Ninja Foodi Multi-Cooker [OP300UK], 7-in-1, 6L, Electric Pressure Cooker and Air Fryer, Grey and Black

Product Information

Before pressure cooking, we could make use of the Sear/Sauté setting to brown the chicken and onion, then we added the rest of the ingredients and switched to the Pressure Cook setting - choosing 25 minutes on high. The stew and chicken curry were cooked perfectly with well-reduced sauces and tender chunks of meat and vegetables. The pressure release valve’s loose fit is intentional; it enables a quick and easy transition between SEAL and VENT and helps regulate pressure by releasing small amounts of steam during cooking to ensure great results.

Especially when compared to how much effort either it is to make by the more traditional means (think several pans/constant monitoring), the Ninja Foodi is ridiculously easy to use, and there were no hiccups whatsoever. Thanks to the sear and sauté functions, we can prepare every element of our slow cooker beef stew in one, including browning the meat. Two methods of pressure drop include the natural method - where you leave the pressure cooker to drop back down to normal pressure naturally, or where you can release the pressure quickly, manually.Overall cooking takes into account how well the pressure cooker copes with cooking a beef and vegetable stew, a tricky risotto with delicate courgettes and cooking dried beans. Functionality wise it does so much more than pressure cook, and has 7 main features in one - hence the name. Each recipe is rated by how easy it is in case you want something simple or a challenge, and there are timing breakdowns for things such as veg and whole chickens too.

We found its large capacity bowl a great size to add the ingredients and ensure everything was evenly places as opposed to being piled on top of each other.
