Ninja Foodi Smart Dual Heat Air Frying Oven Unboxing and Comparison
Vložit
- čas přidán 7. 12. 2021
- If you have watched any our other Ninja vids, you know we love our 'toaster oven'. But it is so much more and we just upgraded from the 8-in-1 (SP101) to the new 14-in-1 (SP350) which sports dual heat, a smart thermometer, and a sear crisp tray! And of course an increase in interior height. Join me for an unboxing and a side by side comparison. This model seems to be an exclusive with QVC where we bought it, but they have released the SP351 as well which is virtually the same thing.

Thank you for both videos that you made on these ovens and I have learned a lot so far. I came across your videos because I bought a15 in 1 and I wanted to see how to use it before I tried to use it myself. I do appreciate your kind soul, your informative review and how to use the oven. Thank you very much!
So kind. Thanks. I hope you enjoy it!
Wonderful video, used it as a tutorial for my new machine that I bought from QVC, so easy to understand, thank you so much!
Thanks for watching and commenting! You are welcome and I hope you enjoy it.
Excited to see many of your cooks. You are so through and easy to understand
Thanks!
Thanks for the clear and helpful side by side comparison.
Glad it was helpful! BTW, It seems you have a Cav. Did you see my dog Waffles?
Great tutorial. Got this model for Christmas. Cant wait to use it.
Wonderful! Enjoy.
Thanks Len. Ninja Foodi is on my Amazon Prime Day list because of your reviews. Can’t wait.
Cool! If it works to do so, please consider using my link. Gives me a no cost to you commission. :)
Thanks for the thorough review. I'll be purchasing the 13 in 1.
nice. I hope you enjoy and watch the other videos where I try various features while cooking.
Thank you !!! It was a present this 2022 Christmas 🎄💃🏻Tomorrow i will start using it
Hope you like it!
I just came across your video as I just purchased the 15 in 1 and felt a little intimidated so wanted to see how you use it lol Thank you so much as you did a great job and will use your recommended silicone mats and precut parchment paper for mine too.
Glad I could help! I hope you enjoy it and please check out my other videos.
Thanks for the video. I especially appreciate that you informed us that the back panel does not open for cleaning like the earlier model. That is good to know.
You're welcome! Glad that specific feature report was useful. Despite it missing, I love this oven so much more than the older model as the sear plate is a game changer.
Very informative! Thank you
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching
I subscribed cause I just got one of these, can't wait to use it.
Nice. Welcome. Gonna post a new video shortly. I hope you find all my cooking demos to be helpful.
Thank you, great job.
Thank you too! I appreciate your watching and commenting.
Thank you for this video. I got this for Christmas and I took it out of the box and haven’t used it yet because I’m intimidated at having to figure it out, it almost feels like it has too many features. Your tutorial is very helpful.
Yup. Can be a bit intimidating. Just do little things at first like toast or frozen pizza. Baby steps. :)
I feel the same way.
@@LenBanks Your video has helped me to turn it on. I was also intimidated to start using it. I am77yrs old and wanted an appliance that does it all. I am ready to start using it now. Thanks.
@@pegguglielmi9265 yay! You can do it. We gave one to my 88 y/o mother and she uses it all the time.
I can’t thank you enough for this……..I was so frustrated about this machine I was ready to throw it out the window! I’m going to check out your other videos! I’m was t sure I could use my Pyrex dishes…….thank you so much.
Glad I could help. Please don't throw it out. Other than the cleaning drawbacks some complain about it is a dream to use! So functional! Just take your time to learn it. Think of it mostly as 'just an oven' and it should take some of the stress away and then play with some of the additional features later.
Thank you for your review. I'm currently shopping and was considering the SP101, but now I'm torn between the SP101 vs SP301. I really liked the additional cleaning capabilities with the flip open feature of the SP101, but I also like the additional capabilities and increased size of the SP301. If you had to choose, which one would you opt for?
