Does anyone have one of these Ninja cookers.  It seems similar to Green Pans Electric Skillet, But less expensive.  Any thougts?

@Desertdi, I just want to say that I love how you added photos to the threads!

Just purchased the cherry color and have only gotten as far as watching YouTube videos on it to get ideas. Feels well made and not too large a footprint like some other products. I trust Ninja owning many small appliances in their line

The one I saw at Target is 8.5 quarts.  Just 2 of us so that's too big.  It does look great and it's very versatile.  I'm currently testing the cast Iron version from Instant Pot.  So far I love it.  The pot is heavy, but it's at counter level.  I remove the lid and it's easy to lift out the pot.  Love all the temperature control.  Made wonderful cabbage rolls last night.

I would say the height of it is the largest feature not the length at 8.5 qts. It's a stacked look. I bought the instant pot with cast iron when HSN had it as a TSV yet have not unboxed yet. So good to hear feedback on that one here. 🙏🏻

What is it exactly? Looks like a glorified crock pot

Lol.... simply another cooking vessel to play with and explore

@wagirl It's not a glorified slow cooker. These can do all manner of cooking. Sear, braise, simmer, and slow cook. You control the exact temperature and time. Once cooking is done the instant pot goes to warm.
For me it will let me use less energy over using my stove. My slow cooker is about to give up the ghost, so this was an opportunity to combine small appliances. It's also very easy to clean.

I'm curious about both the Insta Pot version and the Ninja - my slow cooker is very good, but heavy and I would like a multi-tasking pot but not a pressure cooker.
