I have found ( after numerous trials lol) that if I pressure cook for 20 minutes,cut in half and then brush with oil,sea salt and smoked paprika, then air fry for 10 minutes, gives me the perfect potatoe â„ïž
Girl. Thank you. You are my "GO TO " when cooking in my foodi. đ
Thanks for doing the comparison. I agree with airfrying the potato for perfect results! I enjoy my potato oiled and salted done at 400° for 50 minutes with a 212° temperature đ
This is great! We recently got the Foodi Pressure cooker/Air crisper for Christmas, and I still look at it like an Alien on my countertop! Thanks for making this video. It helps me feel less foreign to what everyone is raving about!!
Hahaha alien đœ
I have 4 Ninja things- the health grill, dual zone, flip oven and the new pressure cooker. I now realise that I've completely under-used the 1st two because of nerves so your 'alien' comment completely rings true. I'm forcing myself to go through the inspiration books with The Salted Pepper as a useful safety net - it's paying dividends now. Although I still side-eye the Ninja things they're becoming less of an enemy and more of a friend. Because of making myself try things I now realise that the last time I used the electric oven was Christmas Day!
Thanks for the video. Nice!
I have the new Foodi XL Smart Lid, so I bake potatoes on the Steam Chrisp setting - combines the best of both options!! :)
Thank you for your advice I did the airfry for 45 minutes I rubbed with oil and salt it turned out amazing skin was crispy and inside fuffy my husband loved them
That's great!
Every time I see ANY of your videos⊠1) I salivate profusely, and 2) I want to cook/eat what you just showed how to. Thank you for all your recipes and testing making our lives easier!
I'm so glad you enjoy the recipes!
Can you do an egg cheese flan with pastry base
I have been baking potatoes in the Ninja since I got mine. I use the grill grate. When the potatoes are done, the grill is heated up for my steak. It works out perfectly.
That's a great idea!
Is your grill grate the same thing as the cook and crisp layer insert or the reversible rack?
@@evitagilman9636 the latter is likely...
Thank you for this comparison video! I made baked potatoes in my Ninja Foodi after watching this and loved how easy this was!! I poked the potatoes with a fork, microwaved them for 5 minutes and then baked them at 400 for 25 minutes. They turned out perfect! So nice not to warm the oven up for potatoes!
Wonderful!
Why are you microwaving them? Itâs no need to. Ninja softens them for you.
Ion understand đ€·đŸââïž
/Bklynđ
What is the reason for microwaving first?
@@LOL-dq5iw probably cuts down on time.
@@robertmotion Cheaper to cook.
Thanks Louise. Thatâs a useful demo. đ€
This was great! I did my baked potato in the microwave, then air fried to crisp up the skin! Meanwhile the hubs did our steaks in the iron skillet since it was iced over here in Texas! I know hard to believe...But it was all great!! I do want to ask about the "skins" on your Foodies though!!! Are they bought or made at home with your Cricut?? Mines stays out on the counter 24/7, so it would be nice to jazz it up!
Really surprised the pressure cooker one wasnât better! Saves on the faff!! Great video. Youâre a genius coming up with the ideas. The kind of questions we want answers to. đ
Thanks so much! đ
Try putting them in a freezer bag. Leave the top about halfway open then add about one half cup of water. But them in the microwave for about ten minutes or a little less. The water will steam them. They will be soft and delicious. My sister-in-law Jean use to do that. Awesome video thanks for sharing. I always enjoy your video's. Stay well and safe out there.
I have never heard of that technique!
@@TheSaltedPepper Try it they are delicious. Let me know what you think. Awesome video from a very sweet special lady.
I love my potatoes done in the machine done them since Iâve had them fantastic
Yes!
Canât wait to try this in my first ever ninja foodi. I have just got the 15 in 1 and did regular sized chips (fries) on steam/air fry and they cooked quicker and were better than chips cooked in my tefal air fryer. â€ïž
Airfryers are really overrated.
I'm so glad you did this. I've been wanting to make a baked potato just didn't know which to do.. I love your videos.
Thanks!
I wanted to buy one for my daughter-in-law for xmas and wasnât too sure about it but after seeing your videos Iâm definitely going to get one. Your recipes look easy to make and delicious to eat.
