MC1001 Foodi PossibleCooker PRO 8.5 Quart Multi-Cooker, with 8-in-1 Slow Cooker, Dutch Oven, Steamer, Glass Lid Integrated Spoon, Nonstick, Oven Safe Pot to 500°F, Sea Salt Gray

Purchased this a couple of months ago and absolutely love it. The Ninja Foodi has quickly become one of my most-used kitchen appliances. It heats evenly, is easy to use, and the multiple cooking functions make it incredibly versatile. I’ve used it for slow cooking, sautéing, and one-pot meals, and everything turns out great. Cleanup is easy and it feels very well made. If you’re on the fence, I highly recommend it.

Absolutely love it. Works great. So convenient to saute and then set to cook in the same dish. Great quality (ninja, so as expected). Heats up quickly for all functions.

I have used it a few times. I love it. I love how the pot comes out of the slow cooker. The handles are not hot when I pull it out and serve dinner. I love all of the settings. As the slow cooker finishes it switches from low to warm. I love the size and it wasn't too expensive. I feel like I should replace all of my old slow cookers with this amazing slow cooker.

Versatile and you can make a lot of different things, even sear and roast a chicken (there’s a separate rack to place at bottom for that)- easy clean up also!

I’m a single senior who hardly ever cooked as I had no patience to deal with standing over a hot stove or washing multiple pots and pans. When I saw this Foodi a year ago, I thought, what? , all I have to do is put the food in the pot and push a button?, sounds good to me, count I’m in. Well, since then, I’m turning into a chef cooking up a storm, everything from chilli to soups. I absolutely love this cooker. Now, I”m cooking healthy meals all the time. I would have loved if there was a baking function on it like the larger Foodi unit has but I opted for this unit because of its smaller size. I had one issue, the handle on the lid got extremely hot. I quickly rectify it by purchasing the Goldlion silicone handles for $12 on Amazon which perfectly fit over the Ninja Foodi handles. The lid now stays cool to touch. So if you decide to purchase the Ninja foodi, I would suggest investing in the silicone handles as well, Bottom line, the Ninja Foodi works perfectly. It’s easy to use, saves time and simplifies cooking. I highly recommend!

If you have not purchased one of these you are missing out!! I was hesitant to buy one because of the price, but I got a bonus at work and I bit the bullet and got it, and it does not disappoint. The unit is much, much lighter than the traditional crockpot. Clean up is amazing because nothing sticks so that eliminates the crockpot bags. Yes, you have to wash it, but I found with the bags, they leave a film on the crocks. I have used to slowcook, sear meat, baking, saute vegetables and still going! I actually gave away my crockpots because that is how good this is! I also like the feature that when the slow cooker timer goes off, it kicks over to warm and the timer starts to let you know how long its been on warm. I do recommend using silicone utensils and make sure to use potholder on lid. I am actually getting ready to order another!!!! Don't wait, get one!

UPDATE - After using this crockpot for several months, I need to update this review to be honest. I'm taking a star off. Beware, the high setting puts the unit into a constant high boil, which I would not consider appropriate to a slow cooker, as I would never leave the house with this unit on high. Everything else I wrote in the original review remains true, and I use this a lot. But I had to end up buying a second crock pot for when I want to slow cook on a high setting. Since I wanted one unit that could do everything, that disappointed me. ORIGINAL REVIEW This cooker has exceeded my expectations. I just built a tiny house. It has a full kitchen, except code does not permit a stove. I spent a lot of time reading reviews of cooking appliances. A bit over 10 years ago I bought a searing Ninja slow cooker. It was okay, but took so long to saute/sear that I usually used a separate frying pan. Not so with this newer technology. It sears quickly and evenly. A great benefit when you don't have a stove top. And much better than using a plug-in burner and pan, due to its speed of getting to temperature and the eveness of cooking. I have used it for frying, slow cooking and braising. High on slow cooking gives you a nice rolling simmer. Low on slow cooking is truly low. I appreciate both. I have made rice in it following the instructions provided. And I use it to make pasta. All work perfectly. My only regret is I purchsed an electric skillet, which I totally don't need. This Ninja does it all. I suggest taking the time to read the instruction booklet. I would not have known to get it to temperature before adding food. It has a great little alarm that goes off to let you know when it is time to add the food. This was a great purchase!

This is a serious upgrade to the slow cooker from 20 years ago it replaced! It has several cooking modes, is easy to learn to use, and is a perfect size for a small family. Get the larger one if you like to cook larger quantities. I like this appliance a lot.
