First, we loved our slow cookers more than the members of our families. Then the Instant Pot came around and was all, "Nah uh, honey, this is my kitchen." And now, Ninja is blessing us with the Foodi, a pressure cooker that also air fries, bakes, broils, and roasts with its unique TenderCrisp Technology. Hear that? It's the sound of Instant Pots grumbling.

Inherent appliance rivalry aside, if you love cooking a variety of meals but don't have a ton of time, or if you're just a fan of easy cleanup, the Ninja offers all that and more. For reference, the Ninja Foodi can whip up three pounds of perfectly crispy french fries or a five-pound chicken (with crispy skin!) like it's nothing. You can cook proteins, grains, and veggies of all different textures at the same time. And you can take a food from frozen to crispy in as little as 20 minutes.

Plus, it's not all about the quick weeknight family meals; food blogger and Ninja Kitchen Recipes Curator Kenzie Swanhart uses it for stress-free entertaining as well. She told POPSUGAR: "I use the Foodi as a quick and easy way to make a healthy meal for me and my husband when I get home from work. I love making the teriyaki chicken, broccoli, and rice as a 'takeout fake out' recipe that is ready faster than if I ordered takeout and had it delivered. Each piece of the meal has a different texture but it is all made at once in one pot! I also love to use the Air Crisper feature when entertaining — it's a quick and easy way to make tasty apps and sides!"

We still love our slow cookers and Instant Pots, but there's no denying the sex appeal of the Ninja Foodi (you know you're an adult once you've called a kitchen appliance sexy). Ahead, learn more about the unique pressure cooker and add it to your cart if you're in the market for an all-in-one meal makin' machine (and take a peek at Ninja's Foodi recipe ideas, all of which look positively drool-worthy).
