A:AnswerI have not had a problem cleaning mine. I wipe it off after every use. The hardest part is removing the rubber seal to wash and then reinstall. After you do this 1-2 times, it is easier to do.
A:AnswerThe Ninja - Foodi 14-in-1 8qt. XL Pressure Cooker & Steam Fryer with SmartLid is equipped with SteamCrisp Technology. This allows you to steam and crisp at the same time for faster, juicier, crispier results without drying out the food.
A:AnswerYes, use the sear option, and then the pressure option. 40 to 45 minutes on the pressure cook option will render any marrow or collagen out of the bones.
A:AnswerCeramic coatings are considered much safer than Teflon and do not off-gas when overheated. I personally use both the factory and an aftermarket stainless pot easily attainable for the eight quart unit. I personally feel safe using the factory pot given the overall build quality of Ninja products. This however is my personal opinion with no scientific data.

A:AnswerIf you’re trying to cook your home, then yes. If you’re not trying to burn the place down, then heck no. This is basically a table top convection oven.
A:AnswerYes to the boiled eggs.
Yes to the Bacon
Yes to the Seared Meat.
With a few caveats. Bacon will curl up but that doesn't impact flavor. Boiled eggs you will need an accessory for doing just that. Sear meat just as you would an electric skillet. Just cook it in the bottom of the no stick pot. Works very well.
A:AnswerThere are two pressure settings. High and Low.
We were concerned about the same thing as our old pressure cooker came with 4 pressure settings and went higher. But everything we have cooked in the pressure cooker has turned out perfect. So far not a single complaint. Our number one use is a beef tomato stew but that isn't the only thing we have done. So far it's far better than our old aluminum pressure cooker and I feel much safer with it.
A:AnswerNope, not safe for canning. Nor is it really big enough even though we got the 8qt. My wife still has her pressure cooker for canning. This just isn't designed for canning.
Sorry!
A:AnswerNo, there doesn't seem to be a delay start on this unit. Some other units do seem to support that feature but I can't find that in the list of features in the manual and on line it says it's not possible.
