Bought for stir fry’s but use it for lots of cooking
The handles don’t get hot, the pan heats up quickly, and so easy to clean. Would recommend these to anyone.
Suitable for 2 people max. Totally non stick. Would order bigger next time
A little small to make the most of it but little or no fat needed and easy to use.
Delighted with this, the heat distribution is fab. Goes in the oven too.
Lid and handle are not ‘heatproof’ so if hot you will need to use oven glove.
Will definitely buy Ninja again.
The best pans I’ve ever used and a joy to cook with! Cleaning is easy as well. Chose the red set and love it! Thankyou seller and Amazon!
I’ve had this frame pan for several months now. we use it at least 2 to 3 times a day, given that our young adult family is all working from home. This is the first pain we’ve had that is properly nonstick. We’ve been religious with not using any metal utensils with it, of course. It cleans up really easily, fries really well. It works equally well on our gas range as well as the aga; the handle is rocksolid and the nonstick gives real confidence.
It’s so good I’m going to buy a larger one as well. I’ve had really expensive pans in the past including ones from Woll , but this remains the best I’ve ever tried.
The item purchased was a present and the recipient has stated that they are very pleased with the product and has more than met their expectations.
Really like this frying pan, as does my husband (and hes fussy when it comes to cookware). Definitely on the expensive side, but the quality holds up. I’ve only used it about 9 or 10 times, cooking various things, absolutely nothing sticks unless you’re a terrible cook and burn things, but even then, super easy to clean with a sponge – no scrubbing needed at all. Considering it was almost 50, I hope it lasts for a good few years. Considering buying a second for my mum.
Great pan. I use this frying pan for frying and hitting burglars on the head with.
Well worth the money, highly recommend if anyone looking for decent pan’s
Seems a very good product only used a few times bit so far so good
Love this pan. Best one I’ve ever bought so well worth the money. Nothing sticks to it and wipes clean. Can also go straight from Bob to oven. I will be buying a smaller one too.
Absolutely brilliant. Just wipes clean. Really heavy pan you can put in the oven too.
Really good quality,very impressed that it is do non stick you can actually use it with no oil if you wa
I like the fact that you can put this frying pan in the oven it makes excellent omelette s and is easy to clea
Very good quality, does just what it says on the package no fat or oil needed cooks perfectly well withou
Superb pan set, well made, esdy to clean..Highly Recommend
Superb pan set, well made, esdy to clean..Highly Recommend
Just what I wanted to replace a pan I’ve had for a long time and it’s nit too heavy…grea
Takes a little while to warm up but once hot is great. Very non stick and robus
Fantastic so far and glad I paid that little bit more for a quality and durable product.
This pan is amazing. Nothing sticks to it, it works well on my induction hob and it’s incredibly easy to clean. Just be careful of the handle, it can get a bit hot. Highly recommended!
This was bought to replace a tearful non stick which was no longer effective. I’ve tried many different non stick pans over the years so felt that paying the higher price for this Ninja pan would be a longer term gain. So far, the pan is excellent. Food fries easily and no need for oil it]f you prefer not to. Heat across the base is even and it cleans easily. Comes with a guarantee which I’ve registered, so will see how I get on.
Cooks with very little oil, no sticking. Says handle may get hot but so far not experienced this. The large pan may be a little heavy for some once filled with food but this pan is large enough to brown meat for pies in one go instead of in batches and the flour coating doesn’t burn and stick to the pan.
You can make scrambled eggs in this pan or fry an egg in it with no oil or fat and it does not stick. Leave it to go completely cold then was in warm soapy water. Easy and comes out perfect. Good investment if it lasts the ten years it’s guaranteed for.
Previously bought stellar rocktanium but this pan is the next level up, it’s absolutely brillia
I’ve tried so many non-stick pans and ended up returning them. This one is great though. Warnings: it’s heavy and it takes a long time to heat. But it’s very very good non-stick. Fried eggs with no oil are no problem. Lovely crispy skin on salmon was easy with a little oil too. Highly recommended.
Love it and does exactly what it says it will do
I really like this pan – it’s great quality and so easy to clean, and I like that it can go into the oven too. But I’m disappointed that it’s not absolutely flat – so oil gathers around the sides but is not evenly spread across the whole surface.