I hope she loves it!
Thanks for this information on using the pressure cooker to do the potatoes. I was thinking about doing this myself thinking it would be quicker. But as you point out itâs not and it seems the air fry potato came out tops. I did my first bake potato in the air fryer and I was must impressed with it. Thanks again
So glad I found your channel! I just bought a foodi today. Iâm in love â€ïž
YAY!
@@TheSaltedPepper Try microwaving first then air fry. Save energy and time?
@@felicity5942 I hardly ever use a microwave for cooking, just a personal preference.
that was fun! and the result wasn't what i expected.
Me either! I thought the PC'd one would be done quicker!
I am getting ready to make some today & glad I saw this. I was going to wrap them with a little butter in the liner & use pressure cook. Wonder how that will turn out?
Interesting will definitely try this I love jacket potatoes
Thank you again! Your videoâs are so helpful! I have a question still; For a BBQ this weekend I would like to make a whole bunch of backed potatoes. If I put in the racks could I fill it up and still do the 45 minute air crisp at 400 degrees or do I have to change anything? Or maybe itâs better to pile them up in the basket? And how can I keep them warm? Lay them in my bbq? In aluminum foil? I know thatâs a whole different question but maybe you have an idea đđ TY!!
Pressure lid keeps food in your Ninja warm. Just make sure you have a lil bit of water in the bottom. I do it all the time with eggs. Cook and leave them in the Foodi keeping warm until I come back from gym. Love it.
/Bklynđ
Thank you for making this video! I am going to purchase a Ninja Foodi so I feel like I need to gather as much info on recipes as possible! This has been most helpful, thanks!
I just got mine and find it is just like my Instapot except waaaay more features. I live the crisping. Made ribs, great, sauerkraut with pork, great, chicken wings, takes less time than the book says. It gets an A. My only negative is it is BIG, it takes a lot of space! The box was H U G E and this is the 6.5 quart.
@@lindap.p.1337
Agree, but I got the 8 quart
You should do this same test/dual for other items...like pork, roast, Chicken wings etc.. it would be fun..
A Ninja Dual Duo...how fitting...
Thank you for sharing this, i am going to cook mine air crisp with the olive oil and coarse salt and give it a taste. First time user of the Ninja 15-1
Love your helpful videos.
May I ask what youâve covered your machines with??
Just found your video. Absolutely love it. Your natural presentation skills are so comforting! Thank you for sharing from Brighton, England! X
Thank you so much!
@@TheSaltedPepper You do have a knack for a smooth presentation, and there is a lot of charm in your enthusiasm. It is not stilted, like other presenters. More genuine...Thank you.
Iâm fairly new to my Ninja, but I would usually microwave for three and a half minutes per potato, then 20 minutes in an oven. I think I will just try swapping the oven for the airfry.
Your ninja foodieâs are very pretty
I don't like sour cream. I use ranch dressing and butter instead. My favorite thing is chopped tomatoes, onions and diced meat with butter and ranch on top. A meal in itself.
Now that I have your absolutely perfect recipe for baked potato, btw, will save me 15 min. Not that I care being retired for a long time now. How about your absolutely perfect recipe for long grain or basmati rice. Those I see here are âI do mineâ recipes which are not perfect, just adequate. I want the rice to not be sticky since I do not use chopsticks. Thx in advance.
I have a rice recipe for basmati that I put some other ingredients in, but you could leave them out and it would still be the same. I use the steam function and the rice is perfect every time. thesaltedpepper.com/homemade-rice-a-roni/
@@TheSaltedPepper how much water do we use one cup to one cup rice, dropping the vermicelli must change that.
Totally worth the subscribe! Loved the video, good interesting, food loving info!
My kitchen trifecta is Ninja 6.5 quarts, Ninja Dual Fryer, and Ninja Grill.
Learn so many tips from your channel, thanks.
/Bklynđ
I'm so glad!
Just did sweet potatoes using air crisp method they are perfect
Nice work. Sometimes simple is better.
There was a time difference though because you wouldn't have ever opened the lid on the baked one while the others water was being drained.
