Review: Getting Started With Your Ninja Foodi Vs. Instant Pot

[@jmniagara]

Bought one at Sam's club and followed the whole chicken recipe in the ninja guide and WOW!!...A whole roasted to perfection chicken in 30 minutes. 15 min on pressure then another 15 min on air fry Amazing!!! Best chicken I've ever tasted.

[@darceyderosa2426]

Thank you! That's why I wanted it!😍

[@gwcks]

Nice made me want to buy one

[@mikeaaronc77]

i did this exact same thing.. it rules!

[@davidadausuel4537]

I must say, that I am a person that does extensive research on anything that I invest in. Therefore, when I tell you that you are the BEST REVIEWER that I have ever seen, that is clearly a lot coming from me. You did something that most people neglect to do. You showed ( up close step by step ) explaining how EVERY feature worked on this appliance. I greatly appreciated this, because it is slightly difficult for me to see some of the features. I am definitely going to purchase this one because of you. I am also going to subscribe to your videos, ( something ) that I rarely do without further viewing first. I will now be able to operate my ninja as soon as I get it. Thank you for sharing your wonderful video with social media as well as with me. Please continue to post more videos sharing your wonderful recipes indeed.

[@barbarabuck5439]

I have owned the Foodi for several months but have thus far been too intimidated to use it. Your video has made me super excited about taking the leap and actually using it! Thank you !!!

[@bbkintanar]

SAME HERE! I used it for the first time last night after owning it for 2 months haha but after that initial meal, i'm so excited to use it again!

[@lucilleball5970]

OUTSTANDING REVIEW!!!!! You really did the Ninja Foodie above and beyond with your review. Fabulous the way you cooked several different things for demonstrating a lot of its many uses. This machine looks wonderful. I have the Instant Pot and I have two air fryers, so for now will have to pass. My only dislikes would be the air fryer lid is not removable and easily scratching of the lid. Who knows, if they improve, it could be my new appliance in the future and making more room. Thanks so much Jeffery, you are wonderful. Claudia

[@PressureLuck]

THIS MADE MY DAY! Thank you, Lucille and please kiss Ricky for me!

[@martygarcia839]

[@P_double_H]

After watching this video, my rice maker, portable oven and the pressure cooker stopped working at the same time! Time to go and buy this now...

[@truegatorguyodonnell5092]

Lol! Coincidence? Maybe...!

[@Bossylady2752]

😂 right! But funny thing my old faithful crockpot seems like it is starting to have problems as well!

[@STV-H4H]

I've been hoping my ricer cooker and perhaps the slow cooker might suddenly become eligible for landfill status since discovering this fab new widget! I'll be evaluating the Ninja products in the coming weeks to see if my IP will be working with a new sidekick one day soon

[@MimiNwabuokuMD]

Riiiighttt🤣🤣🤣 Well, hope you’re enjoying your Ninja Foodi! 🥷

[@sandrajohnson2489]

You crack me up!! I love your videos. I just received my Ninja Foodi today and was sad that it didn't have the silicone pot holders and the 'back scratchers' Lol. The very first thing I made were hard boiled eggs. I made deviled eggs to go with my dinner. I am 64 years old and have never been able to peel a hard boiled egg without damaging it. The eggs cooked in the Foodi came out perfectly. I peeled them with no effort at all. I'm amazed. Tomorrow morning I will be cooking bacon, eggs and biscuits in the Foodi.

[@jencros1]

I love this video. I knew nothing about the Ninja Foodi before I watched it, and I now understand EVERYTHING I wanted to find out. Engaging guy, too.

[@vitazgal9933]

Absolutely INCREDIBLE review....I couldn't wait 'til the end because I was so deeply immersed in your enthusiasm & perfection in all you presented us with... i saw other videos on this....wasn't going to get it...thought about possibly getting it last night & here it is... everything I could ever want...all in one video(& I have 3 Ipots along with others lol) This is a MUST !... Thank you so much Jeff... YOU ROCK!

