Hi Joe, Just watched your last review one year later on the Ninja Neverstick cookware. I am so pleased you did this, thank you so much. After a week of reviewing different makes of pan sets I was pretty sure on the Ninja. But after watching your video I now am one hundred percent sure I am ordering this set next week, will be my hubbies present to me. Thank you for such thorough reviews on these.

I'll leave the same comment I did on the thread of another upload regarding this cookware: I bought the Ninja 10 pc. set about two years ago, and I have loved this cookware....I have used many different pans including via working in a professional kitchen. When I examined the cookware in my local BBAB showroom, I was very impressed with the design and construction, as it compared to other brands....even All-Clad (Granted, The All-Clad available there probably wasn't its top line)....I had read and continued to read many reviews, from both regular Joe home cooks and professional articles, and in one article I read, the author stated that "it was like cast iron and non-stick had a baby!".....I immediately identified with this thought! Yes, they DO take a bit to heat up, but once they get going, they REALLY get going....and I have never experience any hot spots.....VERY even cooking! That being said, I have experienced a negative, in my particular case: After about two years of pretty heavy use, I discovered that the non-stick coating was "bubbling" up on the bottom of the 1.5 and 2.5 qt. sauce pans....but ONLY those two pieces.....and I don't believe this is from any abuse, on my part. However, I have never noticed any particles releasing onto my food or any blatant bare spots in the pan...for whatever that's worth. Sadly, it appears that I never registered my cookware (I checked on the website) so I probably don't have a leg to stand on....but I did message NINJA Kitchens via their Facebook page the other day, and am currently awaiting a response...so we'll see. Note: Unless it's a fatty cut or type of meat, I NEARLY always use some sort of fat (oil, butter...often both) to cook with, even in a "non-stick" pan....I find it cooks better and gives it a base flavor. *BTW....there is a 3 qt. high-sided sauté pan that comes with a lid in the set, and the lid DOES fit on that fry pan, as well.....and you can purchase that pan separately. *(Overall, I still love this cookware!)
Thank you for the comment, if you register the cookware it shows that you will have a 10 year warranty. After I registered it, I called them and they were very helpful and sent me a replacement pot at no charge, although they tried to charge me for shipping. Make sure you refuse to pay it. They made no argument and waived the charges. I received it in about 3 days and am having no issues with replacement. 😎👍
I got myself like a year and half about and I love them! Best pans I've ever cooked on and I cook a lot for a home cook. Maybe a little bit heavy, but not too bad
i actually had 2 of the same size pan and no way to cook over a fire and the wood burning was coated with something so i didnt think it was safe, so i used the extra pan over the fire like a cast iron. the fire got really hot so you can slightly tell the difference in the one used on the fire and one not. however still no flaking or anything, and things still DONT stick one the pans have a nice deep cut in it from the ninja foodi knife never dull set and i was mad when someone in the family did that however even that spot doesnt stick, and with the "forever" warrenty i could probably get it replaced but i mean it still works fine EVEN over a fire like cast iron and not needing any oil
My daughter and her boyfriend gave me this set for Christmas. I was shocked but they knew that the last set we bought was 30 years ago lol. Excited to use them. I'm just not giving up but iron skillet, though. Thanks so much!!
Thank you. Before you go and purchase watch my 2year warranty video. Here is the link ruclips.net/video/WosPgOrYTwk/видео.html in this video I talk about the issue I ran into on the large pot. Although they did replace it it's now a year later and it seams to be happening again on the large pot and sauce pot. My skillets have not had these issues. I think boiling liquids for a period of time may be causing it. Hope this info helps you decide. Thanks again.
Thanks for this review! I asked for new "quality" cookware as my Christmas gift this year and your review (seeing how good it is 1 year later) tipped me this way. Thank you!
One question - I purchased an 11 piece set, but the pots are all stainless steel, not the non-stick demo'd in this video. I didn't know to look for that, but from what I can see, stainless - while not non-stick - is also very good. Your thoughts? The package I bought new specifically says "Ninja Foodi Neverstick (this is where I stopped reading ;/) ESSENTIAL STAINLESS. I only mention this as a tip to other newbies that "Ninja Foodi Neverstick" sets aren't necessarily all non-stick. You may need the "premium" one.
Thanks for the question. You cannot go wrong with stainless steel, if I had to choose the Ninja cookware today I would probably get the stainless steel version as there is no need for the nonstick coating on the outside of the pans. Keep me updated as to how they perform. Thanks again for your support 😎👍
I just bought the 12" pan with lid. It cost $100 (which is more than twice what I've ever spent on a pan before!) but will be worth it if it actually lasts as long as they claim.