Great presentation! Making them tonight, will use the Air fry method. Thank you.
Hope you enjoy them!
For such a small difference but such a large increase in energy usage Iâd do the pressure cooking over the pure air frying. Personal preference of course.
When I made my first baked potatoe, I thought it would deflate like the Griswolds Chritmas turkey! đ
Can you do, (The Dollar Tree $10.00 Food Challenge), using the Ninja Pressure Cooker, that would be fun to watch.
I microwave the potato first then air fry. Very quick.
the best cooking method is the 0l701 with the inserted thermometer set at195 perfrcto 100% of the time
Would that be on the stream and crisp setting?
Thank you for your help on the taters :), You are a Ninja wizard :)
Thanks!
Thank you for your excellent video from Whitby England đđ€đ
im trying it now i'll be back with my results
Where can we get the exterior *wraps* that you have on your 302 machines ( Floral design)?
Try putting Pennsylvania pepper on a baked potato, it's awesome.
Wow never tried that. But for the most part I have been cooking my huge bakers in the microwave for like 7 minutes and done. I wonder if you could cook more then one at a time using this method. Then that would seem worth the while.
I cook as many potatoes as will fit in the air fry basket!
I steam crisp, but if you don't have the Smart Lid XL, Pressure Cook or Steam for the first 10-15 mins, then, Air Fry after that for another 25-30 mins - absolutely perfect potatoes every time!
Dumb question: is air crisp the same as air fry? My Ninja Foodi doesn't have an air crisp option, just an air fry option.
Thank you so much for your videos!
Yes, it is.
@@TheSaltedPepper Cool! Thank you.
Hello!!! I love this recipe!! Thanks for sharing. Do you have any recipe of onion soup? Thanks!!!
Thank Louise, you make cooking fun, made several of your recipes, Yum. If only we had smellivision and get a taste.đ€žđ€žââïžđ
That's so great to hear!
Japan invented a tv you can taste. Lol
Not sure how that works on a sanitary level.
I would love a tv with smell. Disney does this at their theme parks. You will smell different aromas in different areas to associate your time there.
I use the bake/roast option on my Ninja, but will be trying this
So to play devil's advocate, try microwaving the spud then aircrisping it. It takes like half the time and the results are amazingly delicious!
I have never had much luck with a microwave and even cooking, but if it works for you that's great!
Microwave for 1 min per oz..then finish in ninja to crisp if you want..no need for an hour to cook a potato..you can do it in 45 min in a regular ovenđ€·đŒââïž
Love your Ninja skins!!!
Thanks!
I love your videos!!
Ty for these videos,my ninja didn't have a guide book when bought so all my cooking has been guessing I'd bought the 2 lid ninja from Walmart was my first mistake I guess.
Thanks for the comparison! I love bake potatoesâŠwould you use the same timing for a sweet potato?
Because I don't eat the skin on a sweet potato, I usually PC them.
Did you decorate your Foodie yourself? I love them!
@ Pam Lawson
Iâm sure she will answer, but they are sticker kits. I didnât look before answering, but they were in her Amazon store which is usually linked in the description.
Just like Veronica said, I bought the stickers and put them on. I did a video on how to put them on.
I air fried a potato at 400 for 45 minutes, I took temperature and at the 43 minute the potato was 210 degree's thinking it was cooked inside I took it out of the Ninja Foodie the skin was beautiful, crispy and nice but the potato was not fully cooked inside what did I do wrong?
Stab it with a fork and cook it longer if the fork dont go easily through it! LOL!!
I have a ninja foodi..For baked potatoes its just quicker and less hassle to just do them in the microwave. Imo
Just curiousâŠwill all your Foodi recipes work the same in the Ninja Combi?
What about steam cripsping?
Hey Louise Iâm looking for soft foods that are easy to swallow during treatments. I canât take vitamins so Iâm looking for natural food high in vitamins and minerals and a baked potato, and hopefully some great hints, seems to be ideal. One thing I did notice is the slow cooker on the Ninja is twice as slow, on high, as a normal slow cooker. Any suggestions? Thanks for everything Louise.
