Santa got me the OL601 for Christmas, which does not have the thermometer, but it arrived just in time because my poor Instant Pot died on Christmas Eve. I’m sure I just wore the poor little beastie out, lol! It served me well. Anyway, does Ninja plan to offer a stainless steel pot? I really like the SS pots. For the short time that I’ve had the Ninja Foodi XL, I’ve been very impressed!

@PressureCookingToday 2 жыл бұрын

We love the stainless pots as well! Ninja doesn't currently have anything listed under the Parts & Accessories for the 601 or 701 models; however, none of the other Ninjas have an "official" stainless steel pot-just the "nanoceramic" version it comes with. So I'd imagine these Smart Lid models would be the same as well. I'll reach out to Ninja and see what I hear back. I love that Santa knew just what you needed!

I really want a good explanation of the technology, I like the slider from dense pressurised to up/down lid kinda like a press but for air.. then to strictly open air / top burner (broiler). how does the middle mode (steam) work? would dehydrate remove water faster than steam frying? or just saute and stir? air fry? I cooked some brown rice, did a quick release before any delay, stirred in vegetables and put ground beef on the rack to broil. turned out really good just wish i hadnt added another cup of water after cooking the rice. spent a while babysitting and trying to figure out if theres a faster way to remove water than just saute with an open top

You could also make a slurry with flour or cornstarch and thicken it instead of reducing it with the saute function.

I got my wife the Ninja Foodi deluxe for Christmas and we are having some difficulty getting it to pressurize, it takes forever and sometimes never gets pressurized., it has ruined many dinners. We have done the water test and it has worked fine. Every time we start using the pressure cooker my wife adds 1 cup of water and in no time it always tells us to add water again and again. We have the valve set for the seal position,but steam is always coming out, is that normal? Any help you can give us we would appreciate it.

@PressureCookingToday 2 жыл бұрын

Hi there, that's definitely not normal. Is the sealing ring pushed firmly into position? That's usually the culprit when steam is coming out the sides. It can come out the valve a little bit when it's coming to pressure, but that's usually for a short time and it comes all the way to pressure thereafter. Are you finding things burned onto the bottom of the pot when it tells you to add water? Are you following a specific recipe when you're trying to cook?

Hi, I purchased this a few months ago mainly for the pressure cooking setting. I tried the pressure setting a few times and always gets the "no pressure" message. I add more liquid, and it still happens. So freaking frustrating!! I bought this to speed up the process and end up spending much more time trying over and over and end up cooking on the stove top. I'm about to throw this shit away. Why do you think this keeps happening. I usually have let's say: 1/4 to 1/3 with solids (meat, chicken, rice etc) the the rest liquid. Never more than 1/ 2 to 2/3 full total.. I'm I doing something wrong or is my machine defective. Or am I just stupid?
