Edit - below is my original review of my experiences when starting to use this device. Since then, I've become far more familiar with how to use it - it really is a brilliant machine. It offers so much, and has totally won me over. I gave it four stars at first, but it's easily a five star rating now; I think it's great, and I totally recommend it.-----This device is causing quite a buzz in America, where it's selling out all over the place. It covers many different cooking methods - it's a pressure cooker, a steamer, a slow cooker, an air fryer as well as using conventional convection cooking to crisp meat, potatoes, and toast bread - things like that.It was all very intimidating trying it out for someone like me who has never used a pressure cooker before,or an air fryer - in fact, I've only used a slow cooker a few times many years ago.The first thing I noticed is how large it actually is - I measured it very approximately as 17"x16" width and depth, and 13" tall. It's also quite heavy for the average user to be heaving around; I would imagine it's going to have a place in the kitchen where it stays put most of the time.I thought I'd try something easy to cook first of all, so I bought a small chicken, and followed the recipe in the small booklet provided in the box.Before I could embark upon this seemingly undemanding task, I encountered a couple of problems that took up a fair amount of time to resolve - namely:1) There are two lids - one (for convection cooking) is permanently attached with hinges to the body. The second one comes separately in the box and has to be attached when needed; it has valves and performs the pressure cooking function.The cooking instructions for the chicken demanded a 22-minute stint in the pressure cooker, then a 5-minute 'crisping' using the convection lid. All I had to do was add a bit of water and a few other ingredients like garlic and salt, and I would be good to go.Or so I thought. As it turned out, I couldn't get the pressure cooker lid on, no matter how carefully I tried to follow the instructions - they were even on the lid itself, telling me to align the arrows and turn it clockwise. It just didn't seem to fit on properly! I looked it up on YouTube and the demonstrator smoothly slid it into place.After 20 minutes (by which time the chicken would have been nearly finished, I tried not to remind myself), I resorted to checking the inside of the lid - the rubber seal had not been placed in it's wire constraint properly. As soon as I put it back, the lid slid into place easily.2) I navigated the controls easily, and set the timer for the pressure cooking - it all started promisingly, but a red button on the lid failed to rise like it was supposed to, meaning that steam was constantly escaping and as a result, pressure wasn't building up.After a couple of minutes, the water I had added had evaporated (the display warned me of this, reassuringly). I cancelled the cooking, and tried to resolve this new problem. Eventually I did so by putting more water in, turning it back on and holding a tissue over the recalcitrant red button, thus blocking the steam which I think caused the pressure inside the pot to rise just enough to trigger the red button into popping up. Everything went smoothly once this had been resolved.The chicken ended up over-cooked, as there was no way to check the progress during the pressure cooking stage - but swapping lids and finishing it off with the convection 'crisping' stage was very effective. It should have taken 25 minutes which is really fast.I shall update this with my next attempts - to 'air fry' and steam things.The FOODI is actually quite easy to use once you are familiar with it. I'm not sure it's as convenient as a normal oven, but the multiple uses make it very interesting for keen cooks. I think it would be most useful in a caravan, or perhaps a holiday home without the normal cooking facilities. It comes with quite a few separate items which all have to be stored somewhere, so the whole thing ends up taking a fair amount of storage space.The pressure lid isn't dishwasher friendly, as the plastic surface is quite delicate - it's easy to scratch just through normal use. Overall it's well made, and the controls are very clearly laid out. There are tons of recipes available for it online, although if you're not used to pressure cooking it gets quite a pain to keep converting how long things are expected to take to cook - very hit and miss until you have tried things a few times.It comes with an easily-cleaned non-stick internal cooking pot (which is always used), a wire rack that can be used in two positions, and a non stick air-frying colander (these two both sit inside the cooking pot when used). There are a lot of extra you can buy, too - overall there is a lot of stuff to store, so the whole thing can end up taking a lot of storage space.If you like gadgets, you'll love it. If you don't like faffing around, you're probably better off giving it a wide berth. I think it's perfect for a caravan or somewhere that has only limited cooking facilities - it's flexible and fast once you get the hang of it, but many people will still prefer the familiarity of using the normal oven and hob to do everything.The photo includes a mug for scale.Edit 18/03/19: I selected another easy cooking project - cajun chicken wings. All I did was coat some raw wings with a tablespoon of sunflower oil, cajun spice and salt, then put them in the Foodi to 'air crisp' for 24 minutes; every 8 minutes or so, I opened it up and shook them about. They came out absolutely perfectly - see picture - I'm getting to like this machine more and more. It's a great little oven that can bake and roast, as well as all the other functions. Very tasty results!

