Ninja’s unique TenderCrisp Technology allows you to cook and crisp at the same time. Cook tasty dishes up to 70% quicker than traditional techniques with the Pressure Lid, then switch to the Crisping Lid for a beautiful golden finish.

The Ninja Foodi Max 7-in-1 Multi-Cooker is an excellent kitchen appliance for large families seeking a device that can dehydrate, bake, crisp, roast, and lots more.

You’ll especially love that it can cook an entire 3kg of chicken in under 45 minutes and makes an excellent choice for small parties, and can even double as a grill for a small backyard barbecue.

Although it’s pretty large, the number of functions you can handle on this device makes up its size. Here’s an excellent device that cuts down your fat intake and doubles the speed of your cooking. Plus, it brings to you air frying, slow cooking, pressure cooking, and a grill set-up in one gadget. So, you can look forward to spectacular one-pot goodness; fluffy roast baby potatoes, sweet potato hash to stuffed peppers, deliciously crisped chicken nuggets, and lots more.

The Ninja 7-in1 Multi-cooker is one of the largest and heaviest of the bunch. Its sheer size is backed by a wide range of capabilities and powerful technology to ensure you can enjoy a vast range of recipes without guilt. 

The Air fryer mode does not disappoint. You can always enjoy perfectly crisp chicken nuggets with almost no oil applied. As said earlier, you can fry as much as 3 kg chickens using the air fryer model.

I especially love the Roast mode, which also doubles as a Bake mode for making succulent pastries, cookies, apple chips, bread twists, and lots more.

Another personal favourite is the grill mode. You can look forward to delightful steak, charred to the right consistency and texture, packed with flavourful goodness. You can always try out making zucchini and squashed, seasoned reasonably with your favourite sauce, pepper and salt, alongside some jumbo shrimp. I also recommend using oils with high smoke points such as avocado, grapeseed, or canola oils if you must to prevent smoking.

Pressure cooking comes to play when using the Slow Cook mode. So, the first step should be swapping your air frying lid for the pressure cooking lid. This introduces a great deal of speed that will cut down the expected length of time required by most slow-cooked meals. The incredible speed and tightly closed lid ensure that all juices and flavours will be entirely locked in to create delicious and flavourful meals that bring your taste buds to life. Being able to whip up stew in less than thirty minutes is sure to come in handy more frequently.

You can always pressure cook your meats to achieve tender and juicy results with ease. You’ll also love the Steam mode for making healthy veggies, cauliflower rice, and Mediterranean medleys. You don’t need fat to steam, and you can always use little water with no worries about having the nutrients in your food washed away.

If you need inspiration, you can always use the Kickstarter guide that comes with your air fryer. However, this air fryer is powerful. Therefore the temperature and length of time for each recipe might be off. I recommend checking your meal from time to time to ensure it doesn’t overcook. Don’t forget to use the pause button each time you want to check.

Sturdy and ergonomic design

This device is enormous, which means it is not as attractive and compact as you would expect and will not fade into the background.

It also comes with two lids, one hinged permanently and the other, which is the pressure cooking lid, detachable. This means you need to consider space not only for placing your device but the hinged cover and ventilation. It’s also quite heavy, so this worktop should be one you can have your air fryer placed upon permanently.

Regardless, it makes up for its gigantic and overwhelming design in generous capacity and easy-to-understand operational buttons. Your multi-cooker has a dedicated panel to the size of the machine where you can quickly set up temperature, length of time, and pressure when cooking. It also features a black and grey glossy exterior that matches all kinds of kitchen décor.

Varying temperature and time range

The adjustable timer and temperature setting give you flexibility; you can cook at a high temperature for 4 hours and 12 hours or at a low temperature anywhere between 6-12 hours. After cooking, the air fryer automatically switches to a 30 minutes Keep warm mode. This provides ample time if you’ve left the air fryer for some time. If that’s not enough, you have the convenient option of keeping your food warm for up to 12 hours.

Complete control

Once you have experimented for some time, there’s no doubt you would become an expert at pre-setting the correct temperature and time for your meals. Ninja Foodi is so unique that you can control everything about preparing your meals to the smallest details. You would especially enjoy this benefit when grilling. Unlike backyard grilling, the Ninja Foodi ensures you can grill and enjoy consistent results without poking your meat cuts. All you need is to set the time, add your ingredients, set the cooking function, and the air fryer handles the rest of the job. However, if you are a perfectionist like I am, you can always ‘help the meat along’ by using a pair of silicone tongs to flip your meat cuts halfway through.

Easy to clean and Dishwasher safe

Washing and cleaning this appliance is hassle-free and doesn’t take much of your time, thanks to the ceramic-coated and dishwasher-friendly parts. You only require a damp cloth or sponge and washing liquid to wipe down smudge marks.

Plus, the advantage of a grilling plate, crisping basket, and multipurpose cooking pot mean you don’t have to wash many things. The inner nonstick parts can easily be popped into the dishwasher for convenient washing.
