Cleaning: Dishwasher & Hand-Washing
The unit should be cleaned thoroughly
after every use.
1
Unplug the unit from the wall outlet
before cleaning.
2
NEVER
put the cooker base in the
dishwasher, or immerse it in water
or any other liquid.
3
To clean the cooker base and the
control panel, wipe them clean with
a damp cloth.
4
The cooking pot, pressure lid, silicone
ring, and Cook & Crisp™ Plate can be
washed in the dishwasher.
5
The broil rack is hand-wash
ONLY.
6
The pressure lid, including the pressure
release valve and anti-clog cap, can
be washed with water and dish soap.
DO NOT
take apart the pressure release
valve or float valve assembly.
7
To clean the crisping lid, wipe it down
with a wet cloth or paper towel after the
heat shield cools.
8
If food residue is stuck on the cooking
pot or Cook & Crisp Plate, fill the pot
with water and allow to soak before
cleaning.
DO NOT
use scouring pads.
If scrubbing is necessary, use a non-
abrasive cleanser or liquid dish soap
with a nylon pad or brush.
9
Air-dry all parts after each use.
Removing & Reinstalling
the Silicone Ring
To remove the silicone ring, pull it outward,
section by section, from the silicone ring
rack. The silicone ring is reversible and can
be installed with either side facing up. To
reinstall, press it down into the rack section
by section.
After use, remove any food debris from
the silicone ring and anti-clog cap.
Keep the silicone ring clean to avoid odor.
Washing it in warm, soapy water or in the
dishwasher can remove odor. However, it is
normal for it to absorb the smell of certain
acidic foods. It is recommended to have
more than one silicone ring on hand. You
can purchase additional silicone rings on
ninjaaccessories.com.
NEVER
pull out the silicone ring with excessive
force, as that may deform it and the rack
and affect the pressure-sealing function.
A silicone ring with cracks, cuts, or other
damage should be replaced immediately.

Sous Vide
1
Install the cooking pot in the cooker
base. Add 12 cups of room-temperature
water to the pot.
2
Press the SOUS VIDE button. The
default temperature setting will display.
Use the up and down TEMP arrows
to set a temperature between 120°F
and 190°F.
3
The cook time will default to 3 hours.
Use the up and down TIME arrows to set
the cook time in 15-minute increments
up to 12 hours.
4
Install the pressure lid (see section titled
Installing & Removing the Pressure Lid).
5
Press the START/STOP button to begin
preheating.
6
The unit will beep when preheat is
complete and ADD FOOD will show on
the display. Remove pressure lid and
place bags in the water using the water
displacement method: Working with
one bag at a time, leave a corner of the
bag unzipped—as you slowly lower the
bag into the water, the pressure of the
water will force the air out of the bag.
When just the bag’s seal is above the
water line, finish closing the bag, making
sure no water gets inside. Keep the
bag’s seal just above the water line.
7
Reinstall the pressure lid and ensure the
pressure release valve is in the VENT
position.
8
When cook time is complete, the unit
will beep. Carefully remove bags from
the water with silicone-tipped tongs.
USING YOUR FOODI® 11-IN-1
5-QT. PRO PRESSURE COOKER – CONT.
NOTES:
It can take up to 10 minutes
for the unit to preheat. Prepare up to
3 pounds of ingredients during this time
by seasoning them, then placing each
portion in a single-use resealable
plastic bag.
For cook times of 4+ hours with a
temperature above 160
°
F, double-bag
each portion of food or wrap in plastic
wrap before placing in the single-use
resealable bag. This will help protect food
during the long period of submersion.
NOTES:
If the food you have cooked is
not going to be consumed immediately,
plunge the bags into ice water to reduce
temperature quickly, then keep food
refrigerated.
When reheating food that has been
cooked using the Sous Vide function,
use the Sous Vide function again. After
preheating the water, add food in the
resealable bags and cook approximately
15–20 minutes using the desired cook
temperature.
Sous vide is almost always the first step
in the cooking process. Foods should
be finished by using a dry heat method
such as broiling, sautéing, roasting, or
air frying.
NOTE:
For best results when using the
Sous Vide function, do not use the unit
prior and do not add warm water.
