Ninja Combi All-in-One Multicooker, Oven, & Air Fryer, Complete Meals in 15 Mins, 14-in-1 Functions, Combi Cooker + Air Fry, Bake, Roast, Slow Cook and More, 3 Accessories, Stainless Steel, SFP701

This little combi oven does a phenomenal job with steaming (hard boiled eggs, potatoes) and air fry (panko crusted fish filets, eggplant, cauliflower, frozen samosas and egg rolls, etc with or without breading). I have enjoyed mastering the "combi meal" setting that allows you to cook a meal for 8 in about 12 to 15 mins. We get great results with frozen chicken-- I mean frozen solid, rock-like chicken breasts or thighs coated in marinade or oil and seasonings-- golden brown and delicious in 15 mins. It really does it. On bake setting, it heats up very quickly and has done a great job with bread and cookies, anything we've put in there. We have cut our monthly gas bill by over 40% by using this oven instead of baking with our gas oven-range and our electricity usage has barely gone up at all. Where we live, we're saving a good $35/mo by using the Ninja every day. We don't own a microwave, btw, fwiw, and we don't need one. Between the InstantPot for cooking beans, making soup and braising meat under pressure, and the Ninja for fast multi-part meals, steaming and air frying, we don't really need our oven-range at all. Add a single induction burner for wok cooking and cooking fried eggs here and there and we would be all set. There has been a short learning curve for using the combi meals setting and heating up leftovers. White rice and pasta cook exactly as they tell you. Brown rice really needs to be par-cooked. Quinoa has been a little hit and miss with being slightly underdone. I'd suggest starting with a veggie stew of some kind, mixing the quinoa in half again more water or broth than you'd use on the stovetop, and making sure all of it is spread evenly across the pan. I have loved sautéing onions and peppers right in the pan I use to cook rice, sometimes toasting the rice to make pilaf. You could totally use this oven to make risotto. Seafood up top during combi meals cooks very quickly-- maybe 10 mins unless it's frozen. With shrimp or thin fresh fillets, consider putting the seafood on the bake tray after your rice or pasta have mostly cooked. Be careful to trim your parchment to fit the bake tray and don't put so much parchment in there that it touches the element above. Thick frozen mahi mahi fillets were beautifully done after 12 mins. I wouldn't recommend sticking this oven inside a cabinet because it kicks out a good amount of steam. It needs plenty of overhead space but it has a small footprint on our counter. The controls are intuitive and easy to read, and temp adjustments are in 5 degree F increments. I love this Ninja oven and plan on buying one for my daughter when she goes away for college!

This Combi Cooker has no business being this good. I’ve cooked full meals, sides, and absolute masterpieces in this thing with zero stress. Everything comes out perfectly cooked, juicy, and flavorful like I actually know what I’m doing. It’s fast, easy, and has completely replaced multiple appliances in my kitchen. I am emotionally attached to this cooker and will never shut up about it. If mine broke tomorrow, I’d buy another immediately without hesitation.

I cook a lot of things in the oven. I would rather take 30 minutes to get something that tastes good with better texture than a couple minutes in the microwave. This means that on a nearly daily basis I’m dealing with long preheat times, and a running fan after the oven is off to disperse the heat. I wanted something that could take the place of the oven for many meals, and also I wanted to dip my toes into the air fryer world. Happy to report that after using this for about a month, the Combi has done just that. I use it to bake things more often than I air fry, and I rarely use the combi bake/crisp features. But here are my thoughts on each. Baking is super nice because the preheat is around 2-3 minutes. Compare that to 10+ minutes for the oven. I do find that I need to decrease the temp about 25F from what is indicated on the recipe/box of the food. This is probably because of the small space. If I don’t do that, the food has a tendency to get a bit overdone. Also, for food capacity while baking, it’s pretty good. I am at home with myself and three kids, and I can often make all the food we need. Plus, if you ever get those Detroit style frozen pizzas, they fit perfectly in the back tray! Air frying is so fantastic! I love the crispiness. I love the taste. Best at home chicken wings I have ever made. And I love to use it for seafood, nuggets, etc. The combi bake and crisp continues to confuse me. I have used it, but I’m always guessing at temperature and time. I did make some sausages recently on the combi crisp. The insides were juicy and tender while the skin had a very slight crisp to is. So that was cool. But when I tried veggies and chicken in the combi bake, the chicken was awesome, but the veggies were soggy. The combi features are going to need a while to get used to. Overall, this is a really great purchase, and had made meal time more efficient and sometimes tastier.

Unreal I have no words for his easy to work and how great steaks, vegetables and chicken are to cook

I've been using this for years and recently gifted one to a friend. I love the variety of options that it gives you from air frying to steaming to convection oven. I've even made boiled eggs in it.

