BEFORE FIRST USE
Read all instructions carefully. Wash cookware in hot, soapy water, then rinse
and dry thoroughly
USE ON THE HOB
Safe for use on gas, electric, electric coil, halogen, induction and ceramic
hobs.
Be sure to use an appropriately sized burner for the pan you are cooking with and never allow the handle to extend over the burner. If cooking on a gas range, do not allow the flame to rise along the outside of the pan, as this may lead to discolouration and cause the handle to get hot. Avoid sliding cookware on the hob, as this can lead to scratching on the surface.
PREHEAT
Preheat the pan for 2 to 3 minutes using the heat setting you intend to use
when cooking. To determine if the pan is hot enough for cooking, simply add a
few drops of water. If you hear a sizzle, the pan is readyfor use. DO NOT
rush the preheating process by using high heat. We recommend using lower
temperatures when you first begin using your cookware to avoid overcooking and
burning until you become familiar with how your pan cooks.
- Use high heat for boiling liquids and searing. Never leave an empty pan on high for more than 3 minutes as this can damage the pan and lead to sticking.
- Use medium-high heat for sautéing, frying, stir-frying and making omlettes.
- Use medium heat for reducing liquids and making pancakes and sandwiches.
- Use low heat to warm foods, simmer ingredients or prepare delicate sauce
OVEN & GRILL USE
Ninja cookware and lids are oven and grill safe to 260°C. If using cookware in
an oven at temperatures between 200°C and 260°C, do not leave lids in oven for
longer than 30 minutes. Allow lids to cool before immersing in water.
HANDLES
Our exclusively designed stainless steel handles are comfortable to hold and
securely attached with double rivets, so they won’t become loose over time.
Please note, short handles, high cooking temperatures and long cook times can
cause handles to get hot on the hob and all handles will be hot when used in
the oven.
UTENSILS
Metal utensils including spatulas, spoons, whisks and tongs are safe for use
with your Ninja Foodi ZEROSTICK cookware. Never use sharp instruments such as
knives or forks or appliances such as electric mixers to cut, chop or whip
foods in any non-stick pan. Such use will damage the non-stick finish and void
the guarantee.
CLEANING & CARE
Remove all packaging and wash cookware before first use. Allow cookware to
cool completely before washing. Never immerse a hot pan in cold water, as this
may lead to irreparable warping. Always clean cookware thoroughly after use,
as grease build-up over time can lead to food sticking.
If you notice grease or discolouring on the stainless steel handles or stainless steel induction base, clean thoroughly with bicarbonate of soda and white vinegar and then wipe with a sponge or soft cloth.
DISHWASHER
Use automatic dishwashing detergent without bleach or citrus additives.
Prolonged, regular dishwashing may eventually mark or discolour your cookware.
If regularly washed in the dishwasher, some darkening of the exterior of the
base may occur—this is normal and will not affect cooking performance.
HAND-WASHING
Use mild washing-up liquid. Abrasive pads and sponges should only be used if
they are approved for use on non-stick cookware. DO NOT use harsh cleaners or
abrasive pads for non-stick cookware as they can damage cookware.
TIPS FOR USING YOUR COOKWARE ON AN INDUCTION HOB
With an induction hob (unlike electric or ceramic) only the outer edge of the hob detects the pot or pan by means of electromagnetics. For pots and pans with induction technology to be recognised on the hob, the bottom of the pot or pan must come into contact with the outer edge of the hob ring.
In the exceptional case that your pan is not recognised by your hob, try the following:
- Place cookware on an appropriately sized hob ring
Induction technology only works effectively if the base of the cookware matches the size of the ring on the hob **(see Figure 1).
If a ring is used that is larger than the cookware, the cookware may not be
recognised and so will not heat up (see Figure 2)
**
-
Place cookware on a small ring
If you do not have a ring that matches the base of your cookware then select a smaller ring. (See Figure 3)
-
Refer to your instruction manual for your induction hob
Check which diameter of pan is suitable for which ring.
STORAGE
Hang pans on a rack or store flat in a single layer in a cupboard.
If stacking or nesting cookware, gently nest the smaller pans in the larger
ones. Using a paper towel or soft cloth in between pans can help protect the
cooking surfaces when stacking.
PRESERVING THE LIFE OF YOUR COOKWARE AND YOUR REPLACEMENT GUARANTEE
- Our cookware is designed to withstand the toughest use, but to keep it looking and performing like new, follow these guidelines:
- While our product is 100% dishwasher safe, hand-washing with a mild washing-up liquid is always best.
- Never preheat pans on high heat to speed up preheating. Excessive heat applied to an empty pan can damage the non-stick surface.
- Do not exceed 260°C on the hob or in the oven.
- Never use cooking sprays. These burn at low temperatures and will leave a residue that leads to sticking.
- Never allow cookware to boil dry.
- Never immerse a hot pan in cold water, as this may lead to irreparable warping.
- Never use sharp instruments such as knives, forks or appliances such as electric mixers.

WARNING: BURN/SCALD HAZARD. Shorter handles, high cooking temperatures and longer cooking times may cause handles to get hot. Exercise caution when cooking on the hob and always use a potholder or oven gloves to prevent burns when removing from the oven.
WARNING: FIRE HAZARD. Do not leave pots and pans unattended while cooking. Never let a pot or pan boil dry.
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD . Protective separator clips between lid and pan are small parts and hazardous to children. Discard immediately when unpacking your cookware.
