Ninja Multi Cooker 3 in 1 Cooking System Review

A well-stocked kitchen has one of everything — or does it?

The Ninja 3-in-1 Cooking System promises to be the one machine that cooks will need to perform a variety of tasks. The Ninja system is capable of browning, baking, roasting, steaming, sautéing and slow cooking meals to perfect in a form factor that's similar to a traditional crockpot.

SINGLE SIMPLE CONTROLS

A single control switches between all the functions of the Ninja system. Cooks simply have to turn the dial to the right setting and insert food. For roasting, the Ninja 3-in-1 cooker comes with a removable roasting rack that fits perfectly into the container. The same rack allows cooks to steam vegetables and other food by pouring water into the Ninja system. The roasting rack must be hand washed.

DISHWASHER SAFE AND EASY TO CLEAN

Unlike heavy crockpots, the roasting pan in the Ninja system is lightweight, and it's also safe for use in the dishwasher. It also remains easy to clean, and the ability to make the various parts of one meal in the same pot saves time when it comes to cleanup. Plus, the system is versatile. When used as a steamer, the Ninja cooker switches its temperature gauge to a timer. When time runs up, the Ninja system automatically turns off.

BAKEWARE COMPATIBILITY 

The Ninja 3-in-1 Cooking System is compatible with a variety of bake ware, including 8-inch square baking pans and individual silicone baking cups. This allows the Ninja cooker to make tasty desserts in addition to the main course. Chefs who want inspiration for using their Ninja cooker can rely on the included recipe book, which includes over two dozen different meals to try in the Ninja system. Ninja also sells a separate cookbook with over 150 recipes for cooks.

Of course, the Ninja cooker requires less energy and emits less heat than a traditional oven. Chefs can roast meats without raising the temperature of the entire room, so this appliance is ideal for hot summer months and warmer climates. The Ninja 3-in-1 cooker might be good for small spaces such as dorms or kitchens in studio apartments, but it's also a capable appliance that the practiced chef will find useful.