We have been using this for over a week and we all love it. It’s also allowed me to start doing meals again from scratch after a bad patch with Fibromyalgia. It is huge (tried to show by placing can of tomatoes inside) so you need plenty of surface space and somewhere to safely store the pressure lid. You can leave it on and leave the air fryer lid up but my worry is dust would get in the top. Honestly it’s worth making space for and I’d put away my Multi pot and air fryer if I didn’t have the room for them all. This comes with a recipe book, quick start instructions and an extensive guide covering meat, fish, vegetables, rice, pasta and so much more.it is also very easy to use as without a ton of preset programmes to figure out - whilst it has default times you can change each by select function, setting and time. So far we have done a cottage pie from scratch starting with the potatoes on pressure, then the veg on sauté, add meat and stock to pressure cook again. finishing with the mashed potatoes and cheese on top and using the air fryer lid. We used a kilo pack of mince as it’s so big then next day I made wedges to go with the leftovers. The wedges (or chips) you pressure cook on low for a few minutes then add use the air fryer lid. We have used a tbsp of oil for wedges and chips but you could use less or more. We have brushed it over with a silicone brush so I’d say only half of it was used in cooking. We got perfect fluffy insides with crispy outsides. Best chips I’ve had since I lived with my parents and they made ‘proper’ chips. No more frozen chips in this house, although you can use frozen chips too. The other plate was the teriyaki Chicken recipe from the book - good starting point but I will make changes next time. I don’t like chicken (I used turkey) so the chicken stock was a bit much for me. Even so, I put rice in with stock, seasonings and stock on pressure setting with fresh turkey fillets on the high rack. Cooked perfectly then basted with teriyaki sauce and it went on grill to finish. We shredded the turkey after and stirred in. I would marinate the meat in future though. Such an easy meal to make in the Ninja. We have done Jacket potatoes a few times - my only niggle so far was the jacket recipe the instructions are wrong so we had to wing it. Next time I looked up one on the ninja uk site at they were amazing!I recently bought a top brand multi function pressure cooker but I don’t find it easy to use and they don’t come with cooking books or simple meal instructions. Instead you need to look online or download the app which means we haven’t used it as much as other gadgets. I have a great air fryer but this is a game changer as you really can make complete meals in one pot! It’s been used for cooking frozen foods etc too with great results. As we have an air fryer too we can use both to make complete meals suiting everyone (as I have Coeliac disease) without using our oven. Actually the only thing we have used our oven for since was large pizzas. Looking forward to doing a gammon and shredded beef this week. If I needed the room I’d sacrifice my multi and air fryer as this is better. As I have the room I can use them all for batch cooking on good days and freeze meals. Having a dehydrator function means I can make my own jerky too. I honestly can’t find any negatives other than the size (for some) but that’s not an issue for me. I an deeply attached to this already and I have a lot of gadgets that sound amazing when I buy them but I can live without. Without a doubt, this is my favourite kitchen addition.

