Ninja Foodi Steam Fryer Pressure Cooker & Air Fryer SMARTLID w/ only 1 Lid - 6 month review

[@glendalloyd7052]

Awesome I love this machine but it doesn’t quite match my budget right now. Maybe next year but I really enjoy watching it

[@elizabetharregoces9662]

How much it’s?

[@Albertojedi]

$229 right now on Amazon, down from $349.

[@JohnSanders]

Is that the one with the thermometer... Because i would buy another if so

[@JohnSanders]

Wow!!!

[@Albertojedi]

@@JohnSanders Yes, John. Its the OL701, the one with the temp probe. In fact, the OL601 (8 QT without the temp is $234). It looks that this deal was part of their Prime days, but right now it still available. It has a 34% discount and it is sold and fulfilled by Amazon. Run and get one!🤞🤞

[@jimbrown98]

I have the OL701 as well and I love it! Used it twice yesterday. As a single man (divorced) I cook a lot of stuff and put it in food-saver bags in my freezer and have a variety of things to eat whenever I want to! Thank you for all your videos and keep them coming!

[@edyoung6573]

Fantastic review and update John!!! Unfortunately my Ninja Foodi deluxe (original) is still going strong lol, I wanted one of these (the one with the temp probe) right when they came out! I/we use our's 5 days out of the week (actually me because my wife doesn't really cook that much) My wife said "no way Ours works perfectly!" so I have to wait till it dies. Your The King of Ninja foodi videos!

[@mariahchill9601]

Love this review alot better than other people's because you go into better detail and actually show us how to do it ❤️ I'd love to see a chili video!

[@RavingRobin69]

“ You know why it looks so good? That’s because it is!” Love it!

[@sulfurcitynews]

I was happy watching this video and then my neighbor came by and we watched it together... it changed our lives. He said that this video touched his heart. We took a projector in a big field and all my neighbors watched it, which changed their lives too... I'm so grateful. Thank you.

The steam and crisp with temp probe is my favorite of my Ninja appliances too. I use mine several times a week. That pork roasts is to die for.

[@gwendolyncrutcher7236]

Thank You so much. I always look for you when I need an honest person to tell me the truth when it comes to reviews

[@JohnSanders]

Thank you... That means a lot and I'm glad to hear that

[@cmh8fl]

I love the sous vide feature. Your video when you did the Ninja and a sous vide machine made me want to use the Ninja. I just did a steak in it and it came out perfectly. It was easy and effortless. And this is all thanks to your video. So even though you don't prefer the Ninja for sous vide, you made a believer out of me!!!

[@karolosteen3313]

Oh how I wish the smaller one came with the probe and the auto pressure release. I am 67 & live alone and can't see a need for the large one for me. Thank you for your honest review :)

[@alcurtis93]

Me too. I want the smaller one with features of the bigger. I kind of want to see instant version of the this tech come out

[@Cattitude48]

Me too Karol and Alex. The 8 qt is too big for my needs.

[@noneyanoneya5829]

How about 6 qt. Freeze extra

Hi! At 9m46s you said the lid got stuck on your frozen food. This is because it should be the foil side touching the food. AND it's easier to write on the paper side 🤗

Hi John, thanks for this thorough demo. Are these machines always so loud with that whine? Doesn’t it bother you? I’m having second thoughts… I don’t think I could live with that. 😥

[@mrgunn2726]

Love your reviews! Keep of the great work Mr. Sanders.

[@bnunesc]

Thanks for the review. On my old ninja the heating element and fan get dirty after air frying a lot. I wonder if on the new one the same happens, and if that dirt mixes up with food being cooked with pressure since the lid is the same. Can you share your thoughts on that? Thank you

[@lisagill9971]

Thank you. I was on the fence on buying this upgrade but I believe it will be worth it. 👼🏻💞💐

[@barbarasapp1234]

Notice watching when you took the temperature did hit 156 F. Just as you went to remove it. That's a important thing to me the reason that I mention it is watching a lot of other channels bon this. Was thinking if should buy one. The temperature is off quite a few that I have watched. It does look yummy 😋

[@jeffreyayers2664]

Another great video! You have really stepped up your game!!

