You can cook many different recipe types in a pressure cooker, but they are best suited to foods like stews, soups and curries – but that’s not to say you can’t cook other varieties – I’ve successfully made rice, whole roast joints and even a cheesecake! If you saw my countertop at dinnertime you’d probably laugh. Many times I have my Instant Pot, Foodi and IP mini all working on something at the same time. Yes I make a lot of one pot meals but I like separating items too. Yes! I’ve tested on multiple air fryer recipes in my Ninja Foodi air fryer and most of them work flawlessly in the Ninja air fryer except for few exceptions.

To try out the meat thermometer, we air-fried a sirloin steak. Once the thermometer is in place, it’s just a matter of selecting your preference, in this case medium rare, and then the Ninja does the rest. It monitors the temperature in the center of the steak until it’s cooked to perfection. Our medium-rare steak cooked exactly as we hoped. The fat on the side had rendered well and had a deliciously crisp texture. If you struggle to cook the perfect steak, you’ll love this feature. I like to call our Ninja Foodi the appliance of all appliances. It has pressure cooking, air frying, and even more options than I can count. The slow cooker function allows for a hands-off approach to meal preparation. By cooking food at a low temperature over an extended period, the Ninja Foodi can effortlessly produce meals that are tender and full of flavor. Some popular dishes for slow cooking include: Simply switch between cooking modes using the SmartLid Slider. The lid intelligently recognises which function you are using. These two recipes demonstrate the versatility of your Ninja Foodi for cooking delicious fish and seafood dishes. Enjoy experimenting with different seasonings and ingredients to create your own unique and flavorful creations. Vegetable and Side Dish Recipes

A large-capacity smart multi-cooker that can do everything

This function is only available on the Ninja Foodi Max version. It was one of my reasons for opting for this model (as well as it is larger). I’ve always wanted a dehydrator but didn’t want another kitchen appliance taking up valuable kitchen worktop space. Now you’ll notice I don’t use the slow cooking function for any meal. I will be honest and say that the slow cooker function doesn’t work well. Cooking methods: The Ninja Foodi offers diverse cooking techniques, such as pressure cooking, air frying, and slow cooking, while outdoor grills generally offer only grilling and, in some cases, smoking options.

Air Fryer Recipes Portability: Outdoor grills are mostly stationary and require an outdoor space, whereas the Ninja Foodi is a compact appliance that can be easily stored indoors.

For pressure-cooked brown basmati rice, we followed the weight and time detailed in the cooking chart. The cook time was seven minutes with a nine-minute preheat and then an automatic delayed pressure release which took 10 minutes. So the total cook time was 26 minutes which is only a few minutes longer than it usually takes on the stove. The finished rice was perfectly cooked and with the automatic pressure release, it was very hands-off and far more convenient than watching it as it boils in a pot. Grilled fish tacos are a popular choice for a light and flavorful meal. To prepare this dish in your Ninja Foodi, follow these simple steps: When cooking is complete, the surface of the bread will be crusty and brown. Carefully remove the Cook & Crisp™ basket from the pot. Allow the bread to cool for about 30 minutes before slicing. Select STEAM BREAD, set temperature to 180°C and set time to 20 minutes. Select START/STOP to begin cooking (the display will show PRE for approximately 15 minutes as it steams, then the timer will start counting down). This was always the missing feature of the other multicookers I have owned in the past, meaning that I could never crisp anything up after cooking it.Crisping Lid: This lid enables the air frying and crisping functions in the Ninja Foodi, providing you with crispy and delicious results.
