Ninja Pressure Cooker vs Instant Pot: what is the difference?
The Ninja Foodi Pressure Cooker (£279.99) is slightly more expensive than the Instant Pot Duo Crisp (£220) when both are sold at their full RRP. However, with plenty of promotions running throughout the year, including Black Friday, you should be able to get either one for considerably less.
The Ninja has a total of 11 cooking functions, while the Instant Pot boasts 13 functions. This means that the Instant Pot can sous vide, roast and proof bread and other baked goods, while the Ninja cannot.
The Instant Pot cooking appliance has a slightly bigger capacity, at 6.2 litres to Ninja’s six. So, it’s not surprising that its dimensions are bigger too, which might be slightly offputting for those with a smaller kitchen or limited counter space.
What functions does the Ninja Pressure Cooker have?
With 11 functions in total, the Ninja Pressure Cooker can also air fry, grill, bake, sear/sauté, dehydrate and slow cook. There are also three steam settings – regular steam, steam air fry and steam bake. Plus, the device can be used to make your own yoghurt.
Is the Ninja Pressure Cooker easy to clean?
Yes. From the non-stick cooking pot to the non-stick cook and crisp basket and the single-tier rack, all of the interior components are dishwasher safe.
I tried washing them by hand as well, and had no issues cleaning them manually. While in terms of the exterior of the appliance, it can be cleaned with a damp microfibre cloth every so often to keep it looking its best. But I didn’t notice it amassing any dirt or grease over the weeks when I put it to the test.
What is the cooking capacity of the Ninja Pressure Cooker?
The Ninja Pressure Cooker has a six-litre capacity overall. This should comfortably allow you to cook for six or seven people, or a similar amount of servings.
If you choose to air fry in it, the cook and crisp basket has a 3.7-litre capacity – more than enough to air fry everything from crispy chips to baked potatoes and chicken strips, with the cooking rack helping you to make the most of the vertical space inside the device.
