Ninja Foodi PRO Sous Vide | New York Strip Steak 11 in 1 Unboxing Demo Review Test NEW for 2020

[@ljaygould]

John...always enjoy your videos! I have an original unit and have followed your recipes (Steak with Smashed Potatoes - only way I cook 'em now and I HAVE an Anova sous-vide!) I'm curious about the replacement for the crisper basket; how deep does it sit? I wonder if you could (not necessarily on video but maybe) compare the size of the pots for the new 6.5 vs the old and tell us if maybe we can cook a larger chicken with the new one? Also, I guess they gave up the tall trivet. Can you do the steak/smashed potato recipe in this one as well? The crisper lid might be farther away from the steak and/or the new trivet too far down to put potatoes under it. I'm eager to see you work more with this unit and evaluate the advantages and disadvantages. Thanks for all you do!

[@JohnSanders]

Very good point Jay... not needing or using the basket will allow for a larger chicken than before and the steak and smashed potato recipe should work really well in this one... thanks for pointing that out and I might just do that one tonight!!! Thanks again...and thanks for watching!!!

I don't get why you would ever have to pay for any equipment from Ninja considering how many of those things that you have sold. You should be sent their stuff first. I would never have purchased my Foodi Deluxe without your videos, and that's a fact. Anyway, this is another great video. You're the man.

[@JohnSanders]

Thank you... I'm not sure how they decide who to send stuff to... i have never asked them to send me anything and maybe that's why... i do like that deluxe and thanks for trusting my review enough to help in your decision... thanks for your kind comments and thank you for watching!!!

[@7heRedBaron]

I agree 100%. There are KZbinrs on the Ninja commercial who haven’t torn them down as hard as John has. I keep waiting for him to show up on QVC.

[@makeit2649]

Hi, I'm sorry if I missed this in the comments, or in the video, but where did you get the round glass lid with the sous vide hole? I'm currently using a silicone lid with a cut-out for the circulator, but would love to have one of these instead, and here's why. My circulator has a non-removable clip, so I have to wrestle out the clip pin when I use it in my repurposed-ice-chest-turned-sous-vide container (for large batches). Then when I want to use it in a pot in my kitchen, I have to wrestle to get the clip pin back in. Having a pot lid like yours means no clip needed even when using the smaller pot in the kitchen, which would be great! Thanks for your help and your videos. New subscriber here!

[@bc1248]

Just an observation, the Anova pot had alot more water to come to temp.

[@JohnSanders]

Yes and I meant to point that out so it taking longer is understandable...thanks for bringing that up and thanks for watching!!!

I think it is the surface water temp diameter. The pro may have a wider heating element. Just a maybe.

What's in the container you are putting on the steak? Salt? Just haven't seen that size tub. We have the Instant Pot Duo Crisp +Air fryer. It has the Sousvide option...so I'm DEFINITELY going to try this out.

[@JohnSanders]

It is a finishing salt... or flake salt from Jacobsen...I love the stuff... I thought the sous vide function on the Duo crisp was a little slow to come up to temp and I haven actually tried a steak in it but let us know how it does...thanks for watching!!!

[@rapture__78]

@@JohnSanders Great thank you! So, you're simply saying that it may take an extra few minutes to get to say...130 degrees? The ability to stay there isn't in question, yes?

I have the 8 qt as well yesterday I was tinkering around and found the low setting will stay consistent from 133/135% I checked Temps every 5 minutes and checked for 1 hour. With the exception of first heating up temps hit 142 then quickly dropped to 133/135 range . I gave it about 10-15 minutes to get to temp .

Great video John. I'm interested in the 8 quart size Ninja but also want to cook sous vide :) Do you think it's possible to do it manually with the larger version (for example by setting a fix temperature for X time?) ? Or it must have a dedicated program for that purpose? Thanks!

[@JohnSanders]

I'm not sure I would make the decision over the probe... there are other methods to track temp...I think the size and the fold up feature of the first one would be a more of the decision for me...I hope this helps and thanks for watching!!!