Well there is some humor here as I did choose to upgrade. ;) I like the larger size and admittedly don't care a whole lot to keep it pristine inside. I like the flat nonstick sear plate just for general cooking even though I have not yet seared anything. And the height was an issue sometimes so the larger size is great. hope that helps. LOVE YOUR SCREEN NAME!!!!!!
Thank you for the side by side ❤️✅✅✅✅🔥🔥🔥
Most welcome. Now that vlogmas is done I will work on some more review demos.
Best Buy have different model it’s 11/1 instead no thermometer no reheat no dehydration mode other than that is the same
@@7motion985 yes, it seems many of the various models are still available. buy the options one wants.
Thank u for showing me I just brought mine
I hope you love it. Thanks for watching
I found so many versions of the Foodi XL model and decided to go with the SP351 as it is actually on sale and has all the features. Mom is going to love it!
Great! Have her check out All my vids!
Very helpful video. Thank you. Does this come with a sheet pan or cookie sheet?
Thanks! Yes the sear pan works for that.
I wanted to buy the emeril 10 in 1 french door one. It has a "rotissire"! But honestly im really only looking for these things for a larger suface cook area to air fry.
This seems to have a larger base for the air fryer, but not having used a dedicated air fryer, I am not sure how it compares. I feel it is fine, but as it also is an oven and grill, etc there might be some compromises. Just keep that in mind.
Thank you so much good tutorial. My husband just gave me this one and I am interested to
Know how the thermometer works and also some recipes. Congratulations
Yay. Hope you enjoy. I have a bunch of other videos that should be useful. The steak video shows the thermometer function as does the pork roast. Hope they help!
@@LenBanks thank you 😊
I’ve just bought the 8 in 1 I’m single so ideal but need a bench installed where my cooker is or another cupboard as I’m going to get single a hob for things re water m. Then I can put it there. I also have a 7 in1 / 15 in 1/ their blender/ XL 6 in 1 all good for me. Currently doing tomato n lentil soup in the 7 in one which can act as a base for other meals too.
nice.
Thanks for sharing! I have the Ninja Foodi 15-in-1 Smart Dual Heat Air Fryer Flip Oven with/ Probe. Seems to be a good oven with the exception of the toast option. Toast looks great but, is extremely hard. Maybe it's due to the Toast option removing all of the moisture out of of the bread. Any ideas why? Thanks again
I would try changing the toast settings. I don't have that problem. You can reduce slice number and darkness. Toast is the near daily use for us and again, never have hard slices for us.
I find that baking doesn’t take quite as long, so I usually reduce time by a few minutes. I can always bake it a little longer after if it’s not quite done. I’m assuming it’s because the heat is concentrated in a smaller space.
Thanks for sharing! I found that to be the case as well. Not the case with the 8-in-1.
I now see 10 in 1 xl , 13 in 1, 15 in 1...so many choices!!!! 😳
yes, pretty amazing they have so many models in a short time. Curious if they will keep producing them or availability is stock only. But nice little machines!
I am sorry to see that Ninja Foodi ovens have gone the way of Dewalt, making models that look the same. So similar are they that it is easy to order to wrong one. I was in the process of ordering my own "9-in-1" model and almost ordered the (non-flippable?) SP101. Ninja, please stop the confusion. THANKS for the video Len, I had no idea there was a new model adding to this madness. You saved me Thumbs up for sure.
you are welcome. All of the models that are of this low flat design are flippable, but yes they keep adding features making them 9 in 1, 12 in 1, 15 in 1 and someday 135 in 1. LOL. I don't think all the pre-programmed features are all that significant. But the sear plate is what makes this a game changer from the 101.
Hi Len:
At 9:23 you mentioned the width and depth, but you didn't mentioned the height at that point.
Would a casserole with a lid fit? I still use my old Corning Wares, I can't live without those.
Great video! Straight to the point. No mumbo jumbo or annoying background music. Thanks!
