Review Text: More than an instant pot. So I have a rice cooker and a 7qt Instant Pot. The rice cooker was retired when I got the Instant Pot and I think the Ninja Foodi will be my go to cooker now. It does most of the functions of an Instant Pot and more. Tonight I unboxed the unit and accessories, washed them all with hot soapy water and dried them. I then wanted to try something simple and something the Instant Pot doesn't do. So I chose frozen french fries. I set the unit to 20 minutes and let it heat up for the first five. Then I added 3 minutes to make it 18 for cooking. During the warm up I added a pound of frozen fries to the baking pot and it was ready to drop in. I opened the unit about 4 times to stir/toss the fries a bit and each time the cooking paused with no issues. It wasn't super hot and I didn't have a mitten on. I was just careful not to get too close in case of steam or touching a hot surface. The fries came out great. Almost burnt, but mostly golden brown. The outside was snappy and the inside was soft and just right. I never get fries like that out of my oven. I waited to clean the pots as they were hot even through a mitt. I ate my fries...which again were delish and then with a mitt I removed the cooking pot and baking pot and cooled them under a cold streaming faucet. Then a quick was with a few drops of Dawn and a good rinse. I know I'm going to be using this as I enjoy many frozen items. I need to read the book and see if I can do frozen hot wings next. I have a couple of bags in the freezer ready for some blue cheese dressing! If you like easy cooking, the recipe book has a lot of choices besides frozen foods to try. Most of them required a number of ingredients that I didn't have on hand, so I went with my favorite frozen food. For me and my type of cooking, I highly recommend the Ninja Foodi!
