The pot is also oven-proof up to 500☏, so you can transfer it to the oven to keep food warm or broil the top of a gratin.īoth the pan and the metal-rimmed glass lid feel well-made and premium, but it’s worth noting that they’re quite heavy to carry (as can be expected of such a large capacity item). A big difference from other slow cookers is the cooking pot is designed to be a serving pot too – as it’s so nicely designed, it doesn’t look out of place at the dinner table. It has a non-stick coating so Ninja recommends only using wood or non-stick utensils. The non-stick metal pan fits into the base with a satisfying click. Several times I had to check whether I had pressed the start button, only to find that I hadn’t and my food hadn’t been cooking all along. The front LCD screen and dial are well-designed and intuitive to use, but the buttons are hard to press.
