Ninja HyperHeat 9-in-1 6L Pressure & Rice Cooker - Black

A huge upgrade on my old Instant Pot. A beast!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Firstly - Writing this as a total Shark / Ninja fan boy and received this as part of their tester programme. Whilst I have a lot of Shark / Ninja products, I can assure you I review with absolute honesty. My Robot vac (Count Vacula) for example is an absolute knob who never does what he's told, misses the edges and gets stuck all the time but everything else I own is the mutts nuts tbf. Was really excited to recieve the HyperHeat as I already the owner of an InstantPot pressure cooker so use this frequently over winter especially. Firstly - out of the box; she's a fairly sizeable beast but sleek and smooth with a nice finish and solid build quality. Easy to understand display and utterly simplistic to choose and select options. First thing that struck me was the high quality non stick bowl - anyone with an Instant Pot will know that unless you have loads of liquid it almost always burns to the bowl and malfunctions, especially after sauteing. No such madness with the hyperheat, even after searing the Pork Shoulder for 6 minutes, not a spec of seasoning or charring on the bowl! Super simple to follow the recipes, less than 1 hour 10 minutes from start to finish to make a full pulled pork in BBQ sauce that fell to pieces, succulent and juicy when ordinarily it would take me 6 hours - top tip is to add some liquid smoke to the water for some additional flavour. I've pressure cooked 4 frozen chicken breasts in 20 mins when i forgot to take them out of the freezer, shredded them and had them on pittas for a very quick and tasty dinner. Looking forward to trying some stews and ragus out and i've donated my InstantPot to a colleague as it pails in comparison now. I half wish it was autumn so i can utilise it more!

Would definitely recommend, wont be disappointed!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Definitely a firm favourite for my ninja products! From slow cook to pasta and rice. Pressure cooking is a great addition too! (Only down fall would be the manual release, I feel this is a back step to the previous model which has automatic release)

Love love love the new hyperheat

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love this hyperheat, I can say without doubt its brilliant. I've purchased many ninjas over the years as im a keen home baker and cook. I love new technology and ninja is a brand I can honestly say I love, the quality of their products is 2nd to none and always 5*. The machine itself Is not too heavy to move yourself and love that the inner bowl is the same colour as the machine, so you can serve straight to the table. I've been able to cook for 2 and 3 people and also batch cooked 7 servings in one go. The saute function is great for sealing meats. I love I can fry off my leeks, mushrooms and chicken in the pot before adding my stock, then pressure cook to cook a complete meal. Im going to do the same dish and slow cook it next time. I've cooked rice and chicken breasts at the same time using the rack provided and from start to finish took 20 mins, the rice was cooked to perfection and the chicken was so moist. Im looking forward to trying out the steam function for fish and veg also. The instruction booklet is very easy to understand and some recipes to try too. Overall id say this is a must for anyone living alone or cooking for a large family. Love you can whip up a hearty meal in 20 mins or slow cook if a busy day ahead. It looks great on the counter top and could easily fit in a cupboard. Only thing its missing is the bake function, I love making cakes in my other ninjas.

A brilliant, fuss-free multi-cooker

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I cook a lot of curries but have always struggled with the absorption method for rice. I was hoping the Ninja HyperHeat would finally put an end to the faff of lifting our heavy hob cover out of the way and soggy or burnt bottoms! DESIGN & USABILITY Unlike older, cumbersome pressure cookers, this model is much shallower and wider. This is a massive plus - it makes it so much easier to see your food and stir, especially if you aren't very tall! The side carry handles also make it incredibly easy to move around or store in a cupboard. (Tip: Do the initial pressure test in the manual to familiarise yourself. It doesn't beep when depressurizing is finished, but you will hear the valve drop). MY COOKING TESTS ALL IN ONE PASTA MEAL: I threw dried fusilli, diced bacon, sliced mushrooms, onions, and water straight into the pot and hit the dedicated Pasta button. Even though I added slightly too much water, the pasta and veg cooked perfectly! I just drained a little liquid, stirred in some crème fraiche, and had an effortless & tasty sauce. POACHED EGGS: This is usually so hard to get right! I put 4 eggs in ramekins with 250ml water in the pot and used Steam for 3 minutes. Perfect runny yolks on the very first try. BROWN RICE: Brown rice is notoriously tricky. I followed the chart exactly (200g rice to 300ml water) on the Rice mode for 25 minutes. It took about 40 minutes from start to finish (including pressurising and depressurising). The rice came out perfectly cooked and fluffy with absolutely no water remaining at the bottom! THE VERDICT Overall, I'm very impressed with what this machine can handle. If I had one small criticism it's that I would've thought the glass lid might be included (luckily I already had one that I purchased for another Ninja) but not a big deal! It makes creating healthy, delicious meals very quick and easy. I'm going to enjoy experimenting more. Highly recommended!

