Ninja ZEROSTICK Ceramic Pro 28 cm Frying Pan – Black

Ceramic cookware earns its keep in one specific situation: high-heat searing without the toxic fume concerns associated with traditional non-stick coatings. Ninja's ZEROSTICK Ceramic Pro handles temperatures up to 285°C, which means it can go from hob to oven mid-cook without a second thought — a genuinely useful capability when finishing a chicken thigh or caramelising a sauce. The recycled aluminium body is the real workhorse here, distributing heat evenly enough to prevent the hot-spot scorching that undermines cheaper ceramic pans and ruins an otherwise decent omelette.

Who Is This For?

This pan suits the home cook who wants to move away from PTFE-based non-stick but has been burned (sometimes literally) by flimsy ceramic alternatives that lose their release properties within a year. If you cook on induction, check compatibility before buying — not all versions of this range are induction-ready, and the product listing is worth reading carefully. Anyone content with a solid budget non-stick pan who rarely cooks above medium heat won't get meaningful value from the step up in price.

What Buyers Say

Owners consistently praise the food release on this pan, particularly for eggs and fish, and the scratch-resistant surface holds up better than expected against metal utensils — within reason. The most repeated complaint is that the ceramic coating, like all ceramic non-stick, requires more care with oils than traditional PTFE pans; cooking spray in particular degrades the surface faster than expected, and several buyers noted performance declining after around 18 months of daily use.

The Deal

At £44.99, reduced from £69.99, you're saving £25 — a 36% reduction. This product is newly tracked on The Daily Find, so there's no long-term price history to draw on yet, but the current rate sits at the lower end of where Ninja ceramic pans typically trade, and is worth acting on if you're already in the market.

A solid pan at a fair price — just go in knowing ceramic needs a little more care than the marketing suggests.