[@ivegas1000]

Another great video, John. Perfect timing as I have been checking out the "Pro" version locally and as you mentioned the crisp basket (original 6.5) vs the the crisp plate (pro) is the main difference (plus couple extra functions in the Pro). Do you find cleaning easier with the crisp plate as I have seen other commented about the basket having nooks and crannies that's hard to clean? On the other hand, some also said basket is easier to shake the contents inside for more even seasoning and heating? Does either basket or plate made out of similar material and won't scratch the pot? Thanks

[@JohnSanders]

I guess birth the plate and the basket have their advantages...I like the plate design but it takes some getting used to... it is Definitely easier to store and I really like the coating... but the silicon feet may be easier to lose if they are removed for cleaning etc... but the fact I can put the rack and the tray inside the unit for storage makes it my favorite design... hope this helps and thanks for watching!!!

Thanks, good point

I'm curious John, since you have both the deluxe and the pro, why you didn't measure the 2 pots or place them in each other and also see if the large crisper basket would fit in the pro. I have the deluxe and am considering the pro. I have a sous vide supreme as well as circulator and I love the idea of 1 device for space...and I can sear after! TY for your great videos.

[@JohnSanders]

The deluxe and the pro pots are the same diameter so they will not fit inside each other... the crisper basket from the 6.5 will fit and that is really good in my opinion just incase someone has a specific thing they do in it... it did really well with the sous vide...i was impressed...thanks for watching!!@

[@gtglobalgroup3871]

@@JohnSanders Thank you John for responding. I did not phrase my question well. :-) I just wanted to make sure that the pots in each were the same and could work in either machine.

[@janschiebout7955]

John, my sister in CO raves about her Ninja XL, and a friend has an Anova sous vide, but I have been reticent to jump in, because we just moved to a much smaller living space. I have always been a foodie myself, but as our youngest is a senior in college, I want to make time for my own activities while still setting a succulent table. I have just outplaced many kitchen appliances, from crockpots, pressure cookers, blenders, grills, etc., with the thoughts of replacing them with multifunction items. Ninja appeals to me. I am worried about the size of the XLs, however, in both the grill and the Foodi, as being too large, but like the temperature probe function in the grill. The 6.5 quart foodie seems perfect, if it could function as well as an Anova. So, here’s what I’m thinking: what about the 6.5 11-in one foodie, the hot and cold blender, and a foodi grill? I believe I could then get by with one set of cookware and my heirloom cast-iron things. Question: After your experiences, which size grill do you recommend for someone like me? Is the probe important since they no longer offer it on the smaller version? Is the sous vide good enough on the Ninja to do without the Anova? Love your videos. They have that Hill Country feel! Feels like home!

[@JohnSanders]

Very glad to hear you enjoy the videos and I think the set up you mentioned is a good one for your situation... I saw a small grill available at Costco with the thermometer but you could also use the wireless type like I use on my latest video on the Ninja XL Oven... or something similar to that... but...I almost always recommend the larger devices just incase you have company or something... hope this helps and thanks for watching!!!

[@UnpleasantChuck]

Hello, John. This is the first video of yours that I've watched, and I think you've done a good job explaining sous vide and its application in these different devices. However, I think you've done an apples-and-oranges comparison in one aspect. I've read through many of the comments, but haven't seen where someone else pointed this out -- forgive me if I missed it. You seem to be impressed that the Ninja took less time to heat the water than did your Anova circulator. But, by your own explanation, the Ninja was heating 12 cups of water, and the Anova was heating 18 cups! That's hardly an accurate comparison! The other thing that I found puzzling was the initial overshoot of the temperature, which, at one point was as high as 12 degrees high in the Ninja. Sous vide cooking is all about temperature and time! The difference between a steak cooked to 130 degrees and 140+ degrees would have steaks sent back to the kitchen as 'overcooked'. It's true that subsequent checks showed that the Ninja eventually settled down and held the temperature close to 130, but that begs the question: Is having too-high a cooking temperature for part of the cycle a significant problem? That could be a real problem for a food -- like shrimp -- which could overcook in a short time before the temperature stabilized. I recently bought a Ninja Foodi FD302 because of the versatility and because it would give me a second sous vide option when my circulator was already in use. But my first test, which got no further than heating the water way too hot, didn't even see a bag of food hit the water. I set it for 120 degrees, and it heated to 145, as measured with two different digital thermometers. I call SharkNinja to inquire, and they wound up sending me a replacement. It will be interesting to test this new device and see if the temperature stabilizes over time, as it did with yours.

