I am loving my new Ninja 3 in 1 cooking system. It has been great these last couple months with the hot temperatures upon us.
Ninja 3 in 1 Cooking System
There is so much I can do with it, for starters it’s a slow cooker so it’s great for those one pot meals, it can also roast and bake which is great because it doesn’t heat up the kitchen like an oven will. It can also be used like a stove top this makes it great because now you only have one pan to clean up.

I used it the other day for my very first pot of stew of the season. I hardly ever brown my stew meat, I usually just dump it all in the Crock-Pot and cook. But this time I browned my stew meat in the Ninja three-in-one slow cooker.
Stew Recipe
* 2 lbs. Stew meat
* 4 medium red potatoes chopped
* 1 onion chopped
* 2 cups of mixed veggies, carrots, peas, and green beans
* 2 cans stewed tomatoes
* Salt and pepper to taste
* 1 teaspoon basil
* 1 teaspoon parsley
* water filled to cover above ingredients
Once the meat was browned I added my vegetables, stewed tomatoes, seasoning, and water. I programmed the slow cook and left it on it’s own. It turned out sooooo good that we ate the whole 6 quart pot of stew up in 4 days, and wishing we had more.

I do believe it was the best stew that I’ve ever made! The hubby commented on it several times.
Now that may have been the best because I browned the meat first, which I normally don’t. But I do know that it was delicious, and easier making it all-in-one pot. And I only had one pot to clean up afterwards. Being that its made with a non stick surface just made it that much easier. Love it!!!
That makes it a winner for me, and just think at first I didn’t want the hubby to spend the money on a new Ninja slow cooker when I had one that works perfectly fine. But gotta love him, he is always looking for ways to make my life a little bit easier, and he did just that with my new Ninja 3 in 1 Cooking System.

Oh Linda I wish I had a slow cooking pot to make all these yummy dishes and not have to clean up after so much at the end of the day. I will definitely take your recommendation and look into this ninja pot.

Mary it is awesome! I thought everyone had a slow cooker, well everyone should. It sure makes life easier even its not a Ninja. LOL

Oh I love slow cookers, it’s one of the few kitchen appliances I can actually use and it hasn’t blown up on me, yet 😉 Thanks for the great recipe Linda, I might just have to get myself a Ninja, the fact that it’s non stick and that you can brown the meat first makes it a winner in my books.

Well I hope your slow cooker doesn’t blow up, or anything else for that matter. I do love my new slow cooker, and can you believe I tried to talk him out of buying it. It is nice browning the meat all in one pan. I didn’t use to brown my meat because I didn’t want to dirty another pan, but my stew was still good. Didn’t realize what I was missing out on by browning it.

Wow! I think I’m in love! This needs to go on my Christmas wish list. Making stew all in one pot? And browning the meat? This sounds like a dream come true. And the fact that it’s non-stick would decrease the clean up time, could it truly get any better than this? Hubby was right, and I bet it makes for a happy wife, the best gift ever!
Linda @ Mixed Kreations says
It does cut down on cleanup. I couldn’t believe how easy it was to clean the first time I used it. The hubby is the best, he is always looking for ways to make things easier for me, and it does make me happy. LOL

The slow cooker is exactly great!!! It makes the cooking easy more. Not just fried, stewed that I can use it for many other things. The slow cooker is very wonderful!!!

Yes it is a great addition to my small kitchen appliances.
