If you want to see more information about the Ninja Foodi Deluxe, the Instant Pot Duo Crisp, Emeril's Pressure Air Fryer and Crockpot Express Crisp watch this video ruclips.net/video/A2DqGyH7PnA/видео.html. They are all 8 quart combination pressure cooker air fryers but each of them is a little different.
Excellent video! To clean my Instant Pot, I simply added a little water and pressure cooked for 5 minutes & voila! It cleaned easily. That was after cooking BBQ ribs!
Great comparison video! Great to know either the Foodi Deluxe or the Instant Pot Duo Crisp perform equally, so it’s up to one’s individual preference. Many people prefer a stainless inner pot because they don’t want a nonstick coating or an attached lid. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Sandra. You are exactly right! A lot of people prefer stainless steel to aluminum and don't want nonstick coatings at all. I try to show as much information about these products so my viewers can choose the best appliance for them. Thank you so much for watching!
You have the best planned and prepared videos on line!. No mistakes.You don't stumble around. You have every thing with in reach and we can see everything you do easily. Thank you for really having the viewers in mind at all time. Your videos are 100% watchable and the comparisons are super. You get an A+ for your videos. Thank you for not having stupid musicring I g in the back ground as well.
For the Instant Pot Duo Crisp, its not recommended to cook chickens in that crisper basket, that is why there was less room. You need to use the trivox thank comes with it. It allows the chicken to lay more natural.
Thanks so much for the reviews, I have an Instant Pot because I prefer stainless steel pots, but I can see why you like the wider inset pot Using Soft Scrub cleanser and a stainless steel scouring pad does a great job of cleaning the stainless steel pot.
The problem I see happening with the non stick coating is that it will start flaking or just not be non stick anymore fairly quickly. I would prefer the stainless myself even with a little extra cleaning
I was having the same issue with cleaning my Instant Pot, until someone told me about using Barkeeper’s Friend. I happened to have some on-hand and believe me when I tell you that it will easily get that interior pot cleaner and shinier than it was coming out of the box. It will look like a mirror, and it cleans a whole lot easier.
Bar keepers friend cleans the liner of the instapot very easily. My dishwasher (daughter) would likely scrub and scratch the coated one. Think I just made my decision!
Me too. The Ninja Foodie is much more expensive but I'm thinking about returning my Instant Pot for the NF. It's great how it's an air fryer and a pressure cooker, all in one.
The only thing that stop me from buying a ninja was the fact that the basket is made of aluminum. So I got me the big size instapot and I'm very happy with it. Thank you for sharing this video!
Great review - very well organized video, very well summarized and to the point. So many others drag out for 20-30-40 minutes. The cleanup was very helpful - never saw that in any other comparison. Finally, you let us know your preference. For anybody looking for help with deciding which of these to buy, there is little that is more frustrating than spending the aforementioned 20-30-40 minutes listening to endless babble, only to have the presenter say in the last ten seconds that they like them both and they're basically the same.
I also prefer the Ninja Foodi! I had three instant pot electrical issues. Three returns within 5 months..so, I got the foodi. And have had just ONE for years now.
I use Bar Keepers Friend for all my stainless cookware. It makes things so much easier to clean. You can get it in most supermarkets. Excellent review. Thanks.
I have the Ninja Foodi and purchased a stainless steel insert for it. I like having the choice. I also have 2 sizes of Instant Pots and find I use my Ninja more. This was a great comparison video.
Since I'm still on the fence on which one to get (the Ninja seems to be my favorite from checking reviews etc so far), I would like to ask, which insert exactly did you buy? Or can I even buy a stainless steel pot that fits the Ninja?
You added an element I had not yet seen - the cleaning! I have to admit I was very curious about that, thinking just how much cleaning would I have to do!! So, thank you for that! Your chickens looked delicious, thanks for sharing!
Nice clear and concise comparison. Both chickens looked delicious but the clean up was the real deciding factor in favor of the Ninja. You have a very pleasant voice too!
The advantage of the stainless steal pot is that you can go and scrub the heck out of it if needed. As far as I know there is also a non stick version as addon for the Instant Pot.
Thats true, but I don't want to scrub pans if I can avoid it. Instant Pot does make a non stick pot but it is more narrow than the Ninja Foodi Pot. I like the wide surface area to cut down on th batches of food I cook. Thanks for watching!
This was an Absolutely great review! You discussed things I would not have thought about, such as how many button commands does it take to start the cooking process, which baskets they have, lid attachments, and the clean up process! Even comparing the wider basket to the taller deeper basket was great info. Thanks!
