LOOKS LIKE A POT,

FEELS LIKE A JACKPOT

In today’s go-go-go world, everyone’s got a couple go-to recipes. But what if you had a hundred or more? And your taste buds were never bored? Imagine making full meals in minutes, in the same pot.

Or perfectly poached eggs at the touch of a button. Or takeout favorites right at home. Now, stop imagining it and start cooking—thanks to the Ninja Cooking System with Auto-iQ™ Recipes, you win big at breakfast, lunch and dinner.

AUTO-IQ™ RECIPE PROGRAMS

Gone are the days of guessing in the kitchen. These four cooking modes do the thinking for you.

QUICK MEALS

All of these recipes are especially designed to get you in and out of the kitchen, quick and easy. Just add your ingredients and hit the button. All that’s left to do is enjoy.

LAYERED BOWLS

These two-step recipes use the Auto-iQ Cooking System as a stovetop to sear proteins and build layers of flavor before cooking

to perfection.

GRAINS

Cook grains such as oats and quinoa

to the perfect consistency with the touch of a button.

POACHED INFUSIONS

Use this setting to poach fish, fruit,

and more—like poached eggs for breakfast or shrimp cocktail for a classic dinner party appetizer.

MANUAL FUNCTIONS

These four functions make fundamental kitchen techniques easier and more convenient.

SLOW COOK

Worry-free ACCUTEMP temperature control operates behind the scenes to ensure your meals aren’t overcooked or underdone, so you can slow cook with confidence.

BAKE

With a controllable range of temperatures from 250°–425°F, you can dry bake hearty roasts or steam bake breads, cakes, and more.

STEAM

Steam veggies for that delightful snap,

or steam light proteins like seafood to play up their naturally subtle flavors.

STOVE TOP

An innovative heating element turns your Cooking System into a skillet so you can sear meats and sauté vegetables in one pot.

TRICKS OF THE TRADE

Here are a few tips to help you get the most out of your Auto-iQ™ Cooking System.

AT THE STORE

Organize your grocery list by the sections of your grocery store to make shopping a breeze.

PREPARE YOUR KITCHEN

Have the right tools on hand for prepping and measuring your ingredients. You will need both dry and liquid measuring cups (check out the next page to see why).

Buy pre-cut vegetables when available to cut down on prep time.

Designate a small container on your counter

for trash-like package wrappings, vegetable trimmings, and used paper towels.

ALWAYS USE GOOD FORM

Familiarize yourself with the recipe

by re-reading the ingredient list and directions.

Gather your ingredients, then measure and organize them by step.

Always use nonstick-safe utensils to avoid damaging the cooking pot’s nonstick coating.

Meal need to be cooked a little longer?

Simply set to BAKE DRY at 350° F for 5–10 minutes, checking for desired doneness.

DIETARY LABELS

Gluten-Free	Vegan	Adventurous Recipes
Dairy-Free	Paleo	Adventurous Recipes let you take a bite on the
		wild side. Inspired by restaurant and takeout favorites
Vegetarian		from near and far, these recipes pack a ton of flavor
		into just one easy-to-follow Auto-iQ recipe.

MEASURING MATTERS

Dry and liquid measurements differ, so it’s important to use the right tool for the job. Here’s a simple breakdown of standard measuring cups for dry and liquid ingredients.

DRY

MEASURING CUPS

½

¼

Dry measuring cups are used to measure dry ingredients (like flour and sugar) as well as non-pourable wet ingredients (like peanut butter and sour cream).

Measuring Tip

Over a bowl, overfill the measuring cup. Then level the ingredient with a flat edge, like a butter knife or spatula. This will ensure an exact

measurement and preserve the excess ingredient for future use.

Use dry measuring cups for:

	• Flour	• Cereal
	• Granulated white	• Peanut butter
	sugar	• Sour cream
	• Brown sugar	• Yogurt
	• Confectioners’	• Cream cheese
	sugar
		• Fresh &
	• Oats & other grains
		frozen fruit
	• Bread crumbs

LIQUID

MEASURING CUPS

Liquid measuring cups are used to measure liquid and pourable ingredients.

Measuring Tip

Place the measuring cup on your countertop before filling it. Once filled, bend down so you can see the measurement at eye level (looking at the cup from above will skew your view).

Use liquid measuring cups for:

• Water	• Milk
• Oil	• Juice
• Vinegar	• Stock/broth

2Pour water into the cooking pot and cover. Select Auto-iQ Poached Infusions: Recipe 1, 2, 3, or 4 and press the START/STOP button. The water will start heating up to a gentle simmer.

3At the first beep, which signifies the water has come to a simmer, the display will read “Add.” Lift lid and pour eggs carefully into water. Cover pot and press the START/STOP button.

4 While eggs are poaching, line a plate with a paper towel and have a slotted spoon ready.

TIPS

To help keep the egg whites from separating, add 1 tablespoon vinegar to the water.

Make Eggs Benedict, found on Page 98, with this process.

Crack your eggs first. This helps speed up the process and gives you more control over those delicate egg yolks, rather than cracking them right into the pot.
