Did you just get your new multi function pressure cooker that includes an air fryer? Now you're now wondering how to use the fabulous Ninja cooking system. Well, we have instructions for you plus lots of easy Ninja Foodi recipes for you now! (originally published 1/19, affiliate links present)

Best Ninja Foodi Recipes

YES we are now obsessed with easy air fryer recipes, and just want to 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.

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!

Here are a few resources to start with:

  • How much is the Ninja Foodi?
  • You can grab a paperback Foodi cookbook here. 😉
  • And print out my free Ninja Foodi cookbook here.

I share a VERY helpful printable here that you must have: air fryer cooking times chart. Keep in on your fridge so you can cook just about anything.

Sign up for my free newsletter so you can get new recipes via. email too!

Ninja Recipes

That's right! They're easy to put on, come in dozens of patterns and colors so you can match your kitchen decor perfectly! I bought a white one with black polka dots because I have Farmhouse decor.

It was quite easy to apply on all sides and was prettier when sitting on my countertop to match my other countertop appliances.

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. 😉

Ninja Pot

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.

Foodi Ninja Recipes

We will start with our roundup of Ninja Foodi chicken recipes first, like Ninja Foodi chicken pot pie, air fryer chicken cutlets and a few Ninja Foodi chicken soup recipes too. We share how to reheat chicken in Ninja Foodi here.

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.

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.

Foodie Ninja

Since I'm forgetful I even did an entire roundup on how to cook frozen chicken in your machine. Always helpful when you've had one of those days.

If you hate to waste food like me we also have a list of Ninja Foodi 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! You can cook side dishes, vegetables, meat, or both of them together as in our Ninja Foodi chicken and vegetables recipe here.

  • Everyone loves our Ninja Foodi crack chicken recipe too! For something a bit simpler, with less add ins, give this air fryer fried chicken thighs dish. It's not really fried. 😉

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 Ninja Foodi it was time to create lots in this beauty. We've been on a mission lately to create lots of easy Ninja recipes to enjoy and share with all of you lately! From reheating chicken tenders in Ninja Foodi to cooking it from fresh or frozen we have it all.

ninja cooking system recipes

BUT…..First we have to answer the question:

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 Ninja Foodi kids recipes and more.

Ninja Foodi Pressure Cooker Instructions

If you're wondering how long does Ninja Foodi 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 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.

ninja multi cooker

How do you use a Ninja Foodi??

If you want to make a one pot meal like our 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, this Ninja Foodi Cookbook for beginners has tons of easy meal ideas. Like Ninja Foodi pork tacos and lots more.

Ninja Foodi Air Fryer

How to use the Ninja Foodi air fryer function

  • Place food inside basket
    • Or use air fryer grill pan

Close the attached crisping lid at this time.

  • Turn the machine on