Great video. We just got the 8qt Instant Pot. Have cooked the best chicken and ribs I've ever had on first try. I'm no cook either. These things are amazing. First go at beef jerky was killer also.
This is a great review and I love your voice. Have you ever thought of doing voice acting or read alouds? Seriously, you could read me the dictionary and I'd listen!
I have an off brand electric pressure cooker with a non-stick liner. After about 6 months it started to peel off. I've since purchased the Instant Pot Duo Crisp and I prefer the stainless steel liner now. I've not had any issues cleaning it with hot water and a non-scratch scrub pad (blue ones). I've never had a non-stick pot that didn't eventually peel so I'm interested if any of the Ninja Foodi's have. As far as the hinged airfry lid on the Ninja vs the removable Duo Crisp - I like it removable and even though I don't have the Ninja I would probably hate it always hanging there in the air in the way. Just my personal preference, but I think I made the correct purchase for me. Thanks for your video!
Hi there sweetsavant I am from Canada , great side by side video and you do it so well . I bought the ISP but send it back and got NJF XL Deluxe 8 Qt. Your comparison made me make the right decision. Thank you , you are awesome.
Thank you so much for showing how big a chicken I could get into either of these machines! I’ve been trying to get that information from the IP company for several weeks. Very good information and great demonstration :).
I live in a motorhome so space is an issue. I'm in texas so not running the oven is a Godsend. Due to cabinet space restrictions I'm going with the ninja. I will mostly use it for chili, soups, gumbo, beans, type of food and occasionally the air fryer. Steaks, ribs and whole roasted chicken I mosty do out on the grill anyway. Thank you for the thorough review.
I have the InstantPot Duo 60 and the Air Fry lid. Love them. However I have been thinking about Switching to the Nina Foodi Deluxe because of the larger (and wider) capacity and the attached air fry lid. I also like standard cooking pot is non-stick coated. I AGREE the InStantPot's stainless pot is annoying to clean and after the first use no longer looked brand new (I purchased an InstantPot not stick pot made by them and the air fry lid acts up when trying to take it off). Your video has helped me decide to Purchase the Ninja Foodi Deluxe for sure. Thank you and I am a new subscriber.
Merry Christmas ....a tip on non abrasive cleaning . ..pour standard table salt into the instapot metal bowl and pour washing-up liquid over the salt. .it acts as a low abrasive whilst the washing up liquid does its magic.....works amazing for ceramic mug tea / coffee stains....not sure about more delicate China tea cups
Great review but I am still torn on what to do. My partner dropped the lid to Pressure Cooker XL, and it slightly bent it to the point that it no longer will come up to pressure. I have a Cooks Essential air fryer from QVC which is now about 4 years old. I was hoping to replace both with 1 unit to save space, but the Ninja Express Foodi has a very large footprint. I also would never be able to use it on the counter because of how the lip flips up. I also don't like how the Instapot Duo Crips air fryer lid is so big. My Cooks Essential air fryer has a drawer type pot that just pulls out and I really like that style. I guess I will be just buying a new air fryer and get a separate Instapot pressure cooker.
I thought the foodi would be too big and difficult to deal with...but being hinged has turned out to be quite helpful! And that fact that it can bake, broil, dehydrate, sear, sautee, pressure cook, steam, air crisp and make yogurt is just wild. Everything I have tried so far has been easier than ever to make but with much better results...my poor oven may feel neglected...but the foodi just works better, faster, and easier.
Another question has anyone including yourself used the ninja foodi for long time now and how is the non.stick coating lasting is it as good as new or is it peeling this is the most important thing in my opinion. If non.stick coating doesn't last it can't be the best buy. If doesn't last I wish the ninja foodi did a stainless steel versions.
I was looking for a comparison between the two, and I got 1 minute into the video and my decision was made...Why in the world would Ninja put an aluminum inner pot in their high end product? I would NEVER cook anything in or on aluminum
We just got a Ninja like yours. I do prefer stainless steel and ordered one for it as well. That way we have both. I noted several complaints in the reviews on amazon about the instapot taking a long time to build up cooking pressure (20 minutes) , but maybe that was a cheaper model. It was a factor in not getting it. They were comparing it to this Ninja foodi delux8, though and I would hope they'd have used a similar model and not a cheap one to compare. It seems in retrospect the attached lid can be a bit of a problem with upper cabinets not allowing it to open and having to place it elsewhere to use, or pull it forward on the counter, but I do like the idea it won't get lost (which was a part of why I got it) as husband is good at stashing things where we can't find them lol. The wider space is a plus too. Seems like it would allow for faster cooking with more surface area and shallower amount to heat up. Also more surface area crisped if you want to crisp. I also like your voice, cadence and that you don't drag out the review with extraneous information not pertinent, like the history of pressure cooking. That can be an extra video lol
