I am so excited and grateful to have been gifted this Ninja Foodi. My old crockpot is terrible and the temperatures fluctuate wildly. The Foodi is a fantastic replacement, plus a huge upgrade with all the extra features. Not only can I make soups and stews in this, but I can also cook meals I'd usually make in the oven, and also have stovetop functionality. I've been frying eggs in it every day. I'm going to gift my brother with one once he moves, because this is such a space saver and will be great if he doesn't have a full stove.