[@synthking3892]

Wasn't that a very informative and funny presentation!!!???

[@marybasham7538]

I just got one for Christmas. I have always loved your videos and knew you’d be the review to watch to get the truth about the product and how to use it. I cannot wait to cook with it!!!

[@mzmarquette]

Finally seeing more ppl review this Ninja Foodi.. I ordered one today and cannot wait until delivery!!! Thank you for the video :)

[@tymiller2596]

I'm sold !! .. I stumbled across this video last night. And I ordered my Ninja Foodi today. Should have it tomorrow .. Thank you my friend.

[@dragonrising4620]

Damn it, now I'm going to need to sneak this baby into the kitchen without my wife noticing. Maybe I can tell her our current Instant Pot was taking martial arts on the side and finally turned into a Ninja!

[@dragonrising4620]

Sigh, preordered one...

[@dragonrising4620]

Oh, Jeff, if you get a chance, I'd love to see you do turkey (even if it's just a turkey breast) in this puppy later. I'd love to see how it finishes crisping the skin.

[@roseanderson8527]

🤣🤣🤣

[@martish53]

Kevin McCann Didn’t work for me. My husband figured out it was a new thing. Even though I hid the Instant Pot while he was away & in boxed the Ninja.

[@AM-yd8xi]

ha ha ha, so funny I forgot to laugh

[@dannyray8188]

PLEASE, PLEASE make some more videos with recipes on the Ninja Foods! You talked me into it over the Insta Pot and I LOVE it! PLEASE !!!

[@christineosterland7035]

Thanks for the information on the Foodi!! You are, as usual, great fun to watch and can’t wait for you next video!!! 😀

[@marybethhassani9958]

Thank you for being a Ninja lifesaver! You are so much fun to watch. I just got my first Foodi for my birthday Feb. 14th I wanted to start easy first so right now I am trying yogurt per your instruction video. I hope it comes out delicious!

[@elaynewhite4620]

I love your personality! You are the best! ✌🏽I love your demos as well.

[@synthking3892]

Ninja or sombody needs 2 hire you!!! I enjoyed every single minute of you! You are incredible at presentation to me!!! I already had bought the ninja multi cooker online and i spotted this Foodi at the local store. Went to hunt for info about this item and your video interested me!!! I Loved your way you explainned everything and your humor!!! You sealed the deal for me and made me run out to return the multi cooker and buy this!!!! This thing can do just about EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just bought it last night 10-17-18...still in box but I am so excited to use this item!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH Pressure Luck JEFF!!!

[@TiborBosnyak]

I am in love with my instant pot. I will brown in the oven but I will always love. Watching your programs.

[@susieserres7221]

Thank you! I haven't had an instapot and really no patience to work through a book. Your video gave me just what I needed to make a delish casserole with crisp cheese on top.

[@Lady-Seawulf]

Thank you for a fantastic review! Just received my Ninja Foodi from Amazon, and found you. Loved the demo's and look forward to watching more videos!!!

[@marythatsitjustmary6873]

I'm new to this, got a great black Friday sale. I admit I was a little intimidated, but thank you for such a straightforward video. I can't wait to get started.

[@lindapearl4184]

OK. Just go it and happy to find this video because I use my IP for so many things. My Foodie is still in the box... I'm working up to it! Hope you share air fry recipes too! You are my hero!!!!

[@xx-nr6lu]

Very informative and helpful, even more than the infomercial. I got it back @ December and I was kind of intimidated by it, until I found your video. I'm about to make a corned beef stew, I can't wait. Thanks, KUDOS!

[@jonathanprinty]

I Love your videos and recipes. I bought my Foodi about two weeks ago and it's been great. I'm so glad you got one, so you can show us some great recipes in it.

