The Ninja Extended Life Ceramic Saucepan is engineered for diverse cooking needs, offering consistent performance whether you're simmering, searing, or boiling. Its CeramicLock coating ensures excellent food release, allowing you to cook with little to no oil, which is ideal for healthier meal preparation. For example, you can prepare a full English fry-up with minimal grease, or sear meats for stews without ingredients sticking to the bottom.
This saucepan is perfect for:
Sauces and Gravies: Its 20cm size is ideal for preparing individual portions or small batches of sauces.
Hearty Stews and Casseroles: The deep design accommodates simmering longer-cooking dishes, transitioning seamlessly from hob to oven for braising.
Curries and Rice Dishes: Excellent for creating vibrant curries or even smaller paellas, where even heat distribution and non-stick properties prevent burning and sticking.
Boiling and Blanching: Quickly boils water for pasta or vegetables, and its non-stick surface makes cleanup easy even with starchy foods.
Preheat Properly: Allow the pan to preheat for a minute or two on medium heat before adding ingredients for best non-stick results.
Use Appropriate Heat: While oven safe up to 285°C, using medium to medium-high heat on the hob is usually sufficient for most cooking, preserving the non-stick coating.
Utilize the Glass Lid: The glass lid helps to trap heat and moisture, speeding up cooking times and ensuring more tender results for stews and curries.
Setup:
Unpack: Remove all packaging and labels from the saucepan and lid.
Initial Wash: Before first use, wash the saucepan and lid thoroughly with warm soapy water. Rinse and dry completely.
Compatibility:
Hob Types: Compatible with all major hob types: induction, gas, electric, and ceramic.
Oven Use: Safe for use in ovens up to a maximum temperature of 285°C. Ensure the handle is secure before transferring to the oven.
Care Instructions:
Cleaning: The saucepan is dishwasher safe for convenience. However, for maximum longevity of the non-stick coating and to preserve its appearance, handwashing with warm soapy water and a soft sponge is recommended. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scourers.
Utensils: Use nylon, silicone, or wooden utensils to protect the non-stick surface. While the coating is durable, metal utensils can cause scratches over time.
Storage: To prevent scratching the non-stick surface during storage, place a soft cloth or pan protector between pans if stacking.
Heat Management: Avoid using extremely high heat, especially when the pan is empty. Overheating can reduce the effectiveness and lifespan of the non-stick coating. Allow the pan to cool completely before washing.
