Ninja ZEROSTICK Ceramic Pro 28 cm Frying Pan – Black CW30028UK

The real selling point of this pan isn't the non-stick coating — it's the 285°C heat tolerance. Most ceramic pans top out around 230–240°C, which means they buckle under the kind of high-heat searing that gives a steak or salmon fillet a proper crust. This Ninja holds its performance at temperatures where cheaper ceramics start to degrade, making it a credible choice for anyone who actually pushes a pan hard rather than just reheating soup.

Who Is This For?

This pan suits the home cook who wants to ditch PTFE-based non-stick but doesn't want to sacrifice heat performance in the trade-off. It's especially well-suited to people cooking proteins that need a quick, fierce sear — think chicken thighs, scallops, or a piece of halloumi. The dishwasher-safe, recycled aluminium build also makes it attractive to those who care about easier clean-up and lower-impact materials. If you're a committed cast-iron or stainless steel cook who actually enjoys seasoning and maintenance, this isn't your pan.

What Buyers Say

Owners consistently praise the initial release of the coating — food lifts cleanly in a way that surprises people used to older ceramic pans. The heat distribution across the base gets specific mentions for being even without hotspots. The most common gripe, and it's worth taking seriously, is longevity: some owners report the ceramic coating showing wear after six to twelve months of regular use, particularly if metal utensils have been used despite guidance against it. It's a strong starter pan, but not necessarily a forever pan.
