    instruction books clearly says that top row is the hottest, so makes sense to put chips there and rotate the trays and if not cooked long enough (as on this demo) just cook it for a bit longer!

    I've got one. You have to tie the chicken legs and wings as it stops it rotating. The wire trays are very easy to clean, that did surprise me. I am still coming to grips with no basket.

      The Tower is great because it has 3 tiered racks you can use to cook multiple ingredients at once. The Ninja Foodi is also great for bigger one-pot dishes and also has racks to cook across multiple levels, too.

      you can do a small chicken in it but you'll need to tie it up/truss it, its great for fries, chicken nuggets and fish finger etc.
      It's a bit hit and miss for steaks as i like them medium rare so would need to get a pretty thick steak so not to cook it al the way through and still render the fat, been experimenting with belly pork and need to do a couple more tests to get good crackling.

    @SeasideBandit Před 8 měsíci +1

    I would have to disagree with the cleaning. I have, or did use a basket air fryer, and i found it an absolute nightmare to clean. Also, once you've got burnt on oil on it, it is virtually impossible to remove. I've not had a single problem cleaning the racks with this air fryer. I got this one to replace the basket air fryer, not just because it was cumbersome to clean, but also because the non-stick coating had started to peel away. Admittedly, it was a 50 quid Blaupunkt from B&M, and i have used it for about 3 years.

      A few things to note. A small air fryer is about 1.5Kw and the larger 2 zone\drawer ones can be 2.5kw so this ones not way out compared to others. The advantage to air fryers is they'll warm up a lot faster and use less power while cooking. Probably cook your meal for less than the cost of pre-heating a conventional oven!

    Pleasant presentation but music too busy.
    Use a drip tray/a string to tie chicken/I haven't tried using the kebab skewers for whole chicken and wings but it may work/chips are better cooked in a rotisserie barrel/turn chip trays around as they cook quicker at the back of the oven/top tray can cook too quickly and burn edges/jumbo sausages are good from the barrel/wings stick to barrel sometimes and make it harder to clean//you can see the food cooking/even tho it's 11L a basket fryer can be filled with more food and is handier/saves money on electricity/movable so can save on lingering cooking smells by plugging in for example in garage/you can use recipes not for air fryers just reduce the temp by 25ºF to 50ºF and reduce cooking time by 20%/Specs are 11L/2000w/up to 200 temp.