After having seen all the ads for this pan was dubious that it would actually work as advertised – well it does – you do not need to use any oils in cooking and everything we have cooked so far slides glidelessly out of the pan – amazing to get fried eggs that are healthy!
General use for sauteing, and cooking steaks to finish off in th eoven.
I learnt in my research for a new pan, that cast iron (and possibly other materials) need to cool down naturally otherwise the center will warp. So I’ve been taking care of this one.
It’s a nice pan, not much room, about as wide as the hob itself, good for simple dishes. I’d recommend a larger pan for 2+ people.
the non-stick surface removes the worry about rust et cetera. easy to clean.
Overall I would say the pan is as described! Well made.
As with all Ninja products, these pans are quality. Treated well I’m expecting them to last a very long time.
Really pleased with this set of pans; they have been used now by all of the family with no complaints.
I have cooked eggs, omelettes, onions, fish, meat and no sticking at all.
Hopefully, this will last longer than my usual Tefal fry pans, which lose their non-stick quality within a couple of years. It’s more substantially made and has a 10 year warranty, so time will tell. At almost twice the price of a Tefal, a lid would have been a nice touch. Nevertheless, I purchased a lid and deducted a star.
best pots and pans we have purchased so easy to clean does not stick grea
This is absolutely perfect for frying and so easy to clean. It’s very sturdy and heavy. Excelle
Great pan and very useful to have a lid. Very easy to clea
Absolutely love these pans! I bought a 28cm pan and wok too! Ninja is fast becoming a household fave for me!
This is the best frying pan I have ever bought
Highly recommend i
It feels sturdy a looks like it will outlast its 10 year guarantee. Cleans easily, have not yet tried in dishwasher (no need to). It appears to take longer than I would like to get up to temperature but once it has it is evenly distributed. Early days to know if it will remain non stick but it is looking good so far.
Everything I have tried, steak, bacon ,omelette, has not stuck, washes well , come of with one wild , and works well in the ove
Perfect for non stick frying without teflon or other coatings that eventually flake off. Really produces great results and easy to use.
Absolutely love this pan I should have bought more while it was on offe
We have had various makes and models of Frying Pan over the years. This one beats all the others by far. Much thicker and stronger than others with an incredible non-stick coating. Super easy to clean. Recommended.
It does not stick also it heats all over on our induction hob very pleased
Bought 20cm pan thinking it would fit fine on my 20 induction ring………..wrong, the 20 cm is the width of the top circumference of the pan, not the part of the pan that sits on the hob. Would suggest that sizes are made clearer to save any further confusion.
Did everything I wanted it to do. Well worth the money.
The pan is just as expected to be honest because I ordered after reading various reviews and recommendations elsewhere of pans that you don’t need to take out a mortgage to purchase
My husband was disappointed after seeing advert on television being non stick and expensive to buy and on first use bacon sticks to pan but cooks eggs fine. Hence the 4 stars…
his is a great product only used a couple of time to date but was well worth the purchase
Was looking for a sturdy, quality non stick frying pan especially since we moved from gas stove to induction. I have already used it a number of times, especially for eggs and omelets and am very happy with it. Will purchase a larger size as well for stir frys. Key for longevity for these pans is not to use it on too high heat on induction stoves (out of 9, I never go above 7)
I am in love with this new frying pan. It is AMAZING. Nothing sticks to it. I cook things on very high heat and all my other frying pans coating wears off but this one is simply fabulous. Thank you!
Excellent pan. So good I bought another one just for eggs.
These pans (I bought three sizes) are robust and well constructed. They are very non-stick if used as instructed. They need less oil than my older Tefal pans which were good and lasted a good number of years of regular use. The one downside that is not related to the product particularly is the ridiculous amount of cardboard and packaging used by the company and by Amazon. The Ninja packaging would have sufficed adequately with a delivery label. Aside from the huge box that this packaging was placed in. So much for the cardboard shortage!
This is exactly what I wanted; it is shallower tha n the Tefal one it is to replace and therefore better for dishes I want to have a fried element to, rather than just boiled, such as fried rice meals.
Pan requires minimal fat if any. Eggs cook well and don’t stick. Easy to clean and just the right weight.
