Thank you for the video, it is exactly what we need, as we are trying to decide which one to keep. We clearly overlooked the fact that the instant pot doesn't have the "combi" mode. I was going to say the cooking result is a bit unfair for the instant, as the pressure cook mode will obvious leave liquids in the pot. However, thinking about it again, the lacking of recipe is the root cause, so it is a fair point.

Thank you so much for your comment. This is exactly the point I'm trying to get across. Instant Pot leaves you to figure things out for yourself. When I want to get dinner on the table I don't have time for trial and error. Thanks so much for watching!

I fell in LOVE with the original Ninja Foodi multi cooker from years ago. Was so excited to upgrade to the Smart Lid model, but unfortunately could not handle to loud and constant BEEPING. :( I switched to the Nuwave Duet multi cooker and am happy with it. But boy, I really do miss the Ninja! Great video!

When comparing the two the first thing that stood out is Instant pt has a stainless steel pot vs Ninja nonstick coated pot. I prefer not to invest nonstick coatings after they start to break down.

you can just buy a sepatate steel pot for Ninja, it worth the ability to steam and crisp at the same time honestly

My dear Sweet Savant, I’ve tested the foodi and the instat pot pro crisp and I prefer the instant pro crisp. It’s much more quiet, it’s more intuitive, it has a preheating function also for the Air fryer for Perfect results, from my breakfast Croissants to my Chips, I will send my foody back.

Hi Bertha, it's great to see you! I absolutely agree, Ninja provides a better experience from the start. Thanks for watching!

The instant pot would not require that much liquid because of the cabbage is gonna be full of water, So is the carrots, and onion, so you could make it with the exact proportions that you do for the ninja foodie. It’s always because of the moisture content that will be varied

Thanks for your review. I would like to add that with the Instant pot yuo can NOT buy replacement parts like gaskets and float for the pressure cooker. Mine did not even come with the gasket. 40 minutes on hold, they disconnected me and said I timed out. Seriously, you are more than correct about you choice. You are also correct about the lack of information on how to use the instant pot. I never have used a pressure cooker, spent hours using and then found out it did not have the gasket for the float which according to what was writen could have blown up my kitchen.

Great presentation! Looking forward to the next one

I’ve had instant pot stuff, and when they first came out, they were the only kid on the block and we love them but Ninja has taken what they did right, and added to it, and made up intuitive much more realistic appliance for the rest of us, so I gave my instant pot away to my sister who likes a pressure cooker who doesn’t necessarily have the time to devote to how to use the ninja like you know we all have because she still working so I can always buy her a Ninja Foodie if she wants one but she hasn’t wanted one

I do like that removable plate to clean those valves at the sink.

For the price of ninja there should be a stainless steel inner bowl. Plus has it now got the sous vide function?

Do you know if there’s any accessories available for the instant pot ultimate lid? I’m looking for a glass lid, extra metal pot, silicone lid and whatever else they may have. I couldn’t find anything specific to that model.

Hi! I read through some comments on the Instant Pot website and other customers were looking for similar products. Judging from the responses they received, I don't believe any other accessories are available. I suggest reaching out to Instant Pot customer service to be sure. Thanks for watching!

I have an Instant Pot which has been ok except for the slow cooker mode. It takes a couple hours to preheat and then things don’t end up as fall apart as a stand alone slow cooker. Have you used that mode on Ninja and if so has it worked well?

Hi I’m new to your channel. Please could you do an updated comparison of both with making food other than roast

Sweetie, I think if you owned the earlier instapot models, the same principles apply as in recipe use with this one.

@sweetsavant

10 ай бұрын

Hi! Actually, I've owned several of the models and have demonstrated them on this channel. This is quite different. Even if this were a similar product, not every user or new purchaser would have that experience to know how earlier models worked. These appliances cost too much money to leave consumers to figure things out for themselves. The company needs to do better. Thanks for watching.

Did you ever use the instant pot bread proofing feature? If so, is it better than the yogurt or dehydration feature that everyone else uses for proofing when their pot doesn't have an actual proofing feature?

Looks to me that the Instant Pot has the lid hinge in the preferred location. I am left-handed and it helps with the lid opening away from me and at the same time, I can see the panel menu.

Probably it’s because any pressure cook recipe that you have or air fry recipe you have already will work perfectly and they’ve been selling pressure cookers forever and most of us have cut books already and the times will be accurate plus or minus a little just like always because of quantity and temperature of the liquid

@sweetsavant

I totally get what you're saying. However this isn't just a pressure cooker. It has a proof setting that is unlike its other products but they don't give you any recipe to use it. This is where the issue comes in. If you're going to sell a product with multiple different settings it's a good idea to give people recipes and clear instructions on how to use it. Thanks for watching

Remember an air fryer is just an oven. You don’t need to pressure cook or steam sausages. They have enough fat inside them that they won’t dry out on the standard air fry mode that’s not too high. Same again for cabbage 🤦‍♂️ which would create it’s own steam in that thing so as not to burn but still reduce down. A good test would have been roast chicken on a steam fry combo mode or steam/pressure cook followed by air fry on instapot. Sausages are also tender enough not to pressure cook them. Pressure cooking is for tough cheap meats that require tenderising.

I prefer the cabbage softer... you might try low instead of high pressure to keep them from splitting open rather than lowering the time? ... and less liquid. Unless you want it for stock broth. I like the Ninja the way it browned was a lot better. Didn't they tell you to go to the website to get recipes and manual with Instant? That's what they did when I bought one. Honestly I think it was over done and had too much water in the Instant pot.
