So far it has been used for a pretty long list of vegetables, fish and meat and apart from a couple of mishaps with heat and time settings everything has worked out really well.
The biggest factors are the energy cost savings.
Not only does it run off a 13amp plug rather than a 30amp mains cooker. It cooks most things in a 1/3 of the time. Many people also over look the power saved from not having to wash so many pots and pans.
The steam then roast feature is what I was looking for with the meat probe. This means it cooks thing like chicken until the probe temp shows it’s done. Saving more cost and giving you that perfect moist succulent flesh with crispy skin.
We cooked a 6lb chicken in 40 mins and the centre of the breast was at 75C. Roast potatoes done in the base at the same time. As the chicken rested. We steamed the veg. Washing up consisted of the bowl and trivet rack.
Only downside is we are on our second pot already and the replacements from ninja aren’t in stock very often but to consider how often it’s used this isn’t such a surprise.
I would recommend everyone to get an air fryer their a great bit of kit.
I brought this 7 months ago and it has changed the way I cook. I love the functions and can cook a variety of delicious foods. It’s very easy to use and clean too. Thank you
Haven’t used the steamer function yet, but the air fryer,and grill are 1st class, especially the crisping facility, baking functions are trial and error at the moment, but hopefully,it will come good in the end.
Love this product. Made root veg, potatoes, mixed peppers, mushrooms, cherry tomatoes and lamb steaks in 15 minutes and a delicious sauce with the stock!
This item comes with lots of instructions, recipes and quick ‘how to’ guides. More recipes are available online.
The versatility of this machine is amazing. Also less cooking time means less energy use.
All internal cooking components are easy to clean and dishwasher safe.
A very happy customer!
I love the Ninja 15 in 1. I’ve cooked chicken several time using the Roast/Steam with the temp probe inserted into the chicken breast. The chicken come out succulent & moist while cooking the potatoes at the same time. It’s also very cost effective to run compared to an oven.
Between both of them, they’ve basically replaced our cooker that hardly gets used these days.
It’s very easy to use, just slide the lock over to get to the different options like pressure cooking and steam air fry and then select time, temperature etc and press go.
It takes a little while to build pressure up but cooks very quickly once it has built pressure up.
I would recommend this to anyone.
It’s a cracking piece of kit. It will bake, roast, pressure cook, steam, air fry, fry, dehydrate, etc. etc. Since buying this, I’d say that the use of our conventional oven has reduced by well over 50%. Everything in it, bar the inside of the lid, is very easy to clean. The heating element in the lid is not that easy to deal with and it does get dirty, though that seems not to have interfered with its functionality.
Overall, I’d heartily recommend it – if you have the countertop space.
Looks like CP3O sat on the worktop , but very sleek looking
The 15 in once is great buy , I no longer need individual cooking equipment such as : slow cooker , rice cooker, pressure cooker and air fryer , even my oven and pans have become redundant since purchasing my ninja. So much more space saving I love it !
This is my new colleague in the kitchen
It’s awesome
Versatile kitchen robot that prepares succulent and flavoursome meals. Great way to save money and time.
We already had one pressure cooker and found it so useful that we had been planning on getting a second one anyway – so that we can cook meals with more than one when necessary.
The slow cooker mode works better than on some multi-cookers as it has a range of heat settings. The auto pressure relase is useful too as it means it is one less thing to remember to do. Would definitely recomend – particularly if you are used to a simple pressure cooker and looking for something more advanced with additional features.
A little bit chunky but worth it. Reduces cooking times and saves energy. Multiple options to cook. Has made a few kitchen items redundant.
Much more energy efficient than using an oven for most things.
Very easy to make soups, stews, curries in bulk, especially in winter.
Great for baking my bread, roasting chicken etc… really good at a lot of things.
I’ve only had it for a few weeks now so I haven’t used all the functions but so far it’s been fantastic. It cooks beautifully and very quickly. I haven’t used my oven since I got this fryer.
Icefall. No words to express my gratitude. For once I did good to myself by buying this. Snacks in evening to cooking has become easier. It’s a must have. For any family who particularly run around rush hour.
Never had an air fryer before and I now see why they are so popular. This particular model is great. We cook anything and everything in it. Saves a fortune on energy bills too! Highly recommended
As always the Ninja multifunctional cooking machine does not disappoint!
