FAQs
What kind of cooking utensils can I use with the Ninja ZEROSTICK saucepan?
While Ninja ZEROSTICK is highly durable, it is strongly recommended to use silicone, wooden, or plastic utensils to best preserve the non-stick coating and extend its lifespan. Metal utensils can potentially scratch the surface over time.
Is this saucepan induction compatible?
Info needed: Please check the product manual or manufacturer's specifications for definitive induction compatibility for this specific 18cm saucepan (C60218UK). The base material often dictates this, and while stainless steel can be induction-ready, it's not always guaranteed without specific branding.
How do I clean the Ninja ZEROSTICK saucepan?
Allow the pan to cool completely before washing. Hand wash with warm, soapy water using a soft sponge or cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or steel wool, which can damage the non-stick surface and exterior finish.
Is the saucepan oven safe?
Info needed: The oven safety of this saucepan, including its lid, depends on the materials and construction. Please refer to your product manual for the maximum oven-safe temperature for both the pan and its lid.
Can I put this saucepan in the dishwasher?
Info needed: While some cookware is dishwasher safe, hand washing is generally recommended for non-stick pans to help maintain the integrity of the coating and the appearance of the stainless steel. Consult your product manual for official dishwasher compatibility.
What is the 10-year guarantee on ZEROSTICK?
The 10-year guarantee covers the ZEROSTICK coating against chipping, flaking, and peeling under normal household use and following care instructions. This provides long-term peace of mind regarding the pan's non-stick performance.
Troubleshooting
Food is sticking to the pan.
Ensure the pan is preheated properly before adding food and a small amount of cooking fat. Avoid using extremely high heat, which can sometimes cause sticking even with non-stick coatings. Make sure no abrasive utensils have been used previously.
Pan exterior or interior is discolored.
High heat can sometimes cause slight discoloration on stainless steel. For food residue discoloration, try a solution of baking soda and water or a specialized stainless steel cleaner. Always ensure the pan is clean and dry before storage to prevent water spots.
Lid does not fit properly or is loose.
Check if there's any food residue around the rim of the pan or lid that might be preventing a tight seal. Ensure the lid is correctly aligned with the pan. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
Handles become too hot during use.
While cast stainless steel handles are designed to stay cooler than the pan body, prolonged high heat exposure or direct flame contact (on gas hobs) can make them hot. Use oven mitts or a pot holder as a precaution when handling a hot pan. Adjust flame size on gas hobs so it does not extend up the sides of the pan.

Dishwasher Safe: Info needed: *Is this saucepan dishwasher safe? While it might be, hand washing is often recommended for the longevity of non-stick coatings and overall appearance.*
Care and Maintenance:
Cleaning: Allow the pan to cool completely before washing. Hand wash with warm, soapy water using a soft sponge or cloth. For stubborn residue, soak the pan in warm water before cleaning.

Storage: When storing, place a pan protector or a soft cloth between pans if stacking to prevent scratches on the non-stick surface or exterior.
