Oh the possibilities! Part 2: review of the Ninja Foodi Possible Cooker Pro

 Part 2 of the Ninja Food Possible series is the multi cooker Pro! This like the others is multi-functional so it is not just a slow cooker. It is an 8-in-1 cooker and makes the possibilities endless! It also offers cooker to oven to table function. 

This machine cooks up to 30% faster using the triple fusion heat technology. Traditional slow cookers only cook from the sides. This multi cooker cooks from the bottom, sides, and uses steam heat. This is what allows the additional cooking options. The one I am most excited about is the ability to sear meat directly in the cooker before adding other ingredients. This allows you to use only one pot so you save time and have less clean up. 

This cooker replaces 14 cooking tools and appliances. You can slow cook, steam, saute, braise, and roast among other things. 

This cooker not only has the base for cooking, but you can remove the main pot for cooking in the oven up to 500 degrees. This allows for meals to be finished in the oven if you are looking for that crispy finish. 

This cooker is great for entertaining with a larger 8.5 qt capacity. This allows you to make enough chili for 20, 9lbs of spaghetti and meatballs, or enough pulled pork for 30 sliders!

There are 8 different cooking functions including slow cook, sear/sauté, steam, keep warm, sous vide, braise, bake, and proof. 

The cleanup is a breeze! The nonstick enables you to wipe away messes and is so quick to clean! The lid of the pot and utensil included are dishwasher safe. The pot is recommended to be hand washed for longevity. 

The cooker is not only easy to use, clean, and multi-functional, it is also safe. It is free of PFOA, cadmium, and lead. It also is lightweight, weighing only 12.6 lbs and includes a 30 in cord.

The only con I have is that this cooker does not have a secured lid like you can get on some slow cookers for easy transportation. But if you do not use this cooker to take places it is a great option for your kitchen. Especially if like me you have limited kitchen space. Since you can do so much with this cooker, you need fewer items. 

This cooker does have a higher price point like the others in this series. However, the ease of cleaning alone is worth it in my opinion. My old slow cooker I would always use slow cooker bags to help with clean up because it was such a pain to clean. I no longer have to use those and it cleans up so fast! The price of this runs from $120-150 depending on where you get it. It also is available in multiple colors (I have the sea salt gray). 

The cooker also comes with a recipe booklet for some suggestions and tips on how to use the cooker. It includes a Sunday Pot Roast that I made and it was very good! You can also get other ideas from the Ninja Foodi Family Community on facebook.