The Ninja Foodi Deluxe now has a stainless steel pot available on Amazon. Honestly, I prefer the Foodi Deluxe but held off on buying it for that reason.
You cooked the chickens under pressure for 40 minutes? That seems like a really long time. I just got my Foodi & cooked a 7lb chicken for 23 minutes under high pressure before air frying & it was perfect.
Jesse B I just cooked my first 6 pound chicken in my new Ninja 8qt. I followed the directions and did 40 minutes pressure cook and 15 minutes air fry and the breast came out dry. It was disappointing. The dark meat was good but I was wondering about the 40 minutes being too long. I have seen other recipes that don’t pressure cook near as long. Any advice would be appreciated! How long did you air crisp?
@@alibc154 I usually inject my chickens with injectable marinade, I usually get a 7 - 8lb bird. I pressure cook for around 23 - 25 minutes depending on the side. I then brush one side with oil & season then air fry for around 12 minutes, flip, oil & season & air fry again for another 12. Perfect every time & crispy & juicy!!
We all have our things. I am looking into getting one of these kinds of cooking pots. I avoid coated surfaces surfaces and prefer steel or cast iron pans. For the steam release you have to get your fingers much closer with the Ninja than the Instapot. On another review of these kinds of pots, the person got too close to the hot attached lid while taking the pot out. I am leaning towards a model that has handles on the pot insert. I have arthritis in my hands and that will make it easier for me.
Good Morning @sweetsavant I am so surprised to see how crisp yet juicy the chickens turned out in the air fryer. They both looked similar, however, the difficulty of the cleaning would make or break my decision. Awesome!! 😊
That's exactly how I feel! Easy clean up is very important to me. I don't want to spend more time scrubbing pots after cooking dinner! Thanks so much for watching!
Ninja foodi inner pot is hard to get even from the official website in Nederland. Thats why i have switched to instant pot. The coating fell off as well, i didnt feel safe to use ninja anymore.
You need a stainless steel scrubber for stainless steel pots. They wash right up in a flash. I will never cook with aluminium, even if it’s covered with ceramic.
I think the pressure cook feature in Ninja is good but what about taking that chicken after the pressure cook into a Ninja Grill at 500 degrees or air fry at 450 degrees......
interesting the pressure cooker doesn't cook whole chicken any faster than my stand alone air fryer. ceramic pot can chip which isn't dangerous in its self but health risk comes from what metal that coating is on. stainless steel already know risk, none
Hi please tell me if I can make this recipe directly in the inner pot without any insert and since how long do you own the instant pot crisp and if it is still working. Thanks very much for your reply and this really useful video.
You can but it will be a juicy mess and you have to drain juice and put in air fry basket to crisp. I accidentally did that and wouldn’t recommend unless you want stew. Lol...
Nice video I like both but I recommend the stainless steel instant pot over the ceramic nonstick due to peeling over time after cooking at high temperatures
I actually prefer SS pots. When the nonstick starts to flake or scratch you should replace it for health safety reasons. They take more to clean forsure though. Give barkeepers friend a try if you haven't already
I prefer the Instant Pot Duo Crisp because both the lids come off for easier cleaning, moving, and storage. I also prefer the stainless steel cooking pot. Barkeepers Friend will keep it looking shiny as new. FYI most stores sell the 8QT, but you should know that a 6QT version is sold exclusively at Wal-Mart
EXCELLENT video, thank you. I truly prefer the stainless steel insert even if it does sometimes take a few minutes of soaking, it always comes out like new with a scrubby. You can get an aluminium non-stick pot with an Instant Pot too, if preferred.
Good morning @sweetsavant. Love your videos. I was fortunate enough to have both the ip dou crisp and the ninja foodi. And I see we share the likes when it came to the the ninja foodi, the hinge air crisp and the non stick pot. The stainless steel pot in the IP never to me was able to get clean with out the water/food stains embedded into the surface so I gave it away to a family member. They love it though. In my opinion it was too cumbersome for a small kitchen. My 1 question is did u flip the chicken to crisp on back side?
Hi Tye! The easy cleanup of the Ninja Foodi is a big plus for me. I think the IP is a good machine but not the best for me. I did not flip the chicken to crisp the bottom. I'm afraid I'll drop it LOL! Thanks for watching!
Tye, barkeeper's friend cleanser will clean up all you stainless and especially the Instant pot inner pot. My IP stainless comes out great! Give it a try, or let your family member know.
Thank you, I prefer stainless steel to non-stick, non stick is great when new but doesn't have the durability of stainless steel, I think it's worth the extra elbow grease