It's trash. My Ninja pan scratched almost immedietly. Mom thought it was cast iron and she scraped it for under 5 seconds with a fork. I caught her in the act but it was too late; the coating came off in 2 places instantly and was no longer safe to cook with because it would just keep flaking off! Also, the nonstick coating is not nonstick forever. It needs oil, just like anything else. I don't know where they get off saying it's good for such high temperature. It's NOT. The nonstick stopped working after getting too hot for oil one time.
Bless you my friend for this review that I found. I will be purchasing the ninja food never stick 10 piece cookware set from Montgomery Ward for $279 plus tax. I pray that I don’t catch my husband using THIS set of dishes. 😂 I’m for real. Thank you.
@mscandys549 thank you I appreciate the time you spent watching. Please watch my followup video on the warranty due to some pitting issues I was getting in my large pot. This video will help answer any other questions about this set. ruclips.net/video/WosPgOrYTwk/видео.htmlsi=aIVRj9t6dsCsMr54
I've had my 10 piece set for 2 yrs and 1 month. The Teflon is peeling from the top rim down. I just called Ninja directly today an received the run around, no resolution from company. 10 piece set is worthless.
I've been hemming and hawing about whether they were really worth the money. It would seem that they are, and now I am $400 poorer. Thanks for the info.
I bought 2 small non-stick frypans from All-Clad. They were ruined in no time and we used only the spatula designed for non-stick cookware. They came with a lifetime guarantee. But All-Clad refused to replace them...just ignored our emails.
I see where someone in the comments said their griddle is flaking. What is the flaking? Is this “non stick” flaking as bad as tephlon? I threw all my tephlon away and bought ceramic coated. Hoping they are better!
after about a year and a half my ninja neverstick pan began to lose teflon in spots and began to stick. i never abused it and used it appropriately. no metal or metal scrub pads. low heat, soap warm water and a soft pad to clean
Wow you came through on the 1 year review!!! Bravo my friend!!! Sold!!!! Crazy how 1 year flew by!!! (scary as I mature well mature in age) Merry Christmas to you and yours!!!
I got the cheaper set at Target a year and a half ago and while the inside of all the pans has held up, I had one round pan dent to a completely straight edge somehow and the outside color coating is cheap and scratched off in multiple places especially on the bottom edge and sides. Other than the one pan that bent which means the lid doesn't fit, all the other issues are cosmetic. The pans still are as non stick inside as day 1 otherwise.
My first time watching one of your RUclips videos. I have subscribed. I've been researching nonstick cookware. Reviews out of the box are pretty worthless, so I appreciate your review a year later. I did see a few reviews of Ninja NeverStick that said the coating flaked off almost immediately - reviews of the large stock pot. Not your experience? Also, where did you find those great flat tongs? I can't find any like this. Thanks, and I look forward to following you in the future.
@Faith Thank you for the support. I also have been experiencing some flaking only on the large stock pot. I'm planning on speaking to Ninja Customer service soon. Depending on the outcome I may release another update video with the findings and Ninja's Response to this matter. As for the flat tongs I found them on Amazon, here is the affiliate link if you are interested.

Hey Josh, thanks for the comment. At this time I haven't made any plans to make another review. As you can see in my most recent videos I am still using the cookware.
I love the nonstick that these pan offer, BUT along the outsides.....how do you get the dripped grease marks off of them? The bottoms are clean with Barkeepers Friend, but the outsides I can not clean and they look awful!
I do love almost all my ninja pans/pots, but the 11” square griddle seems to have started flaking off after the first use cooking sausage links. I intend to contact them about a replacement. One other complaint is the pan lids retaining water, trapped in where the glass is enclosed into the metal. It eventually evaporates or drains after leaving in the drying rack.
Love your reviews and love the Ninja cookware. Thanks for the cleaning tip! My only beef with the Ninjas is that my eggs slide to the edges due to the concave design as mentioned by another commenter but all in all, love these pans. BTW I gotta get those fish tongs, they look way useful!
@Annette Nelson this cookware is completely dishwasher safe. I Do not use a dishwasher so cannot speak to how well they hold up. Thanks for the question. 😎👍
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.
I have had mine a year and the 16 piece set was $369. I am already seeing 3 pieces I use all the time degrade. I bought an extra set so I’m good. But I will not buy again. It is really great until it is not. Way better than Cephalon, which has never lasted even a year for me. Even the 3 bad Ninja pans that are starting to show use are usable. So the set lasts about a year from someone who cooks daily.
I have had some bubbling happen only to my large 6.5qt pot. I have since contacted Ninja and a new one was sent out in 48 hrs. This set now has a 10 warranty so I will be sure to use it if any other issues arise.
