What is a Ninja Foodi?
This is a way to pressure cook AND make easy air fryer recipes so then you can air fry everything I tell you!!! My husband came home with this baby right when it came on the market. He knows my love for multi function machines and was grinning ear to ear when we walked into the door…
I thought “why” because I already had a pressure cooker, but my mind was blown after I used it a few times. I’ve got to be honest though, I didn’t want to learn something totally new so I had to figure out how to convert recipes to Ninja Foodi from Instant Pot. The first question was:
Are Instant Pot and Ninja Foodi recipes the same?
When it comes to pressure cooking the answer is a resounding YES! That means you can use Instant Pot recipes for Ninja Foodi the same way. EXCEPT that you now have an added feature that will crisp your food when it is done cooking if you want to use that step.

Top 10 Ninja Foodie Recipes
The air fryer benefits far outweigh deep frying but you still get the same great crunchy outside you love. Especially if you live in an area of the country that snows, this comes in handy for cooking inside. You can cook chicken, pork, beef, vegetables, and all sorts of dessert recipes in this pot too.
Yes you can pressure cook with it too but being able to have both handy functions in one work hand in hand. So like when you cook for favorite pot full of spaghetti you can then melt some cheese on the top before serving. Not just melt it but make it a nice golden brown too.
Same goes with things like meat. Cook so the middle is nice and tender but then it is so nice to have some texture on the outside right?? That is why you would normally sear it but no need for another pan here. Now just close the attached lid and get the same crisp all the way around. Now let’s get started, we have a lot of Foodi recipes for you to try over the next few months below!
Free Ninja Foodi Cookbook
Feel free to print out my free Ninja Foodi cookbook here. I also share a VERY helpful printable here that you must have: air fryer cooking times chart.
Keep that and our Ninja Foodi cook times free printable on your fridge so you can cook just about anything.
Can you cook an entire meal in the Ninja Foodi?
Yes you can!! From pressure cooking meat to super tender for your main dish and then choose one of our Ninja Foodi air fryer recipes as a side dish. You can make it all in the same basket, using different lids.
They now have a new version that looks a bit different than you see below. The newest one has just one lid that is attached and does all the things. That is a bit slimmer than this model which is nice as well. I will say that you do not have to buy it if you already have the older style.
I still have the original model from when it first came out and have made all of the air crisp and pressure cooker recipes you see here below. Seriously I just can’t justify paying another couple hundred dollars since my pot works just fine. If you want the newest and greatest then by all means go right ahead. 😉
Where can I find easy Ninja Foodi Recipes?
Join my Ninja Foodi food Recipes Facebook group first! There not only I but people from around the world share how they make dishes, instructions with pictures and all. You can use anything with air fryer, pressure cooker or Instant Pot in the title too. Use the lid attached to air crisp and the one that isn’t attached for the latter 2.
Both of them have the same functions so there is no need to spend the extra money to replace what you have. It would just be a matter of saving some space and the look is a bit prettier if I am honest. Decide for yourself but don’t feel like it would make a difference when cooking.
With either you can make ALL THE THINGS my friends. I have tried to provide you lots of resources if you just want to use one of the functions at a time, or both to make a one pot meal. I have individual items like how to cook broccoli, roundups with all of my beef dishes let’s say and seasonal like July Ninja Foodi recipes for summertime.
Wondering if you need the new Ninja Foodi Grill?? How about Ninja Foodi Dual Zone Air Fryer? Here are my reviews!!
Ninja Foodi One Pot Meal Recipes
We will start with our roundup of Ninja Foodi chicken recipes first, like Ninja Foodi chicken pot pie which uses both functions to make a meal you grew up with but in a deconstructed easier manner. NO oven required to get it all done, and not heat up your house in the process.
- Then bread thin breasts to make a batch air fryer chicken cutlets served with dips.

- If you want to find roundups for other categories hover over the NF category in the menu and others like Ninja Foodi pork recipes, beef, etc….
You really can use what you have on hand, and your favorite flavors to make all the things! I like to start with meats that need to be cooked + what is in my pantry and go from there. No need to travel to the store or spend more money if you already have something on hand. I hate wasting food so remember that.
Chicken Recipes
One night I threw together some marinated chicken in air fryer and it was delish. Then made air fryer popcorn chicken for the kids and we were hooked. Now if you’re forgetful you can always make our Ninja Food frozen chicken recipe here.
If you’re looking for keto or low carb air fryer recipes we have many of those too like air fryer chicken tenders no breading and many more! How to cook chicken in an air fryer and tips to reheat chicken wings in Ninja Foodi are here for your reference as well.

