Ninja 11 in 1

[AliasGrape]

Is it worth it? Do you have one and would you recommend?

We just have an aldi air fryer, the dual drawer one I got 3 or 4 years back and we do use it loads. I’m thinking to upgrade it/ add to it - we’d like something big enough to do eg a whole chicken in for example. Have some Christmas money and like the idea of these, to have the slow cook and pressure cook function as well all in one. But if it’s not recommended I’ll just stick with a cheap basic air fryer.

I went all out and got the 15 in 1 and I love it

Cooked the whole of the christmas dinner in it this year - bar the roasties which I did in my dedicated air fryer

ooh I didn’t even realise there was a 15 in 1!

I have a ninja something (10 maybe) n one. I love it. Curries are fantastic and so so easy in it. Christmas meat was incredible (steam bake).

I've used Chat GPT to help me get to grips with it, I snap what I'm cooking with a ? And it gives me a set of instructions. I use the steam and bake/airfry etc options the most.

But it wont replace entirely an oven option that can bung multiple different stuff in at once.

Jack of all trades, master of none! I'd stick with your existing air fryer and buy an electric pressure cooker, if you cook the sort of food it's good at, soups, stews etc.

It's a beast of a machine - big - and heavy. I have it on a trolly that I can move around with ease and its low enough then to look into

It does near on everything, proves and bakes bread, yoghurt maker, dehydrator, steams, roast, pressure cooks and slow cooks as well as air fry - and a combination of all

I use the PC , steam roast, yoghurt functions the most

Christmas dinner went like this - Gammon on PC with probe - 2 kg took about 40 mins Gammon out - lentils in the stock, back onto PC - soup made in 10 min. Whole boned rolled turkey ( 2kg ) on steam roast with probe - 40 mins . That out, the glazed gammon in on air fry . That done, carrots and parsnips on PC for mashing - 7 mins, then the spuds in to par cook on pc for 4 mins. Then when I was ready to get the dinner together, cauliflower and sprout in PC - 3 mins

I do have two inner pots which makes the juggling so much easier but the whole dinner done in under two hours, no steamed up kitchen and just two pots to clean - bliss

I did the roasties and pigs in my standalone air fryer
