Features And Benefits 

The Ninja Foodi has several built-in features to make it an asset in almost any kitchen. The slow cooker, pressure cooker, and air fryer functions are easy to use, with clearly labelled buttons informing the user of their tasks. The multi-cooker also comes with searing, sauteing, and roasting functions, granting you a versatile tool that significantly expands the range of recipes you can make.  

Additionally, this kitchenware item is large enough to be capable of cooking substantial amounts of food at once, while still being compact. It measures around H:36 x W:35 x D:36 cm and comes with a large cooking pot that can hold up to six litres of liquid, a reversible rack, and a cook and crisp basket for air frying and steaming functions.  

The Ninja Foodi Max has reduced the number of attachments and now has only one lid so if you’re short on storage space this will be ideal for you. Along with the machine and its 7.5L removable cooking pot, it comes with:

• A 2 tier reversible rack
• A cook and crisp basket
• A cook and crisp diffuser
• A digital cooking probe, probe cap and probe storage compartment
• A condensation collector

You’ll quickly find that every accessory is dishwasher-safe for easy maintenance. 

There are also a few quality-of-life features, like a release valve for the pressure cooker setting, that allows you more control over how the appliance depressurises. Ninja couples the valve with a safety feature for the air fryer that stops the cooking process if you remove the lid, enabling the user to make sure their meal is coming out exactly as they want it. However with the cooking probe there is no longer any need to check how your meal is going unless you really want to.

The Ninja Foodi Multi-Cooker is suitable for anyone with a moderately sized home who doesn’t want to waste valuable food prep space with many different appliances. And, with the numerous cooking features, you can create family-sized meals as quickly as by pushing a button and at a fraction of the time of a traditional oven. For example, the cooking time for a whole roasted chicken is mere 45 minutes! 

The versatility of this machine is excellent, you can even cook one pot meals at the same time by using the 2 tier rack with your proteins on one rack and vegetables on the other

The Combi-Steam mode allows you to steam your food as well as making it crispy. So that roast chicken can be juicy on the inside and crisp on the outside.

The great news is, that if you have an issue, you can purchase replacement parts and accessories online through Ninja Kitchen.

Best Used For? 

So, what can you use the Ninja Foodi for? It can fulfil many roles within the kitchen, but what would you make to get the most out of it? Each appliance your amazing multi-cooker represents has dedicated communities that regularly post delicious recipes you can try.  

With how quickly the Ninja Foodi can finish making a meal, it’s perfect for people away from their homes to assemble a delicious, healthy meal for the family quickly. Some options depend on the feature you’re using at the time. You can use the Ninja Foodi as a:  

• Pressure cooker for perfect fluffy white rice or tender cuts of meats packed with flavour  
• Slow cooker for stews, soups, jambalaya, or even flavorful oatmeal in the morning  
• Saute pan to brown meat or onions in place of a cooker 
• Steamer for cooking a side of veggies to complement the main dish 
• Air fryer for crispy french fries, fried chicken, or even to bake a cake  
• Cook an entire meal at the same time with the Steam-Combi system

Sadly, there is one option that the Ninja doesn’t have. You cannot set a delay timer, which would allow you to set your cooking time in advance for a delayed start. I am guessing they decided they didn’t need that feature as food cooks so quickly, but still, it would have been a nice option. Hopefully, Ninja will change its mind with future versions of the Multi-cooker.

Reasons To Buy 

The Ninja Foodi Max Multi-Cooker is a valuable tool for any chef in the kitchen. If you often find yourself seeking recipes that use several heavy kitchen appliances that take up space on your countertop, consolidating their utility into one machine gives a bit of elbow room.  

If you regularly have to feed a big family, a slow cooker, instant pot, or air fryer makes your job much faster and easier. With the Ninja Foodi, you can do all that at once, allowing for more complex breakfasts, lunches, and dinners in a fraction of the time.

The Ninja Foodi Max 15-in-1 Multi Cooker has a larger capacity (7.6 litres) than the Instant Pot Duo Crisp (5.7 litres). However, both appliances have similar features, including pressure cooking, air frying, dehydrating, roasting, steaming, slow cooking, and sautéing. The main exception is the “Combi-Steam” option on the Ninja, which puts this product in front of the Instapot.

The Ninja Foodi weighs more, is slightly bigger and pricier than the Instant Pot Duo Crisp, therefore if any of those are an issue for you, then the Instant Pot Duo Crisp might be the way to go. The Instant Pot is also a really solid, versatile multi-cooker. But honestly, Ninja had me at Combi-Steam, so I think it is worth the money.
