Whether you choose an Instant Pot or a Ninja Foodi, there is a range of Ninja Foodi accessories and other items that can make your multi-cooker do much more for you.

Avocado Slicer

Avocados are something that can be quite hard to open. This can be very true if you’re not too confident with a knife, and don’t want to get “avocado hand” where you cut the middle of your palm open with a sharp knife! If you do like to eat them, then having an avocado slicer is so helpful, as it will make slicing up an avocado much easier and much safer. As well as having a safer knife, there is a scoop to get the avocado out with, as well as a handy tool to get the stone out of the avocado. It just fits in your drawer so is a must for every kitchen. I received one as a wedding gift and have found it very helpful.

Collapsible Colander

All kitchens need to have a colander, whether you are washing salad or draining spaghetti, it is a definite kitchen must-have. Traditional colanders can be quite bulky, though, taking up a lot of space in your home. That is why it can be a good idea to get a collapsible colander. It does the job that any colander would do, but it collapses and folds down flat so that it can be stored easily, whether that is in a kitchen cabinet or in a drawer.

Julienne Peeler

If you are someone who likes to cook and experiment with food, then you will know just how long some recipes can take. When you have to julienne some veggies, for example, it can take a long time to get them matchstick thin. A great gadget to get for the kitchen is a julienne peeler, which will cut things like carrots and zucchini up for you, speeding things up and meaning no cutting! A simple thing that is inexpensive, but can be a great addition to the kitchen.
