What the testers found
Reviewed: "we were impressed." Its "slick nonstick interior" releases "delicate eggs and sticky sauces with minimal oil and effort," it heats evenly and gave "an even sear." It's ceramic nonstick, not metal-utensil safe like the HexClad, and oven safe to 550°F rather than 900°F. Ninja claims the coating lasts five years of regular use.
