Functions
While there are many multi-purpose slow cookers and pressure cookers on the market, you’d be hard pressed to find one that does such a great job so consistently across all of them.

Seven functions makes the Ninja OP101 Foodi 7-in-1 the ideal kitchen appliance. In only 25 minutes or less, you can pressure cook frozen meats to quickly defrost and cook them at the same time. Then drop the crisping lid to give your meal a crispy finish.

Whether you want to slow cook a stew over several hours, pressure cook, roast, steam, sear, fry or bake, you can get it done with this compact device.

There are 3 essential units to the Ninja OP101 Foodi 7-in-1 that, combined, allow for an impressive range of recipes.

Cooking Capacity
With a 5-qt cooking pot and 3-qts of air fry capacity, the Foodi Compact makes it easy to cook for a large family or a couple. The crock pot holds up to four pounds of food or a whole pot roast at one time. You can quickly fry up to 2 pounds of french fries in the Cook and Crisp Basket.

Ease of Use
Compared to similarly priced brands of multipurpose pressure cooker appliances, the Ninja OP101 Foodi 7-in-1 has a more simplified design that makes it easier to use. While there is a learning curve to using all the different functions, there are some built-in features to guide your cooking.

The timer on the interface is super easy to read, for example, in contrast to some of the Instant Pot models. When the countdown timer reaches zero, it starts again, counting upward. A pressure release valve on the pressure lid allows you to easily adjust the internal pressure and moisture.

Cut down the need for using your oven and enjoy using the air fry and TenderCrisp functions. The sealed lids retain heat and moisture in the perfect ratio to achieve crispy tender meat every time. Fries, chicken, pork, fish and vegetables can all be air fried in only twenty five minutes or even less!

A user manual, along with fifteen recipes are also included to further help you master the intricacies of this incredible multi-purpose pressure cooker pot.

Durability
Solidly built of heat resistant silicone and plastic on the outside, the Ninja OP101 Foodi 7-in-1 boasts a sturdy interior as well. A removable crock pot and air fryer are included, and the sleek black finish hides stains and blemishes well as it ages with use.

Due to its compact design, you’ll find the Foodi Compact can be stored on most kitchen countertops without inconvenience. You do need access to an electrical outlet, however. When not in use, it weighs about 23 pounds, which is a bit on the heavy side if you suffer from chronic,muscle pains, wrist injuries or back-related pain.

Cleaning And Maintenance
Cleaning the Ninja OP101 Foodi is a breeze, since many of the parts are dishwasher safe. The pressure lid is not detachable but the silicone gasket is. The gasket does absorb the smell of the food you cooked but a little soaking in soap and water will take care of that.

Wipe down the exterior with a damp cloth, or use a scrubbing pad to gently remove food debris after each use, and this is sure to last you several years.
