Ninja Kitchen is making a lot of crazy claims about this cookware! Does it live up to the hype? If you liked this video, you might like this Ninja Creami Deluxe Review video, too: • Ninja Creami DELUXE Fr...
Non-stick pans have always been a mixed bag. You have always got the convenience of having pans that were easier to clean, and easier to cook in, but the surface scratched easily, they couldn't go in the oven, non-stick sprays messed them up, they were no good in the dishwasher, and the worst part was that no matter how well you took care of them, the non-stick surface would still wear out within two years. Well you wait might be over. The Ninja Foodi NeverStick Premium pans tackle all of those problems and are even safe scrub aggresively, and even use metal utensils and forks in. This set promises to put an end to all your non-stick woes. Watch this video to find out if the Ninja Foodi NeverStick Premium 12-piece set lives up to the claims!

If you're intrigued by these pans, we have a video coming next week featuring the stainless version of them! You can see them in the background on the range.. oops! If you liked this video, you might like this Ninja Creami Deluxe Review video, too: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aJyvi2Oto9N6oMk

[@Bizzare77777]

Are there toxic chemicals on these pans? I noticed Ninja doesn't actually advertise that they are free of chemicals, so that makes me wonder.

[@JoesPhenomenal]

@Bizzare77777 Here goes what Ninja says about them "Our coating is oven safe to 500°F, free of PFOA, cadmium, and lead, plus metal-utensil and dishwasher safe. Ninja™ Foodi™ NeverStick™ Cookware will NEVER stick, chip, or flake." I still wouldn't use the dishwasher on them though... It tarnishes the stainless bottoms pretty quick.

[@countycitybeach]

I have had this for over 4 yrs and it is just as good as the day I bought it. Metal utensils do not scratch it. Cleans like a dream

[@JoesPhenomenal]

Awesome! Thanks for the insight!

[@melissa4455]

Do you use oil or butter when cooking? Do you use the dishwasher? Any problems at all, like non-stick coating peeling or bubbling. I’ve read some other comments with people having those problems.

[@JoesPhenomenal]

I wouldn't use the dishwasher... it will tarnish the stainless something fierce!

[@SkepticTalk]

I'm thinking of buying these over All-Clad copper core cookware. Yeah All Clad is amazing, but it doesn't have the no stick like this it seems, and this is 1/4th the price. Can you speak to how often you use your cookware from Ninja?

[@JoesPhenomenal]

@SkepticTalk I use mine every day. Mostly the saute pans and smaller pots. Gonna be doing a 6 month follow up on the durability and the nonstick coating pretty soon, but as a preview, they are holding up well for me. I always hand wash though, and for the post part I try not to use to many abrasive utensils on them even though they say it won't hurt them... Doesn't hurt to be a little cautious with that sort of thing, imo.

[@Ms.Underst00d]

I am so impressed with your review. I also enjoyed seeing the like a subscribe video pillows. That made me happy! I am on the fence about these pots and pans. I just started following you. I look forward to recipes and more reviews ! ❤

[@JoesPhenomenal]

Thanks! Appreciate ya. Figured the pillows were better than being a weirdo and constantly bothering people about that stuff.

[@kathyleah7088]

Great review! Thank you as I’d been thinking about getting them.

[@JoesPhenomenal]

No problem 👍 I have a review coming for the stainless version of these too.

[@ianslade2815]

I really appreciate the suggestion to watch other reviews. Too many reviewers claim to provide the only review you will need. I like the balance in the review and the reminder that this cannot cover the long term use. Well done. Nice, informative, well paced review.

[@JoesPhenomenal]

Thanks, Ian. Just trying to make sure people can make good decisions for themselves. I've bought plenty of stuff that people said were the best and I was left kinda scratchin' my head about it.

[@sean321a]

Thanks for the review Joe. Good points all around.

[@JoesPhenomenal]

Any time!