Weighing 11.8kg and measuring 43cm x 36cm x 32cm, this is no lightweight! Take care when removing from packaging.Not only is this a slow cooker, it is also a pressure cooker, and can steam, grill, sauté/sear, air crisp and bake/roast! Goodness me.  On opening the box, the following items were assembled.First things first and that was reading the very detailed instruction booklet. After washing the relevant parts in hot soapy water, I was ready to cook my first meal. I decided to try Beef Casserole in the SLOW COOKER. The recipe for this will be included in a future food article on my website!I used the SEAR/SAUTÉ feature to brown the beef first and this saved using an extra pan which would have happened had I cooked the casserole in the oven.There are two settings on the slow cooker,low and high. As I was in the house all day, I cooked the casserole on HIGH for 4 hours. An additional feature is the keep Warm feature which automatically switches on when the cook time is complete. NOTE. Make sure the arrows are lined up correctly when fixing the pressure cooker lid on. Turn to VENT.  Choose Slow Cooker programme. Then apply cooking time and press start.It was very tasty and with all the flavours locked in, no nutrients were lost. Hardly any washing up either which was a bonus!My neighbour often makes soup and a lovely one to make in the PRESSURE COOKER is Parsnip and Ginger.  It only takes 10 minutes to prepare, 7 minutes to cook and then once blended is ready to serve. I will be including the recipe in a future article and will link to this one.This soup is perfect on a cold day at lunchtime and if you have crusty bread to go with it, so much the better!The STEAM function is great for cooking fresh vegetables and broccoli only takes 5-9 minutes depending on the texture you like. I prefer mine to have a 'crunch' so  I cook broccoli for 5 mins. When I cooked some for a friend the other day, she prefers hers well cooked, so I timed the cooker for 9 minutes. The broccoli was fine in taste, BUT I used the same amount of water - 275mls. This was a mistake as the water completely dispersed and left the surface of the pot singed. Fortunately no damage was done and the pot was easily cleaned. I will know for next time!Being one of my favourite vegetables as it goes with almost any dish, I steam mine to have with fish and the other advantage of cooking vegetables this way is that the odours produced from the broccoli remain in the cooker as no draining is involved.The AIR CRISP function is one that I have not come across before and so I started off with cooking chips in this. You can use frozen ones but I prefer my own. I haven't owned a deep fat frier for years, so this method is healthier and tastier!  I  used an extra virgin olive oil spray on the uncooked chips and timed the cooker for 20 minutes. The chips I cooked were not greasy at all and tasted great! The GRILL function is a great way to cook gammon, steak, bacon etc. Use the reversible rack in the higher position.The BAKE/ROAST function is the ideal way to cook  a whole chicken, a beef joint, a gammon joint etc etc and I shall be trying Teriyaki Chicken in a few days time. You will have no need for a separate Slow Cooker, Pressure Cooker, Steamer, Chip Pan or Air Fryer, so space will be freed up in the kitchen! There are many recipes on the internet for all types of cooking and I shall be trying out various recipes to cook in my Foodi. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

Pressure cookers have come a long way since the rattling, hissing high dome ones of old. No more standing waiting for it to come to pressure then fiddling with the heat source to maintain the pressure and all the time watching the clock so you don’t overcook and spoil your food. I fondly remember being terrified as a child when my aunties pressure cooker exploded with such a bang one Sunday lunch time, it showered us with boiling hot sprout water and embedded the pressure regulator weight in her ceiling ??‍♀️ Needless to say I had given pressure cookers a wide berth since then ...Firstly I was reassured to read that the ninja foodi is safe if operated correctly and has a built in safety feature preventing the lid from unlocking until the unit is completely depressurised.I was also relieved to see that the pressure release valve, although feels loose (it’s supposed to wobble) is securely embedded in the lid, and looks set to stay there.The control panel has a lot of functions inc. pressure, steam, slow cook, sear/sauté, air crisp, bake/roast & grill and I felt quite intimidated by them at first, but it really didn’t take long to familiarise myself with them and it really is easy to use after the first few times!This is a fairly big piece of equipment and while you may be initially put off with its dimensions, it is worth remembering that it replaces so many other appliances, so even though I have limited work surface space, once I’d cleared everything away (including my toaster!) I had enough room for this magnificent magical machine!Here is what I have loved about it so far:The speed of