Ninja Foodi Deluxe Pressure Cooker
I am SO excited! I have been helping my parents move into their new home after moving back from Florida. For helping them they gave me this Ninja Foodi Deluxe Pressure Cooker. Keep in mind this isn’t just a pressure cooker, it does so much more. Keep reading to see what all it can do.
They make a 6 quart and an 8 quart. I was lucky enough to get the 8 quart!
I already have an old pressure cooker with the weights but I never use it except to can green beans, the thing scares the death out of me. I have multiple slow cookers but my favorite is the Ninja 3 in 1 and I do use them all. We have an air fryer, instant pot and a huge dehydrator. Will I get rid of any of my existing gadgets, probably not because what happens if this one breaks! Do you think I have a gadget addiction?
Do you own a Ninja Foodi and if you do I would love to try your favorite recipe. If you post it in my comments and I use your recipe I will gladly share your website giving you credit. I have never used this gadget before and can’t wait to get started. Any advice will be greatly appreciated!

Looks a magnificent piece of kit and I love the name!
I have the Ninja 3 in 1 slow cooker and love it so this should be just as good. Thanks Sheree!💕
nice and quite versatile cooker 🙂
it has so many different functions.
happy cooking.
Hmmmm. Ask them if they need any more help! 😄
Hahahahaha good one!
Pressure Cookers are creepy, I won’t use one! Florida can be dangerous, I lost a car and home there in the 90s…
Yes I am SO glad they are home after 20 years, especially right now!
had I been using it, I would have definitely told you some recipes.
I hope some of your readers might be well-acquainted with it.
If not, then you can certainly look on the net or YouTube regarding how to use it properly.
best wishes.
I have an OK pressure cooker I don’t use often enough…the way Helen and I eat, nowadays. The small quantity of meat we eat on a daily basis is grilled over charcoal in one cook off after we get home from grocery shopping Sunday mornings. I have a snazzy old grill on the portal of our workshop big enough to roast a whole lamb. We use only the center third which actually for good temperature control.
After I finish grilling (usually) chicken and some of whatever interesting new sausage we found at Trader Joe’s…the falling fire belongs to Helen and she slow bakes sweet potatoes, various tubers. Carries us through the week…the animal protein parceled out into lunches (our main daily meal) of grains and mostly veggies. I tweak mine with various ethnic sauces – or none, just enjoying our Neanderthal palate.
That is awesome and what a great way to get fabulous flavor. How nice to cook once a reap the benefits for days! Love your comments.
“works” for good temperature control!
I have a lot to learn for sure.
Keep us posted!!
I will Beth!
Eager to hear more…I am not a gadget person, however, had a Ninja slow cooker 3/1 I loved until I wore out the bottom. It was too large for us on most occassions and how nice a smaller unit might be.
I have the Ninja 3 in 1 too Laurel. By far my favorite gadget so far. This unit is not small. It is pretty large and very heavy. I will need a spot to put it that is convenient because I don’t want to have to move it much. I have a lot to learn before I turn it on…lol
Enjoy your new gift! I thought about getting a pressure cooker but was also afraid of the older types.I wish your parents all the best in their new home! ♥️
Thank you!
You’re welcome! I didn’t think the comment went through. I’m glad you received it.♥️
That’s OK all comments are welcome….lol
I’m glad you’re so charitable! I saw how happy you are with the new cooker. I’m the same way with my looms and the Pioneer Woman products!♥️
It’s the simple things in life that make us happy!
Most definitely!
That looks pretty intense. Enjoy!
Thanks I will as soon as I figure it out. Hahaha
Enjoy your new cooker! I was also afraid of traditional pressure cookers. I wish your parents the best in their new home!
Awww thank you! You are so kind. 💕
You’re welcome! ♥️
It is my dream to have such a pot.
I sent my regards
I hope some day you can get one Ultra! Thank you. ❤️
Enjoy your cooker! I’ve been afraid to use the old fashioned type, but this one seems.much safer.
Thanks so much!
You’re welcome!