Nicely done! 👏👏👏
Thanks. So to do casserole bakes and such we remove all trays/racks and put the wire rack on the bottom wheee the sear plate normally goes and that allows slightly more than 3.5 inches height clearance. I think the lid wouldn’t work but foil might depending on the bakeware.
Hi, thanks for the review. Any tips or tricks before flipping it up?
Thanks! Great question. Other than making sure sear plate and basket are clean, I’d recommend wiping off the crumb tray so seeds and crumbs don’t collect at the back.
I bought the 13 in 1 oven a while ago and have been to nervous to use it. I’m very excited to see you bake a potato but I would also love to see you sear a steak. That is one of the reasons I bought this oven as my full size ovens broiler in basically on the ground. What a stupid design flaw. I want to thank you for doing these videos as they are so helpful. I hope to set mine up soon and start to use it. I see your oven is under your cabinets. Do you have any issues with too much heat hitting your cabinetry?
Really? Use it! Even if you don’t do air fryer meals and such. Cook those tray bakes or toast or pizzas. We use ours nearly everyday! Thanks for watching and commenting!
I think they are designed for counter tops with upper cabinets. No issues of heat.
hey there, following up. I just posted a video on baking a potato and searing a steak! czcams.com/video/74Ytx3l79dg/video.html
Where do you buy the silicon mat? When shoukd you use silicon vs parchment paper? I just got this NEW model too, so looking for suggestions on liners, mats, etc. Brand new to air frying as well.
Hi. Welcome to the ninja foodi! I have a link in the description for an Amazon affiliate storefront of items I have shared in my videos. The parchment and silicon are mostly interchangeable. I find I use the mat more. But when using the sear plate I only would use the parchment if I use anything.
Just got my ninja and still learning the ins and outs and your videos are very helpful. I've heard people have used it to do a frozen pizza and wings at the same time but can't find any videos. Can you do that one? :) Also, I see you use parchment paper but could a silicon mat work just that same?
hi, not sure about doing wings and pizza at same time. I guess if you have enough room. but on the newer models the sear pan is considerably lower than the air fryer basket. so perhaps do them tiered. But then you have juices dripping on the pizza. Maybe? As for parchment or silicon, do have links for the black silicon mats. I use them for basic baking (shown in baking cookies video), but there are times I feel parchment is best. As for legit silpat, not sure if they make a square. I guess you could cut it.
@@LenBanks thank you! Learning a ton from your videos and loving my ninja now. I actually did a pizza and wings last weekend for the game. Did frozen digorno and frozen wings from Costco which doesnt have any sauce but did drip a little juice on the pizza which was no biggy. Used frozen pizza setting. It preheated just a little bit then was ready. I added pizza to bottom sear plate and put wings in basket on top rack. Fit perfect. Cooked for 20 mins and turned out great! 😃
@@cynthiamonreal9652 nice, well done you!
I'd love to see you try to clean that oven after broiling a chicken or airfrying some wings. Great on dehydrating, roasting non "spaltter" foods, and toasting.
Ha! I did a video on that. ;). I hope you enjoy it.
Would you make a video on how to deep clean the Foodie oven? I use it every day and I love it but It seems I cant keep it clean, any advice?
Will do!! Have talked about some tips on other videos but do plan to do a specific video
Hello I have a question for you. Have you cooked chicken wings in this? in the air fry basket? I’m concerned…will the drippings go down onto the heating elements at the bottom and it would be a mess to clean up? Was wondering if you could have the seer plate at the bottom to catch anything that drips down from the air fryer basket. Or can it be placed on the second shelf? 🤔 Will that affect cooking the chicken wings if there’s something blocking it underneath?
Yes. Keep the sear plate in. The instructions state to do so for that reason.
Also can you put any regular baking pan in these units that you would use in a regular oven? Or do you have to specifically use the pans provided by Ninja?
Hi, thanks for watching and commenting! You can use ANY of your own cookware as long as it is oven safe and fits.
I received this for Christmas but I’m still trying to learn how to use it. Could you show how to cook with the thermometer please.
