Review on Ninja C62200 Foodi NeverStick Stainless Steel Fry Pan Set - 10.25 & 12-Inch, Oven Safe To 500°F! by Deron Altman

I cook almost exclusively in cast iron since the old nonstick coating issues came up. I only recently have started using nonstick again and had bought an excellent smooth surfaced non stick pan for morning eggs and tomato cooking (the tomato acid is not good for cast iron) recommended by a top cooking test kitchen. I love that pan. These Ninja pans are a different type of coating that is not smooth. The non stick coating has a, dare I say, rough surface. This surface for cooking a no oil or butter egg makes it difficult for me to get a just barely cooked egg white without browning. There is also some sticking. The pans work well for browning and cooking meats and seafood. The Ninja surface gives a crisp and nice looking browned appearance to foods. The pans clean easily even when things do stick. Preheating the pans up seems to be even more important for these than even with cast iron. The pans are very well made and have a nice weight and heat distribution. The handles and rivets are finished nicely.
