MC1101 Foodi Everyday Possible Cooker Pro, 8-in-1 Versatility, One-Pot Faster Cooking Replaces 10 Tools, Family-Sized Capacity with Adjustable Temp Control, 6.5 quarts, Midnight Blue

Purchased this a couple of months ago and absolutely love it. The Ninja Foodi has quickly become one of my most-used kitchen appliances. It heats evenly, is easy to use, and the multiple cooking functions make it incredibly versatile. I’ve used it for slow cooking, sautéing, and one-pot meals, and everything turns out great. Cleanup is easy and it feels very well made. If you’re on the fence, I highly recommend it.

Versatile and you can make a lot of different things, even sear and roast a chicken (there’s a separate rack to place at bottom for that)- easy clean up also!

mom loved it, cooked a decent sized roast in 3 hours, its got value for money considering its price. its a good size which makes it good for cooking alot of stuff, it feels like it has solid durability... not that im planning on dropping it or anything

I’m a single senior who hardly ever cooked as I had no patience to deal with standing over a hot stove or washing multiple pots and pans. When I saw this Foodi a year ago, I thought, what? , all I have to do is put the food in the pot and push a button?, sounds good to me, count I’m in. Well, since then, I’m turning into a chef cooking up a storm, everything from chilli to soups. I absolutely love this cooker. Now, I”m cooking healthy meals all the time. I would have loved if there was a baking function on it like the larger Foodi unit has but I opted for this unit because of its smaller size. I had one issue, the handle on the lid got extremely hot. I quickly rectify it by purchasing the Goldlion silicone handles for $12 on Amazon which perfectly fit over the Ninja Foodi handles. The lid now stays cool to touch. So if you decide to purchase the Ninja foodi, I would suggest investing in the silicone handles as well, Bottom line, the Ninja Foodi works perfectly. It’s easy to use, saves time and simplifies cooking. I highly recommend!

When the Ninja Foodi PossibleCooker PRO 8.5 (MC1001) arrived on my counter, it instantly replaced three other appliances. This isn't just an upgrade from a standard slow cooker—it’s a revolutionary piece of equipment that truly earns the "PRO" in its name. It manages to combine the best parts of a Dutch oven, a traditional crockpot, and a high-performance burner into one elegant, non-stick vessel. What makes this model a kitchen hero? First, the 8.5-quart capacity and rectangular shape. This is a game-changer for anyone who cooks large meals, roasts, or racks of ribs. Unlike round slow cookers that force everything into a pile, the elongated shape accommodates a full chicken or a large pork shoulder perfectly, ensuring even cooking and better browning. Second, the "PossibleCooker" function is the most significant selling point. I can finally sear and sauté ingredients right in the pot before hitting the slow-cook button. No more dirtying a separate pan to brown the onions or sear the beef short ribs! This step, which is crucial for deep flavor development, is now seamless and contained. I build the entire flavor base for my stews, braises, and chilies in one go, locking in those savory Maillard reaction flavors before the slow simmer begins. Finally, the pot itself is a dream. It’s significantly lighter than the stoneware crocks of old, making it much easier to lift, serve from, and clean. The non-stick coating is robust, and everything—from sticky caramelizing sugars to burnt cheese—wipes away effortlessly. If you have a busy family, meal prep, or just appreciate appliances that make high-quality cooking simpler, the Ninja Foodi PossibleCooker PRO 8.5 is an absolute must-have. It’s an investment in efficiency and delicious, one-pot meals.

I finally retired my old crockpot with this new Ninja Possible Cooker 12 in 1. I didn't realize how old my previous crockpot was until I tried cooking in the Ninja. The Ninja was easy to set up and use. It cooked the food in half the time my old crockpot use to do this. And it is a much larger size than my old cooker. I thought the absence of a lid lock would be an issue but it didn't prove to be a problem. And while its inner cooker is not as heavy duty as my crockpot, it still performed well and will be perfect for the various uses I have in mind for my family's meals. I look forward to experimenting with this new cooker, including its sous vide function.

UPDATE - After using this crockpot for several months, I need to update this review to be honest. I'm taking a star off. Beware, the high setting puts the unit into a constant high boil, which I would not consider appropriate to a slow cooker, as I would never leave the house with this unit on high. Everything else I wrote in the original review remains true, and I use this a lot. But I had to end up buying a second crock pot for when I want to slow cook on a high setting. Since I wanted one unit that could do everything, that disappointed me. ORIGINAL REVIEW This cooker has exceeded my expectations. I just built a tiny house. It has a full kitchen, except code does not permit a stove. I spent a lot of time reading reviews of cooking appliances. A bit over 10 years ago I bought a searing Ninja slow cooker. It was okay, but took so long to saute/sear that I usually used a separate frying pan. Not so with this newer technology. It sears quickly and evenly. A great benefit when you don't have a stove top. And much better than using a plug-in burner and pan, due to its speed of getting to temperature and the eveness of cooking. I have used it for frying, slow cooking and braising. High on slow cooking gives you a nice rolling simmer. Low on slow cooking is truly low. I appreciate both. I have made rice in it following the instructions provided. And I use it to make pasta. All work perfectly. My only regret is I purchsed an electric skillet, which I totally don't need. This Ninja does it all. I suggest taking the time to read the instruction booklet. I would not have known to get it to temperature before adding food. It has a great little alarm that goes off to let you know when it is time to add the food. This was a great purchase!

It’s not useful 120Volts appliance isn’t anymore useful in the country where I live and the plug is very obsolete ( 2-pin ) and not heavy duty even the cord and the appliance is 1400 watts

Es muy fácil usarla llego antes

This is a beautiful electric pot, it works perfect i use it almost every day , works great

Me vino con un rayón, aparte de la limpieza como lo muestra en el instructivo tengo que cuidar de no darle seguimiento a ese rayón para que no se extienda?, y mi dinero invertido donde queda su calidad?

El producto fue utilizado una sola vez siguiendo las instrucciones. Tras el primer uso, haciendo caldo de huesos, en lento cocimiento, el revestimiento interior (antiadherente) de la olla extraíble (la negra) y la parte interior de la base (la gris) presentaron un desgaste severo, (el cual se aprecia en las manchas claras dentro de la olla negra y la mancha naranja-marrón en la olla gris), resultando inaceptable para un producto nuevo y de “calidad” que garantiza la marca. Me inclino a que sea un defecto de fabricación en el revestimiento o la capa antiadherente, tomando en cuenta que tengo varios productos ninja que han cumplido cada expectativa, es lamentable que este producto haya salido defectuoso.
