- What can the SmartLid do that a standard pressure cooker can't?
- The lid slider lets you switch between pressure cooking, steam and air-fry modes on the same pot. That means you can pressure cook food and then crisp it without changing lids.
- How big is the cooking pot?
- The pot holds 8 quarts, enough for large batches, whole chickens or meals for a family. The unit itself is about 14.2 inches wide and 14.2 inches tall.
- Does it come with accessories?
- It includes a deluxe reversible rack for two-level steam and air-fry cooking. The nonstick cooking pot is part of the unit.
- Can I put the pot and rack in the dishwasher?
- Ninja calls the cooker easy to clean, but the nonstick pot is best hand washed to protect the coating. Check the rack's finish before dishwashing it.
- Is it good for air frying?
- Yes. Air fry is one of its main modes, and SteamCrisp combines steam with a crisp finish. Results are close to a dedicated air fryer, though the basket is a single large pot rather than a pull-out drawer.
- Who is it not right for?
- Shoppers with little counter space or who want a light, small appliance may find it too big. It also suits people willing to learn pressure-cooking settings.
