I have put off trying the pressure cooker part of the 6.5 ninja foodie; because my Mom used the old fashioned pressure cooker, and somehow blew green beans all over the kitchen ceiling. She used the pressure cooker to make fruit cakes, roasts , everything but I was hesitant to do anything with the pressure cooker. Watching your video soothed my fears; and I am actually boiling the 3 cups water pretest. Wow, really proud of myself. FEAR, you don't own me.

This video made a huge difference for me! I found out the hard way my unit wasn't coming to pressure (I tried cooking dinner in it before doing this test). To troubleshoot I did the pressure test and was so grateful to have your commentary - made it easier to know what had gone wrong (bad valve). I called Ninja and they are replacing my lid right away! Thank you!

I am SO relieved that I'm not the only one who was confused by placing the pressure lid. Girl... it was a complete comedy show over here for a few minutes. I was ready to send the whole thing back! Finally, I Googled the lid and realized how simple it is to get the lid on. Felt like an idiot. Now I am watching your videos to start using this Foodi. I have a Duo80 so I'm not sure why the Foodi terrifies me a little. LOL So - thank you for this and all the videos. I am subbing. By the way, my family got me the Deluxe and it came to pressure fast. I have an IP Duo80 but I can never hear the indicator beeps so I love that this one is loud.

Chicken wings? U fry after pressure cooking?

Wish I had watched this video before doing the pressure test. Although the instructions that come with aren't bad, they don't tell you about the steam that comes out whilst pressure is building, or how long it takes. It took mine about 8 minutes too, and I thought something was wrong... Also it was useful to see the venting of the steam to release the pressure and then being able to remove the lid straight after. I wasn't prepared for the powerful rush of steam, and was then afraid to remove the lid as wasn't sure if all the pressure had been released! Also the instructions don't warn you about how hot the water will be inside - obvious, maybe, but still very useful to know.

Thanks! I thought I was going to blow-up my family and house, so I turned it off. 🤣🤦‍♀️ I found your video right away and felt comfortable starting dinner back up haha!

Hi there! There is a small raised arrow on the pressure lid and one on the front of the Ninja Foodi. If you line the two arrows up the lid falls into place and then you can tighten it on! Also, if the power is on while you put the lid on it beeps when the lid is secure 😊

I have had mine since Thanksgiving. It’s my first pressure cooker, and I’m still afraid of it. I think that’s a good thing. But the electronic ones like this are very safe compared to the older styles. Be familiar with the directions. There are multiple functions, and each can be used wrong. The steamer and dehydrator functions work with the pressure lid on but are supposed to be used with the pressure valve open. I don’t know if the pressure safety functions are still operating in these other modes, and I don’t want to find out the hard way. Close the pressure valve only in Pressure mode.

@TheSaltedPepper

5 жыл бұрын

7heRedBaron 7heRedBaron The new pressure cookers have so many safety features built in, they are very safe to use. I still use caution when opening the sealing valve. It’s interesting the dehydrating functions with the pressure lid because it’s the Tendercrisp lid that you should be using to dehydrate foods. It’s the fan circulation and low heat that draws the moisture out of the food.

@7heRedBaron

I may be mistaken about the dehydrator mode where I should have said the simmer mode. But I have actually seen someone doing a KZread video close the valve in steamer mode to cook broccoli and not know why it came out broccoli soup. I was more worried it was going to turn out broccoli paint on their ceiling.
