I hesitate on using non stick pans because of the chemicals in the coating but these pans are free of those chemicals which is great. I made stir fry in the fry pan & it cooked evenly & the non stick finish is great, made for easy clean up. I used the sauté pan for a dish which needed to be stovetop then moved to oven, I like that these are ovenproof, I have a few recipes that call for the transfer & up till now I haven’t had any pans to do this with. I haven’t used the sauté lid yet. The handles stay cool, unless it’s in the oven obviously then it’s hot. These pans are heavy & large & I have limited cabinet space but the nesting feature works well, they fit so nicely together & the fry pan hook latches onto the sauté pan so they don’t move or scratch each other. Surprisingly, they fit very well in my small cabinet. I have a glass top stove & these pans need to preheat a few minutes before using but they heated up pretty quickly. I think food takes a little longer to cook than in my stainless pan. I used a stainless spatula & was afraid of scratching but it was fine. They are dishwasher safe but I prefer to hand wash them. Love these pans, now I think I need the pots!

Over the last 10 years or so, we've tried cookware with different non-stick materials, trying out ceramic (ended up being very disappointed with that), then on to the "titanium" we had now. We have quite a few Ninja kitchen appliances. With each of them, the non-stick qualities always had me wanting them to come out with cookware. I finally found that they did, and with this new set, they took that non-stick technology up a notch with their NeverStick Premium Anti-Scratch coating! Everyone, including ourselves, are used to the non-stick pans being smooth. These are quite different. They have a little roughness feeling, but don't let that fool you. They are built very sturdily, with thicker sidewalls than what we are used to. The extra thickness gives it a bit more weight than most aluminum cookware (yes, I weighed it and it was about 4 pounds for the 5 qt. sauté pan). But, the thicker design, which is meant to improve heat retention, also seems to either not heat up as quick, or needs a higher setting than we are used to (we have a natural gas stove). They instruct to make sure the pan is full heated before using to ensure the non-stick properties work as intended (using the old-fashion drop of water test for hot enough temperature). For trying out the non-stick capabilities, it definitely works quite well! We will fry eggs often for breakfast and while we've never had problems with it sticking in our previous pans (but we also use a little buttery spread), I've never had the edges of the egg white start to peel away as it was cooking. This happened on the half with no butter (done as a test). They also had even browning, which I've never had seen before. The cleanup for that and all the other cooking/sautéing/browning we've done has been a breeze. The only thing I had any issue with, which is the same for all pans we’ve had, is the handle bolts. Those can take a lot more effort to clean than the rest of the pan. Just wish those could be coated as well (which is why we've always tried to buy without the bolts, but that seems to be hard to do). The design of the lid (there is only one for this set to be used between the frying pan and the sauté pan) is actually pretty nice. Looks good and has a nice transition from the metal edge to the glass, which makes it easier to clean, especially compared with our previous set. They are designed to be able to go from stove to oven in temperatures up to 500º (or 400º with the lid). We normally don't cook recipes that require that, but it is good know we can. One thing I will like to as we continue to use them is the anti-scratch properties. That is one thing that we've had problems with in the previous sets, especially with doing a quick cut to check doneness where the knife goes all the way through to the pan (didn't want to intentionally try that out yet). If you are looking to finally get a non-stick cookware system that really works and lasts (oh yeah, they offer a 10-year guarantee, as long as you don't do extremely crazy things with them), then these are the ones to consider (along with the other sets in the C500 series)!

I just received the Ninja Foodi NeverStick 12-inch frying pan and 5-quart sauté pan with a glass top, and they are AWESOME! These pans are huge! The perfect size to cook anything in. As soon as I got these pans, I immediately started to play around in the kitchen and make a whole bunch of fun things. I chopped up a whole 1-pound package of bacon and the whole thing fit in the frying pan with plenty of room for stirring and even distribution. Grilled cheese for the kids, perfect. Scrambled eggs, perfect. Fried cheese for fried cheese taco shells, perfect. This pan barely needed to be cleaned, more like just wiped down. The non-stick is incredible. I love how the coated surface of the pan is more coarse and feels high quality. I think Ninja nailed it with this hard-anodized exterior and they even used 4.5mm thick of forged aluminum on the base. Another great feature of these pans is that they nest in with each other and that makes storage much easier. Ninja claims a lifetime guarantee of NeverStick, and after feeling these pans, I believe their claims of never sticks, chips, or flakes. These pans are dishwasher safe, and my favorite part, they are metal utensil safe! I love my sleek metal spatula but could never use it on my other non-stick pans, until now! I get surgical with that spatula, and I am so excited to be able to use the metal spatula on this pan. No matter what your kitchen setup is, these pans are ready and can be used on gas, electric, glass-ceramic, and even induction cooktops. I love that these pans can also go into the oven like a cast iron pan. These pans are PFOA, Cadmium, and Lead-free! You don’t want any of those in your food, so thank you Ninja! The 13mm thick glass lid fits both pans perfectly and looks so good. Not only do these pans look good, but they are also well-balanced. When rolling something like a sauce around in the pan it just feels right and well-balanced. Ninja did a great job with these newly updated pans, and I recommend them to anyone who loves to cook, loves NOT scrubbing a pan forever, and those who want to have more storage space by using nesting pans, these are for you!
