Ninja Cooking System

I know, I know, here he is with another gadget.. But really I have to say that outside of a good Cast Iron Dutch Oven this tool really can allow you to cook a meal in a single pot. 
For those of you that don't know, the Ninja cooking system is kind of a crock pot on steroids.  You can slow cook, turn it down to "warm" for a buffet type service but also cook in a very small oven type environment as well as steam cook thus shortening the cooking time for most larger items.

Ninja Recipes

My experience has been (as mentioned earlier Siopao recipe) with Dr Pepper infused Pork Shoulder for Pulled Pork and for Easter an 8 lb standing Rib Roast.  All done in less time and with less mess than one would think.

As I mentioned, one pot - I seared both large cuts of meat in the Ninja - placing them directly on the cooking surface - removed them to the metal rack and then used what ever appropriate steaming liquid for each cut of meat...  (Dr Pepper for the Pork Shoulder and Red Wine and Beef Stock for the Rib Roast).   Both were done in much shorter period of time - Beautiful thing about the Ninja lid, it has a hole in the top that allows a digital thermometer to go through it so I didn't even have to open the lid to know when it was done...

Anyway, I have a few pics of the cooking system - and I have to give my neighbor Tammie the "props" for turning me on to the "Ninja".. It really does work...

Going to roast a pheasant or two soon....  Ike and I will let you know how that goes..... :)

All the parts  even a small muffin pan



All controls are right in front temp and or time is adjusted with dial on the right

Here is the basket that meet can sit on - 8 lb roast is about as big as you can fit
