Ninja ZEROSTICK Ceramic Pro 18 cm Saucepan – Black

Ceramic non-stick surfaces have a reputation for degrading fast under high heat, but Ninja's ZEROSTICK Ceramic Pro is built around a 285°C heat tolerance that puts it well above most ceramic competitors — meaning you can actually sear and reduce sauces without the coating breaking down within a year. The 100% recycled aluminium body is the real workhorse here, distributing heat evenly so you're not chasing hot spots around an 18cm base while trying to nail a béchamel or a delicate reduction.

Who Is This For?

This is a strong pick for home cooks who've been burned (metaphorically) by cheap ceramic pans that lost their non-stick properties after a few months and want something that will actually last through daily use. It suits anyone cooking for one or two people regularly — soups, sauces, grains, eggs — where an 18cm pan is the natural go-to size. If you're cooking for four or more and need a larger capacity, or if you're a committed stainless steel devotee who wants full control over fond development, look elsewhere.

What Buyers Say

Owners of Ninja's ceramic cookware range consistently praise the heat distribution and how confidently food releases without excessive oil, particularly for eggs and rice-based dishes. The scratch-resistant surface also earns regular mentions as holding up better than expected. The most common limitation flagged is that — like all ceramic coatings — it rewards careful maintenance; metal utensils and aggressive scrubbing will shorten its life, and some owners note the coating's longevity still falls short of a well-seasoned cast iron over the long term.

The Deal

At £44.99, down from £69.99, you're saving £25 — a 36% reduction. This product is newly tracked on our site, so there's no historical price data to confirm how often it hits this level, which means we can't yet call this a record low. That said, for a ceramic saucepan with Ninja's build quality, £44.99 is a fair entry point. Buy it for what it is — a well-engineered everyday pan — not on the assumption the price won't drop further.
