Amazon's Best-Selling Multi Cooker - Ninja Foodi Max 14-in-1 review (OL650UK)

Hi Clara! Is it possible to prepare broccoli, rice and chicken fillet at the same time with this device? 🙂

[@TexasRivermedic]

The most useful tool in my kitchen for over two years.I have an older model with two lids; this is definitely worth it. I love that I can do everything in one pot; significantly makes it easier and reduces cleaning. Made yogurt last week, always use the pressure cooker, air fryer and sauté features. I can see where the meat probe can be handy, but most of my roasts get shredded for tacos, burritos, chili verde, etc. and I just know the temps and time to cook them at. I also love that I don’t have three separate machines taking up space. If you buy one, KZbin can be your best friend for how to get using it.

[@CandidClara]

Thank you for the feedback, I’m sure it will be useful for people reading the comments 😁

[@jakeoo7tupperware]

It seems in US website they are no longer listing this model or giving prominence to this. They are listing new models which have everything but pressure cook function in it. How's the pressure cook function in this to cook lamb, beef stew or chicken curry etc? Is the air fryer worth it or better to buy separate air-fryer with wider surface?

[@maureengibbons9472]

I'm in New zealand, we only have e 14 in 1 here I have had one for 12 months, and I love it, I use it every day

[@CandidClara]

That’s great to hear, thank you for the comment!

[@jakt3942]

it's not big enough simple as. it may weigh a ton but it's not big enough. it does too many things not as well as other more targeted products. it's not a patch on ninja's own purpose made air fryer and it doesn't come remotely close to the 9.5 litre instant pot (sadly no longer in production - why??????????)

[@CandidClara]

Hahah, so I'm curious, what do you have? A Ninja air fryer?

[@carolandmarkc9287]

they've been discontinued! many lawsuits regarding explosions when pressure cooking. that goes for all brands too. My son's just died and you can't buy them anymore. Mine works great but I wont use the pressure function anymore

[@CandidClara]

They are still for sale here in the UK

[@HumpaLumpaBiriBam]

yes one pot to do it all, it can be done, as proof of concept. But I find it unpractical. After a while I end up with 3 appliances that works for me: Electric Grill (OptiGrill Tefal) + AirFryer/Press.Cooker (InstantPot Duo) + Thermomix (tm6). I rarely use home oven (mostly for pizza, due to its size) OR cooker, mostly to heat up something or fry eggs.

[@CandidClara]

I completely agree, but I guess everyone will have different favourites!

[@matthewwhitaker4849]

Nice video. Question, I can't seem to find this on the official sight... is Ninja making these still?

[@CandidClara]

They seem to have been absent from Ninja’s own site for a while, but Amazon and other retailers have stick, I’m not sure why

[@vinusakthi83]

Hi Clara, have you reviewed cosori pressure cooker?

[@CandidClara]

No, but I really should. I will add it to the list. So many appliances, so little time!

[@NorthEastSpiders]

I've just moved home and currently in the new place while it gets a kitchen refit, me mam had this sitting in the back of her cupboard for months if not years so I thought I'd bring it and it's been great! It was a slow slog working it out though and I'm happy I found this video because I thought I might have been overreacting about the noise as I'd never used an air fryer before so had never heard one before but my god is it loud. Great video straight to the point and covered everything I wanted to know, I'll show me mam the video and maybe she'll see how she could get use out of it because I think I'll try out a normal air fryer instead once the kitchens done.

[@CandidClara]

Thanks for the comment, I promise you regular air fryers are nowhere near as noisy! 😄

[@oldscribe6153]

My brain just exploded - but what a brilliant review.

[@CandidClara]

Hahaha, scrape up the bits, I’m sure you can make a combi meal out of it! 😉

[@WichertBrantjes]

Thanks and thanks again, straight to the points and very helpful and no music or gush, bought the lesser model but extremely pleased with all the results, winner.

[@CandidClara]

Thanks for your comment x

[@PaulRansonArt]

This definitly is a monster machine. But could this be the way forward with minimalist kitchen design. Throw out the oven, toaster, bread maker and hob. Just keep the kettle... unless you can make tea in this as well! - Great video Clara 😃😃😎😎

[@Zastrutzki]

Pretty sure nobody has ever made yoghurt in one of these. Or any Intant Pots, for that matter. Great video, about to bite the bullet on this hulking machine!

[@CandidClara]

Even I didn’t make yoghurt in it and I usually test everything! 😆

[@TheFakeyCakeMaker]

Really good video. You're a natural, very professional. A channel to keep an eye on, think you'll grow big tbh

[@CandidClara]

Thank you so much, that’s really appreciated

[@are_you_smarter_than_a_LLM]

Agreed

[@Maleezza]

Do u have a video of making bread or cakes in this Ninja? Thanks for the video.

[@CandidClara]

Hello! I don't currently as I focus on the appliances themselves rather than cooking in them, but it's always good to have feedback and it may be something I consider in the future

[@Maleezza]

@@CandidClara ok. Because you made the perfect texture bread. I would love to see a video of yours showing how you make your breads. Hi from the United States. 🙂

[@CandidClara]

Ahh that’s the steam bake setting! It really adds to it, but thank you, it’s useful feedback!