sweetsavant Great Job!
the instant pot duo crisp makes yogurt on sou vide function i have a recipe for this pinned on my pinterest i have an instant pot duo crisp
save the stock for cooking rice
Excellent video! To clean my Instant Pot, I simply added a little water and pressure cooked for 5 minutes & voila! It cleaned easily. That was after cooking BBQ ribs!
The first thing I think about when bringing something new into my kitchen is how am I going to clean that? Thanks for being so thorough.
Good review. Finally, I get to see someone showing us the washing up afterwards. Always left out and, in my opinion, relevant sometimes! Thank you.
Great comparison video! Great to know either the Foodi Deluxe or the Instant Pot Duo Crisp perform equally, so it’s up to one’s individual preference. Many people prefer a stainless inner pot because they don’t want a nonstick coating or an attached lid. Thanks for sharing.

And no long intro.

When you start to Sautee, and brown your meats, you'll appreciate that Stainless Steel.
The problem I see happening with the non stick coating is that it will start flaking or just not be non stick anymore fairly quickly. I would prefer the stainless myself even with a little extra cleaning
The Instantpot stainless insert is far superior to the Ninja!
I have ceramic cookware and it shows no sign of flaking and is VERY easy to clean.
It's ceramic, it's not teflon. It won't flake off.
Oh
Plus cancer!

BarKeepers friend is magical.
Wish I'd seen this before I ordered the InstantPot. It just arrived today. Thanks for the demo!!

I don’t have one of these yet, so thank you for the in depth review! I’m leaning towards the Ninja Foodi. 😊
Of all the combination pressure cooker air fryers I've tried the Ninja Foodi is my favorite. I've really enjoyed using it .
Looks like they both work equally as well, so I guess price is what I would look at. Bar keepers friend works well on the stainless pots
Thanks so much for watching.
I also prefer the Ninja Foodi! I had three instant pot electrical issues. Three returns within 5 months..so, I got the foodi. And have had just ONE for years now.
Definitely prefer the stainless steel. Nonstick coated aluminum doesn’t last and will scratch over time.
You can get stainless steel cooking pots for the Ninja.
I use Bar Keepers Friend for all my stainless cookware. It makes things so much easier to clean. You can get it in most supermarkets. Excellent review. Thanks.