Thanks for watching and commenting. I did two vids already that use the thermometer. The steak and baked potato and the full meal. Although the second one shows some difficulty I ran into. I hope you watch and learn to enjoy the oven!
Does anyone know if you can use the air basket and something on the bottom at the same time?
I think you should be able to as you have the sear plate/pan inserted as a drip tray already. BUT you will have juices from what is cooking in the basket fall onto whatever else you might want to cook. So keep that in mind. The flavors may not work well together that way.
Hello! New subscriber here and also recent owner of the qvc dual oven with temp probe. Im curious have you noticed the oven light slightly dims back and forth roughly 10 times if you manually turn the light on during cooking?
I love this oven so far but the light changing in intensity is becoming mildly annoying when checking the food, i was wondering if this be an accidental factory default or not. Thank you again!
hey! welcome aboard. I hope you will give our channel a look around and enjoy the non-food content as well. As for the light, I have not noticed that but on my previous model I do recall some fluctuation and attributed it to some power surging that goes on with the fans or heating elements.
@@LenBanks thank you! Yes it only seems to slightly get dimmer then return when i hit the light button during cooking. Not gonna lie i found your channel while trying to look up ninja appliances 😅
@@TheOnlyChrisB Cool! I'm glad Google put my video forward. There are a lot out there, but I seem to have a lot of people watching and commenting. I really do like this appliance. Most things just take up shelf space but we use this one a lot.
I wish I would have purchased this unit instead of the 8 in 1, but i purchased the 8 in 1 for 128$ new due to some discounts and credits, and I couldn't have done that with the dual. So I'll live with it. so far I've made it work, just needed 1 more inch though when using that fry basket for chicken thighs. Chicken Breasts are not even on the cooking menu for the SP 101 Because of clearance issues.
I understand the disappointment, and yet it still is a great machine. And you got a great deal too. So enjoy what you make in it! And thanks for watching and commenting!
I’ve made bread in my ninja but it’s not really able to accommodate the height when it rises. I used a very flat tray to let it spread out. The newer model with the extra inch sounds good. Any tips for cleaning the glass on the oven door?
A mr clean magic eraser works great on the glass
@@LenBanks thank you
Does the mini 8 in 1 use less energy than the 10 in one thanks
I don't know. Not an electrical engineer. But I suspect on some features like the dual heat it very well might.
I just saw a 15 in 1 model on QVC what extra two functions does it have?
I am honestly confused. They don't list the functions that make up 15 and the model number they list in the contents is the SP351Q which is the same as the 13 in 1 that I bought. Something doesn’t seem right. On Ninja's site the 13 is not a model SP301. But I just checked and my model is the 350 series. Sigh. Sorry I couldn't have a more definitive answer.
I thought this was a good video, thanks for doing it. I'm wondering if you have tried making a grilled cheese sandwich on the griddle function
Not yet but will. Gonna make a video of trying new foods and using the sear and griddle features.
@@LenBanks Thank you.. wondering how to use the griddle feature. Do you use the sear plate for that? New subscriber here and kind of intimidated.
@@gigilepore9616 thanks. Have not tried that yet. Yes the sear plate is used, but thinking pancakes in the 'oven' seems a bit odd. But certainly grilled cheese would work. In the next couple weeks I am going to produce a new vid testing all these different features. Thanks for subbing!!!!
I just subscribed and appreciate your video. I haven't used mine yet. It's out of the box and looks great on my counter. Just need to get the nerve to use it. Your video will help.
@@sherrysterner5276 Thanks! I just released a video on making homemade pizza and more vids release this weekend. It's a pretty easy to use oven and I hope this helps you to use it to the fullest.
Could you bake a spatcock chicken in the SP350model
I would think on the sear plate it could be done. Particularly a smaller bird. Might want to tent the top with a bit of foil though
Hey Len, I’m so torn. Do you think there really is a massive difference between the 15 in 1 vs 8 in 1?