Saves both money and time and can cook a delicious meal in minutes
My other half, never like’s me cooking chicken, he say’s it’s always dry, no more complaint’s with this, cook’s to perfection, with the built in thermometer.
I have used every function, apart from steam bread, prove and dehydrate.
I have cooked roast lamb and potatoes, slow cooked stews, made gravy, soup, potatoes for mashing in the pressure cooker (perfect)
The other night I had forgot to put braising steak in the slow cooker for tea, I set it to pressure and 45 minutes later, really nice meal on the table.
I do have one complaint, in the bottom of the main pot, are some bit’s of the coating coming off, not much and I only use silicone utensils, so I will be keeping an eye on that.
But saying that, I would recommend this product, it’s so good.
Lets say it’s far, far more than a mere gadget though. And it DOES take some getting used to. But it’s arguably the BEST kitchen appliance I’ve ever had! It does everything we need and I find myself experimenting and creating unusual dishes from experience and growing confidence. I WOULD say this – 1: don’t be daunted by how complicated it first appears when unboxing the item.
2: Be prepared to get a few frustrating ‘hit & misses’ before you master cooking with it.
3: Try not to become a faithful slave buying expensive specialist multi-cooker recipe books as if they’re some kind of magic bible you’ll need to use your Ninja succesfully. Hunt in charity shops for cook books, they can ALL be adapted easily for your Ninja as your skills develop.
4: DON’T BE AFRAID OF EXPERIMENTING!
…..Have fun, it’s going to change how you cook AND save time, too xxx
Personally I think the ninja is A1 no hassle and easy to operate. Has a manual and setup is easy too.
Best acquisition in quite some time. So many useful functions. You can cook everything you need with this cooker. Very easy to clean. The smart lid is also easy to use and avoids the work to change lids depending on the function you will use.
I find this one super useful, have used more than 3 of its functions and works really well. It’s not a 5 star because it’s a heavy appliance.
It really is a fantastically versatile piece of equipment. It’s chunky tho! I’d recommended trying to view one in a shop before you commit to the purchase if you’re worried about the space. It’s heavy as well, you wouldn’t really want to be taking it on and out of a cupboard every time you want to use it.
For me, the key differential with this product is the range of use.
Being able to saut bacon, onion, mince in the pot, put in tomatoes, stock and pasta – pressure cook for 5 mins (including about a 6 min “come up to pressure” and then ~5mins pressure release at the end) for a rich pasta bolognaise in the same pot is awesome. Same applies for stews. Slow cook beef falling apart in 30-40mins.
It’s quite daunting at first but I’d recommend joining the various Facebook groups and just getting stuck in.
Amazing appliance that doesn’t waste heat & is quick & efficient. Very well insulated so no one can burn themselves by touching externally.
BRILLIANT invention!!! Every kitchen should have one
A few friends already were converts and as we had a little spare money we went for the 15 in 1. It’s fantastic we especially love the potato wedges ( I pressure cook for a few mins then air fry) and the ability to fry/ sear meat directly in the pot saves time and washing up.
We’re eating healthier and saving electric too plus not having to stand over the hob is a godsend ( bad back) Just set it away and a shake now and then if needed then perfect results every time we’ve used it. It’s also very stable even with the heavy lid open
There’s only one drawback I can think of although it doesn’t affect us is the height, I can imagine if you’re less than about 5’4″ you may need a step to stir ingredients safely and avoid catching your hand on the sides
I’m glad I got a recipe book with this as it made me see what it can really do, and I’ve been baking anything from par-backed rolls with soft boiled eggs in ramekins in the morning, to green thai curry with jasmine rice, to baking carrot cake in it, and to tell the truth who needs to order out at anytime when you have one of these! The food is so much nicer then the normally way of cooking.
Overall I am really happy , enjoying the product and looking forward to creating more family meals. My grown up children live it as they can whip up something quick to eat, individual portion for themselves all in one pot.
It takes a little getting used to, I was a little fearful at 1st, but jumped in and soon got the hang of it. Would highly recommend saves time and energy with the bonus less saucepans and it is so easy to clean.
Only downside is room to store all the bits and pieces when not in use. I purchased an extra set for trying baking.
I like it, really I do – it’s versatile and a handy thing which can help reduce cooking time and therefore reduce energy consumption, which can only be a good thing.
BUT ( yes, there is a “but” ) handy and versatile though this is, in my case it can never be a complete replacement for an oven.