Your not rough on coating. Try useing stainless still utensils or heat upto 900 degrees and run a steel key on it at 10lbs force and see if coating comes off
@@kennethharrison4847 I understand why you should be skeptical but I actually own them I also owned three restaurants not that these would stand up in the restaurant atmosphere but for home use once or twice daily for 5 years they would be fine
@@TheNyclooker fact is the on TV pans ectra are made for today's modern very small family or single life ware people mainly eat out or are working all the time. They cannot hold up to the usage even the 1980s had for wear and tear. Only pure cast iron or stainless can stand up to that type of uszge.
@@kennethharrison4847 These are fine I cook for 3 daily with them. However buy what you see fit. If you haven't tried them then you should and if you don't like them return them for refund.. but you seem like you're set in your ways.. I never said they'd last for ever but for a couple of hindered they'll last 3-5 years
Don't Buy. I was so happy and in love with my Nija cookware when I got it and told everyone I could how great they are but six months later I see so much peeling around the rims and in my medium pot it felt bumpy and I was like what the heck and then I couldn't believe my eyes while I heated the water before adding a flavored knorr rice packet; the bottom of the pan was bubbling up. And when I emptied it I smoothed out the bubbles and this yucky brown liquid probaly water mixed with what ever crud from the pan under the nonstick coating smooshed out from under the coating. Super gross. Also I bought the 10 piece set and added the medium pan an extra 3 1/2 quart pan in the dark grey plus I bought the 8 quart pot in red and the red is peeling so easily off the pot. Keep in mind I only use silicone utensils and use towels between the pots when stacking. And the red pot has only been used 4 times.
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.
Thanks for the question. I have not done any frying in my pans but according to Ninja " Use medium-high heat for sautéing, frying, and stir-frying. Use medium heat for reducing liquids and making pancakes, sandwiches, and omelets."
The version I purchased was the "Premium" which is the 500degree one. If you don't need the higher temp stick to the less expensive. Be aware of the possible issues with the coating. See my 2 year follow up "Where's my warranty" video for the update, here's the link ruclips.net/video/WosPgOrYTwk/видео.htmlsi=HK197Jm6x1SyzYdm. Hope it helps you decide. Thanks for watching. 🙂👋
OK; I'm now convinced. They have a 2 frying pan combo at Sam's Club near where I live for around $52 (normally much higher). If it's still available and on sale next week, I guess I will have to use some of my paycheck to get the set. lol :)
@@YourEverydayJoe Misread; it was $59 plus tax; purchased the set today and did brown some hamburger in it (yes; kept it easy). Pretty great results with burger that is for sure; browned very evenly. Told my sister, if I don't find a use forthe 10.5", I might give it to her. Needed the bigger pan to replace my old one and so far very much liking it. :)
Hi Joe. I'm pulling the trigger on the Premium 13pc and wanted to ask how you deep clean them. Not just the wet paper towel. Obviously, things like chicken or pork. You would want to properly clean them with soap. I heard it's best to dry with lint-free cloths.
Hey Mike, thanks for the question. I clean my cookware with an antibacterial liquid dish detergent and some warm water. The cookware is completely safe for use in a dishwasher too. As for drying just a soft terry cloth towel seems to do the trick for me.
@@YourEverydayJoe thanks very much Joe. Like you I wash everything by hand. I just don't trust a machine to do it for me. I thought maybe you were just using water and paper towel and that was it. I was a little concerned that dish soap would damage the product or something I wasn't sure. Thank you for the clarification. And yes that does make perfect sense. I did end up buying these. They should arrive within a week or so.
Instruction say to never use spray oil of any sorts. Does it hurt the pan? I like to use infused oils for flavor and am worried that I might gum up the pans.
@Stefan Poulin thanks for the question. I have used infused oils in the pan without any issue. I believe they are referring to the artificial aerosol "nonstick" type sprays. If it's an oil that you make at home that uses a pump, it should be fine.
I have a stainless steel frying pan by Made In and their information said the same thing not to use those spray oils. However I just realized I used it this morning in my small stainless steel pot I think I’m OK
I was also worried about cooking marinated meats that contained vegetable oil in the marinade. I’ve used an old stainless pan for those applications out of caution. I guess i could try in my Ninja pan next time but fear they will not honor the warranty if it was damaged due to using in a way they say not to do in the instructions.
Yeah, they are deferring to the Pam Nonstick Sprays and other non-stick sprays like that. I have a pure coconut oil nonstick spray I use sometimes and there's never been an issue with that but definitely stay away from the "cooking sprays"
I've owned 3 Calphalon nonstick premier frying pans for 15yrs now ( 8,10 & 12in pans) and they are showing barely any wear. Now understand these are not my only cookware items i used to cook foods as i have Visons by Corning 10pc and a Wolfgang Puck stainless steel 18pc set. Istruggle to understand why people are so mentally set on just owning 1 type of cookware to handle 80% of their home meals. My parents and grandparents had some of everything from Copper, Aluminum, Stainless, Glass/Pyrex, and Nonstick items in the kitchen cabinets.
