Ninja products have quickly became one of my favorites. This pot does not let down! My favorite features are the drain slots in the lid, the handy spoon holder on top and it's so many functions. It's great for stews, pasta and even roasting a chicken. The only thing I haven't tried with it Is using it as a Dutch oven, but have used it in the oven. It washes easily which is great. It's really an all in one pot!
