Cant wait for a few of these to show up in IRK boxes sooner or later, because although they are a necessity, I imagine a majority of people that use this site regularly already have an overflow of kitchen appliances including pots and pans. Especially for the $170 price point
@davidgro I don’t think it’s PTFE. I suspect it’s one of the newer ceramic-type coatings. The Ninja website says it’s scratch-resistant and guaranteed to not stick, chip, or flake for 10 years. I had a similar pan that was one of the earliest to use a ceramic coating, and it lasted over 10 years before it started to stick, and it’s never chipped or flaked.
@davidgro@HankB33 My bad. I did do a search and didn’t find anything apart from their durability guarantees, including compatibility with metal utensils, which didn’t seem likely for a PTFE-based non-stick. It does seem like they’re not keen to advertise the composition.
@davidgro@Tamdrik No worries, I was just sharing the information I found rather than just “Google it.” And yes, they aren’t very forthcoming with that information.
I’ll stick with cast iron for a self healing (if properly treated) non stick surface. (Pun not intended but I’ll take it! )
Something tells me this is the usual NonStickForTheFirstYearOrTwoThenItStopsBeingNonStick-NoMatterHowCarefulYouAreWithIt technology I’m all too familiar with.

I got off the non stick boat a few years back and switched to regular ol’ stainless steel and cooking spray. Best advice I ever got. And my pans will last forever.
@marclove Yup. Sometimes the food still sticks a little but with stainless steel, you can scrape it off or scrub it out with a steel wool soap pad. Try that with a non-stick pan.
@5in1k That’s what I came here to say. If you’re going to put non stick crap on it then why not at least make it out of something that conducts the heat more evenly, or weighs less! The whole advantage of stainless steel is that it’s pretty good as both the main material and the cooking surface, so it doesn’t fall apart. Once you combine it with something else, you’ve made it worse than combining two more specialized materials. (Plus, in this case, more expensive!)
@5in1k@ravenblack Stainless provides a durable, attractive outer layer. The aluminum disk on the bottom distributes the heat the same as tri-ply, at least across the bottom of the pan.
I am the very model of a modern no stick chemical
My composition was designed by PHDs alchemical
I’m really good with omlettes and I know my non stick history
From Dupont to Chemours… why they changed names is no mystery.
I’m very well acquainted, too with managing carcinogens
My products only rarely tend to curdle up one’s intestines
Regarding liability, you’ll also find that nothing sticks
My rabid team of lawyers forms a wall that’s very wide and thick.

As the ultimate reviewer, I’m gonna pan this offer…
@eeterrific What a crock!
@eeterrific You demonstrate superb skillet reviewing.

@Vitanima but it’s not 170, it’s… oh…
So what type of non-stick coating is it?
@davidgro PTFE

@davidgro @Tamdrik It’s not ceramic. It’s PTFE. Google it.

@HankB33 @Tamdrik Yeah, I kinda don’t blame them for trying to hide it either.
Who needs non-stick pots?
I got a nice set of Cuisinart tri-ply cookware for around this price.
I was going to ask who would pay so much for Infomercial nonstick cookware, but I guess the answer is not many people, or they wouldn’t be here.
Quality write-up tonight
NeverStick sounds like a challenge, that I don’t want to take.

@awk Yep. BTDT. Way too many times. PTFE gonna shred if you wave a sharp metal edge at it, or poke hard enough with a rounded one.

@awk @Tamdrik Google it.
@awk @Tamdrik @werehatrack Is there an echo in here?
@awk @blaineg A double echo, it appears.
How about some NeverStain Stickless Steel cookware?

@marclove @Trinityscrew Barkeeper’s Friend is your friend for cleaning stainless steel.
What is the point of it being stainless if its non stick coated. I hate non stick pans, if I can’t use a metal utensil its pure garbage.
@5in1k Yeah, how many times do peple have to be scammed by claims of PTFE that’s okay for metal before they figure it out?

These can’t be real Ninja pans. I can see them.
@blaineg Best comment so far IMO.
I love the Floor Police! It has the cleaning power I crave!
@Trinityscrew These pans must be good — even that joke doesn’t stick anymore.

“Double-riveted for strength and maneuverability”
Wouldn’t a single rivet make them more maneuverable? Like if it’s swinging around on one screw, that’s more movement however less functional.
