The Ninja Foodi 7-in-1 Multi-Cooker 6L OP300UK is our pick as the best premium pressure cookers. Its multiple cooking options, easy to navigate control panel and quick and intuitive features make it well worth worth stretching the budget on this large and versatile multi-cooker.
The Foodi's functions don't come cheap — the appliance retails for $249.99. Is it worth it, though? If you're going to use it regularly, the consensus seems to be yes. If you are big into multi cooking and air frying, it's definitely beneficial to have just the one appliance that does everything you need.
Press DEHYDRATE, set temperature to 155°F, and set time to 7 hours. Select START/STOP to begin. Jerky will be pliable and soft after 5 hours, continue cooking for up to 7 hours if crispier jerky is desired. When cooking is complete, remove dehydrating rack or Cook & Crisp Layered Insert from pot.
There are several differences between the new Ninja Foodi Deluxe and the original Ninja Foodi. The new Deluxe is narrower than the original version and doesn't use as much countertop space. Also, The new version is sleek, designed with stainless steel and matte black finishes.
FD401 and FD402 are from the same series and they have the same characteristics. The only difference is that the FD402 includes a set of silicone mitts.
Best answer: The Ninja Foodi comes in two sizes: a 6.5qt and an 8qt. We'd recommend going large with the eight quart-er. Whether you're a roomie who shares the cooking duties, a couple who likes entertaining, or a family with lots of hungry mouths to feed, it's a handy bit of kitchen kit.
Essentially, Ninja has three pressure cookers that are directly comparable to Instant Pots: The 7-in-1 Ninja Foodi, the 11-in-1 Ninja Foodi Pro, and the 9-in-1 Ninja Foodi XL. The first two are only 6-quart and the third is 8-quart. The Pro Pressure Cooker is also different than the Pro 5-in-1 Indoor Grill.
Take the pressure lid of and quickly put the airfry lid down. Leave it closed for at least 5 mins so that it steam cleans the grill area. Open the lid and wipe the grill lid with a damp cloth and then dry with kitchen towels or microfiber cloth. Your Ninja Foodi will be easy to clean and smell fresh.

5 Best Fruits to Dehydrate at Home
- Cantaloupe. #1 on my list is cantaloupe!

Place fruit in dehydrator trays or air fryer racks. If using the Dehydrator, dehydrate at 130°F for 8 hours. If using the Air Fryer Oven, use the dehydrate setting and dehydrate at 130°F for 4 hours.
It is possible to use an air fryer as a dehydrator as it functions in a similar way by evenly distributing air. Firstly, your air fryer needs to have a low heat setting. Any higher than 45℃ and the food will start to cook rather than dehydrate which doesn't preserve it.
These are the best air fryers we tested ranked, in order:
- Philips Premium Airfryer XXL.
- Cosori Air Fryer Max XL 5.8-Quart.
- Cuisinart Compact AirFryer.
- Cuisinart AirFryer Toaster Oven.
- Dash Deluxe 6-Quart.
- Ninja Air Fryer.
- Ninja Foodi.
- Dash Compact.
The top section of an air fryer holds a heating mechanism and fan. You place the food in a fryer-style basket and when you turn it on, hot air rushes down and around the food. This rapid circulation makes the food crisp—much like deep-frying, but without the oil.
Cooked bacon works well in a dehydrator and makes a protein-packed snack, salad topping or soup ingredient. Dehydrated bacon is also a good item to pack for extended hikes or camping trips. Look for a dehydrator at home supply stores.