Along with poking holes so the center cooks instead of turning into a bubble, for 4 cups of water there is a line in the pan. Beef burgers, rice, carrots, zucchini, pork steaks (bone in), and chicken thighs boneless so far. Combi meal for protein, veggies, carbs. When I have carb/rice/pasta left then did combi crisp mode for protein+veggies. It's been cleaning up easily inside so far and soaking the pans first then cleaning with a scrub daddy/mommy works well. It does produce a lot of thick steam especially when you are done. What I've been doing is having a large cutting board over the stove with a ceramic mat designed to absorb heat, so I can use it under the vent hood. My cord is long enough to reach a plug fine, so I haven't tried using an extension cord (heavy duty), which I have that I used for my old George F Grill. Use the suggested canola oil, not olive oil. Olive oil has a lower smoking point, I don't know about other oils. I don't normally cook, and eating out is getting expensive now. It can feed 4 people easily per meal, I haven't been over stuffing the proteins. It's been my 2 parents and myself, then some left over for at least 1+ person. Then bottom pan does slide/scrape but I did the 4 year protection plan, and I'm not cooking off of the bottom side so its sorta like how the rice cooker scrapes the bottom too. If you clean up as you go aka/prep work, having only 3 parts really helps motivate to clean/keep things simple +wiping the inside down. I'm too lazy to keep doing the George F Grill where even the top/bottom popped off for easy cleaning, but the psychological part of everything all at once makes it more appealing versus the GFG. Even though it says 15 minute meals that's not counting the warming up time which can be probably 10-15 additional time. On the bright side I don't have to flip things over, nor do I have to wait until it warms up before putting things in. So when you really plan things out and prep before you can just toss things into the correct tray then plug it all in set the mode, temp, time, and then wait roughly 30 min for it to do it's magic.

8-19-24 UPDATE: DO NOT buy!!! My thumb got cut deep because the foil wrapper came loose off the tray handle!!! Don’t be fooled!! It is not true stainless steel on those two handles. They are wrapped in foil paper only. The heat will eventually make them peel off and become sharper than a knife blade!! Wish i never bought it!! YOU have been WARNED!!! Old Review: Pros: -very very quiet when it’s on Airfry. Almost seems like it’s not even on. -cooks pretty well -crispy combo makes food pretty crispy but not extra moist as I thought it be, but it could be user error or I may need more time to figure what I need to do different to make it more moist. Cons: -height is too low. If you’re using the Combo option with the water pan, you can only fit one cornish hen BUT you need to flatten the chest. Otherwise the chest will touch the burner coils on top and burn your meat. -since height is low AND the back is deep, flipping the meat/food is difficult. You need to pull the tray very far out but that scares me because it feels like the tray will slide out completely. So I have to pull the tray completely out onto my countertop to flip the food. Very inconvenient. -no handle so opening the door is very awkward and inconvenient. You need to use one hand to open the door and one hand to brace the vent area on top. -when using the Combo option, smoke and steam will be excessive and will stink up and fog up the whole room!! -difficult to clean the top because the burner coils are on top. I would have NOT bought this had I known these cons. I’m only keeping it because it’s all stainless steel inside (tray and pan aren’t stainless steel) and I’m tired of looking for another all stainless steel air fryer.

So far, this thing is GREAT! Used the air fry option for the first time to make egg roll wrapped pickle spears. Air fried for about 7 minutes at 400 (flipping halfway), they crisped up nicely but the ends burnt just barely so next time I will lower temp and cook a bit longer. This was a recipe fault, though, not the machine. The machine itself smelled a little of burned plastic on the first use but it went away within ten minutes. I love that it lights up when there is one minute left to your cook or preheating time! It helps grab your attention. The light and see through window is not only exciting (so you can watch your food cook in real time) but also very useful to gage if something needs to be flipped or removed sooner than recipe calls for. The unit itself vents heat very efficiently and my counter top did not get warm. Unfortunately I have to use it underneath a hanging cabinet, but I pulled it forward enough that there were no issues with overheating. I did not touch the machine to check if it gets hot anywhere on the surface, but I did stick my fingers along the bottom to ensure whatever is beneath it didn't get hot. It doesn't, so no risk to surfaces with a properly vented and situated machine. This machine heats up a lot faster than a conventional oven and does not give off nearly as much ambient heat, which will no doubt make it incredibly useful during the summer months when I want to bake without heating up my entire kitchen. I will be using the other features on this machine as time goes on and I will try to update as I do. Looking forward to using it and seeing what this machine can do with all the various recipes included in the booklet!
