A new range of multicookers has recently joined the Ninja catalog. Composed of Foodi OL550EU, Foodi MAX OL650EU and Foodi MAX OL750EU, it always promises more versatility.
The Ninja multicooker range is enriched at the end of the year with the arrival of a new SmartLid range. Not to be confused with the OPXXXEU range, which moreover recently welcomed a more compact model – the Ninja Foodi MINI OP100EU -, it introduces a new nomenclature and consists of three models: the Ninja Foodi OL550EU, Ninja Foodi MAX OL650EU and Ninja Foodi MAX OL750EU.
Three cooking modes with the same lid
Ninja has completely redesigned the design of its multicookers for this new range, whose models benefit not only from a new control panel, but also from a renewed cover. This includes the SmartLid slider, which gives them their name and allows them to switch from pressure cooking to cooking with hot air.

There is therefore no longer any need to change the cover, as was the case with previous models. All you have to do is slide this slider, which can also be placed in an intermediate position, to activate the new Combi-steam cooking mode intended to provide softness and crispness by combining steam and natural convection.
Up to 15 programs and 7.5 l
To facilitate the use of these three cooking modes, Ninja adds various programs as always. 11 to 15 are available depending on the model, with all modes “Pressure cook”, “Fry & steam”, “Bake & steam”, “Fry without oil”, “Grill”, “Bake”, “Dehydrate”, “Sear / Sauté”, Steam ”,“ Simmer ”and“ Yoghurt. ”The Foodi MAX OL650EU also includes a“ Steam meal ”program, just like the Foodi MAX OL750EU, on which is “Steam roast”, “Bread & steam” and “Prove” programs are also added.

Capacity and power are identical on the Foodi MAX with 7.5 l and 1760 W, against 6 l and 1460 W for the Foodi OL550EU and we will finally add that various accessories are provided each time: a Crousti basket that can contain up to with 1.1 or 1.8 kg of fries, a two-level grid and even a temperature probe in the case of the Foodi MAX OL750EU.
