Picture this. You have 15 minutes, and the pressure is on to plate up a perfectly cooked meal. Think juicy meats, crisp veggies, fluffy grains – all at once. No. It’s not an episode of Masterchef. Rather a typical weeknight as families across Australia hustle to whip up dinner that’s healthy, tastes good and is fast enough to prepare so that all temptation to order Uber Eats is avoided. But, before you cash in your immunity pin, take the advice of literal Mastechef Matt Moran, who shared all the ways that the new Ninja Combi Multicooker 14-in-1 passes the biggest pressure test of all. (AKA fussy family members!)
Matt’s no stranger to cooking magic. With over 40 years in the business, from running top restaurants to growing up on a family farm, he knows a thing or two about flavour and fuss-free meals. Now, Ninja has teamed up with him to bring that know-how straight into Aussie kitchens with this clever all-in-one cooker.
So, what makes the Ninja Combi worth chatting about? For starters, it squeezes 14 cooking functions into one device. Think air frying, baking, steaming, slow cooking, grilling, and even making pizza. And the best bit is you can cook a full meal in about 15 minutes, which is pretty impressive when you consider that you can get through an entire episode of M C before you’ve even finished baking your potatoes (just us?)
Matt’s advice for getting the most out of it? Use the top tray for proteins and veggies so they get that lovely crispy heat. And, pop your grains or slower-cooking sides on the bottom where they can steam gently and soak up all the flavours. It’s a neat little trick to get everything ready at the same time, without standing over the stove juggling pots.
What’s clever about the Ninja Combi is it cooks fast without drying out your food. Imagine pork belly, broccolini, and rice all finishing perfectly together, without you breaking a sweat. Plus, it’s big enough to handle family-sized portions or weekend batch cooking. So, you can cook once and eat well all week.
Matt’s teamed up with Ninja for a series of social media videos where he shares some of his favourite recipes and tips – perfect for anyone who loves good food but not the usual kitchen chaos.
As Matt puts it, “This isn’t just a gadget; it’s about making cooking easier and more enjoyable, especially when life gets busy. It’s the kind of thing that might just change how you approach dinner.”
If you’re after a way to make tasty meals with less fuss (and less time), the Ninja Combi Multicooker might just be worth a look. Especially with a little help from Matt Moran’s expert tips.