which it cooks, yes, you have to take into consideration of the time it takes to build up to pressure, but it still cooks quicker than my oven and when you consider that all you have to do is just close the lid and leave it to get on with it, leaving you free to do other things, the freedom the Ninja gives leaves you wondering how you’ve managed this long without one. Then there is the keep warm function that is automatically selected at the end of the cooking time, so if you’re not quite ready to eat your meal it can happily sit there for up to 12 hours! It is great in the summer when you don’t want the oven on giving off even more heat, it is also good for reducing cooking smells and cuts down dramatically on the washing up!The cooking pot capacity of 7.5l is also fantastic for many reasons inc; if you have a large family, for batch cooking and for being able to cook a whole meal in one go because you can layer your food using the 2 tier reversible rack, I’m excited to try this feature having only cooked using the ninja mini previously.All of the parts are removable (apart from the air crisp lid) and dishwasher safe (including the pressure cooking lid)It’s best feature for me is the air fry function. All of the foods that you can deep fry can be cooked using this function, so I get that amazing deep fried taste without all of the unhealthy oil or all of the mess! Win win!This is a truly amazing multi cooker that never ceases to amaze me and actually makes me look forward to preparing a meal! Yes it is an expensive item but I honestly think that it is worth every penny. I wasn’t an overly enthusiastic cook before I got this and I really did wonder if it would end up back in the box and in the garage with all the other gimmicky kitchen appliances I’ve bought, but I couldn’t have been more wrong. It is worth its weight in gold! :)

Like most Ninja devices I've tried this Foodi Max Electric Multi-Cooker is heavy, built like a tank and a bit over-engineered, in a good way. This model is supposedly family-sized and you would get a good size of chicken, for example, in there -- the recipe booklet usually suggests between 2.25 and 2.50kg -- but you won't get much else in there at the same time and that chicken will have to hold its breath and keep its legs tucked-in to fit. Despite the overall size of the unit the cooking space inside isn't that huge but if you're feeding a family but you get a two-tier wire tray assembly to let you cook double-decker style. You get two lids for the unit,one that's fixed and hinged and used for most functions and the other that's separate and locks into place (with the fixed lid just left open) and seals the unit for the pressure cooking function. So you not only need to figure out where the unit will be stored but also where it can be used with the lid wide open and you have find somewhere to store that extra pressure-cooker lid too.The control panel is relatively straight forward and you first select your cooking method, for example air-frying or pressure cooking, and then set the temperature and the cooking duration. There's an extensive set of charts in the recipe book that gives guidance about temperatures and times for a wide variety of foods. Once you've put your food in and selected the cooking style and settings you just press go and the unit whirs into action and it doesn't take that long to reach heat for most methods. The pressure cooking takes a bit longer because you have to build up the pressure level first, but then you save time with the actual cooking so it evens out in the end. The air-frying makes a bit of noise but it's bearable, no worse than a boiling kettle for example. It also creates a bit of external heat and steam, especially when you release the pressure from pressure-cooking through the special valve on top, so you need to position it carefully whilst in use.I've tried quite a few different foodstuffs over the past weeks but I still haven't made full use of all the possibilities and although it can take the place of some other devices you have to change your habits and head toward the Foodi Max instead of your oven or microwave. The air-frying function is great and does make the crispiest oven chips you've ever had, so there's often a good incentive to change those cooking habits. I tried the recipe in the booklet for making Herb-Roasted Chicken which pressure-cooks the chicken first with garlic, pepper and Thyme and then when cooked-through you brown it using the air-frying function. It worked really well and the chicken emerged looking just like it did in the booklet photo and was very moist and tasty - although the Thyme and garlic only gave a slight fragrant flavour rather than a full-on seasoning.If you've got the space for it the Foodi Max could become a really worthwhile kitchen device for a hungry family, if you make the effort to use it then it can deliver really tasty results that are often better than other methods. There's a bit of extra effort sometimes but it's usually worth it and the washing-up afterwards isn't that bad either. Really worth considering.

