We love non-stick pots and pans for holiday meal prep because they make cleanup a breeze. What we don’t love? Non-stick coatings that peel, flake and chip before they see next year’s festivities. Ninja™ Foodi™ NeverStick™ cookware not only never sticks but also never chips or flakes. Did we mention it’s oven safe up to 500°F!? Perfect for your festive cooking needs, the 10-piece set is a winner in our (cook)books.
Don’t cry over spilt milk (or gravy)