I've owned at least 5 Calphalon pans, and I used them a lot as they were my top set of pans. Never got more than a few years out of them before they have lost all of their non-stick properties. They do go in the dishwasher, but they are supposedly dishwasher-safe.
@@SSHitMan and they've said for at least 40yrs now do not put Teflon coated cookware in a Dishwasher because the high heat and detergent shortens the coating lifespan dramatically.... I mean they wash up by hand in less than 2 mins because Nothing sticks when Used Properly.....SMDH.....And Ima guess you've never used the Calphalon warranty to replace the items you've have either
I just purchased these and on my first time cooking on this cookware the handles qnd the rim apround the tops burned and could not be cleaned. I would definitely advise people to purchase different cookwear.
You keep saying there's no seasoning (on the chicken and the egg). Is there a reason? Can you season the food and then cook it? Will it stick if you season the food first?
Thanks for the question, in this video I'm demonstrating the nonstick ability of the skillet as the grainyness of some seasoning will create a barrier on the meat that may get seen as cheating the non stick ability. When I use these pans for my everyday cooking I always season and or marinade the food and it doesn't stick. Hope this better explains it. 😊👍
@Tami Pacumio The apartment I live in does not have a dishwasher hookup therefore, I have not used the dishwasher for this cookware. Although I have not heard of the finish wearing off on these by using a dishwasher. Just an FYI, if you purchase these and register them on their website they state that the warranty is extended to 10 years.
So I purchased this set based on videos like yours... I must admit... My experience is NOT the same as yours. These pans stick after a few months. I cannot cook an egg without a pool of oil or it will stick. I never used metal utensils or anything but these pans are not non stick any more. I have to season them like I would a cast iron pan for them to be simi non stick. Honestly... I would not recommend this ninja cookware... I regret the purchase. Wish I purchased a nice stainless steel set. I have had good experiences with other ninja products but these are a dud if you frequently use them on a gas stove.. maybe if you don't cook often... They will hold up for you... But if you use them daily.... Good luck!
I saw this review (and others) before buying this set... We are a family of 3 people. I am very disappointed on this set, had it for 2 years now, first year, was ok, still holding well with some scuff marks, but now after 2 years is horrible, they use paint to coat this thing and is peeling off. I don't want my son to eat any of that paint and I feel for the price and this should have lasted more!! Previously we had a Tramontina set who was wayyy cheaper and lasted more. I called the warranty a couple of times, they will exchange the pan, but you have to pay the shipping, and it ends up costing as a new one.
Wow, I did not notice it before. After looking at it again in slow motion at about 13:30 you are correct. it appears that the numbers were partially cleaned off. Good catch!
I just got this set. I have tried to cook four eggs now, and each one has stuck. I have tried on medium temp after heating up about 6-7 minutes. I tried on medium-low heat, I tried on medium-high heat. If I have to use oil, my old pans will still work for that. I have no idea what I’m doing wrong.
I still make eggs using my skillet and still function as expected. I make sure to preheat the pan for 1-2 minutes, then prior to cracking the eggs in the hot pan always allow the eggs to get to room temperature. Once they are in the pan I allow them to completely set before trying to move them. These pans are not super slick so they may stick initially but should release without much effort.
@@YourEverydayJoe Thanks for the tips. Have you had any problems with the non-stick coating bubbling or peeling. I have read several comments of this happening, especially in the sauce pans. I’m a little concerned now. Thanks again.
@danielhenderson7050 although I have affiliate links in the video description, I have not been paid to review the ninja cookware. I purchased this set using my own money and have been using it for a couple of years now. I also have addressed the issue of pitting I had with my large pot in a followup video about using the warranty. As of now, I'm still using my large skillet and pot, they can be seen in some of my more recent recipes videos. Thanks for the comment.
funny thing about cast iron...you never have to ask "how's it holding up ?" l got skillets over 100 years old...they've still got several hundred years left...while the fads come and then go ...to the landfill.
I think your intentions were to get your recipes out to the world knowing they're here for cooking . So you capitalize on the idea of your own personal methods and BAM!!! BALLLLLLIIIIINNNNNNN

How do you clean the burnt part in the bottom of the pans? The cooking side is still good and easy cleaning. The bottom is brown

I just bought the 12" pan with lid. It cost $100 (which is more than twice what I've ever spent on a pan before!) but will be worth it if it actually lasts as long as they claim.
It's trash. My Ninja pan scratched almost immedietly. Mom thought it was cast iron and she scraped it for under 5 seconds with a fork. I caught her in the act but it was too late; the coating came off in 2 places instantly and was no longer safe to cook with because it would just keep flaking off! Also, the nonstick coating is not nonstick forever. It needs oil, just like anything else. I don't know where they get off saying it's good for such high temperature. It's NOT. The nonstick stopped working after getting too hot for oil one time.
