the Walmart (regular) versions. The aluminum base is a 3.3mm instead of the 4.5mm of the Premium, though 3.3mm is still pretty thick by nonstick pan standards. In addition, the handles are pressed and formed (hollow) stainless steel instead of die-cast like the Premium. Finally, the exterior is a black silicone polyester coating instead of the hard anodized coating. That's honestly the only real drawback to me; I don't like the exterior finish of these. Hard anodized looks far superior. That all being said, the regular editions are still fantastic pans. The best I've personally ever had, and the nonstick interior is identical.

[@patrickj7728]

Our Caliphon has problem: water "sitting" in the space between glass & metal rim. We wash and put it in our convection oven facing into the moving air stream. I assume any oven would work, just prefer the convctions built in air movement. We set to 200 degrees for 8 minutes, oven size/heating etc varies, find out what works for YOU so that the water does not remain/ "sit" get GREEN . Would think that the handles would determine maxi heat for your particular set. The "left over" water does/can/will generate a green area/mold(?) in ours. It's disgusting YES! if not dired/evaporated immediately!! THAT sitting water/green did not look at all pleasant and wanted to return them after 1st seeing it but our FIX is this, it's an extra step but worthwhile in my humble opinion. Not sure if that is the problem "Joe" is talking about/having (time: 3:52-) but should work for any lids that trap water, solves it every time! This was a Helpful/Realistic review and thanks for doing a follow up that's what matters to us/ over time surfaces condition!!

[@mrazdiamond]

I have the non-premium set since December and they have been working out fantastic. I wasn’t aware there was a premium version but these are working fine. However I have never used any metal utensils while cooking. I love your channel and keep up the great work.

[@YourEverydayJoe]

Thanks for the comment. God Bless!

[@johnruiz6743]

I have both, non-premium and premium. Can't tell the difference in the performance. The handles and finish on the outside seem to be the only differences.

[@bryantobias2790]

I just purchased the 12 inch frying pan, paid under $40 for it with coupons. I am not going to throw out my copper and stainless sauce pans, but all the other non stick crap is going to the recycle bin. This morning was the first absolutely perfect omelet that I have cooked in years. Last night was seared beef and shrimp fajitas. Every burnt scrap wiped away with a damp towel. ,

I bought the 10 piece set yesterday and started cooking right away and they’re amazing. I cooked up eggs sunny side up with no oil and they came out perfect and just slid out of the pan. Good stuff!

[@YourEverydayJoe]

Wonderful!

[@julieslone422]

I need help in cleaning the outside of my skillets. They have dark sticky stains on them after i fried some food. I cant get it off. Looks horrible. Any ideas?

[@rafaman927]

Are those compatible with magnetic induction?

[@YourEverydayJoe]

Yes, these pans work with induction cooktops.

[@alonzoakbar6760]

We love our set so far. Holding up well also. 👍🏾

[@gaylendelcambre7719]

To clean the little nasty space inside of the lid I simply use a stiff bristle artist’s paint brush (no.8 round) with a little dish soap. Works really well for me - I’m a germaphobe!

[@KittyLovesGlover]

lol, i use a toothbrush exclusively for cleaning stuff like that.

[@guysimpler9499]

Just bought the Premium set from Sam's for around $250. A little pricey considering that we probably won't use all of the items but here's something I hadn't seen in reviews: They are HEAVY !!! Just like g'moms cast iron. If you're not happy with super heavy pans, then think again about buying these things. I fried eggs this morning and everything was fine but that Greenpan hanging over my stove just might not get pitched. It does an excellent job and it's probably half the weight.

[@YourEverydayJoe]

Thanks. Appreciate your comment and support.

[@chuckmunch3627]

Just ordered these after my Calphalon set bit the dust. I think my dishwasher was a major contributor and I will hand wash this set only. Have you frequently used the dishwasher to clean them?

[@YourEverydayJoe]

Chuck, my apartment does not have a dishwasher hookup so I have only been washing by hand. They clean up very well and quickly so far.

[@mariabunch3541]

I’ve read you should always hand wash nonstick pans because even if they say “dishwasher safe“ it will still depend on what soap you are using. Some dishwasher soaps use harsh chemicals that are not safe for nonstick pans.

[@chuckmunch3627]

@@mariabunch3541 Thank you for that info Maria, I learned this the hard way. So far so good with the pans though. They are a really great set. I made a pot of Chilli mac... a really cheese rich dish and it melted beautifully and turned in the pot like it was water... really impressive set. The pans before these were Calphalon space savers... ruined by my ignorance 🙃. Good luck if you plan to buy!

[@BeefT-Sq]

Joe showed that the Ninja pan works well under normal cooking conditions and that is what matters . Other tests I see are unrealistic . I don't need to see how a pan does for burning marshmallows ----I need to know whether my eggs will stick and my steak sear evenly . I bought one of these and SFSG .

[@YourEverydayJoe]

@Beef2467 T-Sq2 Thanks for your comment. I will be releasing my 1 year update. Check it out.

[@ppineapple1380]

Thank you for the review! Exactly what I wanted to see how they are. I was about to buy Staub or Lecreuset enameled skillet then my husband watched commercial and he said he’s willing spend money on these. These cookware set looks great but my only question is.. does this skillet still do the same as enameled cast iron skillet. I know that’s what it’s described but do you think it works like Staub or Lecreuset?