[@Kjgunn1111]

Hi John - great video, thank you. Does the Smartlid make the Ninja more difficult to clean?

[@JohnSanders]

Not that I've noticed... it doesn't have a shield over the element so it might be a little easier... but I haven't haven't felt it needed cleaning yet...

[@sandradavis4359]

I like the one with the thermometer better. Thanks for another great video!❤️❤️

[@CindyOsborne-TDWP]

Could you please tell me what model number has the temp probe?

[@13699111]

Which one ninja cooker do you recommend that will cook everything ? I can't decide what one is best choice for me . Thank you for posting this video series.

I love your question, I'm thinking about this. It will be my only kitchen appliance for cooking for a family of five. No stove. What has your experience been?

[@henrychinaski5306]

What function is best used to reheat pasta, like penne with some chicken breast? Also, do you think we can leave our food overnight in the Ninja Foodi?

[@gr8fng]

G'day from Australia John. Are you still happy with this device ... I've read there are issues with breakdowns just out of warranty with nil service support. Would appreciate a 2yr update pls

[@You_Can_FOO_It]

Recently found your videos, and I was curious, if you had to choose between the Ninja Foodi XL w/Smart Lid or the Ninja Speedi, and why? Thanks!

[@kathyfann]

Is it better than the first one They made that we both used daily and had success after success

[@donnawynn9143]

I have 4, yes 4 Instant Pots, husband bought this one for the size and temp probe. My question is simple....the rubber gasket is hell to get out/in. Is it ok to not wash it every single time? signed guilty.... lolol

[@mrfonch]

what lid is that ,is it special from ninja or just one you had ?

[@PercussionImprovisations]

Hey Jelly007, quick question: Do you think it's possible to use an external leave in thermometer with the 14 in 1? The version with the built in thermometer is quite a bit more expensive and harder to find. I''m wondering if I can just use my own and stop the cooking myself. Thank you!

[@DavidD-bg7uo]

That's a really good question that I have myself. I was wondering if the probe for my Thermoworks smoke would be compatible for the Ninja. Hope someone can answer this question.

[@PercussionImprovisations]

@@DavidD-bg7uo I ended up getting the OL701 with the thermometer built into the lid 😂😂😂 it's excellent!

[@akatom2u]

Thank you for showing me this, I'll be looking to buy one.

[@loricolumbia]

I love your videos. I just purchased this yesterday. When reading it says always keep it the vent closed. Maybe that's why you lost your liquid when reheating your frozen dinner?

[@danielycampos8512]

Hi, could you ask me a question? Apart from the size and thermometer, do all models do the same thing? pressure comes out on its own, grill...

[@tracyharris666]

Hi John FANTASTIC video! I have the one with the probe a few months now and love it. Can you please tell me what size foil pan you use? I never thought about doing that but its a great idea since I live alone and ALWAYS have too much food leftover hahaha.

[@suziekiehn5553]

I’d like to know about those tin pans too. Great idea.

[@m.walker7907]

Just buy the round ones,or buy the loaf pan. I use foil pans in my smoker.

Did I miss the recipe for the biscuits in the steam crisp? Where can I see the whole thing? They look delicious.

[@barbarasapp1234]

Your 3 months ago meal roast, notice while taking the temp. The last time you where checking temp. Last area poke remove quickly was 159F. Could have when up a bit more if left couple sec. more. Still think the Temperature isn't reading as it should. Even the. H. B meat the temp was different on both of them. For got bloody price of one of these this area of cooking should be spot-on.

[@DavidD-bg7uo]

One feature I noticed on this unit is there is no display saying OFF when the unit is still plugged-in but not in use. It may seem like a small thing but that's something I really dislike on the Instant Pot brands I have. Both my air fryer and pro models do it, and it's the one gripe I have about them, just seems redundant to me.

[@stevejohnston2138]

I just got one from amazon.. didnt get the clear lid. Is the lid an extra?

Don't forget the automatic delayed and quick pressure release modes as well as the digital touch buttons that are exclusive of the OL750 (Europe) and OL701 (USA).

I have the OL701 and I love it. I agree with your analysis for the most part. Putting in the silicone ring is difficult and awkward for me. Have you discovered an easy way to get it in? I have tried the sous vide function with chicken breasts. They came out juicy!