[@leef6041]

This video was perfect- thank you! You gave three excellent samples and you provided which air fryer function to use for each example- so few instant pot cookbooks do that! I have an instant pot duo and I purchased an air fryer lid recently. I have not used the air fryer lid much because I have been so intimidated to do so. Your video here is wonderful! Thank you! I purchased your recipe book and tried many recipes, all are excellent! I hope there will be more to come! :)

[@nanja1121]

Just got my Foodi today and your video sure did help me. I can't wait to start cooking.

[@slyviewer99]

Wow, sounds nice. The only thing I see that I don't care for is that it's not stainless steel. The whole reason I picked the instant pot over the other brands of pressure cooker was that everything that touched the food was stainless steel. No non-stick coating or aluminum. Let us know if you find one of those, please.

[@Nozoki]

It looks like it's a ceramic coating. So no aluminum or teflon touches the food.

[@slyviewer99]

Thanks Chatty.

[@g.johnson8690]

Ceramic coating will eventually show signs of wear as Teflon does, depending on the quality of the ceramic product. The main difference is that the ceramic is *supposedly* not toxic as is Teflon. Time will tell.

[@ArchieLovesMe]

Gary Johnson I bought the nonstick ceramic coated pot insert for my Instant Pot about 2 years ago and it’s holding up terrific. Highly recommend it. I haven’t used my stainless pot since. No more sticking.

[@g.johnson8690]

Wonderful, but I had a ceramic coated pan in my breadmaker and it eventually peeled and I was always careful with it.. Like I said, longevity depends on the quality of the coating. The fact that your interior has lasted two years means nothing. Talk to me in five years.

[@laurafenton6646]

After several videos and coming close to boxing it up and returning, you MAY have saved me the trouble. This was a gift, and I still need convincing. It is huge, and seems like a lot of work to save time on most dishes. I hope to learn how to cook large pieces of meat, since wheat fairly clean. I am a bit overwhelmed at the idea of straying from years of tried and true dishes.

[@sheleenc]

Purchased this today (11/14/19) I have never used either a pressure cooker or air fryer but I had been looking at air fryers when I seen this and thought it looked like a good deal. thank you for the review and the recipes.

[@Nonnie1227]

I just ordered one and am here to learn how to use it. Your video is very helpful. Thank you for filming this demonstration!

[@danielleroser-young2348]

WHY DID I JUST WATCH THIS??? Now I want one. I have wanted both an air fryer and instapot and have refrained from purchase because they take up so much room and only do one thing. This is perfect!

[@t1mb0t]

Man, I wasn't even hungry at all before watching this and now my mouth is watering...good review, Jeff!

[@kurtdedmon3196]

Always great to see a new video Jeff!

[@deborahandrew4129]

I'm so excited! Just ordered my NinjaFoodi! It was on sale plus I was able to use a coupon. Only cost $170.00--Tax and all, plus free shipping! I love your videos!

[@HelloGorgeousLife]

Jeff. You make me laugh. I love your practicality and joy in it. Thanks man

[@meredithgrimm6635]

I’m glad I found your video! My boyfriend got me the Ninja Foodi for Valentine’s Day and this has really helped me! I’ve never used an air fryer or pressure cooker before. Making zucchini fries tonight!

[@EM-rw8mt]

I soooo appreciate your video. It was informative and entertaining without all the extra talking. Love it. Thank you.

[@28snr]

I LOVE MY FOODI!!!!! I don't have to heat up a whole oven (or house) to cook up chicken cordon bleu, jalapeno poppers, bake and so much more. I recommend it to everyone!

[@Looky.lookyhere]

Got mine this week and I love it. I still love my IP too! I probably won’t need my oven any more. I’ll clean it and it will stay clean!

[@suemarie6032]

As always, love your videos. The part I like the most is how much you enjoy the end product! :) Thanks for sharing!

[@kathyfaul9074]

Amazing explanation! I purchased a Foodi about a week ago, but it looked intimidating. Thanks your informative video, I am finally ready to go! Ninja should refer all new Foodi owners to this video. Thanks so much.

