If you are using the 6.5-qt. Foodi model, however, most of the recipesin this book will still work. Some recipes may require a bit less cook time or fewer shakes of the Cook & Crisp Basket. For best results,check progress throughout cooking. As a good rule of thumb, you can scale down Pressure recipes like soups, stews, and chilis by 50%when using the 6.5-qt. unit. And for recipes that call for the basket, the one included with the 6.5-qt model fits 50% fewer ingredients.14Choose Your Own TenderCrisp AdventureQuestions? ninjakitchen.com15
