How is this different from the Instant Pot Duo Crisp?

Both pressure cook and air fry. The Ninja adds combi-steam modes, a sliding SmartLid and dedicated grill, dehydrate and prove functions, while the Duo Crisp uses a separate air fry lid.

Do I need to change the lid between pressure cooking and air frying?

Yes. The SmartLid slides between pressure cook and air fry positions, so you switch modes rather than swapping lids.

Can it bake bread and cakes?

Yes. It has bake and prove programs, plus combi-steam settings for bread and cake.

How long can it slow cook?

The slow cook function runs up to 12 hours.

What can I cook in the steam modes?

Combi-steam combines steam with conventional heat for juicy, crispy results, and there are steam programs for baking.

Is it good for a small kitchen?

It saves space by replacing several appliances, but it is large and heavy, so check your counter space first.

Our take on the Ninja Foodi 11-in-1 SmartLid Multicooker

The Ninja Foodi SmartLid OL550UK is a countertop multicooker that combines pressure cooking, air frying, steam cooking and grilling under one switchable lid. Its 11 functions cover slow cooking up to 12 hours, searing, sautéing, dehydrating, dough proving and baking, so it replaces several separate appliances. It suits cooks who want one machine for fast weeknight pressure meals and crisp air-fried food. Rivals such as the Instant Pot Duo Crisp also pair pressure and air frying, but the SmartLid's sliding lid and combi-steam modes give it more cooking methods in one footprint.
