Ninja Cooking System review

Ninja Cooking System Review

Getting a delicious, healthy meal on the table quickly sounds like a dream come true some days.  It always seems like at the end of the day, I am running behind on everything. Dinner is late. Someone is at the door. The phone won’t stop ringing.  

I’m seriously tempted to load the family into the car and head out for fast food. Honestly, some days I do, but I know that’s not the answer.  

It seems like meals that are good for you take a long time to prepare. Meals that are super quick are generally not healthy or don’t taste very good.

Ninja Slow Cooker System

When I went to BlogHer Food in Austin, Texas in June, I had the check out some of the neat products from Ninja Kitchen.  While they were all pretty amazing, the one that stood out for me the most was the Ninja Cooking System. The Ninja Cooking System is a 3 in 1 cooking system. 

  • Steam Infused Roasting and Baking
  • Fast One Pot Meal Making
  • Searious Programmable Slow Cooking

It browns

So, it uses triple fusion heat to cook food with 30% less fat and 30% faster than conventional ovens. What is triple fusion heat? The Ninja Cooking System uses bottom/side heat along with superheated steam to cook.

What can a Ninja Cooking System do?

It can do just about any kind of cooking that I want it to.  I can roast a 6 pound chicken or 4 pound roast using steam infused roasting.  The steam baking means I can bake yummy muffins or cupcakes (and use up to half the fat).

I can make one pot meals like spaghetti and meatballs or shrimp scampi with 5 minutes prep time and 30 minutes total cooking time!  

When I use it as a slow cooker, I can sear the meat right in the same pan & then re-heat it tomorrow in the same non stick pot!

So, the Ninja Cooking System has been saving me TONS of time in the kitchen. I can cook the entire meal in non-stick pot. It’s removable for serving, easy to clean and unbreakable.

 The oven temperature can be set between 250F and 425F degrees so it easily cooks any meal I want to make. The built in stove top can be set to low, medium or high.  

The slow cooker has a timer and an auto keep warm function. You can program it with low, high or buffet settings.

Recipes for Ninja Slow Cooker system

I made a Hearty Skillet Lasagna in the Ninja Cooking System and it was amazing. I literally had 10 minutes hands on time and everything was cooked and served all in one pot!

It cleaned up super quickly and was very easy to use. The Ninja Cooking System comes with a multi-purpose pan and a silicone petite muffin tray.  

Finally, it also comes with a recipe booklet to get you started using the Ninja Cooking System. So, if you’d like to save time in the kitchen without sacrificing taste or resorting to unhealthy food, I definitely recommend the Ninja Cooking System.

If you have the Ninja Foodi, you have got to try this Ninja Foodi Chicken Tikka recipe. It’s easy to make and packed full of flavor.

  18. Would be very interested in this from a time and energy saving perspective, but I’m curious about what kind of heat it puts out in the kitchen.

    • I didn’t notice any extra heat in the kitchen and I used it during the heat wave we just had in Vermont. It’s definitely not more than my slow cooker used to give out.

  19. I learned that with its estimated 50% faster cooking speed it would be an overall cooking system for anything on busy nights. Its compact size would be good for a small kitchen because of its wide range of features . It is also a great way for those hearty dinners and tasty desserts you want to make but don’t want to heat up the house in doing so, which is great for lazy hot summer days. The recipes for all the pasta dishes looked fantastic and super easy.

Slow cooking is cooking foods at low temperature for a long time in a moist cooking environment. Typical slow cook meals take 8-10 hours on low and 4-6 hours on high.
