Honestly, the only downside is that it’s not a pressure cooker. If you’re hoping to make a whole brisket in 35 minutes, you’d need the Ninja Foodi Max. This model is all about low-and-slow or gentle steaming—think risottos, chilis, steamed fish, and soft boiled eggs. It’s also a bit of a beast on your countertop (like a large coffee maker), so you need to make permanent space for it.
But here’s the thing: you can get rid of your rice cooker, your slow cooker, your steamer, and your sauté pan. Suddenly, that space issue doesn’t seem so bad.

The “keep warm” feature is a lifesaver
Ever started cooking dinner and then realized the kids are still doing homework or your partner is stuck in traffic? The keep-warm function runs for up to 12 hours, keeping things at a perfect eating temperature. It’s like a time machine for your food—just hit the button and eat when you’re ready.
And yes, you can literally leave it on “keep warm” overnight if you’re making steel-cut oats for the next morning. Breakfast, ready when you are.