No it's because your mom ruined the pan
Now see as I use this plasma Torch this pan just doesn't hold up very well.
I bought it and it's arriving today I'm so excited!
I e been waiting for 1 yr to buy my set! I’m super excited!
Bless you my friend for this review that I found. I will be purchasing the ninja food never stick 10 piece cookware set from Montgomery Ward for $279 plus tax. I pray that I don’t catch my husband using THIS set of dishes. 😂 I’m for real. Thank you.
@mscandys549 thank you I appreciate the time you spent watching. Please watch my followup video on the warranty due to some pitting issues I was getting in my large pot. This video will help answer any other questions about this set. ruclips.net/video/WosPgOrYTwk/видео.htmlsi=aIVRj9t6dsCsMr54
I've had my 10 piece set for 2 yrs and 1 month. The Teflon is peeling from the top rim down. I just called Ninja directly today an received the run around, no resolution from company. 10 piece set is worthless.
I've been hemming and hawing about whether they were really worth the money. It would seem that they are, and now I am $400 poorer. Thanks for the info.
Thank you for the info. I saw all three of your videos and I ordered the 12 inch pan yesterday. Much appreciated. Happy holidays.
@Ly Do-Kisner your welcome. Hope you have a happy and healthy new year!
I bought 2 small non-stick frypans from All-Clad. They were ruined in no time and we used only the spatula designed for non-stick cookware. They came with a lifetime guarantee. But All-Clad refused to replace them...just ignored our emails.
I see where someone in the comments said their griddle is flaking. What is the flaking? Is this “non stick” flaking as bad as tephlon? I threw all my tephlon away and bought ceramic coated. Hoping they are better!
Sylvester Stallone doing product reviews? Love it!
😂👍
after about a year and a half my ninja neverstick pan began to lose teflon in spots and began to stick. i never abused it and used it appropriately. no metal or metal scrub pads. low heat, soap warm water and a soft pad to clean
just watched the 6 month review and than came to this one, definitely will be splurging on it
Very helpful video. I've been considering this set and now I'll purchase without anxiety. Thanks.
Wow you came through on the 1 year review!!! Bravo my friend!!! Sold!!!! Crazy how 1 year flew by!!! (scary as I mature well mature in age) Merry Christmas to you and yours!!!
@Ed Young thank you and Merry Christmas 🎄
I got the cheaper set at Target a year and a half ago and while the inside of all the pans has held up, I had one round pan dent to a completely straight edge somehow and the outside color coating is cheap and scratched off in multiple places especially on the bottom edge and sides. Other than the one pan that bent which means the lid doesn't fit, all the other issues are cosmetic. The pans still are as non stick inside as day 1 otherwise.
this video really helped me decide to buy them thank you
Your welcome, I'm glad it was helpful.🙂👋
My first time watching one of your RUclips videos. I have subscribed. I've been researching nonstick cookware. Reviews out of the box are pretty worthless, so I appreciate your review a year later. I did see a few reviews of Ninja NeverStick that said the coating flaked off almost immediately - reviews of the large stock pot. Not your experience? Also, where did you find those great flat tongs? I can't find any like this. Thanks, and I look forward to following you in the future.
@Faith Thank you for the support. I also have been experiencing some flaking only on the large stock pot. I'm planning on speaking to Ninja Customer service soon. Depending on the outcome I may release another update video with the findings and Ninja's Response to this matter. As for the flat tongs I found them on Amazon, here is the affiliate link if you are interested.

Really enjoy your reviews. Are you planning on doing a 2 year review? Would love to see how your cookware is holding up.
Hey Josh, thanks for the comment. At this time I haven't made any plans to make another review. As you can see in my most recent videos I am still using the cookware.
the pink stuff paste will get that dis coloring off easy
Another truly remarkable Ninja product.
I love the nonstick that these pan offer, BUT along the outsides.....how do you get the dripped grease marks off of them? The bottoms are clean with Barkeepers Friend, but the outsides I can not clean and they look awful!
But does it scratch your cooktop because mine have really scratched up mine :/
I spent $42 on just the 10 1/4" fry pan. I use it every day. Best purchase in some time. -
Hey Joe, love the name🤣 thanks for comment and support.😎👍
Wow great demo! I'm so excited because I just bought one at Target on sale. Can't wait to try it! Thanks!
@Amy's new life , thanks for watching the video I appreciate the support.😊👍
We haven't even had ours 1 year and the non stick coating is peeling off
I do love almost all my ninja pans/pots, but the 11” square griddle seems to have started flaking off after the first use cooking sausage links. I intend to contact them about a replacement.
One other complaint is the pan lids retaining water, trapped in where the glass is enclosed into the metal. It eventually evaporates or drains after leaving in the drying rack.
