Ninja Foodi vs Instant Pot - Which is Better? | Product Reviews | Well Done

[@jacharris4176]

People ..be kind. She cannot please everyone. It takes a lot of work to do these really nice videos. I was very happy and learned a lot ..exactly what I was looking for..thank you so much for all the info.

[@welldone]

You are so kind. Thanks Jac!

[@rich8381]

@@welldone so take the Ninja if you want the air fryer, insta pot if you don't care for air frying?

[@jerryglass6513]

It's not that the remarks are ment to be unkind. It's more of ' this is not really a true comparison'. Maybe a better title would be 'why I like my instant pot and separate air fryer better then ninja foodi. She doesn't say why she prefers the two that did not do as well as the ninja. And it's OK that she does. However when those of us that really have no experience with either and was looking for true comparison....this video was just not it.

[@riderstorm7790]

Exactly.

This was the best video I watched and helped with what I needed to know. I read some of the same but she confirmed it with facts.

The Ninja Foodie as a dehydration function which is what I really enjoy. I made some sweet potato chips for my wife with it and she loved them.

[@gregfreeman8441]

I like the way this woman speaks, direct and too the point yet still charming.

[@lindap.p.1337]

I gave my Instapot away because I feel the Foodie is far superior. My test is on spareribs. You can season then pressure cook your ribs 15-20 min. and then apply sauce. I add another 15 minutes and broil or air fry. I check every 5 minutes and love that they brown. Yum! I have the 6.5 size and do not have a lot of room so its size is problematic for me. But I do love it.

Ninja foodi Xl Deluxe for me, didn't have a pressure cooker or air Fryer. Have had it for a month and it is amazing!

[@dsly4425]

I was kinda WTF initially but I think on context she doesn’t like air frying in general so the instapot is better for her needs in general.

[@jamesdean3599]

For better fries you need to blanche them first, boil/steam them until they’re slightly cooked, then air fry them after.

[@helenalovelock1030]

Another tip is pour boiling water over the chips leave for 5 mins, rinse then dry before frying

[@JamesWhite-tg4kw]

Why not just cook them a little longer just don't burn them

[@donnastormer9652]

@@JamesWhite-tg4kw by soaking in a little bit of salt water for 30 minutes and then completely drying them before you air fry them. It removes a lot of the starch and they crisp better. I suppose blanching does the exact same thing. I hope that answers your question question

[@leventerethelyi8461]

The comment I've been waiting for all along.

[@ClockworkSatan]

I just bought a Ninja Foodi to replace my well-used Instant Pot, as I've got a tiny, tiny kitchen and wanted an air fryer in addition to a pressure cooker - so having this extra functionality rolled into a single device made it a no-brainer, despite the cost. I've not used the Ninja much yet, but the extra time saved by how much more quickly it comes to pressure makes a big difference for me, and its air fryer mode is absolutely awesome - so I think that it roundhouse-kicks the Instant Pot's can all over the place. It's not even close. I've read a few things from people saying that the Ninja Foodi is MUCH BIGGER than the IP, but in truth its footprint is only a little bigger. It is however about twice the weight of the IP and you need some extra space above and to the left of the device to open it up, so if you've got low-hanging kitchen units you might struggle a bit with it. If you've got the room though, I'd say go with the Foodi.

[@donremley7854]

I purchased the Ninja and haven't regretted it. I gave away my instant pot. My counter isn't very large and I don't have any problems using it.

I'm hesitant on the Foodi only because of the stationary fryer lid. Does anyone know if they will make the air/pressure combo without it attached?

[@missb0ss915]

Thank you for this! I just ordered the foodi and i cant wait!

[@SultanKhan66]

5 minutes is still 5 minutes. I don't call that a tie.

[@ClearAdventure]

Yup, every 12 meals and there goes an hour of your life wasted waiting. Over a years time that could equal days/weeks. Craziness.

[@franciscopartida4167]

She said it wasn't significant and that's a fact. Acting like 5 minutes is detrimental to your cooking time or life in general is dramatic to say the very least. Calling something a tie, based on trivial factors, is a perfectly valid conclusion of a reasonable person who has a grasp on reality.

[@Sarshy]

Ninja Foodi was the win for me both in size and that I can have even more options when cooking. It has been a game changer for our family dinners. My husband is so picky about his meats and last nights air fried chicken thighs won him over!

[@tazg349]

My kitchen is small so size is small. There are only two things that I need this appliance for mainly. Rice cooking everyday as an Asian, and pressure cooking sometimes. And the inner container must also be stainless steel. So I think Instant Pot is the winner for me. It has the 3 quarts.