[@JohnSanders]

Thanks for sharing that and let us know what happens...thanks for watching!!!

[@randymueller2349]

I have never tried the Sous Vide method, I prefer my Beef "Blood Rare", how low of a Temperature does the Foodi Pro go?

[@reelreviews982]

So I watched the whole video and I’m still unsure of the purpose sous vide serves. Please explain. Also, does the book have temperature suggestions for the amount of doneness you want your steak? Like I eat mine medium well.

[@JohnSanders]

There are many charts available online but maybe 145°F for medium well in my opinion but yours may be different and it is just a method used to get the internal temp of a lot of different foods to a precise doneness level... hope this helps and thanks for watching!!

Excellent video, John...Well done! That's the thing I like about the dedicated sous vide circulators...they are dead on with their temp and holding it! Nice feature to have I suppose, but I love the dedicated sous vide circulators... I have a Breville Joule Sous Vide and I also have a vacuum sealer which is indispensable and saves so much money...also...the Sous Vide is perfect for defrosting..But, for one device to do what the Ninja does...just amazing...I have a Ninja Foodi and I love it...but I won't buy the one with the Sous Vide, as I have a Sous Vide...but I appreciate your reviews on the latest products...the technology changes so fast...it's amazing....Thanks again!

[@suhas.mohammed7775]

Wow, it seems to be multi-benefit ... I wanna get it (ninja foodi pro), I am living in Turkey, not the bird 🦃 😁 Is it available online?🤔

[@JohnSanders]

I'm not sure which countries they are offering it in but it is a neat device and i hope you can get it...thanks for watching!!!

[@mistyblue3206]

🤣😂🤣

[@Dawonandonli]

The reason the temp was higher earlier is because it accounts for the temperature dropping after you add the food.

[@speedbird737]

Wish Ninja would sort out the Slow Cooker function on the Foodi - terrible compared to a cheap slower cooker. The Foodi is very very slow to cook in comparison even on the High setting.

[@lyricberlin]

I love my ninja foodi. I wish I had gotten it when I first heard of it.

[@Tateman]

That looks great. We might have to invest in one of these one day. We already have a pressure cooker, but it was awhile ago we got that. We did just get the new Ninja Foodi XL Grill.

[@JohnSanders]

I have a Xl ordered... but haven't received it yet...i will say this device is very impressive and I hope the grill is also...thanks for watching!!!

[@theblake5356]

What’s the difference between this model here and the Ninja Foodi Deluxe 8 qt (FD402).....?

[@JohnSanders]

I think the internal design may have some advancements but primarily it is the addition of the sous vide function and this only comes in the 6.5 quart size that i know of at this time... hope this helps and thank you for watching!!!

[@mrmarkus7964]

So what's the difference between the two? The Pro and the Deluxe?

[@JohnSanders]

Pretty much the Sous Vide function...

[@tiffanyap007]

Awesome! I’m thinking of getting this Ninja. Thanks. 👍🏽

[@JohnSanders]

So far so good!!! I think you will be pleased... thanks for watching!!!

[@tiffanyap007]

John Sanders It would be an upgrade from the Ninja air fryer I have. Looking forward to all the other features. Liked the layout of your video. New subscriber 👍🏽

[@JohnSanders]

Thanks... glad you enjoy them and thanks for subscribing!!!!

[@rddav1]

I do believe the Instant Pot Duo Crisp also has a sous vide function also! I have one but I'm too lazy to get up and check!😁

[@rddav1]

Oops...should have checked if that comment was already posted...sorry.

[@chioma7359]

can you confirm if the inner pot & crisping baskets / Plate were interchangeable between the old and new 6.5qt Ninja?

[@JohnSanders]

The crisping basket and plate will fit either device.. hope this helps and thanks for watching!!!

[@chioma7359]

@@JohnSanders Thanks for responding. Off to order one.

[@Fred-eh7lj]

Good review John! What are the temp increments on Foodi? And what is the maximum time you can cook?