Slow cookers have different designs. From what I understand, some of the crockpots heat from the side walls as well as the bottom. Personally, I like the slow cooker function of the Foodi much better than any other slow cooker I've ever had because it is a nice gentle heat.
@@TheSaltedPepper Well it doesnât hurt that I also have six slow cookers! Lol. Thanks
Now thatâs priceless donât you think! đ. We could make a pretty penny just selling cookers. I also have three large electric roasters as I use to cater spaghetti dinners for 150 people. Too funny đ
So does the Ninja act like a pressure cooker? If so I net it would do some great chicken or better yet veggies and roast beef . . . I have an a 8 quart Air Fryer and do everything in it. I haven't tried a baked potato yet but want to. It does great biscuits though. I flatten the biscuits out and roll them up like a croissant and it works great.
There are several Ninja appliances, but the Ninja Foodi that I use in this video is a pressure cooker and an air fryer.
I agree with Air Frying, and a little oil
I can eat it plain or with butter.
Thanks so much for this, Iâm new to the ninja foodi max. Can you tell me if I need to change temp or time for 2 potatoes or more? Iâm going with the airfry method. Thanks đ
As long as they are similar in size, you don't need to make any adjustments for making more than one.
I add oil and Larryâs garlic salt on the skin before cooking! Mmmmmmm
Yes, I do that, too! Thought I would keep this video as basic as possible though.
I watched one of your videos, you mentioned about ordering on the website the air crisp basket and reverse rack for the newer foodi 6.5 (with stainless) since they gave us that tiny rack like thing. What model # should I get for the new basket and rack? They ask on the website and I donât know what to put in.
Your information and video are so helpful. Thank you
Hi, what would the time and temp be for multiple potatoes in airfry setting? Such as 3-4 potatoes.
If they are the same size, theyâd take the same time. You donât have to change time and temp for multiple potatoes
The Salted Pepper thanks so much! I was thinking of getting a ninja foodi but wasnât sure, and your channel helped me to decide I wanted one. I bought one at Costco for a great deal 3 weeks ago and love it! It cuts the cooking time down and allows me to make crispy foods with less than a tbsp of oil. So much healthier and still taste great. I experimented last week by making breaded orange roughy, lemon pepper salmon, potato chips, and zucchini fries in airfry mode, and all was perfect. I also made dad some lentil stew in the pressure cooker. Was excited to see your post on potatoes today because thatâs what Iâm about to make with whole red snapper, and I wasnât sure on the temp and time on the potatoes. I will keep watching your channel for more ideas on things to make. Thanks!
Thanks for all the info. I find that every time I use my foodi I HAVE to take my smoke alarm off and bury it in some blankets.... đ€Ł Just wondering if anyone else has that problem too?
I have not encountered that, but the grill will set mine off sometimes.
americas test kitchen has a foolproof method. they do a quick brine. then bake till temp of around 200 then oil and bake 10 more min. I can't wait to combine that one and this one. thanks so much
I've never heard of brining a baked potato, I will definitely check that out!
@@TheSaltedPepper really quick. table salt in cold water and just roll it around a but. Love your Chanel. im new
I tried that on brine atk as well itâs really good Iâm going to combine it too
Hi Louise...I need help. I have a senior dog that is unfortunately having trouble with her stomach. I won't go in to the details, but.... I have become her personal chef, LOL. I am trying to figure out what she will eat. I have tried to make her, many meals like bland chicken and rice, but that doesn't have enough nutritious value for longer term. I am now trying to figure out how to cook chicken gizzards in my Ninja Foodie Pressure Cooker Air Fryer. I use the steam and bake, but the steam ran out immediately and the water and juices burned in the pot. Do you know what I should do and would you please do a video on steam and bake...not steam and crisp. It is hard to find info on that function alone. Thank you.
If you recommend 400 degrees for 45 minutes airfry (aircrisp) for 1 baked potato, what would be the time for 2 or more?? Thanks, great video!
Same time as long as the potatoes are relatively the same size.
Newbies with a pc have no experience with the valve like us old timers do who regulated that valve manually.
Which is why we depend on you who can impart great knowledge and be teachers! Tricks and tips help everyone and reduce the learning curve. Thanks!