[@alicekelly4975]

That Ninja thing is frick'n huge, big enough to climb inside and launch yourself in space.

[@welldone]

Now that's a video idea!

[@colleenzilligen9319]

you've got that right!!!

[@donnadicicco5132]

I watched a few KZbin videos on the Ninja Foodi vs. the Insta Pot and hands down in my opinion is (Insta pot) is a better fit for me; it's not so huge even if you were to get the Insta pot xl if you have a bigger family to feed, but for my little family I can go either way to wrap up & put inside freezer bags for the next time I want that same dish all I gotta do is take out of freezer to thor out plus I have a toaster oven to heat up & make it crispy if it calls for it or just a quick warm up with the microwave; what makes this a winner is the size, small but big inside; meaning I can cook the same stuff in the insta pot as well as someone else cooking in the huge Foodi without leaving myself any room for anything else & with the Insta pot I have counter space to spear!!!

I wish more review videos were done like this. As someone previously said, short and to the point. Many thanks!

[@StacyandThomas]

You should have waited, since the IP now has its Duo Crisp & Air Fryer all in one model. Maybe its time to do a new comparison. ;)

[@efptechnologysolutions2388]

That’s what I’d like to see. How does the IP Air Fryer lid you can buy separately work. Also, you didn’t tell us how many quarts each unit is. 6, 8, 10 quart?

[@mykarma2]

Got excited when I heard that the IP had a air fryer lid until I realized that not for the 3 qt IP. ugh. Guess I might have to buy the Ninja.

[@efptechnologysolutions2388]

Could you do an update now that the IP has an air fryer left d and accessory for the previous ones? There are so many to choose from. Maybe IP could loan you some to test out and return. I’m leaning toward Ninja because of all the features, especially dehydrator.

[@BOOSTEDLASER]

I NEED TO ONLY STEAM FROZEN BURGERS (COSTCO 1/3 LB) WHAT ONE DO I BUY PLEASE ?

[@dahough115]

You may want to consider getting silicone or wooden tongs... because when you scratch the Ninja pot... those marks don't go away. So until and unless Ninja makes a stainless steel pot... The ceramic pot is easily scratched...

[@angelinacamacho8575]

The pot should be able to be replaced with a standard rice cooker pot.

[@Hankster.Northwest]

Using metal utensils in any cooker is foolish, always use silicone or if you don't like that, then wood. However food grade silicone is safe and non-corrosive and hard-wearing. Ive had my Ninja foodi for nearly two years and found it unbeatable. The Instant-pot and the Ninja foodi are reviewed fairly even but Ive noticed that the reason they are that way, although the Ninja has more uses and is more practical, is that many of the ladies who have reviewed both have used the Instant-pot in the past and simply do not want to make the change. Like another commenter says, if the Ninja is rated even at worst and superior at best, there is your answer however I get that some would rather not change. Btw Ive never scratched the ceramic pots and I have two of them, it makes it so convenient having two when cooking a large or diverse presentation. So finally I would say, if you haven't purchased either of them, go with the Ninja, takes up smaller space in one machine since you'd have to buy a separate air fryer and there's no question an air fryer is an essential kitchen tool these days. Best wishes and I hope whichever choice you make that you benefit and are successful in your kitchen. Ahp

[@JENDALL714]

I almost bought a Ninja cooker, but I backed out because it didn't have a way to see the food when it's cooking. I ended up getting one of those air cookers with a glass bowl, so I could view the food when it is cooking.

[@skytombs253]

Great video and new subscriber. I love my ninja foodi, as for eg when cooking a chicken, you can pressure cook & then air fry in the same machine. With the instant pot you'd have to preheat the oven, take the chicken out of the IP then transfer into the oven.

[@donnadicicco5132]

To make a comparison between two different types of cooking machines is equal amounts in both machines to get a more accurate answer. Just in my opinion not to mention it also depends if you have the room in your cooking area. Like I live in a small 2 bedroom apartment but there isn't much room for really anything but I make room to do what I have to then after cleaning up back it goes in it's own place just like my huge pressure cooker elite; it is a bit of inconvenience but ya gotta do what ya gotta do!!! lol peace & God BLESS 😇🙏✌🤗

I have an instant pot. My dummy self bought an air fryer before considering the Ninja Foodi because I thought "well, I don't need TWO cookers since I already have a pot!" Now I feel like the Foodi would've been a good addition because I'd have liked to simultaneously cook dishes in one thing, and rice in the other. I know what I won't do now though, and that is buying a second instant pot! I'll get a Ninja Foodi the next time it goes on a super sale.