[@Mike-wc1ns]

Been using this same set with the same stove (funny) for 6 months now, and so far, my wife and I have been extremely satisfied and surprised with everything about these pans. The only thing we DON'T do is put them in the dishwasher, use metal utensils or put them in the oven because we don't want to shorten the life of the pans (if we want to transfer a dish to the oven we use cast iron). We're actually going Christmas shopping tomorrow and buying a set for our daughter who is setting up house. Love these pans and would highly recommend them!

[@JoesPhenomenal]

I was pleasantly surprised too! I've had much more expensive nonsticks that didn't perform like these.

[@stephenleskow7959]

Great video! Keep them coming!

[@JoesPhenomenal]

Thanks! Will do!

[@dsfryda]

I bought this set in September of 2021 and use them everyday. These things really hold up. I have no issue with the non-stick surface, and because it works so well I never have to scrub them. I do use wood and plastic utensils most of the time, but on occasion I'll grab the metal spoon or knife next to me to stir of flip something over and it hasn't scratched any of the surfaces. These things are really the true deal, worth the price!

[@JoesPhenomenal]

I love them too.... so far, all of mine have held up perfectly.... was planning on doing an "after a year" kind of video for them.

[@kekemonique7976]

I got this set for Christmas. So far I’m loving it! This is the first “nice” cookware set I’ve ever owned 😊

[@JoesPhenomenal]

Well, Merry Christmas! That's a nice gift. I was pretty surprised at how well the nonstick works on these.

[@melindasmith3713]

Oh you'll get many more !

[@HappyBeeTV-BeeHappy]

Great demo! I been wanting to see what it’s like. Those pans look very high quality, and so easy to clean that don’t make sense to put in the dishwasher. But only time will tell it’s real quality. These pans are stark expensive so give it at least a year for an update. Though I confess, that I trust Ninja’s products. So these pots are probably as good as they seem for the long run.

[@JoesPhenomenal]

We will see! So far it looks like the dishwasher is a big no-no, and metal utensils are a bad idea if you're not really careful. Not really unexpected on those though.

[@guyowen6133]

Wow! This video has the sharpest resolution of any one I've seen. Great review, too! thanks. What camera do you use?

[@JoesPhenomenal]

Heya, Guy! Thanks. I use a Sony Zv-1 with a Newer wide angle lense attached. Proper lighting makes it even better, too. Here they go on Amazon if you want the specs on those: amzn.to/3LxtpPF, amzn.to/3Pvv4qm

[@beckyh8041]

I bought a 2 pc fry pan set a couple years ago. I love them!

[@JoesPhenomenal]

Nice to hear!

[@EALeathers]

White vinegar usually removes the tarnish left from cleaners (with no scrubbing) on stainless steel.

[@JoesPhenomenal]

Agreed... The base plate on those is a littlre weird though. Might be some sort of blend. It's the only time I've ever had that much of a problem with removing tarnish.

[@AmpliFIRE]

Bought this set at Costco around Christmas. We were loving them initially, until one of the glass lids shattered while cooking rice. The good news is that Ninja honored their 10 year warranty and sent us a new lid and sauce pan the next day at no charge. Upon reading the instructions that came with our replacement sauce pan, it is recommended to tilt the lid when using them in order to vent them (making up for the no vent hole issue you mentioned).

[@JoesPhenomenal]

Nice to see they took care of you on that! That tilt seems like a decent solution... The vent would have been nice though.

[@rebuked]

The vent hole may be the deal breaker for me.

[@JoesPhenomenal]

@rebuked for the life of me, I can't figure out why they didn't put one on those.

[@allenpost3616]

I bet a mini diamond hole saw would fix that issue right up. But on second thought though would most likely instantly void the warranty. I can't understand why Ninja did not add one? All today's quality cookware have them. Even my cheap granitestone set came with vent holes with a stainless ring to protect it from chipping.

[@JoesPhenomenal]

@allenpost3616 might have to try that. Home depot has some little rubber grommets that can slip right in there afterwards too.