So far, cannot fault in any way. I was a bit dubious at first but took the plunge and glad I did. Definitely one of the best pans I’ve used (and I do a lot of cooking at home). Even my wife was very impressed at how evenly it cooks pancakes (she’s Canadian). Heat dispersion is very good and coating and weight of the pan are very good. Can’t wait to push it even further with certain dishes and trying it out in the oven. So far, big thumbs up from me and highly recommend
I looked long and hard for the perfect pan and so far it looks as though I’ve found it. When I wash it up I wipe it dry immediately rather than leave it to drain as I have very hard water where I live so I don’t want limescale to build up.
If it deteriorates quickly I shall update this review but at the moment I’m a happy shopper and would recommend this pan.
Best frying pan I’ve ever owned and spend more on others in the past.
I have induction hob and I found It takes a while for the oil to become hot and so It doesn’t sear the meat properly but it doesn’t burn it eithe
Ive been using this wok for a few months now and it’s been great. Heats up really well and is very easy to clean.
This is a great pan thinking of getting another one
I have purchased many “nonstick” pans to only be left disappointed within a few uses. This pan does not dissapoint! I have used it on the hob and in the oven with no problem. The nonstick coating is still in tact after many uses and dishwasher cycles. Would highly recommend
Brilliant pan only reviewing now as I wanted a few months to try it out and I’m greatly expressed and highly recommend
An amazing saut pan that’s a nice size, cooks like a dream and easy to clean. Sturdy but not heavy. It works for me on all counts. My first purchase from the Ninja range but definitely not my last.
The wok is a great size, and very lightweight, but yet feels well put together and substantial. It distributes heat well and is a pleasure to cook with. I use it for a huge amount, and to be honest, unless it’s something out of the ordinary, a pot for pasta, cast iron skillet and this wok are all I seem to use. Would highly recommend!
Amazing pan. truly non stick and sturdy. I hope it stays that way with time
Item as described, without any hassle, easy to clean and good size for the hob; satisfied all round
Arrived well packaged, very solid pan, used it frequently over last few months on induction hob works great, I just give pan a light rub with veg oil nothing sticks.
I love this pan, the best non stick pan I have ever used. Would definitely recommend this
Love this pan! Sturdy but not too heavy that you need to be a weightlifter to handle it . So easy to clean.
So far I am very happy with this pan. Super non stick coating. The pan is very sturdy and well made.
Fantastic product cannot fault it. I have many of the ninja pans and they are all awesome.
I am a Ninja Foodi convert! Their pans are simply excellent. The non-stick surface is so good that you don’t need to use as much oil as you would in an average pan. The pans are easy to clean too, thanks to the tough, non-stick surface. Happy to recommend – and I don’t often write reviews!
We have been using Ninja cook/kitchen ware for a few years now. We started with the food blender and its brilliant. We moved on to the Ninja Foodi multicook appliance which pressure cooks and air-fries to perfection. We jumped at the offer to try this 26cm Saut Pan.
Here are our thoughts:-
We like the heat-tempered glass lid – fits perfectly and nicely weighted
The ZEROSTICK is a Ninja feature and does seem to perform better than our old pans but the key will be in whether this lasts. The great news is that even the non stick has a 10 year guarantee.
As the non stick is so good we can reduce the amount of oil that we cook with so should be healthier.
We have onlt tested this on an induction hob – some other brands have proved not to work properly on the induction hob before but this Ninja pan works perfectly! No issues here at all.
Although this pan is metal utensil safe – we much prefer using silicon utensils as why scratch pans if there is no need to. silicon tools are now up to the standard of our old metal tools so we have pretty much replaced most of them now.
This pan is dishwasher safe but its so easy to clean that we we prefer to handwash.
A definite extra above and beyond our old pans is that this is oven safe up to 260 degree Celsius
We are really impressed with this Ninja pan. the non stick is great. the flexibility of oven use is excellent. There are two smallish downsides though. Firstly its pretty heavy and if you are smaller framed etc this might be a problem. Secondly and only really minor for us as we didnt want/need it but the photo shows a front pan handle and this isnt on the model we received – so just a note. Still 5 stars from us!
We love Ninja as a brand and were really excited to try this wok out as I absolutely love noodle dishes and have wanted a big pan like this for a while now. And needless to say it does the job well and the food cooks perfectly!