Love your reviews and love the Ninja cookware. Thanks for the cleaning tip! My only beef with the Ninjas is that my eggs slide to the edges due to the concave design as mentioned by another commenter but all in all, love these pans. BTW I gotta get those fish tongs, they look way useful!
@Blayne B thanks for watching I appreciate the support.😎👍
I have that 10 inch fry pan and its to shallow. wish the sides where 1 inch deeper.
Found your videos on the same day that my set arrived. Hopefully i also get a year + of good use out of these !
😎👍
@@YourEverydayJoe Thank you very informative! One question How well does it hold up to dishwasher
@Annette Nelson this cookware is completely dishwasher safe. I Do not use a dishwasher so cannot speak to how well they hold up. Thanks for the question. 😎👍
I just bought a Green Diamond and never switching
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.
Ok Joe time for a 2 year review?? Hope all is well.
Thank you for the helpful video.
Your very welcome and thanks for watching and leaving a comment 🙂👋
I have had mine a year and the 16 piece set was $369. I am already seeing 3 pieces I use all the time degrade. I bought an extra set so I’m good. But I will not buy again. It is really great until it is not. Way better than Cephalon, which has never lasted even a year for me. Even the 3 bad Ninja pans that are starting to show use are usable.
So the set lasts about a year from someone who cooks daily.
I have these pans and they have not held up. The noncook surface is peeling off.
I have had some bubbling happen only to my large 6.5qt pot. I have since contacted Ninja and a new one was sent out in 48 hrs. This set now has a 10 warranty so I will be sure to use it if any other issues arise.
Your not rough on coating. Try useing stainless still utensils or heat upto 900 degrees and run a steel key on it at 10lbs force and see if coating comes off
I think the blow torch test will prove it's mettle. Or unload a AR 15 clip... Then it will be a Buy
@@TheNyclooker fact is never has non stick proven its metal and those infomercials are all set up to make them look good use tricks of the trade
@@kennethharrison4847
I understand why you should be skeptical but I actually own them
I also owned three restaurants not that these would stand up in the restaurant atmosphere but for home use once or twice daily for 5 years they would be fine
@@TheNyclooker fact is the on TV pans ectra are made for today's modern very small family or single life ware people mainly eat out or are working all the time. They cannot hold up to the usage even the 1980s had for wear and tear. Only pure cast iron or stainless can stand up to that type of uszge.
@@kennethharrison4847
These are fine I cook for 3 daily with them. However buy what you see fit.
If you haven't tried them then you should and if you don't like them return them for refund.. but you seem like you're set in your ways.. I never said they'd last for ever but for a couple of hindered they'll last 3-5 years
Don't Buy. I was so happy and in love with my Nija cookware when I got it and told everyone I could how great they are but six months later I see so much peeling around the rims and in my medium pot it felt bumpy and I was like what the heck and then I couldn't believe my eyes while I heated the water before adding a flavored knorr rice packet; the bottom of the pan was bubbling up. And when I emptied it I smoothed out the bubbles and this yucky brown liquid probaly water mixed with what ever crud from the pan under the nonstick coating smooshed out from under the coating. Super gross. Also I bought the 10 piece set and added the medium pan an extra 3 1/2 quart pan in the dark grey plus I bought the 8 quart pot in red and the red is peeling so easily off the pot. Keep in mind I only use silicone utensils and use towels between the pots when stacking. And the red pot has only been used 4 times.
Did everything they said to do preheat etc. Still couldn't cook an egg without sticking took it back
You can't compare beef to chicken when you are testing the stick to pan. Beef to beef would have been more accurate
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.
one should not use chainsaw to cut cast iron...
If I close my eyes, I'm listening to Ray Romano
🤣👍
great video, just subbed!
Thanks for the support.🙏😊
i watched both videos thanks
@rick taylor Thanks for watching and support.
GREAT VIDEO!!Can you fry tortillas in these pans???? Thanks!
Thanks for the question. I have not done any frying in my pans but according to Ninja " Use medium-high heat for sautéing, frying, and stir-frying. Use medium heat for reducing liquids and making pancakes, sandwiches, and omelets."
I don't like the hollow chimney handles.
Which ones did you buy? I’ve seen 400degree and 500degree. Are 500degree pans worth extra cash?
The version I purchased was the "Premium" which is the 500degree one. If you don't need the higher temp stick to the less expensive. Be aware of the possible issues with the coating. See my 2 year follow up "Where's my warranty" video for the update, here's the link ruclips.net/video/WosPgOrYTwk/видео.htmlsi=HK197Jm6x1SyzYdm. Hope
it helps you decide. Thanks for watching. 🙂👋
Has anyone had issues with the glass lids? Mine make a “cracking” “popping” sound when im using them.