ElectricDoodie I got the Goldlion on Amazon. It’s been great.
Thank you for taking the time to compare these products for us.
Absolutely was looking at this today trying to decide which one I want to buy in a few months and you are a lifesaver!
Which one you decided to go with
You added an element I had not yet seen - the cleaning! I have to admit I was very curious about that, thinking just how much cleaning would I have to do!! So, thank you for that! Your chickens looked delicious, thanks for sharing!
Thank you for such a detailed comparison. I'm getting a ninja foodi for Xmas so wanted to see something like this.
Nice clear and concise comparison. Both chickens looked delicious but the clean up was the real deciding factor in favor of the Ninja. You have a very pleasant voice too!
I appreciate the part on how well they clean up especially! Thank you! Best wishes!
With the Instant Pot you can place the Stainless pot in the dishwasher for easier cleaning, love the video.
The instant pot also makes yogurt this one just doesn't have the preset. You'd need to set it manually
I saw that the IP Puts out only half the heat out the back vent into your kitchen. NF it was over 300° out the back vent while air frying.
I like the fact that instant pot has stainless steel pot. I think it’s safer. That’s the reason I bought it.
I like the Ninja pros pointed out in the video but the 8qt ninja cost about $100 more, I have to go with the Instant pot.
The advantage of the stainless steal pot is that you can go and scrub the heck out of it if needed. As far as I know there is also a non stick version as addon for the Instant Pot.
Thats true, but I don't want to scrub pans if I can avoid it. Instant Pot does make a non stick pot but it is more narrow than the Ninja Foodi Pot. I like the wide surface area to cut down on th batches of food I cook. Thanks for watching!

Even comparing the wider basket to the taller deeper basket was great info. Thanks!
Thanks for being short and sweet! I clicked on your video first, because all the others are at least twice the time.
I already own the Duo but you have the best rotisserie chicken receive for the on you tube and your voice is very soothing 👍
Great video. We just got the 8qt Instant Pot. Have cooked the best chicken and ribs I've ever had on first try. I'm no cook either. These things are amazing.
First go at beef jerky was killer also.
Thank you!! I’m so torn between the two. The IP is a bit cheaper right now so I might go with it. 😊
Love that you also reviewed the cleaning process! Thanks, great review.
I like how you went through the cleaning as well as the cooking cheers!
This is a great review and I love your voice. Have you ever thought of doing voice acting or read alouds? Seriously, you could read me the dictionary and I'd listen!
WOW, thank you for the compliments! I appreciate your support.
I agree!
Great deal. Just right size for us. Wish we had bought one sooner.
Thorough review. Glad you showed the clean up, that’s a determining factor for me.
I have an off brand electric pressure cooker with a non-stick liner. After about 6 months it started to peel off.

The cleaning sealed the deal. Thank you

My favourite demo lady; your lovely voice and you look so beautiful too ... props from the UK x
Once the non stick surface is scratched, does it leach out toxins like the non stick frying pans do
Easy fix. Don’t use metal utensils and you will not scratch it. Wooden or plastic only
All aluminum and non stick are toxic.
I heard for the instant Pot you can insert the lid into one of the inserts on the side cause there is a hole. This would save counter space
Excellent tutorial. Been looking for a comparison just like this for a long time! Thank you
Nice job! Wonderful narration...slow, precise, informative. Thank you!
Awesome review and comparison. I love your sink!
Merry Christmas ....a tip on non abrasive cleaning . ..pour standard table salt into the instapot metal bowl and pour washing-up liquid over the salt. .it acts as a low abrasive whilst the washing up liquid does its magic.....works amazing for ceramic mug tea / coffee stains....not sure about more delicate China tea cups
This was exactly what I was looking for!! Great video!!!
How do they taste? That’s the question? Lol. Looks pretty easy. Both look beautiful! (The chickens)
I still prefer $5 costco roast chicken.
Wonderful and detailed review! Thank you!!
I hope you do more videos of the instant pot cause I was hoping for that :since u good with cooking :P
WOw this video is fantastic. Thank you for your hard work! It really helped me out
I'm so glad you found the video helpful! Thank you for watching.
Which one is the best ???? I want one.

Good review. Thanks for adding the clean feature.
Thanks for that. Super helpful. A link to the gloves would be helpful also.
Great video, covered all of the bases. This video legit made me feel comfortable. 😂
Another question has anyone including yourself used the ninja foodi for long time now and how is the non.stick coating lasting is it as good as new or is it peeling this is the most important thing in my opinion.

Do you ever feel like you might burn yourself on the attached NF lid? I’m thinking to get the IPDC because of possible burns. Maybe it’s a non issue?
Nice video, so can you dehydrate in either?

