That&#8217;s the burning question at the center of this proposed class action lawsuit, which claims the advertising for SharkNinja&#8217;s nonstick cookware violates the laws of physics and thermodynamics. From a report: While SharkNinja is the company best known for its Shark robovacs and Ninja kitchen gadget, this lawsuit takes issue with the Ninja NeverStick Premium Cookware collection, a line of pots and pans it advertises as having superior nonsticking and nonflaking qualities thanks to its manufacturing process. <\/p>\n<p>Instead of making its pans at a measly 900-degree temperature that other brands use, SharkNinja says it heats up the cookware to a maximum of 30,000 degrees Fahrenheit. That process, according to SharkNinja, fuses &#8220;plasma ceramic particles&#8221; to the surface of the pan, &#8220;creating a super-hard, textured surface that interlocks with our exclusive coating for a superior bond.&#8221; But Patricia Brown, the person who filed this lawsuit, isn&#8217;t buying it. As cited in Brown&#8217;s lawsuit, NASA recently said the &#8220;surface of the Sun is a blisteringly hot 10,340 degrees Fahrenheit,&#8221; meaning SharkNinja&#8217;s manufacturing process reaches about three times that temperature.<\/p>\n<p \/>\n<div class=\"share_submission\" style=\"position:relative\">\n<a class=\"slashpop\" href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/home?status=Frying+Pan+Company+Sued+for+Claiming+Temperatures+That+Rival+the+Sun%3A+https%3A%2F%2Fscience.slashdot.org%2Fstory%2F23%2F10%2F20%2F202210%2F%3Futm_source%3Dtwitter%26utm_medium%3Dtwitter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.prime-wow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/twitter_icon_large-787.png\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a class=\"slashpop\" href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fscience.slashdot.org%2Fstory%2F23%2F10%2F20%2F202210%2Ffrying-pan-company-sued-for-claiming-temperatures-that-rival-the-sun%3Futm_source%3Dslashdot%26utm_medium%3Dfacebook\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.prime-wow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/facebook_icon_large-393.png\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/science.slashdot.org\/story\/23\/10\/20\/202210\/frying-pan-company-sued-for-claiming-temperatures-that-rival-the-sun?utm_source=rss1.0moreanon&amp;utm_medium=feed\">Read more of this story<\/a> at Slashdot.<\/p>\n<p>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\nSource: Slashdot &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/science.slashdot.org\/story\/23\/10\/20\/202210\/frying-pan-company-sued-for-claiming-temperatures-that-rival-the-sun?utm_source=rss1.0mainlinkanon&amp;utm_medium=feed\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Frying Pan Company Sued for Claiming Temperatures That Rival the Sun<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Can you heat up a pan to 30,000 degrees Fahrenheit?