[@blonde789]

Kathy Faul I had one and got rid of it...this is a waste

[@kevinhenry177]

Hey Jeff thanks for introducing me to the ninja foodi , I just got mine tonight and I was the very first one to get it at Sam’s Club. Came home and cooked some infused chicken thighs with Garlic,rosemary and thyme. And some fingerling potatoes with also rosemary thyme and garlic in the pressure cooker for three minutes then the air fryer for additional 13 minutes and they were crisp and so amazing. I certainly give the ninja foodi five stars. I have a feeling this is going to be very popular!

[@synthking3892]

I could not believe it when it said pressure cooker and airfryer plys steamer roaster saute broiler and dehydrater!!!! I never owned a pressure cooker or air fryer so I can't wait to use it to fry fish!!!!

[@jimfernandez9458]

An infusion is a liquid but looking past this you can't just dump water and dried spices in a pot, instant, foodie or otherwise and infuse anything, you'll FLAVOR it (poorly) which is starkly different. Take your dried herbs, or better still some fresh ones, chop them and place in a saucepan with a couple of cups of water and gently steep them (just like tea) for an hour or so, strain the solids and use the resulting liquid in your cooker. Don't try making the infusion under pressure as the process will extract all the bitter with the good and taste will suffer. Understanding hydrolysis (how a pressure cooker works), osmosis (how flavors are transferred to a foods interior) and a few Julia Child reruns would help you bunches.

[@verdock]

Omg OLDHEADS

[@Darreninnyc]

Great review, I will wait to see more of your videos before I jump in. I’m still in love with my Ultra.

[@lawrente]

I'm glad to know about the Foodi. I hope you'll keep thinking about those of us without the Foodi. I just can't do another kitchen gadget. My poor cabinets can't handle it. Neither can my budget.

[@PressureLuck]

Troy Lawrence will definitely still be making IP recipes.

[@ellenhofer3343]

Troy Lawrence me either. I'll continue to usr oven ir sir fryer to crisp Air fryer cooks fast anyway

[@xx-nr6lu]

You can get one on HSN with easy pays. I got mine at Sam's and 2 weeks after I saw it cheaper, also with 6 or 5 easy pays. That way is easy to afford it. If you see it in your mind, you can have it in your hands....

[@marynewbury5436]

Great video! My son got me the Emeril Lagasse Pressure Air Fryer Plus for Christmas. It combines the air fryer and pressure cooker as well. It has 3 lids, one for pressure cooking, one for air frying and a glass one for slow cooking, sauteing, boiling, steaming, sous vide and yogurt making. It literally does e everything!! I am so happy with this appliance and use it almost daily. I would love to see you review the Emeril Lagasse Pressure Air Fryer Plus.

[@furysmith6564]

You are wonderful; thanks for this video...I just won a foodi!!! I now have an IP and air fryer but looking forward to combining them and you have just shown me how to use it and I feel so much at ease now...keep on making vids!

[@dannyray8188]

Thank you for talking me into the Ninja Foodi. After watching all your Insta Pot shows, I am so glad I waited until I saw your show on the Ninja Foodi. I watched the Insta Pot vs the Ninja and just loved the simplicity of the program functions of the Ninja vs Insta Pot. The fact that the air fryer stays on is another reason! I hated the taking one lid off and sitting it who knows where and installing the other one. This is March of 2020 and I just bought my Ninja Foodi and am so glad I waited. Keep your Insta Pot.

[@doreanjean6862]

Does the basket cause your pot to chip? I see some bad reviews stating so on the Ninja site.

[@dannyray8188]

@@doreanjean6862 So far I haven't had any problem with my pot chipping but I am sure if someone uses metal utensils that it could happen. Personally, I don't use any metal utensils even in stainless steel pots or pans. Wood or plastic is all I use for everything. Even stainless steel cookware suffers from metal utensils for cooking as they will scratch and become contaminated with various foods or meats.