Ninja HyperHeat 6L 9-in-1 (PC201UK)

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Ninja HyperHeat 6L is a versatile, "nifty" bit of kit that has quickly become a staple in our kitchen. At 6 liters, it’s a fantastic size for families or meal prepping, offering a solid balance between counter space and cooking capacity. ​The High Points ​Stellar Performance: This machine excels at its core functions. It is especially impressive for pressure cooking meat; we’ve had great success making tender, juicy pulled pork that rivals any slow-cooker version in a fraction of the time. ​Perfect Rice: Using the Sear/Sauté function to toast the grains before switching to the Rice function yields incredible results. We followed the booklet’s stock-to-water ratios for Pilau rice, and it came out perfectly fluffy and full of flavor. ​Ease of Use: The interface is intuitive, making it easy to toggle between the 9 different modes once you get the hang of the settings. ​Room for Improvement ​The main drawback isn't the hardware, but the documentation. The included booklet can be quite vague, particularly regarding when exactly to add ingredients. This led to some trial and error with more delicate tasks. ​Trial: Poached Eggs ​We experimented with poaching eggs using separate silicone ramekins and the optional Ninja glass lid. ​Method: Steam function; added eggs after the preheat cycle. ​Timing: 4 minutes. ​Result: While they cooked well, they were slightly overdone for our preference. If you like a runnier yolk, we’d recommend scaling back to 2.5 or 3 minutes after the preheat. ​Final Verdict ​The PC201UK is a powerful, multi-functional workhorse. While you might need to buy a few accessories (like the glass lid) to unlock its full potential, and the manual requires a bit of "reading between the lines," the results speak for themselves. It’s a game-changer for everything from midweek rice dishes to weekend BBQ sandwiches.

NUMBER ONE KITCHEN COOKER FOR ME!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this a week ago and wanted to test the various settings. It comes with a separate lid, a steam rack and the inside pot that can be used to serve on the table on a heated mate One thing I must say is it is exceptionally quiet on the pressure cook setting. I decided to make a Shepherds Pie my first attempt. After searing the lambs mince and draining thoroughly I added carrots and onions on sear/saute setting 125mls lamb stock yes 125mls of stock. You pressure cook for 6 minutes and let it release pressure on its own. I needed to add extra stock and cornflour to thicken. I then cooked 2lb of potatoes and yet again 125mils of water, brought to pressure and cook for 5 minutes. When cooked there was still water in there. I drained and mashed plus seasoning, I tasted and they tasted like jacket potatoes. I finished it and browned in my Ninja grill for 15minutes. The flavour was unbelievable. My partner even remarked how it tasted it was a great hit. Everything I've cooked has been a perfect. The Pasta setting cooked it to perfection in 3 mins without boiling a saucepan of salted water, which makes it easier as I've osteoarthritis. It was the same with the rice setting and cooked on pressure for 6mins in 250mils of water. You save so much time and the taste is really good. I make my own tomato pasta sauce starting with garlic, chopped tomatoes,onions and Italian seasoning cooked on sear until reduced then added the pasta. I cheated with a beef brisket joint, a cheaper cut about 2lb in weight on the rack on pressure with 250mls of stock on high setting for about 1hr.then released pressure I drained used the stock for gravy and on sear/saute setting with a little oil and seasoning and brown on med setting to give it a colour. I wrap in Foil to stand. This setting is my preferable one but it can be adjusted. I will try more settings and will upgrade my review. This is a very versatile cooker it is so much quicker than seals in the flavour. It is extremely quiet you can only here a little ping when it's come to pressure, I thought it wasn't working, I'm so looking forward to trying all the setting. The next thing for me is the yoghurt setting but I will have to use semi-skimmed milk due to a strict diet I am on. I think it's a much healthier way of cooking it is smaller than the Ninja All in one items. I am loving using it. Everything is quicker and s Tastier than most forms of cooking. I think it's worth the price and would say there a place in the kitchen for this exceptional piece of equipment. I thoroughly recommend this product. I will add to this review once I've tried the other settings.

