Product Information

Roast fluffy roast potatoes, rich nut roasts, Mediterranean vegetable medleys and warming winter veg. litre capacity makes it a great option for large families, but you will however need the countertop room or ample storage space to house it.

Editorial independence means being able to give an unbiased verdict about a product or company, with the avoidance of conflicts of interest.Multi-Cooker OP500UK (to give it its full name) can in fact pressure cook meals up to 70% faster than traditional cooking methods, and air fry with up to 75% less fat than traditional methods.

We particularly pay attention to the hinges and joints, such as where the lid joins the base, as well as the buttons and switches.As the name suggests, this model can pressure cook, air fry, slow cook, roast, grill, steam, bake, sear and dehydrate. Use the 2-tier reversible rack to cook mains and sides at the same time, perfect for layering vegetables, rice and grains with meat or fish.

If there’s one problem with kitchen gadgets, it’s that you can end up with a cupboard full of them, all taking up space. Ninja doesn’t provide a lot of automated cooking modes, but this isn’t an issue since included in the box is a book with suggested cooking times and temperatures for lots of different ingredients. When all the steam is released, the red float valve will drop down and the unit will be ready to open. Instead, when the cook time is complete, wait for the unit to naturally release the pressure on its own.Going beyond a standard air fryer, this model is also a great grill and roaster, making it very versatile. Cooking for 20 minutes at 200ºC, with 125ml of water in the bowl, I found that my chips were excellent. These often benefit from the highest temperature available, but the Ninja OL750UK doesn’t have the MaxCrisp feature of some models, with the highest temperature of 210ºC. However, if you want more from your cooking appliance, then the multiple modes on offer here are terrific.

Impress your guests with 9 cooking functions in one pot, including Pressure Cook, Air Fry, Slow Cook, Steam, Bake/Roast, Sear/Sauté, Grill, Yoghurt and Dehydrate.

The results were impressive as it didn’t just roast the chicken but left it incredibly tender, retaining moisture on the inside and crisping on the outside. Next, I moved on to some rump steak, grilling it with the temperature probe inserted and the cooking target set to Medium. Everything from an air fryer to a slower cooker and pressure cooker, the Ninja Foodi Max OL750UK is an all-round brilliant multi-cooker for those who love to cook. It make soups, stews and curries, plus twin lids mean it can double as an air fryer, too, browning everything from meat to vegetables, steak and seafood.
