Let the Ninja® Foodi™ Pressure Cooker from Bed Bath & Beyond Do The Heavy Lifting This Holiday Season

Sometimes, over the holidays, we bite off more than we can chew. We save hundreds of recipes on Pinterest and become very ambitious about the menus we plan for holiday dinners. When we over extend ourselves, it leaves us with less quality time to spend with our loved ones and more headache and exhaustion in the kitchen! That’s why you need your own Ninja® Foodi™ 11-in-1 Pro Pressure Cooker & Air Fryer!

We could not make it through a holiday season without this must-have kitchen gadget. The PRO pressure cooker, that also crisps, has 11 programmable cooking functions for endless recipe options. With a push of a button you can have succulent carne asada for family taco night. If you need an easy pastry to whip up for Christmas morning, you’re going to love our Pumpkin Swirl muffins. We were able to roast an entire pumpkin in our Ninja® Foodi™ Pressure Cooker to give this muffin batter a incredibly rich, homemade fall flavor.

Give yourself the gift of an extra set of hands this holiday season. Shop online or in-store at Bed Bath & Beyond for the best deals on the  Ninja® Foodi™ Pressure Cooker.
