NinjaC30020 Foodi NeverStick Premium 8-Inch Fry Pan, Hard-Anodized, Nonstick, Durable & Oven Safe to 500°F, Slate Grey

I have been using cheap $20 square griddle pans from the grocery store and having to replace them every couple years. The Ninja Premium Square Griddle Pan is night and day better - at everything. First of all, it comes in some smart packaging that protects it during transit.Out of the package you immediately notice the weight difference vs the cheaper pans. It has a much thicker base suited for stovetop to oven. Plus they designed it to work with induction cooktops, making it super-versatile.The smooth ergonomic handle is designed to stay cool during cook time, and has a convenient hole in the end for hanging.After the initial recommended cleaning with soap and water, the first item cooked was of course a grilled cheese! I followed the directions letting the pan heat up before adding any food. I was amazed at how evenly it cooks. The cheapie pans got really hot and would burn the food if you didn't pay attention.I used the same exact temperature setting (I have a gas stove) and the cook was consistent with no hot spots.After the pan cooled, cleanup was as simple as wiping it clean.For as much as we use this type of pan, the upgrade was completely worth it.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:This is the best pan I've ever had. I'm not exaggerating, folks this is the only pan you will ever need. When they say is non-stick it is really non stick. It is sturdy, the heat distributes evenly. I'm literally flabbergasted by this pan. I know Ninja produces amazing products but this goes far beyond my expectations.

My favorite pan in the entire cupboard. I use this every day. You can use metal spatulas and it doesn't scratch. It's easy to clean. It's a good size for my needs. It's solid but not too heavy, and works on an induction burner.

most amazing pan I've ever had. It is true that it never sticks. Cleaning it was also easy as I am uncertain it will resist an abrasive element and I'm not risking it for scratches.

I wish I knew about Ninja frying pans, before I bought the two Le Creuset frying pans. I will be buying more Ninja frying pans! They really do cook a lot better! The clean up is so easy!

This said it is compatible with induction cooktops. But it came with a metal disk built into the bottom, which means when you cook on an induction cooktop you get a hot circle. The corners don't heat as much. It says to heat it for five minutes before cooking, which I did. I set my induction cooker to 220 degrees, heated it, then put in the beaten eggs. They burned, which means the pan somehow confused the sensor on my induction cooker. Other than that it is a good pan. I will keep it for use on a gas stove. But for induction I ordered a SENSARTE Nonstick Crepe Pan, which I know works great with induction (even though it has the same ferris metal circle bonded to its bottom).

I was hesitant at first because of the price, but after using it, I completely understand why it costs more. The non-stick surface works perfectly, and cleaning it is a breeze. It’s heavy duty and feels like excellent quality.

this pan is great! Very durable and sturdy. I use metal utensils, however, I do not wash in the dishwasher even though they say that you can. After months of daily use, it still looks brand new.
