NINJACW202CP Foodi NeverStick PossiblePot, Premium Set with 7-Quart Capacity Pot, Roasting Rack, Glass Lid & Integrated Spoon, Nonstick, Durable & Oven Safe to 500°F, Smoked Paprika

If you don't read the rest of my excellent review, that's fine with me. But please, you need this one takeaway: All but one of the reviews I read were apparently vine-related. There is one common thread of outrage, that you can't pre-heat the pot for more than 3 minutes. Because of that, I pored over every bit of literature which came with this pot. To be clear: Do not pre-heat the pot, *ON HIGH*, *EMPTY*, for more than 3 minutes. What makes me laugh is that this doesn't apply to this specific pot or even any pot, or pan, THIS APPLIES IN GENERAL AND IF YOU EXPECT OTHERWISE YOU'RE A TERRIBLE COOK!!!!So, my job offers perks like random Visa gift cards (I know, you jellies) and stuff. I do not have any affiliation with Vine. I have full affiliation with free money, and the fact that I needed to replace a beat-up old 8 quart stock pot. And I found this beautiful expensive monstrosity.I vowed I would not write a review until I tried it out on one of my favorite recipes. In this case, beef stew.Before this even arrived, I was thinking "I can dredge and sear the beef, then sautee the garlic and onions, then add the beef back in and get my stew on in only one pan!" Well, I could not. This is not the fault of the pan. The reason I need a pan with a capacity of at least 8 quarts should have been hint enough, but in case it's not:My beef stew recipe includes 3 pounds of boneless chuck steak, cut into like 1-inch cubes. I have a 15-inch skillet, or I have this pan (I mean, I have other pans, those were the options stew-wise). Using the 15-inch skillet, 3, MAYYYYYBE 4 batches (It was 3). You can't crowd the pan. You can't scorch the beef. Never scorch the beef for a beef stew.If I wanted to use the Ninja pot to do that? Easily 8 batches. Again, NOT the fault of the pot. I make recipes LARGE. And I'm kind of lazy, I could have stuck with the 1 pan but meh, smaller batches and more time.The stew is amazing (duh, 9 quarts, still eating it). I did not preheat the pan on high for more than 3 minutes while the pan was empty, AND the nonstick coating miraculously failed to flake off and kill me. The literature says I can use metal utensils except for things like knives (or drills), but I don't use metal cooking utensils beyond sieves and the hand potato masher. Wood and silicone, why risk altering the taste of what you're cooking?Anyway: Not a Vine reviewer, YES I essentially got this for free, but 2 things to consider: I could have used that free money for anything, and I used it for this. Also, I would have saved up to get this if I hadn't had a windfall.Edit because I did intend to have this in the original review, plus an update: The multi tool/ glorified ladle does not lock into the lid. On one hand, I'm thankful for that. I don't need it to lock into the lid. On the other hand, why make this useless feature with a 'tab a into slot b' option for the glorified ladel? I keep it in my utensil well and while I'm cooking, if I use it I throw it on the spoon-shaped thing I keep on the stovetop for that purpose. Otherwise, when I want to lift the lid, I'd have to remove the utensil, and, I dunno, maybe place it on a spoon-shaped thing on my stovetop so I don't drip stuff everywhere. Le sigh. So, I ran an intentional abuse experiment. I took a spoonful (small spoonful, this is some amazing stew, and you can bet there was no beef or vegetables in that small spoonful), threw it in the washed pot, heated it (didn't preheat the pan, didn't go to high heat, was on medium-low), stirred it but basically deliberately burned the spoonful. Let it sit for 3 days (don't judge me, I already feel dirty enough running this experiment). That hot mess, 3 days later, LEAPT out of the pan and into the trash bag. I promise upon all that is good and chocolatey in nature, I've never seen any non-stick pan/ pot/ whatever do that. There was no scrubbing, it was a simple soapy sponge hand wash situation (I went into this vowing never to throw this thing into the dishwasher anyway), so I'm even more glad about this purchase.

The NINJA Foodi NeverStick PossiblePan Dutch Oven Pot is absolutely amazing! I've used it for several months and sometimes several times a day. The food I cook/bake in it always tastes fresh and browns evenly. I've baked with this pan and sautéed veggies, steamed veggies, stuffing, soups, stews, and various meats, etc... you name it I've made it in it, baked in it, or heated leftover food in it. Never sticks and cooks evenly every single time. I baked a whole chicken a few times in this pot. The chicken came out so juicy and tender!The pot is heavy -but, not as heavy as my old cast iron skillets or my cast iron Dutch Oven. It's so easy to clean and use!!I bought the olive-green color, and it doesn't have a scratch on it (inside or outside) and has held up to all cooking and dishwashing. I don't use a dishwasher, so I have no clue how it holds up in one. The color is true to the image.My pot/rack/lid all looks as perfect as the day I purchased it months ago.I also absolutely love the spoon/ladle that came with the Dutch Oven/rack/lid set. I wish I could get a complete set of these utensils. The utensils are very sturdy but not TOO big to use or too heavy. It's perfect! Finally, I have a great spatula and spoon/ladle again (I purchased the never-stick possible skillet at the same time I purchased this pot set) Both came with a utensil. Pot came with spoon/ladle and skillet came with a spatula. I have used both sets pretty regularly as well. I've made stews, soups, beans, whole chicken and pastas in the Dutch Oven.I also purchased the Ninja C30020 Foodi NeverStick Premium 8-Inch Fry Pan, Hard-Anodized, Nonstick, Durable & Oven Safe to 500°F, Slate Grey. Unfortunately, this skillet did not come in the olive-green color. I've used this skillet daily (sometimes more than once daily) and it is still in perfect condition. Do not use steel utensils with this pan. I haven't baked in this skillet just used it for small meals or frying eggs on the stovetop.I highly recommend the Ninja CW102GN Foodi NeverStick Possible Dutch Oven: Premium Set 7-Quart Capacity Pot, removable Roasting Rack, Glass Lid & Integrated Spoon, Nonstick, Durable & Oven Safe to 500°F, Olive Green color.I should mention that I did not bake at 500 degrees so I have no clue how it would truly hold up at that temperature. The highest temperature I baked the pot in was 425 degrees. It held up just fine each time. I also used the lid a few times at that temperature with no issues.I have purchased the NINJA 8" foodie never-stick possible skillet as well. It does not come with a lid or utensil. I am so glad I purchased it -it's perfect for eggs or smaller patties or meals/sauces. this brand lives up to its name. They did not have that pan in the olive-green, so I purchased the black/gray color. Like the other possible pans/skillets/pots I purchased -it has held up incredibly well with daily use.

Great value and I love this versatile cooking vessel. Fry, sauté, boil, roast, etc. reducing the need for multiple pans/pots when cooking a meal. Nothing sticks, clean up is a breeze!

I loved mine so much, I bought this as a gift for college grad. She loved it. It's just the right size for all cooking desires.

I have been looking to replace my Dutch oven for months now but just couldn't find exactly what I wanted. I happened to buy a Ninja frying pan that I loved so decided to look for a Ninja Dutch oven. I am so glad I bought this pan. I have never had a pan that cleans so easily. It is also so much lighter than my cast iron Dutch oven that it replaced. I use a lot less cooking oil too. I have been using it nonstop since I bought it and have not had a problem. I would recommend reading all the instructions before buying or using. The instructions say to heat up the pan before starting to cook and never use aerosol sprays. Also, at temps between 400 F and 500 F the lid can only be in the over for 30 minutes.
