Ninja has launched the MultiPot XL 11-in-1 Multi-Cooker in the UK for £259.99. Its two side-by-side inner pots can cook different foods with separate settings and temperatures, while a 7-litre MegaZone offers a single-pot option. Ideal Home describes it as the UK’s first split-zone multi-cooker; independent confirmation of that market-first claim is not provided.
Ninja has launched its MultiPot XL 11-in-1 Multi-Cooker in the UK, priced at £259.99, with two interchangeable inner pots designed to cook separate dishes at different settings and temperatures. Ideal Home describes it as the UK’s first “split-zone” multi-cooker, though the source material does not include independent confirmation of that market-first claim.
The MultiPot XL offers three cooking arrangements: a single 7-litre “MegaZone” pot, or two smaller pots placed side by side inside the appliance. The split arrangement lets users prepare two foods at once, rather than making one dish wait while another cooks. Ninja’s split lid allows either pot to be used independently, according to the report.
The appliance has 11 programs: slow cook, sear/sauté, bake, sauce, rice, pasta, mixed rice, sous vide, simmer, hotpot and keep warm. Ideal Home says the large pot can handle about eight portions. The report does not state the capacity of each smaller pot or provide full dimensions, power details or cleaning guidance.
Ideal Home’s kitchen appliances editor said they had tested the cooker for several weeks, including using it to prepare food for a dinner party of nine. They reported successful results with the rice program and described cooking pulled pork and chicken in separate pots for taco fillings. These are the reviewer’s observations, not independently verified performance tests.
Two Dishes, One Cooking Cycle
The split-pot design addresses a familiar limitation of conventional slow cookers: most have one cooking space, so a separate side dish or a second main generally needs another appliance or a different cooking time. With the MultiPot, a household could, for example, cook rice or pasta in one pot while preparing protein and vegetables in the other, with each side set separately.
That may be useful for family meals and for hosting, when dishes need to be ready together or guests want to serve themselves. The 7-litre MegaZone also provides a single larger cooking area when a recipe does not suit divided pots. Those practical benefits depend on the portions, recipes and cooking times involved; the report does not establish that every meal can be completed simultaneously or more quickly.
The price places the device at £259.99, so shoppers will need to weigh the flexibility against the cost and the space it takes up. The source does not compare its price or performance with other models in a way that establishes a broader value judgment.

How It Differs From Other Cookers
The MultiPot XL combines functions associated with slow cookers and multi-cookers, but its defining feature in the report is the interchangeable pot arrangement. Ideal Home compares the multi-zone idea with Ninja’s Foodi FlexDrawer air fryer, which can be configured for different cooking areas. That comparison is about the split-zone concept, not a claim that the appliances work in the same way.
One distinction is that the MultiPot XL does not have a pressure-cooker program. Ideal Home points to Ninja’s recently released HyperHeat as the option for shoppers seeking that function. The MultiPot’s listed modes instead focus on slow cooking, simmering, searing, grains, baking and hotpot, alongside sous vide and keep warm.
The Ideal Home report says the appliance was available to buy at the time of publication, but does not give a publication date. It also records the editor’s early testing and plans to try additional functions, including hotpot and baking; those comments should not be read as completed tests of every program.
““It solves the age-old problem of only being able to cook one element of a meal at a time in your slow cooker.””
— Ideal Home’s kitchen appliances editor
Market-First Claim And Testing Gaps
The source identifies the MultiPot XL as the UK’s first split-zone multi-cooker, but supplies no market survey or comparison with all competing products. The claim is therefore attributable to Ideal Home’s report, not independently established here.
Other details are also absent, including the smaller pots’ individual capacities, the exact dimensions, energy use, warranty terms and how the appliance performs across all 11 programs. The editor says they had not yet tried every feature, so the report does not provide finished testing results for modes such as hotpot and baking. No sales response or wider customer feedback is included.
Availability And Further Testing
Ideal Home reports that the cooker is available to buy now for £259.99. The source does not specify retailers, stock levels, delivery terms or whether the price will change, so buyers should check current listings before ordering.
The next useful evidence will come from fuller testing of the remaining programs and from practical details such as portion capacity, cleaning and performance across different recipes. The report’s editor said they were interested in trying the hotpot and bake functions, but provided no timetable or results for those tests.
