One data point: We’ve had the Ninja Foodi NeverStick pans for a few years, and they’ve served us well: Ninja Foodi NeverStick Prem 12-Piece Set | SharkNinja

The only scratches are on the rims, where the lids frequently go on and off:

They’ve otherwise been wonderful. We put them in the dishwasher all the time. They’re also easy to hand-clean. We don’t use metal on them at all, only wood and plastic/silicone. We don’t stack them on each other, but dangle them for air-drying. A family member’s set was stacked on themselves and that DID get very scratched.

They were originally from Costco, but I don’t think Costco sells them any longer. Reviews are mixed. Good on Amazon, but poor on their own website, with many reports of pitting and peeling.

I think they were originally $200 when I bought a 10-piece set a few years ago, but it looks like the price has gone up quite a bit since then. I would not consider these high-end pans by any stretch, just “good enough”. I’d buy them again, but mostly because I hate cleaning stainless steel and cast iron is too heavy for my weak sissy arms. The nonstick coating will probably eventually give us cancer too, but what wouldn’t…