Pros:
* Works with all types of hob tops
* Really sturdy and durable hard-wearing finish – so far it’s showing no signs of wear even after a month
* Non stick coating cleans really well and with little effort
* Solid handle keeps cool when the pan is hot
* Doesn’t require oil (although we tend to add it though for extra flavour)
* Comes with a 10 year replacement guarantee for peace of mind – even if the coating starts having issues, which shows the brand trust the quality of the product
* Can use metal utensils to stir food
* Oven safe base (up to 260 degrees Celsius)
* Nice even heat dispersion
Cons:
* None
So far we have no complaints. It is high-end, but the quality really shows, primarily in how it feels and the lack of degradation after washes. We’ve made delicious stir fries, curries and pasta dishes, and it seals in the flavour nicely and cleans remarkable well. Even considering the price I’d say it’s worth it if you want a long-lasting pan that the brand obviously trust. Highly recommended.
This is a heavy, high-quality frying pan with a good non-stick coating. It’s ideal for any purpose, any hob – I use mine on a ceramic hob and it’s ideal for making a stir-fry for one when I don’t want to get the big wok out!! It’s also dishwasher and (with its metal handle) oven safe to 260 degrees, and the non-stick coating is holding up fine with the usual care.
I notice that some other reviewers have found it too heavy. I would beg to differ on that – I’m a woman in her 60s and I find it perfectly easy to lift with one hand without strain. It is substantial, but nothing like as much as the cast-iron skillet I use in my kitchen, so I can only assume that I’ve grown superhero muscles from using that.
All in all this pan reflects the usual quality you expect from Ninja goods and I’m really enjoying using it. The only negative? It came encased in far too much packaging for such a sturdy item (see picture!!)
This 28cm Ninja Foodi Zerotick non-stick wok looks premium and well-made. It came securely packed in a big box.
This nice looking wok is made from forged aluminium with a hard-iodised non-stick exterior that is free from PFOA, lead and cadmium. Even though it’s metal utensil safe and scratch resistant, I feel more comfortable using wooden utensils with this wok.
The surface is smooth, the bottom is flat and heavy, it has a nice depth, the lid fits nicely and most importantly, the handle, that is made from cast stainless steel, is sturdy, long and firm to hold. The handle has a smooth end with a hole to hang the wok from the wall.
The lid has a steamer hole to allow steam to escape so the lid wont rattle and move when cooking.
In use -being non-stick, it requires very little to no oil and cooks everything healthily and with the heavy-bottomed, it cooks faster too as heat is absorbed and distributed more evenly. I have used it a few times and very happy with its non-stick feature. I use a little bit of oil as I like my fried food have a crispier texture.
It’s suitable to use on all hobs including induction and can also be used in the oven. I haven’t put it in the oven, so can’t comment on its performance.
It’s dishwasher safe, but with its excellent non-stick surface, it’s so easy to clean, just a quick rinse in warm soapy water and you are done.
It’s good to know that this wok comes with a 10-year warranty, showing a full confident the manufacturer has for this product.
I can’t find any faults with this pan so far. I use it every day in the last few weeks and I love it. I would defo recommend it.
Thank you for reading. Hope you have found it helpful.
I have always been a bit dubious about cooking vessels that claim you can cook with no oil, so I decided to give this one a very thorough trial.
The pan itself is solid and well made. It is oven safe, though as my oven is small and the pan with handle will not fit, I will have to take their word for that, although it looks plenty sturdy for the job. All the usual non-stick precautions apply here. It is dishwasher safe but the manufacturers recommend washing in warm soapy water and I have adhered to this. No metal implements should be used, which seems logical.
They recommend that you do not super heat the pan when empty. It warms up fine with things in and the heat distribution is excellent. So, off I went. First cheese and ham omelette. It cooked beautifully and did not stick although some residue remained around the rivets which attach to the handle, these needed a little more effort to get rid of. A fry up, sausage and veggy bacon cook fine with no oil. Eggs, however tend to cook hard on the bottom and inadequately on the top , so I used oil and all was well. Fish, burgers,onions all cooked beautifully sans oil. So, yes, it works. I was surprised and delighted!
This pan has a nice finish and looks like a quality product. However, as with all these kind of produts, you can only see the quality with the months. As far as I have used it, I am happy, it seems durable.
