Ninja’s New Multicooker Wants a Permanent Spot on Your Counter

Is Ninja ever not thinking of the next best kitchen appliance? The brand just dropped its newest Ninja MultiPot XL 12-in-1 Multicooker, letting you cook two dishes at once with DualZone Technology (or swap in the single XL pot for a single, family-sized meal with MegaZone Technology). With three swappable cooking pots in one powerful base, just looking at pictures of this exciting new launch gets me excited to try new fall and winter recipes.

One super exciting feature I appreciate is that all the ceramic cooking surfaces are designed for nontoxic cooking and contain no PFAS, PTFE, or PFOA. It’s clear Ninja understands that home cooks are paying more attention than ever to what’s really touching our food.

Ninja Multipot XL Multicooker Features

  • Choose two 3.3-qt cooking pots to make 2x the meals in half the time with DualZone™ Technology (This means you can make a main and an appetizer or side dish at the same time, satisfying picky eaters and dietary restrictions by making one food in two different ways.
  • Get creative beyond dinner time and make desserts like cheese and chocolate fondue at the same time. 
  • For larger recipes, swap in the 7.5-qt XL cooking pot powered by MegaZone Technology that provides family-sized capacity – big enough to feed 12 people, including a 6lb roast. 
  • 12 cooking functions let you use this multi-use device for sous vide cooking, stir-fry, slow cooking, rice cooking, and more.
  • Nesting pots go straight from cooker to oven to table
  • Removable dual-hinged lids let you open one or both sides while cooking and serving, and are dishwasher-safe for effortless cleanup.
  • Cleanup is low-effort by design, with removable, dishwasher-safe pots and an integrated condensation catch that helps keep drips contained and countertops clean.

Imperial IPAs to drink this fall
Lawson's Finest

If you don’t think the IPA is a great beer for autumn, it’s probably because your only experience with this hoppy style is the piney, bitter West Coast IPA, the light, crushable session IPA, or the hazy, juicy New England-style IPA. But fall is the perfect time of year for the Imperial IPA for a variety of reasons.

In my years writing about alcohol, I’ve spent a lot of time tasting and rating IPAs. While it might seem like you need to finish off all your lighter beers (including IPAs) as the days get shorter and colder, that is not the case with Imperial IPAs. In fact, I believe that there aren’t many beers better for cool fall weather than this boozy, hoppy beer style.

Classic fall-flavored dark beers you should be drinking this season
Great Lakes

If autumn were a flavor, what would it be? I know this task is difficult, so let’s make it easier by thinking in beer terms. What beers taste the most like fall? Is it a pumpkin beer? Maybe an Oktoberfest beer? How about a smoked beer that emulates the aromas of a fall campfire? All of these are absolutely correct. That’s because fall is full of flavors, and the beer you drink reflects you and your personal tastes.

Fall is also definitely a dark beer. There’s no doubt about that. Cold nights, short days. It’s the perfect time for dark, malty, warming beers.

Heaven Hill is releasing a bourbon featuring whiskey from before a 1996 fire destroyed its original distillery
Heaven Hill Phoenix

Everyone loves comeback stories, right? In 1996, lightning struck the Old Heaven Hill Springs Distillery and destroyed it in a fire. Driven by wind, the 1935 distillery burned to the ground. The inferno destroyed around 100,000 aging barrels. To honor this event, Heaven Hill is releasing Heaven Hill Phoenix, a limited-edition, one-time 18-year-old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey.
