We just got this Deluxe Model for Christmas before Thanksgiving . made a bean casarole in 20 minutes that used to take 4 hours in the croc pot and put a nice  crisp on it we could never do in the old croc pot. Also did some awesome cheesy spagettie and meatballs fast simple and crispted some extra cheese on that .Yum like a pasta / lasagna :) best pasta I ever made . We also did some  frozen French fries . All turned out great with a few vidio recipes we saw on the internet and using the supplied cook book . Works awesome fast simple and you can go healthy with the air fryer and fast with pressure cooking funtions .. Fantastic and clean up is easy and simple . We are having fun and cooking some originals to tastes we like. Ninja Foodi is totally AWESOME .!!! The 8 Qt Ninja Foodi Delux is hands down the best kitchen gadget we ever got Period ... :)