The main point that I keep in mind when buying a pan is the base thickness and the weight. Both are related in some way. The former is important because thin pans are more likely to bend after a few hot/cold cycles. And, the thicker, the heavier. And good pan materials tend to weigh more, too.
I understand that excessive weight is a limitation for some buyers. This one is also heavy because it is a 26 cm pan. But, as I mentioned, typically good pans are heavy.
It is indicated that it is suitable for almost all types of hob (gas, electric, ceramic and induction) although I have only used it with gas. Another good point is that you can use it in the oven. Consider it is a 26cm pan plus the handle, so you will need a large oven. And be careful with the oven, as it is all metal you can burn yourself.
It also includes a glass lid (also all metal), with a steam outlet.
It is indicated that it can be washed in the dishwasher. I can’t confirm it because I never clean the kitchen utensils there.
Finally, although you have to pay for a good kitchenware, it may be a bit expensive.
The age old question of, is it a wok comes up with this. If, in your book, a wok should be mostly be side and less base, this isn’t a wok. If, in your book, a wok should be light, this isn’t a wok. To me, it isn’t a wok and it’s more of a light Chefs pan. A very versatile pan that I think every kitchen should have.
Using it as a Chefs pan, I’ve actually used it for everything but Asian food! It’s been marvellous but for some reason I’m struggling to get on with the handle, I don’t feel fully in control of the pan when tipping the pan. It’s too rounded for me.
Cleaning is dead easy at the moment because it’s a new pan with the coating that various companies have different names for, ‘Zerostick’ in the case of Ninja – a non-stick coating. The proof in the pudding will be how long it stays as non-stick as it currently. The bonus is that the coating is supposed to be included in the 10 year warranty. If that turns out to be a simply process of taking a photo of something sticking to the pan, then this pan is a bargain. Time will tell…
I have to admit to being a Ninja lover. So I was expecting good things from this pan, and it certainly didn’t disappoint.
The only point I have to make is, the pan I have doesn’t have the extra grip handle. Not a deal breaker, but as it had it on the photos I was expecting to see it.
So, everything can go in the oven, the pan and lid. The pan works on all different hob types, gas, halogen, solid ring and induction.
So after washing the pan out and drying it I thought I’d give it the egg test. If anything is going to stick it would be eggs. I put the pan on the gas hob to heat up, and poured in beaten eggs for an omelette. I never used a signal drop of oil or butter. The pan done a pretty good job, the omelette did stick a bit, but I put that down to me having the pan on too high a heat. The bits left in the pan just came away when I rubbed a spatula over it.
So I moved on to doing a fried egg, again with absolutely no oil. I turned the pan down a bit, cracked in the egg. I went to move it and it felt a little stuck, but once I had lifted the edge of it the egg slipped around the pan. I done the tilt the pan trick and it nearly shot out of the side of the pan. I know if I was cooking meat I wouldn’t use oil as there would be fats coming out of the meat, so yes, 10 out of 10 for the zero stick capabilities.
I am more than impressed with this saut pan and can’t wait to get my hands on the sauce pans in the range.
The instructions that come with the pan say you can use metal utensils and also put it in the dishwasher. But as I want the pan to last a lot longer than the 10 year warranty you get, I am only going to hand wash it when it is cool and use silicon/nylon utensils in it.
I can’t recommend this pan enough.
I was a little bit disappointed in this pan when I first unpacked it. I have a trusty old saut pan that was one of my favourite pans of all time — until my Dad dropped it, smashing the glass lid and denting the side of the pan. The pan itself remains largely useable, including the fact that it’s large enough to cook family quantities of standard dried short cut spaghetti in without having to wrestle it down to size in stages as the ends soften. The Ninja Foodi zerostick pan is a good bit shallower than my old favourite — only about 6cm deep rather than around 9cm. Because this pan has shorter sides, even though short cut spaghetti and linguini do (just!) fit, it’s not as well suited to the task of cooking these as it’s a bit short to prevent boiling/simmering water from spitting/overflowing onto the hob top.
This difference in versatility aside, this is a good pan. It arrives well packaged, in a manufacturer hard-sided box, surrounded by paper and protective card pieces. The packaging is almost entirely recyclable, although the tape used to seal the box is plastic rather than paper-based, and there were little plastic holders between the pan and lid. Inside the box, the pan had a colourfully printed sleeve that appeared designed for physical retail shelving.
