Should I buy a ninja foodi 14-in-1??

[pearandsausage]

I'm tempted by a ninja foodi 14-in-1 but not sure what id actually make in it.

Has anyone got one and can advise? I have a slow cooker but everything I make tends to be watery.

Not sure what I'd actually make in the air fryer?

And then there's another 12 functions...my brain boggles!

Yet somehow I still want one?!

I'm a decent cook although limited on time atm as I have a 3 year old and a 12 weeker so cooking tends to be batch cooking or something to Chuck in the oven.

Help, should I buy one or not?!

We have one of these and have done for about 2 years now. It's great but I don't use 14 functions.

We use sear saute for browning meat.
We use pressure cook
We use slow cook
We use airfryer

That's it. But it's useful to have one contraption on the kitchen side that does all of those. We had got to the stage we had to buy a new slow cooker, wanted to buy an airfryer, and I'd never used a pressure cooker. So it was worth the investment.

I have the Instant Pot 11 in One. I use slow cooker, pressure cooker, air fryer, baker, steamer, mostly and have played around a bit with some of the others.

I'm considering buying a new oven or an air fryer. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I'd be interested in any replies to this as I just started a thread about the Ninja Foodi I just bought. I'm really hoping someone will say they bloody love it and it's been a game-changer!

I have the ninja foodi grill and air fryer, wouldn’t live without it and have had airfryers for the last ten years. I much prefer my current air fryer to these drawer versions though

I've got the 11 in 1 and I love it. Great for chicken, pasta dishes, and quickly cooking beige food for the kids (awaits Mumsnet judgement).

But I wouldn't say you could entirely replace your oven with it. Last night I did tacos and it was a faff cleaning out the pot in between cooking the chilli and heating the tacos as I didn't want to heat the oven just for those. I'm quite tempted to get a second pot for it. It's too small for pizzas etc and I've got the larger one.

I've got a ninja foodie 14 in 1 with smart lid. I use it mainly for airfry really. I do use the steam-airfry sometimes. But I think I could have got away with just the airfryer. Looking back I wish I went for the dual airfryer with a few other functions. As I tend to airfry more than one thing at a time and having dual compartments would help a lot. So I would get that instead of the foodie really. I need to start using more of the other functions to make it worth it!

I have one and I haven't used my oven in two years
