Ninja and Instant Pot multicookers featured in appliance tests

Recent comparisons and product highlights focus on the performance and design of multicookers and air fryers from brands such as Ninja and Instant Pot.

A comparative test of the Ninja Foodi 14-in-1, the Instant Pot Duo Mini, and the Instant Pot Duo Crisp evaluated their ability to combine pressure cooking and air frying. The Ninja Foodi 14-in-1 was noted for producing the crispest fries in approximately 14 minutes and offering a broad range of functions.

Additionally, the Ninja CRISPi air fryer has gained attention for its compact design, utilizing a PowerPod that sits atop glass containers rather than a traditional bulky basket. The system includes two TempWare glass containers with capacities of 1.4 and 3.8 liters, allowing users to monitor cooking progress through the glass. The glass containers are heat-resistant, dishwasher safe, and can be used for direct refrigeration after cooking.
