Traditional slow cooking often means browning meat in a frying pan first, then moving it to the slow cooker. The Ninja Foodi 8-in-1 PossibleCooker MC1101UK lets you sear and slow cook in the same pot, so there's one less pan to wash.
At a glance
- 8 functions: sear/sauté, slow cook, white rice, brown rice, pasta, porridge, steam and keep warm
- 6 litre non-stick pot, oven-safe to 240°C
- Up to 12 hours slow cooking and 12 hours keep warm
- 1400 W
- Dishwasher-safe pot, lid and accessories
What one pot can replace
Ninja positions the PossibleCooker as a slow cooker, rice cooker, steamer, sauté pan and hob pot in one. Because the pot is oven-safe to 240°C, you can even finish a dish in the oven, for example to crisp a cheesy topping. Ninja says the pot takes up to 800 g of rice or a 1.8 kg joint.
An easy one-pot idea: beef and ale stew
- Use Sear/Sauté to brown diced beef in batches, then soften chopped onion, carrot and celery in the same pot.
- Stir in a spoon of flour, then add ale and beef stock to just cover, plus thyme and a bay leaf.
- Switch to Slow Cook and leave it for several hours until the beef is tender.
- Season and serve with mash or crusty bread.
Tips
- Don't overcrowd the pot when searing. Brown meat in batches for better colour.
- Use wooden or silicone utensils to protect the non-stick coating.
- Keep Warm is handy when people eat at different times.
- Always make sure meat is cooked through before serving.
Frequently asked questions
Is it a pressure cooker?
No. It slow cooks, steams, sears and cooks rice and pasta, but it doesn't pressure cook. If you want pressure cooking, see our guide to the Instant Pot Classic Mini.
How big is 6 litres?
Big enough for family-size stews, chillis and curries, with leftovers for the freezer.