@@awendaawenda8011 I agree, but we have to keep doing it over and over, because the newbies think reading and researching is a thing of the past, letâs just ask and expect them to tell us. Plop something down, take a picture of it and ask how do I fix this for dinner. What did you have in mind before you bought it⊠I could go on and on.
To save time, prick the potatoe, microwave for about 10 minutes until soft. Next place the potatoe at the top of the oven near the grill for about 5 mins. Turn until nicely browned. Done in about half the time of other methods.
I hardly ever use the microwave, but it is an option for sure.
Subscribed. Do you have a rice video in the foodi? I fail at rice all. The. Time.
Thanks
I would like to know the difference between Ninja Foodi Air Crisp fonction et Ninja Foodi Air Fryer
Microwave for 20 mins then airfry for 10 mins gives me the best results. I never oil a baked potato just lots of fork pricks and lots of salt
how would you adjust time for size and multiple tator's
The time depends on the potato size, but it doesn't matter if you cook 1 or 4, the time is the same. If your potatoes are varying sizes, you can either stagger adding them in (biggest one first) or stagger pulling them out (smallest one first). If they are close in size cook them for the same time.
We tried olive oil & salt on skin but they were still not crispy .....
Maybe we used the wrong potato type
or should have not added the oil at the very beginning ...
or should have re-oiled along the cook cycle ???
What is the trick for good crispy skins ?
Thanks cutie đ good video
Thank you!
One thumbs down? Who thumbs down a potato video? I can imagine some angry 87 year old dude named Clem stewing in his own juices thinking to himself "the next flipping baked potato video I come across is getting my wrath in the form of a thumbs down"! Seriously, its an interesting video on baked potatoes. What more do you want, Clem? Pfffft...people wield way to much thumbs down power. With great thumbs down power comes great thumbs down responsibility, Clem.
Oh..great video, btw.
đ€Łđ€Łđ€Ł
Too funny!
Glad you saw that for its intended chuckle value
6 thumbs down now. Clem must have some supportive cousins. Ha! Seriously though, my first thumbs down bothered me. Do you ever get used to it? I have a funny muckbang video with my cute dog (parody video, I dont understand the appeal in muckbang) and someone gave it a thumbs down. It bothered me a bit.
@@eatingoodinthewoods Iâm used to it. There is always one person who thumbs downs my videos in the first minute or so that I release them. I wouldnât worry about it, you canât please everyone that is for sure.
You are so beautiful. Thanks for sharing all your knowledge.
Omg how did you decorate your ninja foodie? Love them please tell me the secret
You can order the decals online for the older models. You can find them here: Amazon.com/shop/thesaltedpepper
What Would you suggest for cooking time if I wanted to do four or five potatoes at a time
great video
Thank you so much!
I am in your FB group and just saw your CZcams channel! :)
Thank you!
Where would I find the air crisp basket that you used in this video? I followed your link to your Amazon storefront and couldn't locate it there...
If you open the airfryer so that it alters when the pressure cooker is open you are stopping air fry and letting cool. Airfryer is quicker otherwise.
can silicone food trays b used in these things. excuse my ignorance but i have just bought one, and i thought it might help with the cleaning up.
Yes, you can use silicone as long as it's heat resistant and food safe.
Would you still air crisp for the same time for 2 potatoes?
I micro wave first for 5 mins then I air fry for 15 mins
ok are these better then the newer models ? I just watched the newer one on your channel
One isn't better than the other, they are just different. From the cooking I've done, both do a great job.
*********Louise******** I have a question for youâŠâŠ.Can I make lasagna in the inner ceramic Foodi pan? I want to try it without ruining $12 or more of ingredients. I could use my usual recipe that makes more than in the smaller pan you used.
You will have a very hard time trying to PC lasagna in the inner pot because of needing thin liquid and using enough thin liquid for lasagna would end up being lasagna soup, which I hear is pretty good though!
Hi, how long would I need to pressure cook 3 potatoes of the same size ie 8oz each? Same question for Air Crisping. Thanks
Each potato will cook at the same time if they are the same size, so you don't have to make any changes. Enjoy!
I have a newer model. Does it matter
