Ninja NeverStick Professional 10-1/4"

The Ninja NeverStick Professional 10-1/4" is part of the Cookware test program at Consumer Reports. In our lab tests, Frying Pans (Nonstick) models like the NeverStick Professional 10-1/4" are rated on multiple criteria, such as those listed below.

Cooking evenness: A thermal imaging camera is used to evaluate the heating evenness of the frying pan.

Nonstick food release: Nonstick food release score reflects the nonstick qualities of a pan's interior by cooking four eggs consecutively without oil. An Excellent score indicates that all four eggs slid off the pan without assistance; A Poor score indicates that scraping was needed to release any egg from the pan and some egg residue was left on the pan.

Nonstick durability: To assess nonstick durability, we intentionally abraded frying-pan surfaces with steel wool until the coating was worn through or up to 2,000 strokes. Scoring reflects the durability of the frying-pan's coating and it's nonstick quality after being abraded.
