Re: Consumer Reports rates kitchen countertop appliances

I am thinking of getting the Ninja Foodi which has a crisping lid.The Ninja gets great reviews.  Our Kohls has it on sale for $280.  I will use a 30% coupon.  Almost $90 off plus Kohls Kash

 

I have 3 pressure cookers.  My electric one, which is a Cooks Essentials can be hit or miss.  I will probably toss that out.

you go girl ! you gave them the best gift ever !

 

No, haven't seen that grill I got a $$$$ Phillips 

I"ll check it out though

 

Make sure they read directions. Foodi will tell you to put on the right lid for the right job and to add water if needed. It has a brain .

Ninja makes good stuff. I got their blender.

Re: Consumer Reports rates kitchen countertop appliances

I gave one of my sisters a mini class on how to use the foodi. She will help the others learn how to us it. They all live in town miles away from me. She made spaghetti and sausage last night and called me to say it was great and only one pot to clean. I'm so glad I saw the sale it is really a great gift.

The grill is on the ninja website it looks really cool but with the foodi I don't know if it is worth the money and for me the space. Its on amazon too but costs more. Hope you are well. Later

I think my Nespresso Pixie made the list!  I LOVE that little thing!  I use it for cappuccino, espresso and iced coffee.
