Ninja MultiPot XL reviewed for kitchen versatility

The Ninja MultiPot XL is a 12-in-1 multifunctional cooker designed to replace multiple countertop appliances such as slow cookers, Dutch ovens, and rice cookers. The device features 12 distinct settings, including slow cook, sear/sauté, bake, steam, sous vide, rice, pasta, mixed rice, stir fry, shallow fry, hot pot, and keep warm.

The unit offers flexible cooking configurations with ceramic-coated pots. Users can utilize the ‘Megazone’ 7.5-quart pot or opt for two smaller 3.5-quart pots. Testing indicates the appliance performs well in searing and sautéing functions, capable of quickly preheating and developing crusts on proteins similar to a stovetop non-stick pan.