Here’s why:
There are times when – even cooking a family meal – the capacity of the Ninja is a problem.
Okay so it will cook my joint and maybe faster too, but I can’t cook my roasted veg, roast spuds AND Yorkies at the same time ( or in quick enough sucession).
Before someone says “Yes you can” – well maybe you can, but not the way I like mine cooked.
Added to that, either my meat cools too much before serving while the rest cooks or I have to cook things how I didn’t want them cooking, and on top of that any potential energy saving is reduced by cooking in the Ninja for longer to cook the different parts of the meal. And there’s nowhere to keep things warm like there is in my oven.
I can’t cook layers of cakes at the same time.
Nor can I cook two large pizzas and a tray of onion rings and/or fries like I can in a regular oven.
Those are just a few examples of why I still couldn’t manage withoutmy oven.
Otherwise it’s great.
My gammon joint for example turned out lovely, and I’d forgotten how useful a pressure cooker can be & this Ninja combines that with other methods of cooking too for added versatility.
A “quick” sponge turns out great as do many other things like chicken tikka or even heating a pie instead of microwaving it.
But for me, handy and versatile though this Ninja is, it might be a great addition to the kitchen and it will undoubtedly get used very regularly but it just can’t replace my oven.
That’s my experience although I recognize that individual needs differ.
I was hyper sceptical and looked at it with a little disdain, when it first arrived (very early btw by at least 2 weeks). I did not want to be drawn into the hype BUT with my upcoming refurbishment work to be carried out in my home, I certainly do not want to rely on takeaways so the Foodi was seen as the cost effective and healthier way forward.
With the cost of living crisis this year etc, we also wanted to cut down on energy costs and we decided to have a Ninja foodi Xmas – the four of us.
Well…I say…
We brined the turkey the night before and cooked that bird in the Ninja Foodi and to my surprise it came out juicy, succulent and cooked with crispy skin – who knew??? We did the veg both steamed and roasted and the potatoes…Mmmm the potatoes.
Anyway this is a very versatile piece of kit and it does so much with a variety of steaming, cooking baking, sous vide functions and works very well. The down side is for a small family of 4 like mine it’s good but if you were to host a small party or a larger family you’d have to cook in batches. Another issue is do not follow recipe timings to the letter use your discretion/instinct and the thermometer when applicable to ensure your food is cooked through as this air fryer is powerful and can easily over cook you food. Hasn’t happened yet but I am mindful.
Well done Ninja Foodie Smarlid… I like what you do and am looking forward to a long and tasty union.
Such a versatile piece of kitchen kit especially if you are renovating
Use it all the time don’t use my oven much anymore.
Use this foodie for so much, baking bread and wonderful scones, so easy to use, so easy to clea
A bit on the heavy side, otherwise excellent fir cooking
I have used it every day since purchasing and haven’t turned my oven on once. Cooked everything in it.
Little pricey but extremely well made – you pays for what you gets!
I can cook anything in this and at a fraction of the cost of using an oven. My new favourite kitchen appliance
Excellent machine, larger and heavier than I expected. Does what it says on the box.
Cooked chicken Sunday lunch and the chips and wedges are awesome
Had this now for about 3 weeks cannot fault it, haven’t had to use the oven since!! It does take some getting used to so you can cook everything in one go!
This machine is expensive, so I bought it on 5 interest free payments.
This machine has truly changed my life.
It’s amazing, quick, no kitchen smells, no messy hob to clean, you can literally cook anything in it. I’m totally addicted to this machine.
Downside the mains lead isn’t long enough
I’ve only had it for a few weeks just getting use to it but so far very happy with this product
Easy to use and very easy to keep clean and economical to use
Would definitely recommend
Great addition to my kitchen easy to cook and clean. Lots of options
Easy enough if you play for a while & follow the instructions. Happy to have this item.
It’s easy to use cooks the food really well and very quickly
Food can be easily burned so follow the cooking guide lines
Bought this as an up grade from the 9in 1 and I have to say I’m so pleased I did what a fantastic bit of ki
Haven’t cooked much yet but as expected was great cooking and cleaning. We also have ninja xl grill and dual zone air fryer so are already ninja fans. Like all appliances cooks quicker and better than the oven so saves money.
I can’t recommend getting one of these enough. Not used my oven for weeks . The pressure cooker on this us amazing and everything cooks in half the time using half of the electricity.