How is holding up after 3 years???
Great vid thanks
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for the support 🙂👍
I didn't know Stallone practiced the art of Ninja. 😂😂😂
OK; I'm now convinced. They have a 2 frying pan combo at Sam's Club near where I live for around $52 (normally much higher). If it's still available and on sale next week, I guess I will have to use some of my paycheck to get the set. lol
:)
😎👍
@@YourEverydayJoe Misread; it was $59 plus tax; purchased the set today and did brown some hamburger in it (yes; kept it easy). Pretty great results with burger that is for sure; browned very evenly. Told my sister, if I don't find a use forthe 10.5", I might give it to her. Needed the bigger pan to replace my old one and so far very much liking it. :)
Hi Joe. I'm pulling the trigger on the Premium 13pc and wanted to ask how you deep clean them. Not just the wet paper towel. Obviously, things like chicken or pork. You would want to properly clean them with soap. I heard it's best to dry with lint-free cloths.
Hey Mike, thanks for the question. I clean my cookware with an antibacterial liquid dish detergent and some warm water. The cookware is completely safe for use in a dishwasher too. As for drying just a soft terry cloth towel seems to do the trick for me.
@@YourEverydayJoe thanks very much Joe. Like you I wash everything by hand. I just don't trust a machine to do it for me. I thought maybe you were just using water and paper towel and that was it. I was a little concerned that dish soap would damage the product or something I wasn't sure. Thank you for the clarification. And yes that does make perfect sense. I did end up buying these. They should arrive within a week or so.
Are they non toxic ?
@Helena Lovelock according to Ninja these pans are non-toxic, This Ninja set is PFOA-, PFAS-, cadmium- and lead-free.
good review
Thank you.😊👍
Hey Joe, can you post a link for that plant grower on your back, plz?
@Rafael G the plant grower behind me is the AeroGarden Harvest:
amzn.to/2XiE5aq
Instruction say to never use spray oil of any sorts. Does it hurt the pan? I like to use infused oils for flavor and am worried that I might gum up the pans.
@Stefan Poulin thanks for the question. I have used infused oils in the pan without any issue. I believe they are referring to the artificial aerosol "nonstick" type sprays. If it's an oil that you make at home that uses a pump, it should be fine.
I have a stainless steel frying pan by Made In and their information said the same thing not to use those spray oils. However I just realized I used it this morning in my small stainless steel pot I think I’m OK
I was also worried about cooking marinated meats that contained vegetable oil in the marinade. I’ve used an old stainless pan for those applications out of caution. I guess i could try in my Ninja pan next time but fear they will not honor the warranty if it was damaged due to using in a way they say not to do in the instructions.
Yeah, they are deferring to the Pam Nonstick Sprays and other non-stick sprays like that. I have a pure coconut oil nonstick spray I use sometimes and there's never been an issue with that but definitely stay away from the "cooking sprays"
@@SteakCutFries Same for stainless steel pans they just want you to use regular oil like olive oil grapeseed oil
Do any of you use oil in the pans? Just for flavor?
@Mrs. Dorenkamp thank you for the question. 🙏 I have used olive oil, butter and sesame seed oil without any issues. 😊👍
I've owned 3 Calphalon nonstick premier frying pans for 15yrs now ( 8,10 & 12in pans) and they are showing barely any wear. Now understand these are not my only cookware items i used to cook foods as i have Visons by Corning 10pc and a Wolfgang Puck stainless steel 18pc set. Istruggle to understand why people are so mentally set on just owning 1 type of cookware to handle 80% of their home meals. My parents and grandparents had some of everything from Copper, Aluminum, Stainless, Glass/Pyrex, and Nonstick items in the kitchen cabinets.
I've owned at least 5 Calphalon pans, and I used them a lot as they were my top set of pans. Never got more than a few years out of them before they have lost all of their non-stick properties. They do go in the dishwasher, but they are supposedly dishwasher-safe.
@@SSHitMan and they've said for at least 40yrs now do not put Teflon coated cookware in a Dishwasher because the high heat and detergent shortens the coating lifespan dramatically.... I mean they wash up by hand in less than 2 mins because Nothing sticks when Used Properly.....SMDH.....And Ima guess you've never used the Calphalon warranty to replace the items you've have either
@@da900smoove1 I never knew about the warranty lol. Do they actually replace them no questions asked or just say you abused them as an excuse?
I just purchased these and on my first time cooking on this cookware the handles qnd the rim apround the tops burned and could not be cleaned. I would definitely advise people to purchase different cookwear.
What happened? what were you cooking?
Cool video. ❤❤❤
Thank you,🙂👋
You keep saying there's no seasoning (on the chicken and the egg). Is there a reason? Can you season the food and then cook it? Will it stick if you season the food first?