Ninja foodie is definitely a great buy. There are both pros and cons to it but the pros do out weigh the cons. I am disabled parent and it has made my life so much easier. Food not only cooks great but also cooks a lot quicker. It really is all you need, for me and my daughter I can pretty much do full meals in one go in it. It’s extremely easy to clean the pot. Nothing sticks at all, I messed up once and burnt food at the bottom as it didn’t have enough liquid yet came of easily. I would be lost without it now and barely use my cooker at all as this is far better. There is somewhat of a learning curve to it, both in using it, how to use it In general and how to get the best outcome and timing.It’s great as it cooks things amazingly quickly and far quicker than the oven. Unfortunately over cooked things a few times as miss estimated timing. Once you get use to it though you won’t want to be without. it is big, bulky and heavy, The frying lid is annoying also when it’s not needed. These things obviously are a issue even more so when you have a small kitchen. Other thing is the power lead on it is very short it meant I couldn’t put it where I wanted to and struggled for counter top space which could fit both size, lid and extra short lead. It also states you are not allowed to use extension lead with them. last con is cleaning the lid with heating element, after a while using it grease etc builds up behind the guard/ around the edge of where the heating element and fan are, when speaking to ninja and asking about cleaning there I was told you can wipe clean the guard but cannot clean the edge behind it, that Cleaning the edge behind the guard can cause damage and stop it working then if you have used a brush or something behind to clean it and something happens you loose your warranty. I’ve unfortunately had to replace mine due to a error/ fault of it saying that the pot is not in place when it is, i have seen others writing that they have experienced the same issue also. Luckily this happened just before i Was out of warranty. Literally only had a few weeks - month and I would have been out of warranty so it was quick replacement but worries me it will happen again. especially that if it happens again, but out of warranty so they won’t replace. Despite the issue I have with space I confess I took the opportunity of the replacement to upgrade to the the bigger version as although i really don’t have space in my kitchen I use it constantly and did wish whilst cooking in some instances that it was bigger, if have others here that it was bigger etc. I’m glad replacement / delivery is so quick also as it was missed when I didn’t have it/one, the ease and quickness of it. going back to using my oven had me sulking. Despite the cons I wouldn’t be without now, it’s made cooking so much easier especially with my health issues. Even after owning this for just under a year I’m still learning new things. My ninja foodie max has arrived today so will be trying that out for the first time tonight. This was available when I got my foodie, it’s a shame that not all products are available in the uk.

Until recently, I used Instant Pot as my multicooker, and I absolutely loved it. This product is similar in some ways but has an added feature of the crisping lid that allows you to grill and brown off meat and similar dishes that would otherwise look steamed or boiled when you don't necessarily want them to. Instant Pot doesn't have this feature and if you wanted to achieve the same effect, you would have to place your food into the oven for the final touches.However, Instant Pot has yogurt function, which this multicooker doesn't have. Still, I am not too disappointed in this because I don't really need a multicooker to make yogurt.In general, I liked this product: it produced results similar to Instant Pot.I found the timer a lot more accurate than Instant Pot. Where Instant Pot would say 5 minutes and, in reality, could take 10 or 15, Ninja Foodi says 5 minutes and means more or less 5 minutes excluding the time it requires to build up steam in high pressure mode. That time is a lot longer in Instant Pot.However, Ninja Foodi does have several drawbacks. It's well built but extremely bulky and would not necessarily suit smaller kitchens as it takes up quite a bit of space. The crisping lid does not detach from the multicooker and you always have to have it on when you are using the pressure lid. This means you have to find further storage for the pressure lid, which is also pretty bulky. The crisping lid also gets in the way when you are cooking. I personally would prefer it if the crisping lid was the one I could take off and store somewhere but appreciate it's difficult to achieve because it requires electricity to be powered. Still, you could somehow find a way to attach a plug to it and give us the ability to remove it. I personally would definitely find myself cooking with the pressure lid a lot more often than with the crisping lid and, hence, the preference.I would also prefer a stainless steel inner pot as it is with Instant Pot. I don't like ceramic coated pots because everything that is coated eventually gets damaged, which isn't the case with stainless steel or at least it will last longer.This aside, it's a pretty decent product. Well built, sturdy, easy to use and produces good results limited only by your imagination.You should ignore the review of the other person who said it fills your house with the smell of burning rubber. This is absolute nonsense. This person is either unable to read instructions or did something wrong because I've not experienced any funny smells from this multicooker at all. It's very easy to use and there is absolutely no funny smell coming out from it at all. The food didn't smell odd either.

