With more people choosing to cook at home than eat out these days, and with the spike in pressure- and one-pot cookers, Americans are going one step further. They're taking their low-cooked meals, such as tenderized beef or chicken, and finishing it in their ovens to achieve a crispier texture. Acting upon this, kitchen gadget company SharkNinja decided to take the popular pressure-cooking element and merge it with air-frying technology to simplify the entire process, creating the Ninja Foodi (essentially, the Easy-Bake Oven for adults).

Turn the informative pages, and The Unofficial Cookbook for Ninja Foodi Beginners breaks down the science and food technology that makes this celebrated cooking appliance so useful. Home cooks will be educated on the various components and features of the unit. Care, cleaning, and safety are also discussed, along with common cooking methods used in the book. Tips, tricks, and stocking the pantry round out the introductory pages, followed by a bountiful collection of healthy, mouthwatering, and simple recipes that celebrate the foods one can prepare with the incredible Ninja Foodi.
