The Ninja 4-in-1 Multi Cooker is a combination of an oven, stovetop, steamer, and slow cooker. And it all fits conveniently on your countertop. It’s perfect for everyday cooking but it really shines when you need that extra cooking appliance during a busy holiday season. The nonstick cooking pot is 6 quarts, making it roomy enough for casseroles or even large roasts. It has a glass lid so you can always check your progress you’re cooking. The Ninja comes with a roasting steamer rack, baking pan, travel bag, and a cookbook with over 150 recipes uniquely designed for this machine. Today I’m going to make one of my favorite recipes, Slow Cooker Pulled Pork. But first we need to brown it. So I’ve already set the machine to the stovetop setting. I’ve put it on high and let it preheat for about 5 minutes. Next, we’re going to put the pork shoulder in, and it’s going to brown really quickly. A good rule of thumb is to use at least 1 cup of liquid per 1 pound of meat. And once you’ve started cooking, make sure to keep that lid on. The Ninja can slow cook either on low or high. I’m going to set this to the low setting, and let it cook for 7 full hours. Pulled pork is perfect for this kind of cooking because you can take even an inexpensive cut of meat and make it fork tender. Remember that the Ninja is also an oven that allows you to bake or roast all of your favorite foods. If you add a little liquid to this machine, it turns it into a steam oven. And because of its size, it cooks up to 30% faster and all your foods come out super juicy. Finally consider steam baking. You can do things inside like cheesecake or my Pineapple Upside Down Bread Pudding. You’ll find that recipe on QVC.com. The last thing you can do with your Ninja is steam foods, like veggies or seafood. Now remember, you’ll need at least one cup of water to steam most foods, but remember with seafood, especially clams or muscles, they release their own liquids, so adjust those levels accordingly.