Great product

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I found this product easy to use, it is well made with quality materials. When I first used it it impressed me with how it quicly heats up to cook and it is very quiet and it is very easy to clean. I have used the pressure cook function and the sear and saute function and found them to be very good. I was impressed with the pressure cook function as it cooked the food amazing. I tried a simple potato first as I haven't used a pressure cooker before and it was so simple to use and do. I have also cooked rice,.peas and chicken all together and this was quick and easy to do and great because I only had one pot to wash. I seared some meat before using in a recipe and this function was quick and easy to use too. The product is not too heavy so can be easily moved around and very simple to use. I highly recommend this product for value and ease of use.

Looks good and is so easy to use and efficient

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this Ninja a week ago. Since then I have been trying out the different functions. The instructions are clear and easy to follow. I have other Ninja models so feel confident in using this new type. On opening the box I straight away thought how good it looks. It is not too heavy, unlike the other pressure cooker types. The fascia is set out really well and is really clear to read. I have tried most of the functions and have been really happy with what I have cooked. I started out with the pressure cooker, lovely fluffy potatoes. I then tried the rice cooker. The rice was cooked to perfection. I then tried a beef stew, my own recipe, as I didn't have all of the ingredients for the recipe in the book, cooked for 3 hours, absolutely lovely, tender meat. Will do that again! Then came the pasta function. This one had me guessing for a while, I put the spaghetti in with the water, put the lid on with the seal, selected pasta, within a couple of minutes ( while the water heated up) it suddenly changed to pressure cook, with a 10 minute time. I wasn't expecting that, after the 10 minutes was up, it turned itself off. I then turned the seal to vent, let the steam out, when I opened the lid, the spaghetti was cooked to perfection. Thought I would mention this in case anyone else wondered what was happening. I haven't tried the yoghurt, as in my opinion, it takes a long time and no one else in the house likes it. Overall I think this cooker is absolutely brilliant, with this and my air fryer, my oven and hob are now redundant. I really love this Ninja cooker would recommend it highly. I am really looking forward to experimenting with it further.

LOVELY EASY TO USE PRESSURE COOKER

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a lovely product, great for those who are new to Pressure cooking as it is simple and easy to use. It has an egronomically designed lid which is easy to grip. Comes to Pressure quite quickly and cooks things slightly faster. It is not too heavy so it can easily be moved if one doesn't have enough counter space. The inner pot has ceramic non stick coating which makes it very easy to clean there is no need to put in the dishwasher. I have cooked rice, pasta, chilli, made a stew, used the simmer and pasta functions, which I haven't come across in any of the Ninja Pressure cookers, with excellent results. The saute function is really good for making a quick stir fry. The pressure cooker has both a temperature and timer button which you can adjust as required. I haven't tried the yoghurt function yet but have no doubt it will work as well as that of the other Ninja Pressure cookers such as the 15 in 1. Something to note, this doesn't have an airfryer function, but I am sure that shouldn't detract from its excellent capabilities as most people have a standalone airfryer. Overall a great little Pressure cooker well worth considering.

Cleanest looking Ninja to date.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product and thought I’d make a pasta dish. Well it’s definitely easier to use the ninja I can say and the dish was cooked to perfection. I’m not too sure how much I will use this compared to my air fryers if it had that functionality this would definitely be getting 5 stars.
