Our attempt at Ninja's own chicken with creamy pasta recipe wasn't very successful – the pasta was rubbery and undercooked, while the broccoli had the opposite problem and turned to mush.

Remember that on this list are many recipes that can be made in the Foodi but can also be made in the Ninja Speedi! Included in the box is the cook and crisp tray, which has silicone feet on each corner that extend out, as well as a condensation collector, recipe book and instruction manual. The body of the appliance is wrapped in paper, and cardboard inserts are used to keep it secure in transit. We achieved good results with the steam bake setting, and our flourless chocolate and almond cake had a fudgy, brownie-like centre with a firm top.To adapt this recipe, we turned to the chocolate fudge cake recipe in the Ninja Speedi manual, which advises adding 500ml of water to the cooking pot, before placing a 20cm tin (filled with the batter) inside and baking for 20-25 minutes. Remember that it can take several tries to get used to using the machine, once you do though it will be worth it. We like to keep an 8-inch cake pan on hand along with some smaller pans so that we can do a variety of meals in the Ninja Speedi. When using air fry/hob mode, the legs have to be folded inwards so the tray can sit at the base of the pot.

There are also instructions on how to steam-clean the Speedi if you find oil or food residue is building up on the heating element or fan. If a recipe says “Air Fryer” this can be made in the Ninja Speedi, the same is true for recipes that say “Crockpot” or “Slow Cooker”, simply use the slow cook function. It's a good-looking piece of kit, if a little boxy, with a light grey body and smooth push-button interface. There was a small amount of plastic wrap around the top of the Speedi, but we could see that Ninja has made a conscious effort to limit the amount of non-recyclable waste. Utilize your Ninja Speedi to make a variety of Ninja Speedi Recipes, including breakfast, lunch, dinner, and dessert!The switch on the lid allows you to flick between the Speedi Meals mode, which comes with a range of steaming options, and the air fry/hob setting, designed for air frying, grilling, roasting and sautéing. Now, the brand has unveiled its latest product, the Ninja Speedi: a multi-cooker of sorts, but with a unique rapid-cook setting that combines steam with convection heat to turn meals around in just 15 minutes. Whether you’re a seasoned home cooking pro or someone looking to simplify meal prep, this versatile appliance offers a range of benefits. When the appliance is on rapid cooker setting, the tray sits in the top position, elevated from the base of the pot with its legs extended out. Any baking pans can be used in the Ninja Speedi that would normally be used in the oven as long as they fit the Ninja Speedi.

The non-stick was effective and the temperature was easy to control, with heat levels ranging from one to five. The saving grace was the chicken, which was evenly browned and had the succulent texture we were looking for. For instance, one of my personal favorites is this Ninja Foodi Pumpkin Bread, it can easily be made in the Ninja Speedi with the Bake Function just as it was in the Ninja Foodi.Much like some of the best multi-cookers, the genius behind the Speedi is that you don't have to use multiple appliances – or even different lids – for different cooking methods.
