  Quality Built Pots!

  • Tech Insider Network Member

  Having quality pots in your kitchen is a must if you are an avid chef. As someone who enjoys cooking all the time, I must say these are truly some of the finest pots I have used in the kitchen. They are on the expensive side but if you are cooking something all the time, cookware with a great lifespan is a must. I have been using this cookware set for a couple of days now and am amazed at how reliable these have been so far. This is a 4-piece cookware set. The set comes with a 2.5-quart pot with a lid and a 3.5-quart pot with a lid. Both the pots and lids stack beautifully and allow for efficient storage. (see picture) You also won’t have to worry about scratching the pots when stacked because the top pot isn’t touching the base of the bottom one. In terms of build, these feel tremendously durable and should last a while. The exterior is made of a thick hard-anodized exterior and the handles are made of stainless steel. The base is aluminum and feels heavy-duty as well. The interior of these pots is non-stick so you won’t have to worry about food sticking. I have cooked a variety of foods over the past couple of days and I have yet to have anything stick. I also have noticed all my foods have been cooking evenly! I haven’t used metal utensils on these but Ninja does say these pots can be used with metal utensils, but it is not recommended. Washing these pots is a breeze. Having the non-stick coating allows for an easy clean-up after cooking. Overall, I have nothing negative to say about these pots. These are built extremely well, stackable pots and lids are fantastic for storage, and the non-stick coating prevents a messy clean-up. The price is on the steeper side but if you are in search of quality-built pots, you cannot go wrong with these! Kudos to Ninja for the incredible craftsmanship!

  Great engineering behind these pots.

  • Tech Insider Network Member

  Great engineering behind these pots... So first of all storing pits and pans in cupboards is always a pain. It is not balanced and you you end up having to put something to prevent scratching the bottom. Ninja eliminates that issue because they added a small handle on the other side to suspend the pots from touching the non stick surface.... Genius! Also the stacking of the lids is easy too. Both systems help keep pans all nice and organized. Weight is nice and even yet feels a little heavy/sturdy... Cooking is nice. Non stick is good. Clean up is super easy. I used.on gas stove so no problems with heating evenly. Washing was super easy too..... Who would have thought of Ninja for pans... Good job engineers behind the R&D with Practicality and use... Only con is the same as other pots of similar built with cover. There is a small hole that allows ventilation but can trap moisture and condensation in it. So you just need to make sure you flush it out good or take the handle out and flush and put back on. I would recommend this product.

  Ninja Food NeverStick Premium Anti-Scratch Nested

  • My Best Buy Premier Silver Review

  Shark and Ninja are everywhere! From vacuums and blenders to, well, cookware, and not run-of-the-mill products, either. I’ve been using their smartly-designed nesting duo of saucepans. Ideal for space-challenged homemakers, the handles are sturdy cast stainless steel. When nested, the handles provide the buffer space that protects the surface of the pan below. Even the lids stack atop one another, though not solidly nested, offering space-saving characteristics. This set includes a 2-1/2-quart saucepan and a 3-1/2-quart saucepan, both essential kitchen sizes. The pans themselves have a strong “shot blasted” texture that is said to resist scratches in similar fashion to stainless steel. Free of PFOA, lead and cadmium, every piece in the line is also low maintenance and dishwasher safe, though hand washing is recommended to avoid contact with caustic dishwasher soaps. I have only hand washed my pair. Unlike non-stick cookware that has a flat, smooth surface these have a distinctly textured surface. The textured cooking surface is deigned to be safe and unmarred by certain metal utensils including tongs, whisks, spoons and spatulas, but avoid using knives, forks and other utensils that might cut deeply into the coating. According to Ninja, these pots (and pans), “will not stick, chip or flake.” These heavy duty NeverStick pots are oven safe to 500º. Start on the stove and finish in the oven. Lids are oven safe to 400º. Forged of heavy-gauge aluminum, they are said to heat evenly to prevent burning, while the exclusive coating is not only non-stick but also allows for searing, similar to when using cast iron cookware. The heft of these pans tells a story of the feel of quality throughout while the coating exudes long-lasting non-stick capabilities as has been demonstrated through my limited use. I am always mindful that even cheap pans can be non-stick out of the box, then quickly lose their release capability. While I cannot say that these pans will be non-stick through their 10-year warranty period, I would like to think that with proper, recommended use & care, they will perform admirably for many years to come. Unlike some non-stick cookware these pans can take high heat when it is called for. Instructions suggest pre-heating, even to higher heat than that which the user may be accustomed. The guide offers heating level suggestions from low heat to high heat. Speaking of heat and stovetop use, these are safe for all ranges, including, “gas, electric, electric coil, halogen, induction, and ceramic cooktops.” Mine is natural gas. What a blessing to have these strategically, well-thought nesting pots that save kitchen cabinet space. So smart, so very smart! **WHAT’S IN THE BOX** • 2-1/2 quart pot with lid • 3-1/2 quart pot with lid • Use & care instructions with warranty information **THE SETUP** READ the information on the box and the packed-in use & care information and follow it! Wash, dry, enjoy, repeat. And now, it’s time to . . . **PUT IT TO THE TEST** • Pre-heated on medium-high heat, I put an egg straight for the shell into the small pot with nothing else. I swirled it about to prevent sticking, but it stuck just a little, until released with a utensil. Why would anyone fry an egg without even a tiny bit of oil or butter? Yuck! Would the egg slide out easily? YES, but I won’t do this again. • Brown a piece of chicken. For this, I started with medium heat and a teaspoon of olive oil, using tongs to turn the skinless, boneless breast. • Make a burger in the larger pot. Yes, I know these are not sauté pans, but making a burger is a good way to see if they do a good job browning with just the minimal fat from the ground beef. This was pre-heated on high heat. Rare, please. Nice job, and fast, adding some cheese after flipping. I used a spatula to remove the burger when cooked to my liking. • Now, to use these pots for an intended purpose. In the larger pot on medium high, I sautéed cut up onions and peppers with a tablespoon of olive oil, then deglazed the pan with some chicken stock and let it cook down. Adjusting the heat to medium, I added uncooked cut up boneless chicken breast, lid on, tossing every minute. Once the chicken was browned, I dropped the temperature to low and added some Asian sauce. The mix simmered until the chicken was fully cooked, about 6 minutes. Off the heat, spooning onto plates for serving and . . . delicious. • The long stainless steel handles attached with rivets have stayed cool enough to pick up the pots without pot holders when used on the stove. The closer I moved towards the rivets, the higher the temperatures. With oven use, ALWAYS use protection as the handles get very hot. **CONCLUSION** I love using these pots. Cleanup is so easy. The non-stick capabilities are appreciated as well as the nesting feature. The ONLY other consideration is that like other high-quality cookware, these pans are not lightweight. Some users may find them to be heavy, but this is a subjective judgment. Will they stand the test of time? I cannot predict, but with the strong warranty backing them, I am hopeful I will not need to exercise it. Get this cookware! **WARRANTY** Manufacturer’s 10-year parts and labor
