[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Ninja product is by far my favorite! The first thing I cooked in it was a rack of ribs. They cooked on slow for 6 hours and they were perfect. I love how easy it is to use. The countdown for the 6 hours was my favorite part. It is very good on counterspace. I am so impressed and I will be buying my mom one for Christmas. I cannot wait to try out all the other functions such as bakcounterpart. Well done Ninja!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This cooker is great, I fixed a pot roast in 4 1/2 hours start to finish. The meat was so tender and this cooker doesn't seen to throw off as much heat into the room which is great in the summer. Can't wait to try all different recipes in this cooker it is so versatil. As you can see it has many different functions. I highly reccomend this cooker way better than a crockpot in my opinion.
First we love the Ninja Multi-Cookers (not the round pressure Insta pot like ones; the oblong slower cooker ones). We've owned two of them and have bought another five for our two kids, two nieces, and my wife's sister. Our first one was a pretty basic one (4 in 1). Then we upgraded to the stainless steel Ninja 7 in 1 Cooking System Auto-IQ version. We still have it and love it. We wanted a second one for our RV but they stopped offering them, we were bummed. We tried a few copy-cat units from other manufactures but we less then impressed and returned them. Either to hot, couldn't read the settings, couldn't control the temps, to complicated, missing a feature, etc. While shopping online for yet another (4th) copycat version, we stumbled across this new Ninja PossibleCooker Pro and I ordered it; were anxious to try their new one. We bought this when it was in pre-order. We've had it now for about a month. First, I love the easy to read controls, the larger size pot and the newer nonstick coating. The shape of the base unit is exactly the same as our auto-IQ version, so we can use the smaller pot insert with it. (We had to buy a new cover and insert for our older IQ model as I broke the glass top and we wore out the non-stick coating using it so much). My wife says that this unit would be perfect if two things were different: 1) get rid of the hole in the glass top, it is too big and releases to much moisture (she uses a wine stopper to plug the hole while doing certain cooking - a better idea would be a rotating valve to control the moisture loss - open for soups or stews when you are trying to thicken them, closed for pot roasts, taco meat and baking to retain moisture) . 2) Go back to a non-metal glass top handle. It gets to hot when cooking and you have to use a pot holder to check your food, stir, etc. She uses a silicon alligator grippie as a pot holder. The only other thing; what are the temperatures of the various cooking modes?! They should be listed in the manual or online somewhere. This units slow cook low and high are higher temperatures of their older smaller models. It will boil water on the slow cook low setting. Otherwise we love it and will keep it.
Typical to ninja fashion this device is intuitive and super easy to use. I cooked a marinara sauce in it and it didn’t stick! Very easy to clean. The spoon that sits on the top is a great detail. I’ve been waiting for ninja to come out with a new slow-cooker and wish granted. LOVE IT!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I can’t get enough of this cooker. I recently moved into an apartment with a gas oven, which made me so upset at first. Not anymore, because I can do ANYTHING with this cooker. I’ve cooked chicken, tacos, used it as a crock pot, and I’m going to make homemade gluten free bread next. Totally worth it!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this new product figuring it would save time and counter space. The product looks impressive, but is hard to figure out how to use correctly. It comes with a small recipe booklet; however, most of the recipes are not for things I would make. I have tried to look up recipes for this product, but most recipes are for their other products. I guess I will have to just experiment and try to figure out our on my own.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am really impressed with everything the Ninja Foodi PossibleCooker PRO can do! I didn't know one appliance could slow cook, sous vide, bake, proof and more. I initially planned on using this mostly as a replacement for my old slow cooker but I am very excited that I can do way more with it! The PossibleCooker PRO is fairly large, so you will need a good amount of counter space for it or a place to store it when you are not using it. I really like the fact that the pot can come out and be its own serving dish. The look of the PossibleCooker PRO is beautiful and it is not something that I need to hide when guests come over! The functions are extremely easy to use even for someone who does not cook a lot! I am very happy I got this and will use it a ton!