[@queenofweaves916]

Thank you I have the 8qt it’s been in the box for almost a month. I was just overwhelmed this video helped me a lot. My husband and I will use it for dinner tonight 😉

[@CarieSaad]

There's a bunch of other videos to watch as well. He isn't the only one doing this.

[@pamornes3592]

I got mine today and OMG I absolutely love love love it, I made St. Louis ribs for dinner tonight and they came out wonderful.

[@britneystone7471]

This is the best review video I have ever watched. Thank you!!

[@Thespicyapron]

Wow! Pretty amazing appliance. You did a great job with the review!

[@MMA1992]

Thank you very much for this comprehensive review! In my opinion Ninja makes amazing products. It looks like they out did themselves with the Ninja Foodi.

[@margaretgrady9836]

Excellent...I've been hearing a lot about the Insta pot was going to get it. Then saw the Ninja Foodi . I love the fact that it has a crisper included. Will be going for the Ninja. Great demo!!!!!

[@barbarahirzel2883]

Today is the first time watching one of your videos. I LOVED IT!! I will watch more. Great information and I love your personality. Great job!!

[@luzosorio5312]

Barbara Hirzel depend how you like

[@colleenh2939]

my 8qt Casori pressure cooker that I loved!!!! got burnt by our rotisserie, needless to say I was devastated to see the damage & wanted to reorder one from Amazon, but then I remembered seeing a tv ad for the airfryer pressure cooker. I got the 8qt with the dehydration setting. That's 3 appliances in one for me. I can't wait to use it,

[@colleenh2939]

if I count the rotisserie that's 4. btw the Casori lid is also always attached. Takes getting used to, but It was awesome.

[@katinareynolds1080]

Hi Jeff! I bought a Ninja Foodi for Thanksgiving & I too absolutely LOVE it!!! Food tastes DELICIOUS & saves me so much time!! No more eating out for me! LOL. I eat fresh, hot, home cooked meals (breakfast, lunch & dinner) EVERYDAY!

[@OlgyGary]

Thank you for this EXCELLENT review. And thank you for listing the drawbacks at the end. They're the very ones I was jotting down as I watched your presentation. To me the yogurt making ability of the IP is an absolute must. Glad you mentioned that at the end. Wow... all I do is pour Fairlife milk in my IP inner pot, put a tbsp starter, hit the yogurt setting and go to bed, waking up the next day to delish yogurt. I also agree w/you about the crisping lid not coming off. I wonder how easy it would be to clean if it's always attached, and I don't like it that it scratches so easy. Anyways... thank you for your most informative review. I'm sharing it with friends who have yet to buy an IP because, as you mentioned, if they do not already have an IP, this unit is worth considering. It's a brilliant idea. The commercials sure are throwing some shade on the IP with the kid using it as a drum to play with at the end of the commercial. Funny and it does get the point across that this Ninja Foodie is going to give IPs a run for their money. :D

[@MoniFTW]

By far the most killer video i have seen on the Ninja Foodi!! I am totally totally getting one thanks to you..

[@flexingingodspeace7774]

Monica Rodriguez Walmart has them.

[@Annfam5]

Totally ordered this. Can get rid if all my separate appliances. I stopped using the ip since my 3 Rd one bit the dust, been using Gowise USA since. Love it so much more and easier to clean too. But I am so looking forward to this Ninja. May need to retire the Gowise. Thanks so much for this. I have a ninja blender and love, love,love this.

[@BEACHBALL56]

I just bought this yesterday and thought of you. I could not wait to tell you about it. Then...boom...you’re on it. So happy you have this. Now you will be making videos with your amazing recipes. I love your videos. Laura ... I am Ryan’s mom. :)

[@avasharp8254]

I love your video. I like the step-by-step instructions. I look forward to watching more of your videos.