If you hate to waste food like me we also have a list of leftover chicken recipes here. Some use raw pieces and others can use shredded or diced cooked pieces. For any and all of them if it calls for fresh and to saute at the beginning, just skip that step since yours is already to temp.
What is a Ninja Cooker?
It’s a pressure cooker and air fryer which is great because then you have the choice of whether you want your Ninja Foodi Broccoli tender or crispy on the outside that day.
I’ve already created a TON of easy pressure cooker recipes. All of these can be used in your Foodi using the pressure cooker function. It’s not just for fresh and/or defrosted proteins though. Cooking frozen meat has never been easier in this thing too!
Then, when my husband came home with this new pot it was time to create lots in this beauty. We’ve been on a mission lately to create lots of easy dishes to enjoy and share with all of you lately! From reheating chicken tenders in air fryer to cooking it from fresh or frozen we have it all.
BUT…..First we have to answer a few questions like starting with can you put parchment paper in a Ninja Foodi? You may be hesitant and unsure at first so we discuss that very thing in this post above.
How do you use a Ninja Foodi?
The above photo is what it looks like with the pressure cooker lid on and the air fryer lid lifted up. Yes there are TWO lids on the Ninja Foodi Tendercrisp Pressure Cooker! One is for pressure cooking and the other is to air crisp so you can make air fryer bbq chicken wings and so much more.
Then when you’re ready to use the Ninja 4 in 1 cooking system as an air fryer to crisp your food you use the lid that is attached. You can see it closed above. Is Ninja Foodi a slow cooker? Yes, it has that function too! (I typically just use the 2 main ones though)
- These few Ninja Foodi accessories are helpful to have too so you can make a ton of pressure cooker kids recipes and more.
What can the Ninja Foodi do?
Well for one thing did you know you could cook from frozen with this thing?? That is right, if you are forgetful like me and sometimes realize right before dinner that the meat you need is still rock solid? Use our tips like how to cook Ninja Foodi frozen ground turkey to save the day!

And we have a bunch of easy and healthy Ninja Foodi recipes of all kinds you can try.
Ninja AirFryer
The great thing about these main two functions is you can use them individually or one after the other. Like when you pressure cook corned beef, then air fry it’s great. Making just air fryer corned beef gives you a totally different texture. Try both and figure our your fave.
- Air fry exists on their “regular” model but this does more than that
- Broil
- Saute
- Slow cook
- Bake
- like our pressure cooker breakfast bundt cake

Ninja Foodi Pressure Cooker Instructions
If you’re wondering how long does a pressure cooker take to preheat so you can prepare things in a timely manner, we answered that in this article. Here’s how to use the pressure cooker function:
- Use the included pressure cooker lid (not the one attached to the unit)
- Place your food into the inner pot
- Follow instructions in recipe. You can even cook frozen stew meat in Ninja Foodi!
Or put food into the air fryer basket. It’s good for meats so drippings drip away from food and into the inner pot.
- Push the power on button (lower right – circle with a small line in the middle)
- Put lid on, not the one that is attached.
Move top steam valve to “seal” now.
How do you use a Ninja Foodi??
If you want to make a one pot meal like our pressure cooker chicken thighs and rice dish you’ll want to use the lid that is NOT attached. This will make grains fluffy and you’ll never need a rice cooker again after this.
- Push the pressure button at the front.
- Press + or – above the Temp. button to adjust to High or Low
- Adjust Time needed to cook your Ninja Foodi recipe (use – or + to adjust)
- Hit the Start button
- Of course for cook times follow your recipe, this Ninja Foodi cheesy chicken and rice is a great one to start with.
Pot will take a bit of time to reach pressure. Then will count down the number of minutes until it reaches 0. If you’re just starting, begin with something simple like Ninja Foodi pork tacos and lots more.
Ninja Foodi Air Fryer
How to use the Ninja Foodi air fryer function to cook food from raw, frozen, or just want to crisp skin on your boiled chicken thighs is the same.
- Put the air fryer basket inside
- Decide whether you want to add breading like our air fryer green beans, or just toss spray with olive oil and add sauce later like our air fryer chicken leg quarters.
- Place food inside basket
- Or use air fryer grill pan
Close the attached crisping lid at this time.

Press start at this time.