Put vinegar in the Instant pot stainless steel insert while soaking for an easier clean up.
Great tip, Cheryl! I'll definitely try that. Thanks so much for watching.
Agree...I use vinegar and Dawn for my ss pots and pans.
So to airfry a chicken it suggests to pressure steam the chicken first from the manual?
Can you just cook the chicken with just the air fryer option? Do you really need to pressure cook the chicken first?
You have to pressure cook
Your voice is angelic
Thank you so much for your kind words!
I was going to comment the same thing! Angelic voice!
We all have our things. I am looking into getting one of these kinds of cooking pots. I avoid coated surfaces surfaces and prefer steel or cast iron pans. For the steam release you have to get your fingers much closer with the Ninja than the Instapot. On another review of these kinds of pots, the person got too close to the hot attached lid while taking the pot out.
I am leaning towards a model that has handles on the pot insert. I have arthritis in my hands and that will make it easier for me.
The air fry basket can be conofigured for two levels with the use of an included divider.
You can use vinegar and soap to clean stainless . It works !
Good Morning @sweetsavant I am so surprised to see how crisp yet juicy the chickens turned out in the air fryer. They both looked similar, however, the difficulty of the cleaning would make or break my decision. Awesome!! 😊
That's exactly how I feel! Easy clean up is very important to me. I don't want to spend more time scrubbing pots after cooking dinner! Thanks so much for watching!
Put some vinegar in your soaking water for an easy clean up.
Ninja foodi inner pot is hard to get even from the official website in Nederland. Thats why i have switched to instant pot. The coating fell off as well, i didnt feel safe to use ninja anymore.
You need a stainless steel scrubber for stainless steel pots. They wash right up in a flash. I will never cook with aluminium, even if it’s covered with ceramic.
I think the pressure cook feature in Ninja is good but what about taking that chicken after the pressure cook into a Ninja Grill at 500 degrees or air fry at 450 degrees......
interesting the pressure cooker doesn't cook whole chicken any faster than my stand alone air fryer. ceramic pot can chip which isn't dangerous in its self but health risk comes from what metal that coating is on. stainless steel already know risk, none
Hi please tell me if I can make this recipe directly in the inner pot without any insert and since how long do you own the instant pot crisp and if it is still working. Thanks very much for your reply and this really useful video.
You can but it will be a juicy mess and you have to drain juice and put in air fry basket to crisp. I accidentally did that and wouldn’t recommend unless you want stew. Lol...
Nice video I like both but I recommend the stainless steel instant pot over the ceramic nonstick due to peeling over time after cooking at high temperatures
I actually prefer SS pots. When the nonstick starts to flake or scratch you should replace it for health safety reasons. They take more to clean forsure though. Give barkeepers friend a try if you haven't already
Perfect video. Loved the cleaning after
Can you do a review on the Ninja Foodi air fryer with the two drawers?
Very good presentation I learned a lot
I prefer the Instant Pot Duo Crisp because both the lids come off for easier cleaning, moving, and storage. I also prefer the stainless steel cooking pot. Barkeepers Friend will keep it looking shiny as new. FYI most stores sell the 8QT, but you should know that a 6QT version is sold exclusively at Wal-Mart
EXCELLENT video, thank you. I truly prefer the stainless steel insert even if it does sometimes take a few minutes of soaking, it always comes out like new with a scrubby. You can get an aluminium non-stick pot with an Instant Pot too, if preferred.
Do you have to put any liquid in the bottom of the pot if you ONLY want to airfry the chicken?
Good morning @sweetsavant. Love your videos. I was fortunate enough to have both the ip dou crisp and the ninja foodi. And I see we share the likes when it came to the the ninja foodi, the hinge air crisp and the non stick pot. The stainless steel pot in the IP never to me was able to get clean with out the water/food stains embedded into the surface so I gave it away to a family member. They love it though. In my opinion it was too cumbersome for a small kitchen. My 1 question is did u flip the chicken to crisp on back side?
Hi Tye! The easy cleanup of the Ninja Foodi is a big plus for me. I think the IP is a good machine but not the best for me. I did not flip the chicken to crisp the bottom. I'm afraid I'll drop it LOL! Thanks for watching!
Tye, barkeeper's friend cleanser will clean up all you stainless and especially the Instant pot inner pot. My IP stainless comes out great! Give it a try, or let your family member know.
Thanks for the detailed review.
Thank you, I prefer stainless steel to non-stick, non stick is great when new but doesn't have the durability of stainless steel, I think it's worth the extra elbow grease
Thank you. Great comparison
