You can choose either Low, Medium or High within each function īlend – this will run for 60 seconds, or until manually stopped.Ĭook – this will run for 60 minutes, or until manually stopped. There are 2 manual settings on the Ninja, a blend and a cook function. I really like the saute function on my Morphy Richards soup maker, so I was happy to see it included on the Ninja. Really handy when making soups and sauces. The chop program is a useful function – it pulses for 12 seconds and finely chops up ingredients like onion, garlic etc. The recipe book comes with 3 sauce recipes Traditional Tomato Sauce, Alfredo Sauce and Spinach & Artichoke Dip. I should add, the jam tasted amazing and was only slightly runny – we still spread it on toast! I will make this recipe again with the exact ingredients listed in the Ninja recipe book and report back. So, I believe this was a fail with my choice of sugar/pectin rather than the fault of the Ninja. Having since read reviews from other people who have used the above jam sugar (not in the Ninja, with regular jam making in a pot), they also mentioned that their jam didn’t set. The taste of the jam was perfect but unfortunately it didn’t set. Oh the smell as it was bubbling away, so tasty! I found it fascinating to watch the Ninja work it’s magic. I did alter it slightly because I couldn’t get hold of any fruit pectin – I could only find jam sugar in my local supermarket. I made the strawberry jam recipe supplied in the book. Once the program has finished the jam needs to chill in the fridge for around 4 hours. All ingredients get added to the Ninja jug, the ‘chop’ function slices everything up and the ‘jam’ function does everything else. The recipe book comes with 2 jam recipes Simple Berry Jam and Mixed Berry Jam. Guess what? There are no minimum amounts – meaning you can absolutely make soup for 1 if you want to! I love having this option. I couldn’t see any minimum quantity requirements on the Ninja jug, or in their instructions, so I tested it out. This isn’t always ideal if you’re only cooking for 1 or 2 people. Many of the other soup makers currently on the market require that you cook a minimum quantity in them. Good To Know – Do You Want To Make Soup for only 1 or 2 people? The result of this gentle pulse meant that the chicken broke up a little bit, but that was just fine as it makes more sense to have slightly smaller and more shredded pieces of chicken in the soup. The chunky soup program does churn the ingredients up a little bit, I guess to make sure that they move around enough to cook through evenly. This is really good news if you fancy a meat based soup but don’t have any cooked meat leftovers. Yes, you can cook meat in the Ninja, and it tastes great! Yay. Although I do use leftover cooked chicken for a lot of my chicken based soups, I was really interested to know if I could cook meat in the Ninja! I really wanted to test a recipe that included meat – there is a recipe in the book that comes with the Ninja for Chicken Noodle Soup where you don’t need to precook the chicken – like you do for some other soup makers. It then pulses and stirs the ingredients to make sure they all get cooked evenly, ending with an intense blending session where the Ninja works it’s magic to turn the ingredients into a very smooth soup. The smooth soup function works by heating up until it gets to boiling point. The recipe book also comes with a quick guide to creating custom smooth soups, meaning you can pretty much adapt and soup recipe to make in your Ninja Soup Maker. The program duration lasts for 30 minutes (not including the time for the chop and saute function). The recipe book comes with 2 smooth soup recipes Curry Cauliflower Soup and Butternut Squash Soup. All the ingredients go in the jug and press the ‘MILKSHAKE’ button. I made the Vanilla Milkshake from the recipe book – ice cubes, vanilla ice cream, whole milk and vanilla extract. The recipe book comes with 2 milkshake recipes Vanilla Milkshake and Chocolate Milkshake Morning Blast. All the ingredients are added to the jug in the order listed and press the ‘FROZEN DRINK’ button. I made the Strawberry Frozé from the recipe book which consists of rosé wine, fresh mint leaves and frozen strawberries. The recipe book comes with 2 frozen drink recipes Frozen Mango Margarita and Strawberry Frozé.
