The Ninja ZEROSTICK Stainless Steel Frying Pan 28cm excels in daily cooking scenarios, offering a seamless experience from start to finish. Its core strength lies in its unparalleled non-stick performance combined with the durability of stainless steel.

Sautéing vegetables
Frying eggs and omelettes

Making stir-fries
While the ZEROSTICK coating is incredibly tough, following best practices will ensure its maximum lifespan:
Preheating: Always preheat the pan gradually over medium heat. This allows the pan to heat evenly and helps prevent warping.
Oil/Fat Usage: While non-stick, a small amount of oil or butter is recommended for best cooking results and to help build flavour.
Utensils: Though robust, silicone, wooden, or plastic utensils are generally recommended over metal to further protect the cooking surface, even with the ZEROSTICK technology.
Temperature Control: Avoid excessively high heat, especially when the pan is empty. Medium heat is usually sufficient for most cooking tasks.
Unpack: Remove all packaging and labels from the pan.
Wash: Before first use, wash the pan thoroughly with warm soapy water using a soft sponge or cloth. Rinse well and dry completely.
Seasoning (Optional but Recommended): Although ZEROSTICK doesn't require traditional seasoning, a light initial seasoning can enhance performance. Heat the pan over low-medium heat for 30-60 seconds, then add a teaspoon of high smoke point oil (e.g., vegetable, canola). Swirl to coat the entire cooking surface. Let it cool, then wipe out any excess oil with a paper towel.
Cooktops: This pan is compatible with all hob types, including induction, gas, electric, and ceramic hobs.
Oven Safe: Info needed: Maximum oven safe temperature for the pan, including the handle. (Often, stainless steel pans are oven safe to high temperatures).
Proper care will extend the life and performance of your Ninja ZEROSTICK frying pan:
Cleaning: Allow the pan to cool completely before washing. While it is dishwasher safe, hand washing with warm, soapy water and a non-abrasive sponge is recommended for best results and to preserve the longevity of the non-stick coating and exterior finish.
Stubborn Residue: For stubborn food residue, soak the pan in warm, soapy water for 15-20 minutes before gently scrubbing.
Storage: Store pans carefully to prevent scratching the non-stick surface. Consider using pan protectors or a cloth between stacked pans.