[@sergeyking343]

Liked your review was done well I think you covered everything that needs to be known. Personally for my situation I think I would end up loosing if I bought a multi cooker as we already have an oven, dehydrator, and a couple other things . I'm just looking for more of a slow cooker or pressure cooker. Thanks again

[@CandidClara]

Thank you for the comment, it’s really appreciated and yes I agree it’s very easy to end up with too many gadgets and the multi cooker is huge too!

[@pkcwatermakers85]

Thank you for your review! What would you recommend as a better buy: the Ninja Foodi Dual Zone or the Foodi Max 14-in-1?

[@CandidClara]

As I say at the end (skip to 11:34! 😉) it very much depends on why you are buying it and how you think you will use it….

[@christianjosephkarner]

Some might know the sound of a Boeing Triple 7. That.

[@CandidClara]

😆😆😆😆

[@rogerterry5013]

Give customers too much choice and they never make a decision.

[@CandidClara]

Absolutely!

[@uruzzo]

I like the one I have that uses two lids that works perfect for everything.

[@CandidClara]

Thanks for the comment

[@Michael-nf2go]

Pretty much perfect, would be better without the toxic teflon coating, but I’m sure there’s a stainless steal pot on Amazon somewhere.

[@CandidClara]

The coating is PTFE/PFOA free nano-ceramic

[@Michael-nf2go]

Wasn’t aware, thanks for the info, would still prefer stainless steal, but ceramic is a lot better than teflon, I love this thing though, great product, literally use it every day.

[@CandidClara]

Lots of people are asking for a review of something entirely free of coatings so it is something I am researching and plan to do

[@dlbeck2023]

Live mine and have used it from the day I bought it home.

[@CandidClara]

Good to hear!

[@andrewm-gw5oz]

Ninja must have sent all of their Foodi pressure cooker/air fryer's to the UK. They are not available in the US at the manufactures website.

[@CandidClara]

It’s the same here with many models, though Amazon has stock 🤷‍♀️

[@radiantgale]

Amazon should still have stock. They've delisted these last year or so in favor of the Speedi it seems. Maybe because it's cheaper to make since it doesn't have pressure cooking capabilities or maybe there was not enough margin in these products with skyrocketing prices of materials. Might also be doing a refresh like they always do and have new models next year or something. Prime day is coming up, perhaps you can snag it at a great deal then

[@FHunt-mt4bf]

I have the original 6.5 quart and the 8 qt 14 in 1 smart lid. I love and use both weekly in 2 households.

[@dbpike]

@@radiantgalesnagged mine on Prime Day! Took a while to arrive and had to give the driver a code but so pleased to have this. However, I don’t have a clue yet what I am doing!!! lol.

[@Glitch_343]

I've been using the 11 in 1 for about 2 years now and whilst i find it good, the only functions i seem to use are the pressure cooker and the air fryer settings. This video is probably the most useful one I've seen so far as you give examples of what to actually cook in each setting. Many thanks for the helpful video 🙂

[@CandidClara]

I think that is probably typical of most people. I did really like teh pulled pork we did in ours. Thank you so much for the comment.

[@lulgoogleuser8273]

Had the 11 in 1 for approx 1 year, couldn't cook before I bought it and now wow, now thanks to KZbin I slow cook diced steak pressure cook chilli, air fry roast dinners do all in one meals it's a god send only problem a little on the small size if your cooking for .more than two people..

[@CandidClara]

It’s really interesting hearing your experience! I’m going to be reviewing the Ninja 12-in-1 countertop multicooker which is very interesting, a lot of the same settings, but front opening rather than top

[@wendyrowland7787]

I had one bought for me on a special £100 off price. So far have not used it, having a Ninja which grills, bakes, air fries, roasts and dehydrates. Also bought for me on a special offer. I expect to use this one to roast a bigger joint, prove and bake bread but I prefer my pressure cookers on an induction hob particularly for bottling.

[@CandidClara]

The bread proving is also my favourite feature

[@califa31]

very good review, thanks

[@CandidClara]

Thank you!

[@0rtmasta]

I own the 15-1 it’s an amazing product! Highly recommend. 😊

[@CandidClara]

Really pleased to hear that

[@susannejoest566]

Thanks Clara, very useful. So the pot is non-stick? Is it coated with Teflon / PFAS, or ceramic, or something else? And can you tell if the pot is Aluminum or stainless steel.

[@CandidClara]

The pot is aluminum with a non-stick PTFE-free ceramic coating

[@eithnehilliard4103]

Hi Clare, Thank you, great to have some input on the 14-in-1, we got it a few years ago and really only now using it. This evening I'm using it for baked potatoes, I have done a whole chicken in it, and it was amazing the taste, but I'm lost as to what else I can do, I do like to make Brown Bread and will try it. My husband actually bought it as I was a bit incapacitated as I had a new knee to contend with and he is no Cook, has he used it, No, simply answer, its down to me and now after a second knee and a spinal operation, I'm trying to find my way around it. I'll look again at your info, because you seem to be the only person talking about 14-in-1. Thank you, Eithne

[@CandidClara]

Thank you for your comment Eithne, very interesting to read that you are another person who has had it for a while without using it, definitely try the bread and cakes and indeed proving bread!

