I bought the $349 NINJA FOODI XL. Here's what I think.

Hey friends! About a month ago, I came across the Ninja Foodi XL Pressure cooker/air fryer combo. It's INTENSE. I was intrigued, so I bought it for you guys. Here's my initial thoughts on the appliance and I want to do more videos, so leave me some comments on what you want to see next as far as how to use the Ninja Foodi, or any other questions you have about it!

What's something you want to learn about in the next Ninja foodi video??

[karlagv]

I LOVE MINE! You’ll get use to it’s size. It didn’t allow you to open because it was still under pressure. This is good size when you’re feeding a family. I actually place mine on top of my stove on a wooden board. Just to give it that steam space and so it doesn’t steam right under my cabinets. My kids use the aircrisp feature all the time and I use the pressure cooker often. Ribs come out VERY tender using the pressure cook mode, then I brush them with barbecue sauce and put it in the broiler for five minutes. 😗👌🏼

If you’re going to keep it, why don’t you put it on a rolling cart? That way you can use it on the cart ( no lifting ), then roll it away when you’re not using it!

Terri here. So glad YOU are testing this and not me! I’m shorter than you, waaaay older, and it’s so big! I have nowhere to store it…and if I did, I wouldn’t be able to lift it. If not for your videos, I still would have my Instant Pot in a cabinet. But…once I boiled some eggs, I I knew I had to go forward. While I don’t use it weekly, I have done chicken, half a turkey, a number of corned beefs (and must say, I’ve never had any this good!) roasts…am ready to go to soups!
Thank you for taking time to pass on your knowledge and experienced. You are adorable and I love your voice. God be with you!!!

[Soylarimar]

Please try EVERYTHING!!! I’m so excited you branched out to this one as I’ve had my eye on it for a while. I have the instant pot AND the previous ninja foodi version. This one I want to try bc it only has one lid n a thermometer and I’m looking to simplify n just have one appliance instead of 2 or 3.

[nickimontie]

I don't have enough room for this behemoth! I'd have to get rid of all my small appliances, so it needs to make coffee and toast bread... 😂

[bobbicatton]

I have the model without the thermometer, and love the steam crisp function to cook three level meals or frozen potstickers. This appliance has been a total game changer👍

[laine]

I bought this unit and have used it multiple times, I was intimidated at first due to it being my first time using anything like it. I love it.
I bought from Kohl's when on sale, 30% off coupon, I paid $100.00 less.

I used to work in a Kentucky Fried Chicken outlet and part of the secret of their great chicken was their proprietary steam injected fryer cooker ovens. These are complex expensive technology to try and import into consumer appliances. A lot of unique features for driving hot air in an autoclave environment.

I bought this Ninja with probe and I’m in love! Completely. You have to try everything. Whole chicken on Steam & Crisp …you’ll never do otherwise. It’s great quality made. Reliable. I’ve also tested the temp for Sous vide at 135 degrees on several hours with thermometer: right on spot! Clean up is so easy too. I agree with you the price is insanely high. I’ve paid even more than you:( So give it a try and enjoy!

I'm not sure I'll ever get into the air fryer appliance, but I found this video highly entertaining to watch. I darn near fell off my chair every time a size reference was made. I look forward to seeing more about this ginormous appliance.

[AndrzejJeczen]

We've had it for a few months and I only used the oven for pizza as it doesn't fit in Ninja.
I mdłe bread twice a week, air dry frequently and make soups. Wire racks are for making three part meals. We don't buy chicken nuggets anymore. Home made taste out of this world. The next step is dehydrating ham.

[janetroberts]

I love mine. I had to laugh when you was trying to find where to hold the lid to close and open it when there’s a big orange label saying “LIFT HERE” 😂😂😂

[kathyfann]

It’s huge! Oh my goodness.
I have an older one that has performed beautifully and I am grateful for it. It’s a bit smaller thankfully and it’s a 6 qt and It’s just me so it’s plenty big.

[mariannetuite]

I upgraded to this model about 18 months ago, and while yes it is huge, it’s brilliant. I’ve used my main oven so infrequently since having a Foodi. It’s by far been the best “gadget” I’ve bought for the kitchen

[jpaden]

I do love the new all in one lid designs Ninja and Instant pot have put out with their last two models. And the added temperature probe option is just WOW!!! My only critic is the fact they both have the lids built onto the lower sections with a hinged opening action. Honestly prefer the removeable lids. Maybe it's a balance issue with such a bulky lid. But again LOVE the new addition of a probe to temp what you're cooking.

[starfire]

Thanks for reviewing this item. I think I’ll stick with my instant pot Max I love it and it has all those settings with the exception of that type thermometer. It has a digital thermometer that shows the heat at all times. I just bought the air fryer lid for it and it worked wonders. Oh and I can pressure can 4 pints too.

[forcatsonly]

Been checking back for a new video on this product. Really want to know what you think about this compared to the instant pot!

[yolandab]

I purchased one about six months ago and I LOVE it. It is truly a game changer for cooking efficiently. I look forward to your upcoming recipes using this cooker.

[gailwatkins]

For someone alone and without much strength (I'm 70) this doesn't look like a viable option. I LOVE my insta pot because I can cook a whole meal for 1 at one time and it's not too cumbersome or heavy for me. For baking/crisping I use a toaster oven so I'm set. I just can't see investing that much money on a product that would be difficult to operate. (Personal note: Girl, you look marvelous and you're hitting it out of the park with your videos. You and your family are in my prayers. You SHINE!! Keep up the good work and keep pressing forward in the Lord. Love you) Blessings always, g.