[@lindatill754]

I bought the ninja large skillet with lid and it is peeling the coating off. I used it carefully because it was expensive for me. I will have to go back to Walmart Wearever brand instead of Kohls. I thought it would last forever. Wish I could still get Club aluminum cookware like Mom had.

[@JoesPhenomenal]

Hmm... Sounds like a defect.... You know Ninja will replace that pan for you for something like 7 yrs... It's got a pretty long warranty.

[@stephanepapineau1929]

I wonder if the bases with time curves like The Rock pans because you rince with water after they heated.

[@JoesPhenomenal]

You mean warping? I'd say they would.... As far as I've seen, ever pan that gets cold water on it while it's still hot can run that risk. It's all about the expansion and contraction of the metal as it heats and cools. I always try to let them cool down close to room temperature on the stove before I start cleaning them... You can shorten that by making sure you're using hot water, but I just try to stay as safe as possible with that.

[@sarahgaskell6538]

I’m considering buying set of either these or the stainless steel version. I’ve an induction hob and my old stainless steel pans heated up real fast, great when boiling pasta or rice. Do these heat up fast or take ages to heat up like my cheap supermarket non-stick pans?

[@JoesPhenomenal]

They're not too bad.. Just a few minutes. The stainless versions are just a stainless outer layer, so they perform about the same at the regular version, and not like true stainless stell pans... They looks nice though, and I like how they look a lot better than the others.

[@philiponcale1820]

Ninja actually makes 2 different lines of cookware, one is called "Essentials" and the other is called "Premium". essentials The essentials are carried at discount stores like Walmart and Target. The only significant difference is the thickness of the aluminum core that forms the base. Essentials core is about 3.3 millimeters thick while the Premium line has a core of 4.5 millimeters. The handles and the coating on the outside of the pan are slightly different but the inside cooking surface appears to be the same material. However the Premium line costs about 33% more than the Essentials because you pay for the thicker base. I bought 2 of the Essential skillets about 6 months ago at Walmart and so far I'm satisfied with these pans, but I never use metal utensils for cooking or abrasives for cleaning.

[@JoesPhenomenal]

I saw those... I felt like the extra thickness on the Premiums was worth the extra cost on the set. Yep... Same nonstick surface with the same warranty. I'd think the Premiums probably have a little better heat retention due to that extra material.

[@richardm.motleyjr.4821]

Always use hot boiling salt water to clean any seasoned cookware. If you have stuck on food particles. Use plastic spatula to scrape away softened food. Empty out hot water, use paper towel to wipe clean and dry.

[@JoesPhenomenal]

Excellent tips, Richard! Thanks for that.

[@rosalc]

How do you remove drip stains from the sides of the pans? I'm having that problem but cannot find anything about how to get rid of them.

[@JoesPhenomenal]

What kind of pans are you using? Stainless steel?

[@LuisQuitt]

nice review

[@JoesPhenomenal]

Thanks!

[@richardm.motleyjr.4821]

With any metal pot or pan. Always use salt water to clean stuck on food. Put water in pot or pan, bring to a hard boil, using salt. Pour water out and wipe while surface is semi-hot. Should do the trick. Always remember, never use soap on seasoned cookware. If so, repeat seasoning process.

[@JoesPhenomenal]

Thanks Richard!

[@richardm.motleyjr.4821]

You're welcome sir. God bless and have a safe healthy and prosperous Year!!!

[@JoesPhenomenal]

God bless you as well, Richard.

[@user-xl4zr1xw1o]

2-29-2024 I bought a 16 piece set on 1-24-2022 and in the past 6 weeks all the pieces have started pitting. I use only silicone spatulas on my cookware and they agreed to replace 5 pieces and claimed 3 pieces were superficially scratched and not covered. At a cost to me Shipping was $28 and will take a month to be delivered. They have a 10 year warranty but clearly this cookware is no better than most not stick cookware.