Thanks for the question, in this video I'm demonstrating the nonstick ability of the skillet as the grainyness of some seasoning will create a barrier on the meat that may get seen as cheating the non stick ability. When I use these pans for my everyday cooking I always season and or marinade the food and it doesn't stick. Hope this better explains it. 😊👍
Ray Ramano???
😆😆😆
thanks man
Damn, you look like the offspring of Pacino and De Niro.
🤣🤣🤣
Has the lack of vent holes in the lids ever been an issue?
I havent had any issue with the lack of vent holes. What issues are you referring to? Thanks for the question.
Does it work with induction tops?
Yes this cookware works perfectly on an induction cooktop. I have tested it in some of my other videos. Thanks for the question. 😎👍
Hello. Does the Ninja set come with a steamer basket?
@Tina Marshall this set did not come with a steamer basket.
Do you put them in the dishwasher?
This cookware is dishwasher safe. Thanks for the question.😊
@@YourEverydayJoe Were the pans you just showed put in the dishwasher? I've lost the finish on other pans putting them in the dishwasher.
@Tami Pacumio The apartment I live in does not have a dishwasher hookup therefore, I have not used the dishwasher for this cookware. Although I have not heard of the finish wearing off on these by using a dishwasher. Just an FYI, if you purchase these and register them on their website they state that the warranty is extended to 10 years.
So I purchased this set based on videos like yours... I must admit... My experience is NOT the same as yours. These pans stick after a few months. I cannot cook an egg without a pool of oil or it will stick. I never used metal utensils or anything but these pans are not non stick any more. I have to season them like I would a cast iron pan for them to be simi non stick. Honestly... I would not recommend this ninja cookware... I regret the purchase. Wish I purchased a nice stainless steel set. I have had good experiences with other ninja products but these are a dud if you frequently use them on a gas stove.. maybe if you don't cook often... They will hold up for you... But if you use them daily.... Good luck!
I saw this review (and others) before buying this set... We are a family of 3 people. I am very disappointed on this set, had it for 2 years now, first year, was ok, still holding well with some scuff marks, but now after 2 years is horrible, they use paint to coat this thing and is peeling off. I don't want my son to eat any of that paint and I feel for the price and this should have lasted more!! Previously we had a Tramontina set who was wayyy cheaper and lasted more. I called the warranty a couple of times, they will exchange the pan, but you have to pay the shipping, and it ends up costing as a new one.
to 13:24 - before/after - did you wash off "C30026" serial number =O
Wow, I did not notice it before. After looking at it again in slow motion at about 13:30 you are correct. it appears that the numbers were partially cleaned off. Good catch!
Funny story. Ninja says “lifetime” warranty. In the literature inside it says it’s the lifetime of the cook ware which is 5 years.
Actually says that on the box as well. Most pots and pans have a 5 year lifetime warranty as they call it, very common.
I just got this set. I have tried to cook four eggs now, and each one has stuck. I have tried on medium temp after heating up about 6-7 minutes. I tried on medium-low heat, I tried on medium-high heat. If I have to use oil, my old pans will still work for that. I have no idea what I’m doing wrong.
I still make eggs using my skillet and still function as expected. I make sure to preheat the pan for 1-2 minutes, then prior to cracking the eggs in the hot pan always allow the eggs to get to room temperature. Once they are in the pan I allow them to completely set before trying to move them. These pans are not super slick so they may stick initially but should release without much effort.
@@YourEverydayJoe Thanks for the tips. Have you had any problems with the non-stick coating bubbling or peeling. I have read several comments of this happening, especially in the sauce pans. I’m a little concerned now. Thanks again.
@@melissa4455 I notice he doesn't reply to the comments about quality. I am guessing he is paid by them to review.
@danielhenderson7050 although I have affiliate links in the video description, I have not been paid to review the ninja cookware. I purchased this set using my own money and have been using it for a couple of years now. I also have addressed the issue of pitting I had with my large pot in a followup video about using the warranty. As of now, I'm still using my large skillet and pot, they can be seen in some of my more recent recipes videos. Thanks for the comment.
funny thing about cast iron...you never have to ask "how's it holding up ?" l got skillets over 100 years old...they've still got several hundred years left...while the fads come and then go ...to the landfill.
Two year review?!
Do the pans need to be seasoned before the first use?
Thanks for the question, none of the pans in this cookware set require seasoning.
@@YourEverydayJoe ty
Meh nothing beats a good cast iron
Have you put them in the dishwasher?
@George Crocker I have not placed them in a dishwasher. I still wash by hand. They claim to be completely dishwasher safe.
So , would anyone say ninja is better than hexclad?
I think your intentions were to get your recipes out to the world knowing they're here for cooking . So you capitalize on the idea of your own personal methods and BAM!!! BALLLLLLIIIIINNNNNNN