[@izziegilpin7588]

Thank you for your review!! Can you set an actual temperature on the slow cooker? For eg 40 degrees? Or is it only low and high? Cheers! 😊

[@CandidClara]

It just has high or low settings

Well the pot does not look bad but huge!

[@CandidClara]

It is a little unwieldy

[@christianjosephkarner]

@@CandidClara I bought it now but You need really to take Your time and practise cooking with it. But the fries were great and I also cooked a Gulyash. But its heavy and HUGE! One thing is also the noise. Mama mia! Like a Jet Engine! But for me its cool because I use to travel a lot in my job and I have everything in one device. 😅 edit: Think it is also great for people with a caravan or mobile home.

[@CandidClara]

I thought you were going to say “I used to travel a lot for my job so I’m used to the sound of jet engines!” 😆😆

[@christianjosephkarner]

@@CandidClara 😎😅

[@dbpike]

I appreciate this video. I just picked up one of these on Amazon Prime day. My inspiration was visiting with my daughters and seeing their cookers in operation. I’ve had it a week and made sun dried tomates from my garden, bread, three item meals and fries. I am very impressed so far. However… the manuals leave a LOT to be desired. Yes they have a few menus and speak of generalities in cooking. However they absolutely need to discuss each cooking mode in detail with considerations and recommended settings. Anyway, I suspect with time, and a few failures, I’ll eventually get it. That said, so far I am am definitely in the honeymoon stage of my relationship! 😂

[@CandidClara]

I’m very envious of the sundried tomatoes! No tomatoes on my plant yet 😉

[@dbpike]

@@CandidClaraI live just outside of Valencia Spain. I hesitate to say that I am considering planting a second crop of tomatoes! That said, I am originally from eastern Canada. Even when I planted early variety tomatoes there, I could only harvest green tomatoes before frost. So I understand!

[@gaeldamianakis1234]

Hi can you please provide more information on the three tier cooking method - what mode is that you put it on to do this? I don’t completely understand that but it’s what appeals to me most as I want to cook the entire meal f different components in the one appliance thanks

[@CandidClara]

Hi, it is confusing! This is from my transcript, I hope it helps, but also be assured that Ninja provide a very good instruction/recipe book which has a step by step of several meals using this method. “If you are doing steam meals your liquid can be something like a stock or a pasta sauce and one of the really useful features of the 14 in 1 which is why a lot of people on their own love it, is that you can create layered meals where you cook three very different parts of a meal on and below the tiered rack, so for example at the bottom you might start with rice with water obviously, then in the middle you add vegetables on foil and on the top directly beneath the heating element you have your meat or fish so you can cook it all together and you don’t need any other appliances or cooking utensils.”

[@radiantgale]

You can use the 3 tier cooking for steam and steam and crisp settings. On the bottom you add water/stock/broth plus grains or noodles. Then you add the rack and place veggies(etc) in the middle and protein on the top. If using steam and crisp, it crisps up your protein. There's some times mentioned in the booklet it gives you. You can also look into the Ninja Speedi booklet for ideas too since it's core feature is very similar (if not the same) to steam and crisp, just with a 15 min timer by default. You should be able to find the booklets on the site. This type of cooking isn't really new either, except if you want to use the steam and crisp for multi tier cooking to crisp up your protein, that's the perk of getting this for multi tier cooking. It's something you can set up with racks in other multi cookers or steam machines. You can also search online for recipes to give you a better idea how it works in practice, and whether you want to get this multi cooker for that alone or make something you have already work instead.

[@cristianrusica5490]

can you cook rice in this one ?

[@roknovak4155]

The noise: is it noisy in all modes or just in the air fryer mode?

Hi, apologies for the delay replying. We move house today and I really want to double check this appliance before I give you the answer, so how you can bear with me for a couple of days

[@Cr4y7-AegisInquisitor]

@@CandidClara Are you done moving? 🤗

[@CandidClara]

I completely forgot to repy to you! It's easier to say which functions it isn't noisy on which are the slow ones like prove, saute and slow cooker and I would imagine yoghurt although I never did get round to using that.

[@Cr4y7-AegisInquisitor]

@@CandidClara Got one for myself. Pressure cooking is quiet and air frying is loud. Probably the fan is my guess. Those are the only ones I tested so far 👀

[@chrisfox3161]

just bought an 11 in one. Not bought as an air fryer. Bought to replace the steamer, slow cooker and add a pressure cooker. Big.. Yes. Noisy.. yes.. I SAID YES! Fits in the same footprint as the slow cooker. Steamer will be in the bin tomorrow. Looking good so far. Kitchen overhead cupboards aren't the stupid bang your head on low so it fits on the worktop and the lid lifts.

[@CandidClara]

Fantastic! Have fun with it!

We are. Trying the steam/air fryer function. Works at reheating a pie beautifully. Bread and cakes next. But never, ever, chips.