The inside of this pan is textured, with a slightly gritty feel to it, but the whole thing is covered in a very effective non-stick coating. The main parts of the pan are made from forged aluminium, with stainless steel used for the handles, base, and rim on the lid — so the overall effect is that the pan is light, but not should not be prone to oxidising when washed. Although this comes with a 10 year guarantee there are caveats — and these are printed on the inside of the retail sleeve that arrives covering the pan rather than on a separate leaflet. I’m not impressed by this: it’s not the easiest thing to read (tiny font, printed on plain brown card) and I can’t imagine many people are likely to want to retain an awkward-shaped, chunky cardboard sleeve for up to a decade in case they need to make a claim against the guarantee. I was interested to spot that one of the care conditions for this is advice never to use cooking sprays (often favoured for healthier cooking), as these burn at low temperatures and create a film layer over the non-stick surfacing that leads to sticking. I knew about this being an issue with olive oil, but hadn’t realised it applied to other oils in spray form — and presumably this is likely to be true of these sprays used in any pan.
In use, the pan heats quite quickly (even on our traditional halogen hob). After half an hour of cooking, whilst the pan is warm the handle is not. Only the ‘V’ shaped section nearest to the pan seems to transfer heat, the long section for handling remains perfectly cool. If you put the lid on, the handle for this does get hot and it needs oven gloves for me to be able to lift this off. The pan is oven safe up to 260 degrees Centigrade — hotter than my oven is capable of getting. I thought this was going to prove a theoretical property as we have an electric range, on which neither of the ovens is particularly large — but this does just fit.
The size and non-stick properties of this pan make it ideal for making sauces and smaller batch family casserole/curry type meals as well as sauting. It’s a good pan, with effective non-stick. Pictured containing a liver, bacon, and onion casserole I made for my Dad (yuck!). Where residue at the sides had dred on a little, this just wipes straight off.
Really love the Zeorstick range in this finish from Ninja as have the matching pot set couldn’t be any happier with this – absolutely brilliant frying pan which is incredibly well made, incredibly solid as a tank looks absolutely awesome to boot and matches the pan set as well as the rest of our kitchen ware perfectly with a clean and sharp modern look that also looks professional. The quality is clear both in feel when you pick the pan up up and use it and in how well made it is and how great it looks. The non-stick coating works flawlessly even if you fry certain stuff with no oil or as little oil as possible which is something we’ve become better and better at over the last year or so and since using air-fryers, so it’s great to have a frying pan that can do the same as well as this without completely destroying them or ruining your food. – you can use this to make much healtheir fry-ups without having to then spend ages scraping burnt crusts from the pan afterwards. This is dishwasher safe but it’s really easy to clean thanks to the coasting so I’ve stuck to cleaning it by hand. An amazing pan and would love to now get some more bits in this range as the look is just perfect and couldn’t be happier with it.
Holy cow, I swear, I’m obsessed with this pan.
I really have always thought a pan’s a pan. If it’s non-stick, that’s brill, and we were recently sent some amazing Tower pans to try, and they were brilliant… but this pan is next level.
It’s super heavy and weighty – it is so well made. It *feels* expensive, which is a weird thing to say about a pain.
I got the 24cm option, and it’s a lovely size for a 4-egg omlette, or a couple of fried eggs to cook at the same time. The texture is slightly gritty, like a 500 grade wet and dry sandpaper – so I wasn’t sure how non-stick it would be but, oof! Anything – truly anything – you cook in here will slide off like it’s coated in butter. It’s pretty bloody wizzy!
I know it’s expensive, I really do, and I’m not sure how many people can afford to spring 40 for one pan, but it really is an *exceptionally* good pan, so I actually think it may be worth it. If you have the money to spare and this is the prince point you’re looking at, I would urge you to buy it. This pan made a normal gal like me excited about a pan, for goodness sake – it’s just brilliant.
I think this is set fair to become my favourite frying pan. It is wonderfully weighty and its non-stick coating is very different from the normal teflon type which has to be treated in such a kid glove way, and will still, over a short period of time, begin to show signs of wear. The fact that the makers offer a ten year replacement guarantee – INCLUDING for the non-stick coating, says it all. As does the surprising fact that this non-stick pan CAN be used with metal utensils. Not that I intend to, as most of my utensils are non metallic – but a challenge of these can be that the slotted slice utensil, in silicone or similar is a deal thicker than the old fashioned metal one, and some items are therefore less easily slid beneath and easily lifted. So, hurrah that on those occasions, the skinny metallic can be employed.
