Ninja Takes on Caraway With Cheaper, ‘More Durable’ Ceramic Cookware

One thing about Ninja, the company is going to keep its customer base happy with new release after new release. On the heels of launching its first water filter, the HydraSense, Ninja’s first-ever ceramic-coated cookware is now available, too.

The cookware is dishwasher-safe and oven-safe up to 550 degrees Fahrenheit. The pieces are stackable for easy storage, and the handles on the lids can be pushed down to save even more space. Ninja says the ceramic cookware is twice as durable as competitor Caraway, but the company didn’t share what type of testing, if any, was conducted to support that claim. We also haven’t gotten our hands on the Ninja NeverQuit lineup yet to independently test its durability or do a side-by-side comparison with Caraway or other ceramic cookware.

However, Ninja’s new cookware is more affordable than Caraway. The NeverQuit three-piece frying pan set is $250 while Caraway’s three frying pans with lids set is currently available for $395.

Ceramic-coated cookware is often favored because it’s nonstick, easy to clean and can be made without chemicals typically used in non-stick cookware, such as PTFE (Teflon). Ninja says the NeverQuit coating is “designed without lead, cadmium, PFAS, PFOA, PTFE or hard anodization.”

It is available in a three-, six- or 12-piece set. The 12-piece set includes 8-inch and 10.25-inch frying pans, a 4-quart pan with lid, a steamer basket, a spatula, a pasta ladle, a 6-quart stock pot with lid, a 6-quart metal strainer basket and a spoon rest.

Ninja also teased an upcoming stainless-steel cookware line named “Ninja Eversear,” but hasn’t announced a launch date just yet.