Enjoy your cooker! I was also afraid to use the older pressure cookers.
Thank you I definitely will enjoy it, love my gadgets…lol This one looks much safer than the old ones…lol
Definitely! I remember the old fashioned type growing up and was always afraid to use one. Sorry for the confusion with the comments. It appears they don’t post, but then I get a thank you. ♥️
Hahahaha that’s OK.
♥️
Nice one. I wouldn’t mind one myself but with an empty nest and hubby still inter-stating, it’s just little old me. Besides, our little kitchen is already full. 🙂
Enjoy.
It is a pretty big unit and it is very heavy. I still have to figure out where to put mine. It actually would be perfect for you to cook in though. You wouldn’t need the oven since this pretty much does it all even small portions. Thanks!
I don’t use my oven. It’s still brand new. I use it for storage. We tend to grill or air fryer these days. I use my stove top steamer for veggies but when there’s only me, I use my mini pot microwave steamer.
Wow I want to run over and cook in your oven just once. I could never use mine for storage or I would forget something was in there and burn it up. Hahahaha I can’t argue with grilling and the air fryer, both fabulous ways to cook. Besides, it’s not what you use to cook with it’s how it tastes and I bet your food tastes great! Thank you
I’ve been tempted to use it especially the grill at the top of the oven. We also use bottle gas in the town and a neighbour opposites uses her oven and oven grill most days. She has to have a replacement/refill bottle every 2 weeks. We’re been here since Dec 5th 2019 and we haven’t used up the first bottle yet. At around $150AU for a replacement, I think the savings has made it easy not to use the oven. 🙂
OMG that is a crazy price! Why not get an electric range?
Nah…electricity is just as bad. Perhaps when our solar system is installed, I might think about it.
Oh wow nice!!! I get excited over appliances also lol ✌️ … sometimes they should hire us to promote product lol
I do not have one of those sorry or I would definitely share a recipe..
You will have to share your experience using it!! I bet be amazing! Love kitchen gadgets!!
I definitely will share once I figure it out. It is a bit intimidating right now. I can’t wait to start cooking in it though. Thanks Omatra7.
Your welcome … don’t know this site or anything and have no affiliation / only googled…
But this woman seems to do quite a nice job explaining things and has 72 recipes to share lol
Worth a look.

Wow thank you so much I will definitely check it out!
What a nice gift of appreciation from your parents! I have no recipes but look forward to seeing your new creations Diane! C
Thanks Cheryl I have to learn this new way of cooking. Once I master it I will be posting them.
Very nice!
I thought so too it was a nice surprise. It is a completely different way to cook. Thanks Christy!
I have the Ninja Foodi 6 quart and love it. I like doing cornish hens and whole chickens in mine!
Are the recipes for chicken and game hens in the Ninja book or do you have a good one Georgetta? I have to figure out time and temperature etc. I know nothing! I am going to watch some YouTube videos too as I heard that helps.
Actually, I winged it! I cooked 3 cornish at one time. First I seasoned them. Then baked them for 10 minutes on each side. I then changed the pan to the airfryer pan and airfried them for increments of 10 minutes for a total of 20 minutes, to make sure they cooked and crispy. They turned out juicy and delicious. My husband lives when I cooked them.
I used the pressure cooker feature for cooking smoked turkey and pinto beans also. Turned out very cooked.
The only cookbook I could find was one for an instant pot. From what I learned on youtube they are all pretty much the same.
Great thanks for sharing that Georgetta! The way we keep our hubby happy is through their stomachs!
Amen to that!🥰 My husband isn’t bigger than a minute and can put food away like a hungry bear!🤣🤣 He loves the food cooked from the Ninja Foodi, plus with his dietary restrictions foods taste much better and accommodate his taste buds.😊👣
Interesting cooker. I had not heard of it. You are indeed the kitchen gadget queen! The difference between you and some gadget collectors is that you actually use and enjoy them. Good for you!
I really do use mine. Thank you!
