Many moms share the same dilemma: how do I cook nutritious, home-made meals without sacrificing quality-time with my kids? Moms who work full-time out of the house are usually stretched pretty thin as it is and who wants to spend all their time in the kitchen making dinner when they can be with their kids?!

The Ninja Cooking System is one big pot that enables you to roast, bake, slow-cook or make an entire meal.

I turned it on and left the kitchen. 30 minutes later I had a perfect meal. My husband couldn’t believe how easy it was – the spaghetti was cooked right in the pot – there was no need to dump the water. There was also no need to use different pots and pans or a colander. And I served it right out of the pot! I’m excited to try more complicated dishes now and between us, if I’m making dinner for guests, I don’t have to mention that it took me only 5 minutes to prepare and that the Ninja did all the work. The Ninja won’t tell…