This is a very premium cooker and I absolutely love it.Having never used a pressure cooker before I was interested to know just how effective they are as I do know that they are quite a big thing in the US. The claims are that the pressure cooking function reduces the cooking time and also keeps food flavoursome. Build quality of the Ninja Foodi is rock solid and all controls are intuitive and clear to use.I've included a number of photos and video of the unit cooking a chicken which I hope you will find helpful.The cooker comes with a number of instructions as well as a recipe booklet which is great to get you started. You will also notice it comes with two lids - one attached for your grilling,air crisping, baking and slow cooking. The other is detached and is required when using the pressure cooking function so you will need to store the extra lid somewhere when not in use.The first thing I cooked was a 2.5 kg chicken which has a cooking time of 1hr 50 mins on the packaging and I did it in approximately 1 hr 10 mins. The chicken was almost cooked in 40 mins after the pressure cooking part and had already started to fall off the bone but it didn't look the most appetising at that point (see photos). So I then sprayed some oil and seasoned the skin before using the fixed lid to air crisp it for a further 20 mins and then allowed it to rest for 10 minutes. The end result looked amazing and the chicken was delicious!Other things I've cooked....- Bacon and black pudding was also easy and required no oil at all when cooked in the basket using the Air Crisp function and produced lovely crispy bacon and tasty black pudding.- We cooked Lemon Salmon Filet under pressure and these were also delicious and took less time.- Finally I cooked a vegetarian spaghetti bolognese using the pressure function and throwing all the ingredients in (including the pasta) which was also great.Honestly the Ninja Foodi is so versatile and the recipe booklet as well as videos you can find online give you lots of inspiration and help.Negatives with it... Well aside from the extra space needed for the pressure lid, when you do vent the pressure you do get a lot of steam released into the kitchen so I'll normally open the windows before doing that but that really is it.This arguably could replace many of your appliances in the kitchen as it is so versatile and if I was single or just in a couple I would seriously consider it. If you are cooking for a family you may be limited by the size of the Foodi so probably can't do away with you oven.So as I said at the beginning, I love this... now if only the Ninja could master the art of microwave!

The Ninja Foodi is a pretty good all-round cooking appliance with the ability to cook in many different ways from roasting, frying, steaming, baking, slow cooking, sautéing to pressure cooking and sometimes a combination of different cooking methods.The mains lead is quite short and while the makers mention in the book that this is for safety reasons, I don’t think an extra 18 inches would make much difference to safety and it would allow me more flexibility in placing the Ninja. Under the under the extractor hood or by a window perhaps.However I think the recipes need a bit of tweaking as some items did not work out for me as written in the small recipe booklet that was included with the Ninja.I first tried the Teriyaki chicken,broccoli and rice which did not turn out as expected. Following the recipe and the timings to the letter the rice was overcooked and had become gelatinous. The chicken was quite dry, again I think due to overcooking and the broccoli was burnt. The first 2 issues were easily solved just by reducing the pressure cook time but the broccoli just did not work. I thought it was a strange idea to grill broccoli. All the heads of the florets just went brown/black and tasted gritty and burnt. I have never heard of grilling broccoli in this way before.I then tried the mustardy stew and the beef turned out very good for only 30 minutes cooking but the accompanying carrots and parsnips were very much overcooked and were akin to mush. This was rectified by cooking the beef without the vegetables and then with about 10 minutes to go I did a quick release and added the vegetables for a further 10 minutes of pressure-cooking time.My attempt at roast chicken also went a bit wrong in that the top of the chicken was beginning to burn while the area around the thighs was still a bit pink. This again was an easy remedy as I simply turned the chicken over to stop the top getting further cooked and started the cooking for a further 10 minutes and everything was fine. The thighs registered 78C on an instant read thermometer.Chips came out very good on the air fry function.I think the Ninja could be a good kitchen tool and the recipes do give inspiration but like all cooking it is the cook's job to adjust timings.The Ninja is quite heavy and bulky, especially with the 2 lids, the pressure-cooking lid detaches completely and the hinged “grill” stays attached all the time. I tend to leave mine out all the time and just put the detachable lid away in a cupboard.The Ninja is a very versatile appliance but 1 star off for the recipes and the bulkiness and also for such a short mains lead.