[@JoesPhenomenal]

That sucks that they didn't just cover it all for you. On the box they make it sound like you can beat on them pretty good with no effect... Maybe they should scale that back. I haven't any any of those issues myself, but maybe I'm doing something different that's avoiding that somehow.

[@maikatase]

How would the frying pan hold up against the OXO? I’m skeptical of the claim of Teflon holding up to 10 years

[@JoesPhenomenal]

They've held up really well for me, so far.... The coating on those is some weird proprietary Ninja thing. So far it's been a lot more wear and scratch resistant than the Teflon stuff.... not sure if it's a teflon blend or something entirely different. They don't go into exactly how they did that very much.

[@WaynoGur]

Thanks for the review. I want to see what you have to say after 6 months.

[@JoesPhenomenal]

That will be a good one I think.... Really curious to see if these can hold up.

[@WaynoGur]

@@JoesPhenomenal that's exactly what I am interested in. Yeah I never wash pots in the dishwasher even if they say dishwasher safe.

[@MilesOfTexas]

How do you feel about the texturing on the outside of the pan? Does that make lint stick to them?

[@JoesPhenomenal]

It can... It's not super rough though. Pretty similar to a lot of stuff with the same type of finish. I personally like the version with the stainless exterior, myself.

[@MilesOfTexas]

@@JoesPhenomenal thanks for the prompt reply! We have a new induction cooktop being installed soon, so I’m looking to replace our Calphalon set that is not induction ready. One more silly question: is the opening of the lid handle large enough to fit over the pot/pan handle? Our cookware usually hangs from a ceiling rack with the associated lid slid over the handle. While it looks like they fit, the pan handles are pretty chonky!

[@JoesPhenomenal]

I used to do the exact same thing. Yep... They fit over the handles pretty nicely. They sit on the hooks a little funny though since the handles are a little on the wide side.

[@williamgeorge2591]

Mine got a deep gash all the way to the metal base first time out of the dish washer.

[@JoesPhenomenal]

One of the reasons I hate using dishwashers for that sort of thing... Wonder what scraped it... It would take a pretty good amount of pressure it to cause something like that, you would think.

[@chrisz8334]

Hello You said you would do a follow up review. How are these pans after a year? Still good or junk?

[@JoesPhenomenal]

Heya Chris. Actually working on putting that video together.. It's just buried in with a bunch of other content. So far the nonstick still works well. There is a little discoloration in the nonstick surface, but no flaking or bubbling. The exterior of the pans still look great as well. Not too much to complain about.

[@rubydealba609]

I purchased these pans three years ago, and the pans that I use the most started to peel off. The Teflon or whatever material it is, started to peel off which is very disappointing. I am guessing I didn’t give them a good use, because I washed them in dishwasher.

[@JoesPhenomenal]

@rubydealba609 hmmm... That might still be under warranty. Might be worth reaching out to Ninja on that one.

[@sirseacow4462]

When you did the tests did you spray any non stick spray or use oils?

[@JoesPhenomenal]

Nope.. Totally bare. Whatever fats that were in thenpan is just what came out of the food naturally. I was surprised, to be honest. I still wouldn't trust using metal utensils on them too often though... I don't trust that quite as much.

[@sirseacow4462]

@@JoesPhenomenal thank you for the reply, I’m currently looking for a new set of pans was thinking of this set or some hexclads.

[@JoesPhenomenal]

Those hexclads are GORGEOUS. Love the looks of those. In fact I almost grabbed those instead of these. I might still pick a couple up to test and review anyways though. Keep in mind though that hexclads aren't nonstick pans. It's funny because I never hear anyone mention that in reviews, but they are only designed to be semi nonstick and are safe for nonstick sprays. It's something that even the hexclads people have mentioned in the past. I don't mind using the sprays from time to time if I need to, so it's no biggie to me, but it can be surprising if you're looking for them to perform a certain way and they don't... Especially considering the price.