[@YourEverydayJoe]

@ppineapple Glad it was helpful! Unfortunately I don't own either Staub or Le Creuset. These are cast iron which are much heavier and a thicker material. Such pans have much more even heat and can handle higher temperatures for searing. Ninja is "Premium" but Staub or Le Creuset are "Professional" brands. Sorry i could not provide more info.

[@jessygonzalez8340]

How do these compare to the GraniteStone Pro?

[@pitboss7476]

[@lylek8933]

Sam's club where I live have a good deal on a dual 10"/12" combo for $52. Almost bought them today. lol Not sure if they are the premium or not (likely not at that price). Still, I had to finally throw away my previous non-stick frying pan (over 8 years olf; abused the bejezus out of it, but never used metal utensils on it since it can't handle that. Looking for a replacement. Might bite the bullet and get the Ninja Foodi no stick. Have a Ninja Foodi Digital Air Fryer/Oven that I really like (bought it last April). Thanks for the 6th month review. Saw Freakin' Reviews video already, but it was for a new frying pan. What I like about this one is you can, if you so choose, use metal utensils. Also, the thick cladding means pancakes would come out great (one of the main reasons I have a frying pan is for pancakes). A plus is you can sear and go straight in the oven to finish things off as well. :)

[@YourEverydayJoe]

@Lyle K thanks for the comment great info.😎👍

[@joanngrey1299]

Hi Joe, I'm new to the Ninja Foodi Never Stick Premium Cookware. I cooked pork chops in my large pan and added some sauce near the end of the cooking. I placed the glass lid on the pan and after a minute or two I heard a cracking noise. I thought that the glass lid was cracking. However after I removed the lid I still heard the cracking noise coming from the pan. Do you have any idea what was happening?

[@YourEverydayJoe]

@Joann Grey Thanks for the question. I have also experienced the crackling sounds, I think this sound is the heat expansion of aluminum rivets against handle or the steal ring of the lid. The pan handle and the ring of the lid seem to be made of a different material than the rivets holding it in place. I have now been using the premium pans for about a year and have not seen any cracks or peeling yet. Hope that helped. 😊👍

[@kerripendergast5174]

I started looking into pan replacements as my complete set of Gotham Steel fry pans have disappointed me so much. They still LOOK fantastic - but forget doing any eggs on them or French toast - even with butter as they stick terribly. I do still use them for other things but not breakfast. After your first review, I decided to research and jump in to give this brand a try, and picked up the Ninja Foodi NeverStick 5qt Sauté Pan with Glass Lid. Honestly, my first take I was initially disappointed. I made French toast and was getting annoyed that the egg and bread appeared to be sticking...but I figured there was a learning curve compared to the Gotham Steel - and boy was I right. After the initial feeling things were sticking, I lifted the food to flip and to my surprise they were not stuck even at all - you just couldn't slide them around the pan! (like those infomercials have you believe!) I was impressed with it from then on - and clean up - wow, super easy. I don't use it nearly enough - but my next attempt will be from stove top to oven to see how it performs. I do love I can put everything in "one pot meal" style - it's definitely been a great investment compared to the Gotham Steel pans which seemed to be great to have eggs "swirling around" the fry pan - short term, but in reality the non-stick gimmick of them did not hold up over time. (As a side note, the Gotham Steel pasta drainer and the Square multi-use pans are still working great - but the frying pans feel useless to cook eggs on now.) TY for your honest reviews!

[@YourEverydayJoe]

Your welcome. Thank you for your informative comment.

[@mikeachenbach5519]

I purchased the complete set of this last November as a Christmas gift for my wife, so we didn't start using them until after Christmas, so about 6 months of use. They suck. The non-stick surface on one pot is bubbling and peeling off in the bottom of the pan. All the pots and pans that have lids have wear spots around the edge that has gone through the coating and shows bare silver metal. The 1st pan that started showing the silver they replaced. Now that the pot's non-stick is coming off and I called them they are refusing to replace the pot unless I pay $24.99 shipping fee for the replacement. I will NEVER buy anything Ninja again.

I keep looking at these, but that price is harsh. I'll keep watching videos and decide. So far you have been the only one positive on them that I've seen.

[@YourEverydayJoe]

Yes, the price is a bit steep for the set. I have also seen them sold separately at bed bath and beyond. I got my set there and used their 20% off coupon for it. Many of the reviewers that I have seen are not staying if they use the set daily or just review it. I have been using this set for about 6 months on a daily basis and aside from some minor nicks and dings they seem to be holding up well. Thanks for the comment.

I use this set on a glass top electric stove. And the bottom get alot more discoloring on the bottom. I only use these pots and pans. I have used metal in them. But i cant stand the scuffing noise. It just makes me feel like im damaging it. Ive tried to kill these pans and they have held up. Ive used them on my gas grill and in the oven. I dont store them on top of each other tho. They can get very hot and they hold the temp very well. With an electric stove thats very important. But my glass top dont like them. I would not recommend for a glass top. I pretty sure im going to crack my top. The stove is older at least 10 years.