Wow!!! Congratulations 🎉🎉
I hope you enjoy making many dishes in this 😀😀
Me too! The only gadget I have that I don’t like is the instant pot. I love my Ninja slow cooker so fingers crossed. Thank you!
Waiting for your posts on your new find😀😀
It may be a while. The Ninja was broken on the plastic vent plate on the bottom. I called the company and they are giving me a brand new one. I didn’t have a receipt as it was a gift. I offered to send pictures and she just said no that’s ok. She told me to keep the broken Ninja too….go figure!
I don’t like the Insta-Pot either Diane, everything was mushy and tasted boiled – the crisps part sounds interesting!
I agree Joni!
Looking forward to hearing about this. I don’t have one and looking forward to what you make in it.
For me it is space… I just don’t have enough space to hold so many gadgets. Although I do have them.
I am looking forward to sharing what I make as well Nancy. This is huge and very heavy so it probably wouldn’t be a good one for you.
I like to use new things, can it will get in India? But what about its warranty?
Can you buy from Amazon.com? I believe that’s where my mom bought it from. Haven’t thoroughly look at warranty but I believe it is 1 year.
Okay , will check.
Wow the cooker sounds good. Hope you are having fun with it
Haven’t tried it yet but looking forward to it. Thank you!
Did you use it ? A beautiful gift. 🙂 amitiés
Not yet I have to watch some YouTube videos and get some recipes but I will post anything that I make and is successful.
I’ve always been terrified of pressure cookers since I was in college and someone told me a “pressure cooker horror story”. But I would think a zillion years later the technology has improved 🙂
Oh yes no more jiggly weights for one. I have a lot to learn before I try all the features.
I remember you liked your other Ninja cooking gadget that you said was multi-functional so you’ll have lots of fun with this one too Diane. How thoughtful of your parents to get this for you. They are happy to be in close proximity to you and the grandkids again.
Yes it was very nice. Unfortunately when I opened the box the bottom piece was broken. I called the company and they are sending me another one. Yes it is nice to have them back and they feel the same.
Well I’m liking for your parents’ return from Florida and it’s a win-win for all of you. Sorry to hear about the broken part. You’ll have to wait to experiment a little longer.
The new one came today. I just called them Tuesday…amazing! I haven’t had time to open it yet.
I did see it dehydrated and you have shown photos before of the shelves/drawers that you used to dehydrate with, so this will be easier for you I am sure. It had a lot of functions!
It is too small for the amount I dehydrate. That’s why I bought the huge dehydrator. But you never know, I may use that function for something some day.
And it is good as a backup for your regular dehydrator too should it ever wear out ’til you get a new one.
Good point!
Congratulations 🎉 It is a great gift from your parents. It a fabulous piece of gadget. I can relate how one can’t rid of the old ones. Waiting to read the recipes you creaate and share with us, using this.
Thank you! I definitely will be sharing my recipes after I figure it out…lol
Is the first time I see one but looks like a wonderful gadget 😉 Enjoy it 😉
It will take some time to figure it out but I hope it’s a good one. Thanks!
That’s amazing – I don’t even understand the names of some of the things it can do! lol 😁
I can’t wait to experiment Jo. I have a lot to learn before I get started.
I’m sure you will make some amazing food with it!
You are so good for my ego…lol
😁
Very nice 🙂 I’ve never used a pressure cooker at all, so I’m looking forward to reading about your experiences with it…
Hopefully they are good experiences…lol
Awesome!
I agree, thank you!
We enjoy Ninja products, so we may look into this!
As soon as I get some time I will be posting recipes. I love that this does so much more than just pressure cook too. I also have a Ninja 3 in 1 slow cooker and it’s wonderful!
The many variations of pressure cookers continue to amaze! I have never encountered one until 9 months ago when I moved here to Spain and it has changed the way I look at cooking, especially caseroles and stocky meals 🥰 hope you enjoyed yours! Happy cooking (also I love the name having Ninja in it)
They have many products with the Ninja name. I own their Ninja 3 in 1 slow cooker too. It is a cooktop, slow cooker, bakes and keeps food warm. I love it!
