@natasha_natasha@sproinky easy to clean, easy to use. I use mine mostly as a pressure cooker and an air fryer. For the pressure cooker settings, just follow instructions on any instant pot recipes you find. It even has a sensor to keep you from running it with the wrong lid for your chosen cooking setting.
@natasha_natasha I’ve used it for chicken breast, whole chickens, beef stew pieces, bbq shrimp etc. It does great for cutting down on cooking times and making tougher cuts more tender. They’ve got a good recipe book you can follow until you start to branch out and make your own recipes or find them online.
The best has been for short ribs, 40 minutes pressure cooked with beef broth and red wine, onions & garlic everything seasoned. Then you let it vent for 10 minutes and then air crisp for 5. It’s pretty great and turns a 3 hour dish into about half that. Dishwasher safe too.
It’s pretty big and has a second lid for pressure cooking (the air crisp one flips up) but a good addition to the kitchen if you have space for it.
@natasha_natasha@sproinky I use mine weekly for pulled pork and my son uses it daily for whatever frozen fried thing he wants (usually fries and egg rolls). It’s great for leftover pizza too. There is a roast chicken recipe in the manual that uses the pressure cooker than the air fryer to brown the chicken. It’s good too.
@natasha_natasha@sproinky I use mine more than any appliance other than the coffee maker. And I just sent one to a friend! Would have been a titch less expensive this week, but oh well.
@natasha_natasha@sproinky For pulled pork I use pork loin because I’m lazy and just pressure cook it. I often use a big chunk of frozen pork and cook it longer- works great. If I’m doing pork tenderloin I air fry it- comes out nice and crispy.
@natasha_natasha One thing nobody mentioned here is that it’s not only good for meats, it’s terrific for cooking beans! Really fast and you don’t have to pre-soak them.
Also good for grains. And if you don’t need to use what you’ve cooked immediately, it will keep it warm for 12 hours!
@Kyeh@natasha_natasha@sammydog01 I have one waiting to be unboxed. The hope is that it will render the crock pot, air fryer, and instant pot surplus to requirements. We shall see.
I just contacted RQA about what is going on with this recall… Original email said we would hear back 5 biz days after submitting. Jackie said they were falling behind with all the submissions and we should get an email within another week and then another email later with details on shipping/tracking.
@fjp999 (Well, don’t tell them, but I’m just gonna keep using it until the new one comes and not do anything differently than I have for the past 6 years …)
@Kyeh I am not tattling as I am doing the same thing! I only use this one for pressure cooking rice maybe twice a month (without any issues) but will keep a safe distance eye on it from now on!
The Ninja Foodi OP300 Series Multi-Function Pressure Cooker risks burning users because the lid can be opened during use, potentially “causing hot contents to escape,” according to the release
Well, I have never & would never try to open the lid while it’s cooking, so I think I’m safe. But it’s good to replace it just the same, in case I have some brainfreeze moment one day …
@fjp999 I filled out the online form on May 2nd and my new lid is scheduled to arrive tomorrow, May 15th. Fast enough for me. (It took almost two years to get a replacement Philips CPAP machine.)
@fjp999@Kyeh I got a submission received email on May 2nd then submission approved and replacement shipped emails on May 7th. It took a few days for UPS to show that the package had been received.
@fjp999@Kyeh I got mine yesterday. It looks pretty much the same except for adding another (safety?) vent valve next to the one you adjust. There’s also some sort of hook-like thing along the inside edge that I don’t think was there in the old one.
@ItalianScallion@Kyeh I was hoping it would be like my InstantPot Pro. Love that ones safety vent… it auto locks to Pressurize and when you want to release there is a little switch, far away from the vent, you move to Release.
@fjp999@ItalianScallion I wonder if it’s only some of them that are defective? Because I’ve had times when the pressure seems to be all released, the red button is down, and the pot still won’t open yet. So maybe they’re not all dangerous, but just to be sure they’re replacing all of them?
@ItalianScallion@Kyeh I have read on reddit, more than a few times, where the pressure on any of these brands has been released but the owner cant get the lids open no matter what. Even after days of waiting the lids are stuck! The manufacturer responds to junk them!

This thing is dope, bought it last year around Xmas
@sproinky Is it hard to use or is it pretty user-friendly? What do you use it for most often? Is it easy to clean?

@natasha_natasha @sammydog01 do you use pork shoulder for the pork? Air crisp after?

Thank you all so much for responding to my questions and giving me ideas for how to use this awesome thing!!
POPSOCKETS! SPA KITS! POLLY POCKETS! AWESOME!

@Kyeh @natasha_natasha I hard boiled a bunch of eggs in mine yesterday. It’s also a pretty good rice cooker- I use the pot in pot method.
@natasha_natasha
@sammydog01 - you’ve also used yours as a food dehydrator, haven’t you? How is it for that?
@Kyeh @natasha_natasha It took forever but worked.
@Kyeh @natasha_natasha @sammydog01 I have one waiting to be unboxed. The hope is that it will render the crock pot, air fryer, and instant pot surplus to requirements. We shall see.
@natasha_natasha @sammydog01 @werehatrack It’s a little small as an air fryer, but it definitely makes the other two redundant.
There is a recall on the pressure lid. Apparently it can be opened while under pressure. https://www.rqa-inc.com/client/SharkNinja/SubForm/index.html#header-form
@Stumpy91 Thank you!
I just contacted RQA about what is going on with this recall… Original email said we would hear back 5 biz days after submitting.

Their tel# is 1-888-370-1733
@fjp999 Thanks for the update - I was wondering about it.
@Kyeh Welcome.
They tell us to throw away the old lid and I am betting we dont get anything for a month!
/giphy what to do?
@fjp999
(Well, don’t tell them, but I’m just gonna keep using it until the new one comes and not do anything differently than I have for the past 6 years …)
@Kyeh I am not tattling as I am doing the same thing! I only use this one for pressure cooking rice maybe twice a month (without any issues) but will keep a safe distance eye on it from now on!
@fjp999 Yeah - The complaint, evidently, is that
Well, I have never & would never try to open the lid while it’s cooking, so I think I’m safe. But it’s good to replace it just the same, in case I have some brainfreeze moment one day …

@fjp999 @ItalianScallion You must have gotten in ahead just of the rush - I did it on May 5th, and I got an acknowledgment but nothing since.
@fjp999 @Kyeh I got a submission received email on May 2nd then submission approved and replacement shipped emails on May 7th. It took a few days for UPS to show that the package had been received.
@fjp999 I finally got an email saying my new lid will be shipped in the next 5 business days.
@ItalianScallion, have you gotten yours yet?
@ItalianScallion @Kyeh I got the same email… seems like we are on the same schedule.
@fjp999 @Kyeh I got mine yesterday. It looks pretty much the same except for adding another (safety?) vent valve next to the one you adjust. There’s also some sort of hook-like thing along the inside edge that I don’t think was there in the old one.
@fjp999 @ItalianScallion Interesting - maybe the hook latches it when it’s pressurized?

Oh, that’s bad …
