You might be too young to know it, but pressure cookers weren’t always the safest appliances to use in the kitchen. They were cumbersome and complicated, leaving only the bravest of pro chefs interested in even attempting to use one. If they weren’t sealed properly or overcrowded, they’d explode, and trying to let out the steam was like dodging lava pouring straight out of Mount Vesuvius. In conclusion, stay away.

Despite their incredible versatility and ability to cook dishes like oxtails and stews to fork-tender doneness with ease, I grew up understanding that owning a pressure cooker meant playing with fire and I wanted no parts of it. That is until the Instant Pot came and the rest is history. These days there are a variety of mulitcookers on the market and we’ve come a long way from the relatively unsafe days of yore.
Now you can saute, bake, air fry, steam, roast, and pressure cook all in one appliance without so much as lifting a finger. You really can learn from your mistakes after all, or, at least, try. Like most things, learning is continuous, and there’s still the possibility of making mistakes now and then. Such is the case with Ninja’s popular Foodi Pressure Cooker, which was just recalled due to concerns of a potential burn hazard.

The voluntary recall affects nearly 1.8 million Ninja Foodi Multicookers with model codes of OP300, OP301, OP301A, OP302, OP302BRN, OP302HCN, OP302HAQ, OP302HW, OP302HB, OP305, OP305CO, and OP350CO, which are printed on a label on the side of the pressure cooker. According to the filing, the recall was issued due to reports that the lid of the pressure cooker could be opened while still in use, subjecting users to burns upwards of third-degree.
So far, 26 lawsuits have been filed against the company with over 150 complaints from purchasers detailing extensive burns to their face and or body. The recall also includes replacement lids sold separately. Customers who have the recalled multicooker are advised to stop use immediately and contact SharkNinja for a free replacement lid.
