[Food] Ninja Foodi multi cooker - anyone got one?

[vegster]

They talk.

Hopefully, not with their mouths full ?

“Er indoors” got the duel zone version earlier in the year. So far results are good

On a related note, their non stick frying pans are excellent

I've got one and they're excellent, it's an all in one, air fry, roast, steam, hob, slow cook, etc.

Anyone use theirs as a slow cooker? I've lost the instruction manual and tried searching online but can't find any instructions on it. I tried in the past but couldn't work out how to either change the timings or heat

Slow cooker, yes. Put the pressure lid on and vent it. Press the slow cooker option. The change the heat settings on the right to either low or high.

The ninja is fantastic and I use it every day.
After the pub later I'm going to cook a roast in it, probably take half hour. Pressure cook frozen chicken breast, then throw in some peeled and oiled potatoes, throw on for 20 minutes, nice crispy spuds. Veg on the hob. Jobs a good'un.

Are you able to adjust the times? I think I tried and couldn't change it from 4 hours.

I've roasted a full chicken in less then 40 mins

Come'th the New Year I shall be buying a Ninja Foodi as I dispose of my cooker.

I'd also recommend a portable induction hot plate. I brought one when we did our kitchen, brilliant and so good I brought another. You'll probably find a good used double for sale on ebay (£80.) But also worth buying new and selling on or keeping as an extra boost for Xmas day or even outside cooking in summer (next to a BBQ).

Agree with this. We recently had our kitchen replaced and while we were without ovens and hobs, we borrowed a tefal induction hot plate which was really useful to have around.

I got a Tefal induction plate whilst our kitchen was being re-done. Fifty quid for a really good piece of kit.

That was brave if I gave the Mrs a cooker for Christmas I would probably get kicked in the balls..

I went for a boys weekend in Taipei some years ago, did 3 all nighters and was due to fly out earlyish Sunday morning. I went for a bowl of beef noodles after coming out of the club completely battered on the last morning and realised I'd better get something to take home for my wife, so the next thing I know I'm walking back to my hotel with a frying pan.

It looked like a rather nice shiny frying pan too so I was quite pleased with myself but her face was a proper picture when I arrived back in Tokyo and presented it to her. It might not have been so bad if it was actually a decent frying pan but any food that was put near it instantly stuck and ruined, so all it ended up being good for anyway was bashing some sense into me.

I had a new kitchen fitted last December with two new ovens and a steam oven. I also bought myself a Ninja Foodi 7 in 1 7 litre for xmas. In all honesty, I could have saved myself money and not bought the rest of the kitchen. The Ninja is excellent. I do 90% of all my cooking in it. It's great for roasting, grilling, air frying, pressure cooking and slow cooking. There are great recipes for anything you might want to cook in it all over the Internet. It pre-heats almost immediately and is cheap to run. It's one of the best pieces of kit I have ever bought.

I bought this model about two years ago but have only used the slow cooking option a few times. Reading the comments, above, I better get the book out start using it

 

[Billy the Fish]

Just ordered the 7.5l 9-in-one version.

Primarily wanted the pressure cooker for quicker slow cook recipes and the air fryer for anything that's you'd usually deep fry.

Interested to know what other people do in theirs, will definitely try a roast chicken.

What are your top tips/favourites to cook?

 

[Poojah]

Here’s a question - does the dual zone version do all of the things the ‘Foodi’ does, or are we talking a different contraption. Looking to buy one in fairly short order to make the mid-week family meals a bit less mundane.

The dual zone doesn't have the slow cook or pressure cook options.

Ta, that’s helpful!

The Ninja arrived yesterday.
The cooker (and microwave) went to the kitchen in the sky today.

I've started with the AirFryer - chicken and chips, following Acker's man above.

All tasty.
Need to work on the chicken's colour (looked like Will Hughes having just eaten some wotsits)
Need to work on the chips crispiness.


It appears to be a cracking bit of kit, if for no other reason, I also bought \/

meaning I cleared out 2 cupboards - 4 shelves worth of kitchen pots and pans and all the other paraphernalia to go with cooker and microwave.

 

[Stat Brother]

Right I'm not going to promise I won't keep ing this every time I cook something, but I will try to limit myself.

Crappy store bought burgers tonight.
No mess, no smell, minimal washing up.
Freakin game changer.


I have been watching plenty of YouTube tutorials (one pot Spag Bol is up next) nearly all of them are good, but not quite all:-


Enjoy