It was a very fast delivery and the goods arrived in good condition. I tried the recipe from the little book which accompanied the machine, total disaster. The chicken was soft after the pressure cooking, but when I brushed on the Terriyaki marinade and put it under the grill, it got burnt and the chicken virtually became inedible, dry and chewy, fit for the bin. I used green beans as I could not get hold of some brocoli, the beans were burned. I think the grill is too fierce, I grilled some bacon rashes and there was very little of them left after the cooking function finished - next time need to reduce the time even further. The rice and frozen vegetables were cooked OK but not as nice and fluffy as rice should be,rice is better cooked and fluffier in either the Tefal rice cooker or the Drew and Cole Cleverchef. Also the recipe is somewhat over generous with the quantities of salt and spices. It is a shame that the grilling temperature cannot be adjusted, it would make life a lot easier. Also I would prefer to see a heavy duty triple bottom, polished stainless steel pot instead of the Ceramic Lined Pot, a lot more durable, just as it is in my Instant Pot. This cooking appliance has a very hefty price tag attached to it and I feel the manufacturers should have been a little more generous and supplied a heavy duty stainless steel pot, also include the mitts for lifting out the pot after the pressure cooking is finished and also the baking dish which features in quite a few recipes.Today I will try and cook some eggs and will report back on the results, being a cautious person by nature I will only use 2 eggs in case the results are unsatisfactory.Well I cooked the eggs as suggested in the little chart for pressure cooking - the eggs were cooked to perfection. We are talking hard boiled eggs btw. I have used the air frying function on some breaded chicken breast pieces, following the instructions on the pack and using the lower side of the rack and dinner was good. More tests laterWell, I have grilled some bacon and also cooked some bacon rashers using the higher side of the rack and the air crisping function both times cooked perfectly. The Aunt Bessie home style chips tasted great cooked with the Air Crisping function, crispy outside fluffy inside. Tonight's dinner of Chicken Chasseur was perfect using the pressure cooking program. I also tried the Mustardy Beef recipe in the Foodi recipe book using shin of beef and the pressure cooking mode, delicious meal it is a lovely recipe. All in all a good purchase but being on my own, perhaps a slightly smaller dish would have been preferable.

There are a great many things you can do with this multi-cooker; you can chuck all the ingredients into this and create a meal in one pot, you can air fry the food instead of deep frying it in oil which is a much healthier option, bake cakesMy first impressions on receiving this were that it takes up quite a lot of space. I don't think it would be a good fit for smaller kitchens but would be ideal for larger ones.I also initially thought that it would be very complicated to use as there are a lot of control options for the functions. This is where the instruction manual really came in handy as it explains exactly what each function does.For those who may have misplaced their instructions,you can download them from the Ninja kitchen website.The instructions have diagrams showing step-by-step how to use the cooker & you don't have to be technical at all to understand how to do this.As well as finding the instructions on the website, there is also a cookbook of recipes that you can make using this multi-cooker.I found some really easy to understand recipes such as cooking chicken, curry, pasta, rice and much more. I would definitely suggest taking a look at this - it's so easy to understand and you don't need to be a good cook. Just chuck the ingredients in and let the cooker do the rest!Moving on to the cooker itself, it's got quite a bit of weight to it so you should ensure that it is on a stable and safe surface.There are a lot of extra parts and accessories that can be used which can easily be stored away.The various functions are very useful - I'm particularly fond of the air-fryer function as my diet hasn't been very healthy lately. The food it air-fries tastes just as good as oil-cooked food which has already helped me cut down on the amount of greasy takeaways I've wanted since it can create healthy alternatives.I really like that it pauses the timer when the lid is lifted and resumes when closed again - it allows me to check whether the food is nice and crispy enough.It's great value and definitely something that you should get for your kitchen, budget and space permitting.I'm extremely pleased with this and would definitely recommend this to others.

