Ninja is a leader in the world of kitchen appliances, but don’t make the mistake of thinking it only sells air fryers. In fact, it has a wide range of gadgets, and you can currently snag another kitchen game-changer at a great price.
The Ninja Foodi 8-Mode 6L PossibleCooker is £119.99 direct from Ninja, featuring everything you need to retire your hob. Whether you want to sear, sauté, steam, slow cook, cook rice, porridge or pasta, or even just keep food warm, this all-in-one beast will have you covered.
If you struggle with cooking rice right, it’ll make light work of that – and works as a substitute for your hob for any pan-based cooking jobs you can think of. Its removable cooking pot is dishwasher friendly, and a doddle to clean by hand, helping to minimise mess. Digital controls are easy to use and provide plenty of options, with temperatures ranging up to 205 degrees Celsius, set cooking times of up to 12 hours, and myriad setups for different cooking styles available at the push of a button.

It’s already upgraded many a kitchen, with an average rating of 4.7 out of 5 from over 20 reviews on Ninja’s site. “Handy little addition to the kitchen with multiple functions,” said one five-star review. “It’s the perfect size for heating up soup, beans, making scrambled eggs. At the same time, its also big enough to make a pasta/rice based dinner for the family.”
“Great piece of equipment for the kitchen, use it more than my hob due to the versatility,” said another happy customer. A third added: “Excellent cooker, easy to use and clean. Also nice and compact. I have this and the bigger slow cooker and both are a part of my every day cooking.”
Some users have mentioned that its temperature range can take some getting used to: “I used it today on the slow cooker mode on high, and it was boiling fiercely. In my book that is not a slow cooker, I could boil my food on the hob! Just as others have said with the bigger one, high is way too high and low is too low.” We recommend reducing the set temperature if you find it’s too high for your needs.
Another user said the steaming function could be improved with an option besides the built-in rack. “Trying the steam option tonight but have noticed that our beans have to go on a rack that’s not designed for this,” they said. “I would suggest including a small mess basket instead.”
If you’re only looking for the bare minimum in a slow cooker, this Swan option at Robert Dyas is only £24.99 during the Black Friday sale. This Salter slow cooker at Currys is another great pick in that arena, costing just £23.99 right now.
That said, for the premier brand in functional cookware, a huge range of features, and a bargain price, the Ninja Foodi 8-Mode 6L PossibleCooker is an easy recommendation.
