Ninja PossibleCooker PRO 8.5-qt Multi-Cooker vs CHEF iQ Smart Cooker

Buy the Ninja PossibleCooker PRO if you want one large pot that sears, slow cooks, steams and goes into the oven and onto the table. Buy the CHEF iQ Smart Cooker if you mainly want fast pressure cooking with app guidance and a built-in scale. The Ninja is bigger, heavier and more versatile across dry and wet heat; the CHEF iQ is smaller, lighter and smarter, with automatic pressure release. Owners rate both highly, though the Ninja has far more ratings behind its score.

• Choose the Ninja PossibleCooker PRO if you cook for a family, want an 8.5-quart pot that moves from stovetop-style searing to a 500°F oven to the table, and prefer touch controls on the unit over a phone app.
• Choose the CHEF iQ Smart Cooker if pressure cooking is your main job, you like guided recipes and preset parameters sent from an app, and you want a built-in scale and automatic pressure release in a lighter 6-quart unit.