This can even (and possibly will make it particularly prized) be used on induction hobs. I don’t have an ih, but am well aware of the challenges for those that do, in finding pans which can be used on them. This is a beautifully heavy, balanced pan, with a lovely long smooth handle, which doesn’t get hot on the stove top, nor is made top heavy or likely to tip.
Even heat conduction is great, and it can also be used in the oven – when of course the handle WILL get hot.
Cooks like a dream, and washes (whether by hand or in a dishwasher) beautifully too.
This really does manage to be non-stick in a way that means minimal oil is needed
I had been eyeing up a new wok for a while as my current one is not in great condition. It’s also massive and as I’m mainly cooking for one or two it’s a bit overkill.
Enter the Ninja Foodi ZEROSTICK 28cm Wok! The first think you notice about this it the weight. It’s heavy. With the lid on it’s over 4lbs. 2.5lbs without the lid. You will need a strong wrist if you are to fling it about like Ken Hom!
Although it’s aluminium, it has a steel plate on the bottom which means it can be used on induction hobs and that is what I am cooking on.
I’ve cooked nearly every meal in it for the last few days and its been brilliant. It heats up nice and quick and using an IR heat sensor on it – the heat it quite evenly distributed. The none stick surface is good – possibly the best I have used; time will tell on that score but there is a generous guarantee to back it up. No matter what I have cooked, it just wipes clean. Great!
The description above says it’s safe for metal utensils – but the guide in the box says not to use anything sharp; such as a fork. Who doesn’t use a fork for scrambling eggs? That should be made clear in the product description as using a metal fork will possibly affect the validity of the zerostick replacement guarantee. That needs to be made clear before purchase as it’s not cheap and is the reason I am give 4 instead of 5.
A good wok, but be mindful of the guarantee conditions.
Satisfied with the ability to distribute heat evenly over the entire surface and with the speed with which it manages to cook all types of food to perfection, without running the risk of burning dinner.
With an attractive design, quality materials ensure healthy cooking.
Resistant over time, even in the case of frequent use.
The ergonomic handle favors a comfortable grip, perfectly welded to the main body. But it is too heavy to hold it up.
The choice to equip the pan with a non-stick coating allows you to cook any type of food with the use of very little fat. The excellent non-stick properties are also appreciated when the pot has to be cleaned; dishwasher safe.
I appreciate the care and attention that has been put into the production of a high quality kitchen accessory.
Suitable for all types of hobs.
I love that it is suitable for baking.
Fantastic 10 year warranty.
moreover, you can choose whether to buy the version with a diameter of 20 or 24 cm.
I’m really impressed. I have a range of sauce pans and frying pans from supermarkets to professional cookware (from a previous life!). This is a really good quality pan and it’s not too heavy for me to lift at all and I do find some too heavy for me. For comparison, it’s much lighter than my griddle pan and also much lighter than my similar sized Tefal frying pan. I have pathetic wrists (and even have an injury right now) and I can still carry this one.
The lid is brilliant and helps no end with the cleaning around my hob! I’ve done all kinds of things in this pan now the latest being prawns in butter – see photo. There’s no stick to this pan and it cleans up super easily. Even on my large double ring gas hob in the centre of my range, at full heat the handle does not get too hot to touch. It’s made of a different type of metal, which doesn’t conduct as well. Only the very end bit near the saucepan gets hot. The handle on top of the lid does get a little hotter and I would recommend using a of a glove or something to lift it off. I don’t know many pans that don’t have a handle that gets hot on the lid though so I expected that.
The whole pan can also go into the oven, which is a big bonus if you’re doing an egg omlette with toppings.
All in all this is a fab pan and I’m really pleased with it. I definitely recommend it.
I expected this band be a bit bigger than it actually is. The size is stated on the product list thing but for some reason I thought it would be bigger than it is.
The pan itself is really well built. The handle is made out of metal but it never gets hot and the pan itself is non-stick. I’ve cooked several things on it and have got very good results every time. I even tried it on pancakes and they didn’t stick at all and the size was just right. Due to the size of the pan, however, you are somewhat limited to how much you can cook on it. I have personally used it to fry up small bits here and there like a side. I have also fried eggs on it and that works really, really well. The pan heats up very quickly also cooks things fast.