[@kiretrajkov5296]

Very helpful 👍 The most relevant information for me personally, was at the end where you compare all 3 cookers. Ninja it's a mess in Europe and now i know why. Still considering to buy the original 6.5 for 165€. There is no Pro model for now!

[@JohnSanders]

I honestly think you will be impressed with that model... it literally changed the way I cook and the amount of cooking I do overnight... glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for watching!!!

[@jorge2861]

Great 👍🏼 fun video!!!!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@JohnSanders]

Thanks... glad you enjoyed it and thanks for watching!!!

[@1cynanne]

Where did you get your soup vide pot?

[@JohnSanders]

That is made by Tuxton... it is a excellent sous vide pot designed for the Anova... it is also induction friendly and i use it for other things too...thanks for watching!!

[@emmajemma3369]

You should be compensated or sent complimentary product at the very least! Thanks so much for your insight... It’s super helpful! ☺️

[@JohnSanders]

You are very welcome Emily... they have actually offered and I have chosen not to be compensated at this time just to be less biased...I may change that thought one day though... but thank you for saying that and thanks for watching!!!

[@WesleyHester]

Does anyone have this cooker that just displays "PRE" instead of progress bars like the owner's manual shows on pages 13 & 14? I contacted Ninja and left the info with them. My cooker operates fine otherwise.

[@JohnSanders]

Mine says "PRE" when coming up to pressure when in pressure cook mode... but... it shows the progress bars when coming up to temp in the "Sous Vide" mode... hope this helps... and thank you for watching!!!

[@WesleyHester]

Thank you. That does help allot to confirm what I'm seeing with the cooker and what's in the manual are in fact different. The is my first Ninja Foodi but not my first pressure cooker (Instant Pots). I cooked beef stew and saw PRE the whole time it was pre-heating and coming to pressure. No big deal, just different. Thank you for all your informative videos and for taking the time to reply. Your video of this cooker is literally the best and only one out right now.

[@JohnSanders]

@@WesleyHester you are very welcome... thanks again for watching my videos!!!

[@michelleaus]

Definitely a thumbs up 👍🏼

Thank you Michelle... and thanks for watching!!!

Also, the whole roasted chicken recipe would be a good test for the two crisper types.

[@JohnSanders]

That would be a good one... thanks for watching!!!

What brand of knives do you use..that one looks very nice......and thanks for making me more broke...LOL

[@JohnSanders]

Those are Shun knives... first set of real knives I've ever owned and has taken awhile to accumulate enough to almost fill my block... but they have contributed to my brokenness also...lol... the one in the video is a Shun Nakiri... about a buck fifty... but it is really nice and a pleasure to use!!! Thanks for watching!!

[@Gregzilla83]

I purchased online for the gf and then came to check out what I actually bought. I had to watch it without sound because she's next to me but I'll be back after Christmas!

Ho Ho Ho...shhhh!!! Thanks for watching and merry Christmas!!!

[@fsauceda3]

John, you need to stop making me so hungry!😀

[@JohnSanders]

It is a occupational Hazzard for me...lol...thanks for watching!!!

[@fsauceda3]

John Sanders what’s your thoughts on the basket vs the “new” disk version and the new trivet?

[@JohnSanders]

I think I'm going to like it better... more room when crisping and several devices I have are the same design and i haven't had any issues...

[@Back2SquareOne]

Thanks for this very informative video. I have to say though, that not using the meat/butter juices makes me wince. They are already half way to making a delicious sauce or gravy! It is a great video anyways.

[@MW-fr7bx]

The Ninja came to temp faster because you had 4 less cups of water in it.

[@cherylsingleton3357]

Thank you 007. I already watched this video. 👍🏻

Avocado oil, my man! Word of warning to folks though… some brands advertise that it’s avocado oil with as low as 10% avocado oil. Make sure you get 100%!

[@rolandgadue4351]

How did you get it John?

[@JohnSanders]

I ordered it from the Ninja kitchen website... thanks for watching!!

[@ldyvic]

Speaking of oils, Sam's club is selling a 34 oz bottle of Avocado Oil for $7.98. Which is a very good price. :)

clarified butter at 470?!!
