The chef’s knife is better, which admittedly is not saying much. It’s very rocky and lightweight. I prefer a heavier knife, especially considering how slippery the handle feels. But I was able to slice through my pile of chives, plus garlic and onions. That’s the best assessment I can give: I was able to use this knife to cut things. Did I mention that my beloved Kiwi cleaver costs $15?
One Reddit user mentioned that the knives leach color, which I’m not surprised about, given my aforementioned “these are basically children’s toys” note. (Chefs on the subreddit have echoed my sentiments.)
Paris Hilton Nonstick Cookware Set: That’s Hot
This Paris Hilton cookware set would’ve been the perfect gift for me when I got my first apartment. Unfortunately, that was 10 years ago. (Stay tuned for our buying guide for nonstick pans, which will be published soon!)
The exact set that I tested is no longer available online, but a very similar version exists that includes the same main pots and pans. (Which is probably a good thing, because my set came with nylon tools that were not as heat-safe as they should be, and the new set includes silicone versions.)
The pots and pans are very, very cute, with a glittery ceramic nonstick coating, a pink body, and gold, heart-shaped handles on the lids. The nonstick performed well. (The manufacturer recommends using low or medium heat, but I tested on high, too.) Eggs released without a trace, and melted American cheese was easy to scrape away.
I did notice some scuffing on the bottom of the pan after shuffling it around my gas stove burner, but the finish stayed intact.
The handles stayed cool to the touch, but they’re a little hard to grip. Every pan is on the lightweight side, and they aren’t oven-safe. The product page advertises that they’re easy to clean in the dishwasher, but you shouldn’t put nonstick pans through the dishwasher! Hand-clean and dry them to preserve the coating for as long as possible. According to the manufacturer, the pans are made “without PFAS, PFOA, PFOS & PTFE.”

![‘Ninja Scroll’ Is Slashing Back to Theaters in October
The 1993 samurai anime film Ninja Scroll is coming back with a limited theatrical run this fall. Per IGN, Iconic Events and AMC are teaming for a re-release on October 4, 5, and 7. (At time of writing, it’s exclusively locked to North America.) The remastered version will play its original 35mm negatives in 4K using a process that “repairs any damage and [performs] color correction to create an archival-quality digital master of the film.” Directed and written by Yoshiaki Kawajiri and created by Animate Film, Ninja Scroll tells the story of mercenary swordsman Kibagamei Jubei. Set in feudal Japan, Jubei is tasked with killing the Eight Devils of Kimon, supernatural ninjas aiming to take over the Tokugawa shogunate. Praised for its animation and action, the film was highly regarded when it came out and is considered a great contributor (alongside Akira and Ghost in the Shell) to adult anime’s popularity in the West. (That’s at least true for the Wachowskis, who cited the film as a big influence on The Matrix, and later brought on Kawajiri to direct and write two segments of The Animatrix.) [embed]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jrfUIekIpEA[/embed] In the years since Ninja Scroll’s release, it’s become a bit of a franchise unto itself: it had a standalone sequel series in 2003 and a 12-issue miniseries in 2006 by J. Torres and Michael Chang Ting Yu.
Animation studio Madhouse announced a sequel in 2008 helmed by Kawajiri that stalled out, and that same year saw Warner Bros. announce a live-action movie that also didn’t go anywhere. (Oh, noooooo, that’s sooooooo sad.) Tickets for the Ninja Scroll re-release will go on sale in the coming weeks. Want more io9 news? Check out when to expect the latest Marvel, Star Wars, and Star Trek releases, what’s next for the DC Universe on film and TV, and everything you need to know about the future of Doctor Who. #Ninja #Scroll #Slashing #Theaters #OctoberNinja Scroll,Yoshiaki Kawajiri](https://i0.wp.com/gizmodo.com/app/uploads/2026/06/ninja-scroll-hed-1280x853.jpg?ssl=1 "‘Ninja Scroll’ Is Slashing Back to Theaters in October