[@rickynorris6592]

Glad to see you back 😀

[@krisbedgood6055]

You had success with souvid on prior models. Is this the same or worse?

[@JohnSanders]

I haven't actually tried it in this unit... I've had a lot of inconsistent test with these but it could probably be done...

[@ramidaoud3776]

can we utilise the thermometer in baking bread?

[@MostlyDrones]

Warm up and the +20 minutes for bacon? I could do that much faster/economic on my frying pan.

[@keviningram1914]

I had the UK version of this and it stopped last week after 18 months with a "slide" error. Ninja don't do any repairs in the UK. I'm on my second one this week and hope I don't get a repeat otherwise it will be the end of Ninja product for me,

[@dfcrone]

Jelly does it use a ring inside still for pressure cooking? (Silicone?)

[@JohnSanders]

Yes...

[@misluckymo]

Hi John, I was wondering how you would compare this to the Instant Pot Duo Crisp ultimate lid? Would you recommend the Foodi? I'm wondering if in the Instant Pot you could steam and then air fry for similar results? And does the thermometer seem to be accurate? I've seen some reviews saying it's not. Thanks!

[@JohnSanders]

I'm sure it could be done but not simple and I've heard the thing said about the thermometer but that has not been my experience... it has been very very close to my $100 dollar thermapen every time I have compared or tested... not sure what others are doing but I think this is the best device on the market by far for pressure cooking and does a really good job at air frying also... (among other things)... and this is just my personal opinion... I'm not sponsored or compensated in anyway shape form or fashion just happy to see that a thermometer is finally available that can be used under pressure while pressure cooking... that solved a big problem of having to guess cook times of many pressure cooking recipes which often ended up severely over cooked or worse... undercooked... sorry to run long on answer just don't think this device is getting the credit it deserves... thanks for watching... jelly

[@misluckymo]

@@JohnSanders Have you considered replacing the ceramic pot with a stainless steal pot? I have heard people buy a separate one to replace the ceramic one.

[@Special_FX]

​@@misluckymoI wonder about replacing the ceramic with stainless steel too. I prefer one that can't be scratched

[@robertmerrill9849]

I got the Smart XL unit and am, mostly, happy with it (replaced the 6.5qt foodi). The one major issue I have is with making a large batch of steel cut oats. I make 8 servings at a time and that's 6 cups of water and 2 cups of oats. The foodi did a great job and I only needed to clean the pot when done. With this one, I open it and there are oats on the heating element, the silicone ring and other parts of the lid. Takes a bit of time to clean it and I can't get it all off the heating element. It makes a horrible smell when it burns off during air frying. I have tried quick and natural release. Seeing as how this is a larger pot, and this never happened to the foodi, I don't see how it happens. I tried the sous vide on a chuck roast and it was interesting. Not sure if the 36 hours was worth it when I could have just pressure cooked it for an hour. Overall, it is a great upgrade and I used it multiple times a week along with the XL Grill. Thanks for all these great videos. I'm going to try you pork loin roast soon.

[@alcurtis93]

You could try putting the deluxe rack on top of the oats to reduce chance of them flying up when reducing pressure?

[@cathypeacock4916]

I agree about the one lid, would be more cleaning to do….I am happy with my 8qt two lids….I just did boil eggs…it amazing about the peeling off so easy….

[@thatoneguy9977]

How do you clean that lid since it can't be removed, and you can't even move the heating element or fan components? It seems like anything you pressure cook or air fry is going to taint the taste of whatever you cook next time since you can't remove that lid or get behind the element, all the steam from a new pressure cook would condense on every surface of that lid and drip down onto the food. Even just one air fry will put a coating of grease and odor on all the surfaces of the lid. How are you cleaning this lid?

[@JohnSanders]

I have not had to manually clean it yet but I think that when using air fry it cleans all previous cooks... within reason

[@TheInsecureChef]

Greetings. Add 4 cups of water to the ceramic pot. Close the lid, set to STEAM for 30 minutes. Does a great job and any stubborn issues brush with a long handle bottle brush (Amazon - Long Straw Brush, Nylon Pipe Tube Cleaner 8.2-ihch 10 Different Diameters) That can be bent into any shape to reach any place.
