Ninja never disappoints. We have all of their products in our kitchen and are so excited to be able to use this pot every day. The things you can do with it are endless. It can be used as a plain pot or as basically a crock pot on the stove. It was super easy to use and clean afterwards. My favorite part is the strainer in the cover for when cooking noodles. So convenient and saves an extra dish from being used. The ladle works great too! You can hang it on top or on the side when not in use. Everything cooked evenly and I feel confident to cook a chicken on the pot with the perfect sized bottom grate.