Decided to use the Ninja for a few months before writing a review.If money is no object and space is abundant, the Ninja Foodi Multi-Cooker is a fantastic kitchen gadget with a wide variety of options.PROs:Highly versatile applianceLarge capacityRange of settingsEasy to cleanCONs:Can be complicated to use and requires some getting used to.PricyIndustrial look that perhaps wouldn’t go well with the rest of your kitchen.The Ninja Foodi offers eight settings, from air frying to baking, roasting, sauteéing, grilling, slow cooking, pressure cooking and a keep warm function in a single machine. Due to the fact it covers so many bases, the Ninja Foodi has a large 6L pot, with a 3.2L removable frying basket,as well as a grilling rack and two lids - one fitted with a vent for pressure and slow cooking, and the other for everything else.Its bulky lid opens to the side on a hinge meaning it can’t be fully opened while tucked underneath a kitchen cupboard and this, coupled with its overall size, makes it impossible to comfortably fit anywhere where space is limited.Overall, given the high price tag, its industrial size and multi-purpose use, the Ninja Foodi is not for the faint hearted. Firstly, it’s far from cheap, but it does negate the need to buy a separate slow cooker, pressure cooker and air fryer. Secondly, its large size is smaller than having all three on your kitchen top. If you have the money and the space, it’s a great kitchen appliance to have in your arsenal!Each of its functions work well on their own. Some perform better than others and some are easier to use than others, yet it’s having them all in one place is what makes the Foodie stand out for me. From roasting a chicken to being able to quickly switch to the air frying function to crisp up its skin; from being able to sear ingredients before switching to slow cooking; the Ninja Foodi has the potential to replace your regular oven.I personally am very pleased with my Ninja and would recommend it if it is in your budget and if you have that bit of extra space in your kitchen.

I honestly do not know where to start my review of this amazing product ! - before having Foodi in my home i have used a slow cooker as well as air fryer - both of those took quite a bit of space on my worktop , so having an all in one is a God send ! - when i first read that it can crisp , steam , roast and slow cook and pressure cook - it all sounded a bit to good to be true ! - and let me tell you one thing - i was so wrong - Ninja Foodi does exactly what it says on the tin ! - i have never roasted a chicken in such a short amount of time - saving you not only time but money - most importantly chicken came out just perfect ±,we also tried cooking chips using the air frying option - my old air fryer "friend them for ages" - here with Foodi - 20 minutes and you are done !i also love slow cooking - especially our family favorite Indian butter chicken curry , as well as chicken low mein and stews - the brilliant thing with a slow cooker is that you can come back from work to a dinner that is full of flavor waiting for you . -Ninja for me is a brand that is forward thinking - not all of us foodies have massive kitchens so any counter space is precious - having a machine that can do so much means i do not have to have an array of appliances in my kitchen .- it got 2 lids on for air frying / crisping and one for preasure cooking /steaming/slow cooking . Also Ninja Foodi is made well and feels robust and the sleek black looks fantastic i my kitchen . The all in one comes with easy to read instructions , a recipie book - to get you started - i have tried herb chicken and buffalo chicken wings and both were fab! ,and a cheat sheet to give you an idea as to how log you should cook a range of food items from meat (frozen and fresh ) to veg (if you are thinking of getting a slow cooker / pressure cooker or an air fryer - save yourself space and money and get Ninja ! and by the look of other reviewers - i am not the only one who loves this machine [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
