From time to time I do reviews, I haven’t done a cooking product review in a long time. So, today a cooking technology review. We got the Ninja Coffee pot about three years ago. It is a great addition to our coffee game. But the new product they have released this year is the best addition to our kitchen for a long time. The product’s name is Foodi. The Ninja Foodi. That, by the way, is a great name. The Ninja Foodi is a category buster. That is a product that does some things well, and a couple of things exceptionally well. In the kitchen where we don’t have a huge amount of counter space, adding the Foodi was a careful decision. Our kitchen counters are crammed today anyway.
Let’s talk features first; then we will go into functionality.
- Steam
- Pressure
- Air Fry
- Sear
We’ve used the pressure cooker twice already, once to make pulled pork and once to make a chicken dish. There is a magic in having something that is pressure cooked. The pulled pork we made was simply amazing. The chicken was perfect as well. We have also done the air frying option that is also incredible. The sear option was used to finish up the pulled pork. The last component will be steam cooking, that is a planned Saturday cooking experience!
Overall the controls are easy to use. Setting up the Foodi is pretty simple. It is very heavy and barely fits on the island in our kitchen. The screen is easy to understand and use. The power button is in the lower right corner of the Unit. First, open the lid, then add in the ceramic container. Now, what are you doing next? Steam and pressure, you don’t need any of the other attachments. You do, however, need the steam lid. The steam lid seals the cooking area so that you can build pressure. It is placed on the top of the unit, and then simply seal the cooking area by turning the knob on top of the steam top. That allows pressure to build up.
The air fryer allows you to fry foods quickly, always nice to air fry rather than well, grease fry.
Overall I give the Foodi and 10 out of 10. I really have to say it exceeded my expectations.

I am carried with your review. How I wish I could have one. I have never ever experienced with any pressure cooker. What we have is rice cooker, an electric one.
I use a crock pot sometimes, but otherwise is all skillets for me
We love our crockpot and use it all the time! Thanks Alex!
No problem, I will bust out the crockpot for corned beef at the slightest provocation
I’ve used one in the past but I would never buy it again.
I can understand that, it is always a personal choice!
Well done! Nice post!
Thanks Georgi! I am glad you liked the review
I rarely use my pressure cooker. I often use my slow cooker. My grandmother cooked almost everything in her pressure cooker.
I haven’t used on in years, this is so easy well I am embarrassed to say I haven’t been using my old pressure cooker.
I do have a pressure cooker that I love.
I’ve used one in the past, having one again I remembered how much I love pressure cooking food!
very useful vessel…….
It is very useful! Thanks! We’ve really loved using it so far.
