C60000 Series Ninja™ Foodi™ NeverStick® Stainless Cookware FAQs

The handles are either 7 or 8 inches long, depending on the size of the pan.

The diameter of the top of the rim on the pan is the size fry pan you have.

The fry pans in the Essential Stainless line are the only pans with NeverStick® interior coating.  All others have a brushed stainless steel interior.

Plasma ceramic particles are fused to the surface of the pan, creating a super-hard, textured surface that interlocks with our exclusive coating for a superior bond. Plus, our coating is metal-utensil safe, dishwasher safe, and enables excellent food release.

Pans can be hand-washed or cleaned in the dishwasher once cooled.

CLEANING & CARE
Allow cookware to cool completely before washing. Never immerse a hot pan in cold water, as this may lead to irreparable warping. Always clean cookware thoroughly after use, as grease buildup over time can lead to food sticking. If you notice grease or discoloring on the stainless steel handles or stainless steel exterior, clean thoroughly with baking soda and white vinegar, then wipe with a sponge or soft cloth.

DISHWASHER
Use automatic dishwashing detergent without bleach or citrus additives. Prolonged, regular dishwashing may eventually mark or discolor your cookware.

HAND-WASHING
Use mild liquid dish soap. Abrasive pads and sponges should only be used if they are approved for use on nonstick cookware.  DO NOT use abrasive cleansers or cleaning pads not rated for nonstick cookware, as they can damage cookware.

Wait until your pan cools and soak it in warm water, then use a non-abrasive sponge or towel to remove any debris.

If cooking on a gas range, do not allow the flame to rise along the outside of the pan, as this may lead to discoloration.

If you notice grease or discoloring on the stainless steel exterior or stainless steel handles, clean thoroughly with baking soda and white vinegar, then wipe with a sponge or soft cloth.

The pans can be cleaned with white vinegar, baking soda, and a soft cloth to remove built-up grease and reduce discoloration.

Tall gas flames, grease, and abrasive cleaning (with metal wool, for example) can cause the exterior of the pan to discolor. This will not affect cooking performance, and you can try cleaning with white vinegar, baking soda, and a soft cloth to reduce discoloration.

The Ninja™ Foodi™ NeverStick®  Essential Stainless Cookware is all-range capable: gas, electric, glass-ceramic, and induction.

Never use aerosol cooking sprays. These burn at low temperatures and will leave a residue that leads to sticking.

Overheating can damage the cooking surface. High heat is never required because of the high thermal conductivity of our cookware. Use low to medium-high heat. Start with medium heat and adjust accordingly. Always place your pan on the center of the heating surface.

All utensils are safe for use, including metal utensils, such as metal spatulas, spoons, whisks, and tongs. Never use sharp instruments such as knives or forks or appliances such as electric mixers to cut, chop, or whip foods in any nonstick pan. Such use will damage the nonstick finish and void the warranty.

Overheating your pans can lead to food burning and sticking. Also, if you used an abrasive cleaning tool, it could have damaged the cooking surface and caused food to stick.

When properly preheated, NeverStick® Technology enables excellent food release without sticking. To determine if your pan is ready for use, simply add a few drops of water. If you hear a sizzle, the pan is ready for use. If not, continue preheating.

Our pans have a built-in concavity to keep them stable, and due to the hydrophobic nature of our coating, water, and other liquids will tend to move toward the edges of the pans. Also, overheating a pan or shocking a hot pan with cold water can cause irreparable warping.

We recommend storing your pans in a single layer if possible. If you need to stack your pans, place a sheet of paper towel or cloth towel in-between each pan to reduce the chances of coating damage.

The reason you could hear a noise while using your cookware on the stovetop is the lid of the cookware. Moisture can get trapped between the glass and the stainless steel rim around the glass and cause a popping/crackling/hissing sound. Or as the lid heats up and the glass and stainless steel start to expand slightly, rubbing can occur from the thermal expansion and create a noise.

Two things can happen that can cause this noise:

1. Moisture can get trapped between the glass and the stainless steel rim around the glass and cause a popping/crackling/hissing sound. This is normal and will not affect cooking performance.
2. As the lid heats up and the glass and stainless steel start to expand slightly, rubbing can occur from the thermal expansion and create noise. There is no need for concern.