Despite it being a branded product, I find it is a bit expensive they can into account the size. It is a very good pan, the non-stick works very well well and it is really easy to clean but I do find it a bit pricey. I would recommend it, however, if you’re after a pan this size.
Arrived very very well packaged – even to having silicone spacers between the lid & the pan to prevent any transit damage.
The pan itself is not lightweight (good sign) with a close fitting vented glass lid (very handy).
No silicone or other plastics in the handles – just nicely embossed with Ninja (like that).
Also really like the hard rivetted handles both sides of the pan (no screws to work loose).
Good for gas / electric / ceramic & induction hobs.
Squat flat base – but also sits well on a raised wok ring if you have one.
Also ovenproof up to 260C (Ideal if you ever want to roast something off in the oven).
28cm Diamater – not the largest but perfectly acceptable for a family meal for 4.
10 year guarantee on the coating – sounds good – but will see how well it does over time.
Not the cheapest 28cm Wok out there but definitely looks & feels like a quality made pan.
Really pleased with this.
Hopefully this review helps your own decisions.
Thanks for reading.
This is a really good frying pan, great in pretty much every way and overall it is very premium in terms of build and quality.
– Well made
– Good size
– Nice handle
– The non-stick coating is incredible
– The weighting on the handle is a bit much which means it is very easy for it to tip over
From the moment this arrived it was clear how premium this frying pan is, it feels fantastic and particularly the fact that the handle is nicely rounded makes a really big difference. The pan is not huge but this is a nice medium size for day to day use. We received this just before pancake day and this was perfect for pancakes, the size makes a really good sized one and the non stick coating is amazing, we had no issues of anything sticking and this really helps reduce the amount of oil used which is great.
The only issue we have found with the pan is that the handle is quite heavy which feels nice to hold the pan but unfortunately this means that it tips over very easily and as we have a gas hop, if it is not placed well on top of the burner then it can fall very easily.
Pros :
– Well made
– Good size
– Nice handle
– The non-stick coating is incredible
Cons :
– The weighting on the handle is a bit much which means it is very easy for it to tip ove
I was unsure of how well the non-stick would work as the surface feels like a fine grade sandpaper. its not gloss like as some non stick pans are but it also doesn’t feel like it will flake off easily. I tested with a fried egg with no oil and it didn’t stick (see photo), the second egg tested didn’t stick either but took a wooden spatula to loosen it slightly, so ideally it needs the smallest drop of oil or a wipe over with oil to help.
The pan is induction ready due to a stainless steel base, and the riveted handle remains cool when on the hob, the handle itself looks like its made from solid polished metal and feels comfortable to hold and good quality. The pan is oven safe so the handle would then got hot which is normal. Its dishwasher safe but I always hand wash non-stick pans, avoid big temperature differences such as washing from hot, and don’t use metal utensils. Absolutely no flex in the pan and it has a 10 year guarantee which also covers the non-stick surface which is great. No price was shown at the time of review so unable to comment on value but its certainly more solid feeling than some pans I’ve had which are 60+ and with proper care should give years of service.
This NINJA Food frying pan comes adequately wrapped and has its own retail card.
The pan is robust, sturdy, durable and is hefty in terms of build and weight.
Upon holding and looking at this pan for the first time, my first impression is that this frying pan is the RR of frying pans. The forged aluminium pan is thick and and well designed to transfer heat and its also got a non slip surface coating that is professionally finished. The handle are cast stainless steel with a brushed finish which is actually really nice to hold, and the stamped NINJA brand part of the handle is highly polished. The holes and design of the handle is precise, smooth and beautifully finished. The handle has two thick steel rods connecting the pan to the handle via two perfectly stamped ends, which doesn’t look like it’ll stay put, for over a decade.
Every part of the pan oozes of top quality workmanship and materials.
It heats up quickly, no matter if placed on a gas, electric, ceramic or induction cooker. Its simple to hand wash or placed into a dishwasher.
Its ideal for cooking eggs, small omelettes and pancakes etc…
I’ve used it several times already and I am happy with this product.
It is tremendous value for money and you won’t be disappointed.