[@arevir68rivera]

I've had mine for 2 years. Use them daily; they work, & look just as they did on day one. Highly recommended!

[@JoesPhenomenal]

Yeah... I've been impressed... we have some slight discoloring on the nonstick surface on a couple, but they both still seem to work fine.

[@julieslone422]

I need help on how to clean the outside of the skillets. I fried food and the skillets are stickey dark gunk on the sides not the bottoms. Help to get it off. Looks nasty.

[@JoesPhenomenal]

Barkeepers friend might help get that off.

[@stevenw9206]

They have scratched my glass top range and it is very hard to clean grease off.

[@JoesPhenomenal]

Well, that's not good... Is there some kind of burr or something on the bottom surface of the pan? Ours are pretty smooth, so we haven't had any issues with that, thankfully. We keep our surfaces spotless too, if for anything not to get destroyed in youtube comments. Lol. What are you using to clean the pans? Some warm water and regular dish soap should get them clean and grease free...

[@j7404]

Lol

[@Phyllyps-Levine]

I have had a set for 2 years. In the last 3 months 4 of the pans have started to bubble up and degrade. I bought 2 sixteen piece sets so I have a back up. NEVER fry oil in these pans or make caramel. Those two things get too hot for these pans. I will not purchase again.

[@JoesPhenomenal]

Oo.. That's not great... How high do normally run your heat? I don't think I've ever gone very far over medium. Also, have you contacted Ninja about that? They should probably replace those for you. It's got a 7 year warranty or something like that.

[@profitbands]

do they need to be seasoned or pre-heated?

[@JoesPhenomenal]

No seasoning needed. Ninja says to let them preheat for a couple of minutes to make them stick as little as possible, but my wife never does, and she doesn't have too many problems.... I preheat when I use them though, but I always preheat my pans anyways, so it's nothing new for me.

[@dianapardo6872]

I love ninja products..

[@JoesPhenomenal]

I've liked them a lot too.... you get a lot for the money. I wish they were made in the USA, but if that was the case, they'd likely cost a whole lot more, unfortunately.

[@JoesPhenomenal]

@KINGBRILLIANCE1 Nope. I actually got this set and also the ones with the stainless exterior layer also, and kept the stainless version. Same inner nonstick surface though. All the stainless is nice and shiny, and the nonstick surface looks good. No bubbling or flaking. Also no scratches. I usually use tephlon utensils on them anyways though, but I do use a metal wisk. There is a little bit of discoloration on the nonstick surface, but it hasn't effected the nonstick ability yet. Pretty impressed so far, actually. I usually notice nonstick pans going south pretty quickly. One additional note is that I never put them in the dishwasher. That tarnished the stainless surfaces pretty bad, so I just hand wash.

[@robertstewart2782]

We purchased from the web site. The cost was over $400. We have had them for a little over a year. Just at the year mark. The smaller pot started to bubble. We called and they will replace but you have to pay shipping. Shipping is the same cost as a new pot. They worked great on lower heat. We never used metal utensils and hand washed we have no dishwasher at all. Now a year and a half all pots and pans are bubbling and the aluminum is corroding under it making white spots when it breaks thru. Don't buy these pots and pans. The warranty is useless.

[@JoesPhenomenal]

Well, that sounds terrible. Hopefully they've done something to address that issue. Time will tell, I suppose.

[@JoesPhenomenal]

Well that sucks... Yeah the bottoms on those stain pretty easily. We kept the version of those that have the stainless steel exterior, and they have stayed really nice, more like regular stainless pans. As far as the bubbling goes, I've seen a few people complain about that, but we still haven't had any issues like that with any of ours. Did you contact Ninja about that? They're supposed to be guaranteed against that for something like 7 years.

[@j7404]

Why would you make that "pizza"

It's just basically a big cheese wisp. The main reason for that in the review is to show the nonstick though. Usually cheese will stick like crazy.
