Your Ninja ZEROSTICK Essentials 18cm Saucepan is designed to be a reliable workhorse in your kitchen. The ZEROSTICK coating means food genuinely slides off with ease, allowing you to use less oil and simplifying both cooking and cleanup. Whether you're simmering a rich tomato sauce, preparing a creamy one-pan pasta, boiling potatoes for mashing, or crafting delicate custards and caramels, this saucepan delivers consistent results.
Its induction compatibility extends its utility to a wide range of kitchens, though it's important to match the pan's 13cm induction ring size to your hob for effective heating. The ability to transition from hob to oven (up to 260°C) is a significant advantage, letting you brown toppings on dishes like mac and cheese or simply keep food warm without transferring it to another dish. The durable construction ensures even heat distribution, helping to prevent hot spots and ensuring your ingredients cook uniformly.
Initial Setup:
Unpack your new Ninja ZEROSTICK Essentials Saucepan and its lid.
Before first use, wash the saucepan and lid thoroughly with warm soapy water, then rinse and dry completely.
Compatibility:
Hob Types: Compatible with all major hob types: induction, gas, electric, and ceramic.
Oven Safety: Oven safe up to 260°C (including the glass lid), allowing you to start dishes on the hob and finish them in the oven.
Induction Hob Users: This 18cm saucepan is suitable for a 13cm induction ring. For best performance, always ensure the pan base matches the size of the hob ring. If the pan base is smaller than the hob ring, your induction hob may not recognize it.
Utensils: Designed to be metal-utensil safe. While durable, using silicone, wood, or plastic utensils can further extend the life of your coating.
Care & Maintenance:
Cleaning: The saucepan and lid are dishwasher safe for easy cleaning. For hand washing, use warm, soapy water and a non-abrasive sponge or cloth. Avoid harsh scourers or abrasive cleaners to protect the coating.
Storage: When stacking, place a paper towel or soft cloth between pans to prevent potential scratching, although the coating is scratch-resistant.
Heat: Avoid extreme temperature changes, such as plunging a hot pan into cold water, which can potentially warp the pan over time.
