This multicooker stands out from its competition by simultaneously cooking two foods using two distinct techniques.
Utilizing its Smart Finish and Match Cook features, you can air fry or roast food while baking dessert in another basket.
Jaime Milan of Senior News and Lifestyle Editor found this model suitable for her kitchen space constraints. She particularly appreciated its sear function as well as its ease of use.
Cooking
An all-purpose multicooker that serves as a pressure cooker, steamer and slow cooker - as well as dehydrating, reheating and baking capabilities - with an attractive brushed stainless steel design to hide fingerprints.
Speedi Meals setting of this appliance stands out as its signature feature, using air frying and steaming techniques to quickly turn recipes into weeknight dinners in just minutes.
In addition, an 8-quart cooking pot and 5-quart Cook & Crisp basket can be attached for easier operation.
One major benefit of the appliance is its dual air frying compartments, enabling users to both roast chicken and air fry fries simultaneously.

One downside of the Ninja Combi Cooker is its lack of advanced programming features like timers or temperature probes, while its size means it takes up considerable counter space on your countertops; you'll require large cupboards with tall shelves in order to store it effectively.
Other than these issues, however, this kitchen appliance more than makes up for its $199 price tag!
Steaming
This multi-functional appliance is an invaluable asset for busy weeknight cooks.
Similar to an old-school stovetop pressure cooker, the Multicooker can quickly transform recipes into stew, soup or casserole; but unlike an Instant Pot or similar products it also combines slow cooker, air fryer and saute/sear capabilities in one machine!
The Combi has an intuitive digital display with icons for each function, making it simple to locate the settings you need.
Genene found its crisper tray useful and the chrome-plated roasting rack aesthetically pleasing; unfortunately however, Ninja decided on using dark plastic that matches their body rather than glass as its lid, which may prevent you from peeking in while slow cooking to check on progress and potentially avoid food evaporation.

This machine weighs the heaviest in our test, with its non-removable lid making it tricky to fit under cabinets.
Lifting and beeping noises can be disruptive when trying to sleep or cook quietly.
Air Frying
If air frying is your passion, this multicooker may be perfect. Not only does it function as an air fryer and slow cooker but it can also function as an oven with settings for roasting, dehydrating and reheating - this space-efficient multicooker makes an excellent addition to smaller kitchens.
An impressive feature is its dual-basket design, enabling users to cook two items simultaneously with different settings - for instance roast a chicken while air frying potatoes simultaneously!

Thin metal cooking pans lose heat faster than ceramic crocks or glass lids, so they may not be ideal for extended unattended cooking sessions.
Crock-Pot or Hamilton Beach slow cookers offer superior performance when set-and-forgeing recipes; for quicker food prep and delicious results, the Ninja promises faster prep while being multitasking appliances that make life simpler for busy homemakers.
Dehydrating
The Ninja Multicooker promises quick and convenient cooking - and it certainly lives up to that promise.
Genene found that her multicooker excelled at pressure and air frying as well as creating perfect hard boiled eggs in minutes!
But it can be quite pricey; we believe you would receive much greater performance from a classic multicooker from an established brand such as Hamilton Beach or Crock-Pot for less.
Turn the slow cooker into a stovetop oven for convenient heating and searing of meats before slow cooking them in your slow cooker.
However, as there is no removable insert, an additional pan must be used instead - meaning this appliance may not be as easily portable than others on the market.

The oven booklet includes recipes for these items and more, including how-to instructions on the matter.
Unfortunately it cannot accommodate full loaf or Bundt pans but works great when baking small items such as biscuits on sheet trays.