[@rh4584]

Well explained without missing any details. Thank you

[@lucasray6087]

Just ordered one of these day. Ordered a 6.5 with dehydrator function and the dehydrator rack....or whatever it's called. Honestly what I am most excited to do is chicken wings. The ones you make at about 15min. in this video make me regret not getting a special wing thing a lot less. I'm excited.

[@kathyfann]

I just love my Ninja Foodi and anything new that comes along is just too late. I really enjoy all the Food that comes from the Foodie and the Clean up is so so so easy. 😊

[@SonShine007]

LOVE LOVE LOVE your channel name because I love the Press Your Luck show!!! Thanks for sharing this getting started video because I just got my Ninja Foodi & I'm a visual learner! :) I love gadgets & have other pressure cookers, but never bought an IP. I still might, one day lol The 8qt Ninja has the yogurt function!! :)

[@VegasRockstar]

The Official Ninja Foodi group on fb is the best group, too! So many Foodis sharing tricks, tips, and recipes. Coolest group of people!

[@yunembly]

I love all the information you provided. I feel confident now! Thank you!

[@glenfrechette5510]

I just got one in can't wait to use it . your video was fantastic thanks for all that info

[@susankeyes5566]

really good video!! Probably won't get another big appliance and I really never used my air fryer (gave it away) but I love looking at your ideas of cooking new recipes!

[@DougStrouth]

Got one today, Thanks for your quality review with actual food creation. Dope video and detailed and thorough honest review

[@GLesbihonest]

Great review! I just bought one and am looking for getting started videos and then I ran across yours. 😊

[@JenniferLong2]

How would you be able to clean the air fryer lid if it doesn’t come off?

[@baratrion]

That's the biggest flaw of all. Look at other videos.

[@Forseenlife]

Yeah, just bought one for the boat and I can see this is going to be a problem. Tug boaters aren't known for cleanliness lol.

[@mariecraig239]

Loved your review, I also have both. Thrilled to be the proud owner of both! I absolutely love my 8 quart Ultra Instant Pot, but also love the ability to air fry. I wish the Ninja also looked more sleek and not so cheap, I am not a fan of the plastic. That being said its convenience has earned its place in our Motorhome.

[@DavidMartinez-rn7oq]

Love this video. You definitely went above and beyond to review this item. Great job

[@user-wl7lx7hd1f]

Love you 😂😂😂 speak so fast but understandable for a foreigner. Thank you for your videos!

[@kima.6611]

I never got onto the Instant Pot bandwagon. This Mother's Day though, my son bought me the Ninja. I'm finally home from work and vacation and can't wait to use it. I've been watching your videos and am inspired. I love your personality and accent when you say 'sauce'! Thank you from Cali!

[@jenniferc6393]

We just unboxed ours today. So excited to use it.

[@cubbylarry5900]

Fantastic review! I love the different demonstrations you made, and your explanation was really clear. I will be heading to the store by morning to buy this cool appliance!

[@carlamhaight]

Incredible, I just got an instant pot ultra. I would have definitely considered this !

[@peachqtpi]

Carla Haight Hey, there‘s always both. 😂

[@nyokamullins4000]

Instapot has a air fryer lid for 2020. And its detachable, so that may be an option, compared to the big ninja, but the ninja does have some nice features. Tks for the presentation, love all your videos.

[@lisachapman6492]

I just found out about this cooker and I HAVE TO HAVE ONE NOW! Thank you for the review. I've been intrested in a pressure cooker for a while but this seems to be a game changer.

[@harowil3]

Dude! Your review enabled me to finally order what I “didn’t” know was what I wanted. Thank you! However: the only thing that you didn’t wish was included, was robot arms taking stuff out of it, and serving it to you. Man! Take this from a 75 year old ... thank God it is available and go on with your life!

[@mikejohn0088]

Great job pal---REALLY appreciate your presentation!

[@ilostmyshoetoo]

Been trying to decide between instapot or the foodi...going with the foodi!! Thanks, Jeff!

So glad I watched this video! 😄 entertaining AND helpful!! Can’t wait to use this.