I own both now. My workhorse for the kitchen is the newer model as the sear plate is a game changer. If you only plan to use for toast, cookies and small bake dishes then no need to upgrade. But for steak, meats, pizza, and more the sear plate is with the extra price
Looks like you upgraded from the 8 in 1 model, which is what I just purchased from QVC. Works like a charm.
Hi, thanks for watching and commenting! Yes we upgraded from eh 8-in-1 and LOVE it. Absolutely no need to 'really' upgrade. Just a few differences that we will appreciate.
I also just bought it from QVC and used your videos as a tutorial, thank you so much!
@@Gemini.5 I purchased one from QVC recently, but have not used it yet. I was hoping you can do a video to see if eggs can be cooked in this.
I would not have thought so, but looking at the inspiration guide I did see references to eggs done using the griddle setting. I'm not sure how I feel of the griddle concept as managing opening and sliding out all the time to monitor and flip things seems odd. But I will give it a try.
@LenBanks what are the main reasons to upgrade
Do u know what the difference is between the 15 in 1 that the other ones don't have?
I am not sure what all the various features are. It is my thoughts that most things can be done in any of the ovens except a few things. They just kept creating preprogrammed things to make it sound fancier. ;) The important change I love is the sear plate vs the SP101 black pan.
What did you bake the cookies in because that’s not the sear plate that comes with it is it?
no, I baked them on the wire rack using the AIEVE Air Fryer Non-Stick Oven Liners I showed on an earlier video.
but I have since baked them on the sear plate with a sheet of parchment
Just watched your 8 in 1 and curious how the 13 in 1 compares. I don't see this as an upgrade just bigger for those that need it. I also prefer the look of the original. Its not available in the UK as of Sep 2022 and before I purchased the 8 in 1 I wanted to make sure I wasn't missing out. My presumption for availability is that Ninja is testing the waters to see how well it does. Thanks for posting.
I’m not sure the extra presets are all that worth it but what is serious improvement is the sear plate and size increase. I’m happy we upgraded.
Hi. The bigger size is still not available in Oct 23 as far as I know. !?!?
Can you make a video testing bake vs rapid bake? Maybe with a couple different dishes?
That’s a great idea. I have some plans coming up so the video will be later towards March. Thanks
Can you use this pretty much like your regular oven? For instance, making a casserole? Thanks!
Absolutely! Just need pans that fit. We use it that way all the time. As you watch other videos of mine cooking various foods you’ll hear me talk about that as a benefit.
@@LenBanks thank you! I just got a 13 in 1, but haven't used it yet!
Have you tried Homemade or frozen rolls? If so what temp and time
I have not yet, but if you think of this really just like an oven but smaller just follow recipe or package instructions.
What did you use to bake the cookies on. Doubt I would because I bake way more than that when I bake cookies and they are home made, just curious
Hello. Thanks for watching. I often cook on precut parchment or some black silicone sheets that are also cut small. Both are linked in the affiliate Amazon store in the description.
@@LenBanks Thanks, I have had my oven for about two years and only used it twice because I wasn't sure about how to use it. Any suggestions for a cookbook?
@@nancythurber7782 it comes
With a manual and mini cookbook that should help get you feeling comfortable with it. But truly it is just a small oven. Anything you make in a big oven can be done in this if the pans fit. Need to adjust sometimes for closeness to the heating elements but please don’t be nervous about using it. :)
I can’t seem to find the version that comes with the thermometer. Is that part of a “special edition”?
hmm, honestly I don't know. That might be a partner edition with QVC which I got and likely the 15-in-1 on the Ninja website will be the general one. Just speculating.
Hi. It is on QVC and the item# is K54501. The price is $299.99 with free s&H. Hope this helps
Can you say whether or not the top elements on the original ninja turned red during toasting? I’m asking because it seems like they don’t turn on while toasting one piece of bread. The top of the bread doesn’t toast, only the bottom toasts. Do you have any feedback? Thanks in advance!
I don’t have it any longer but I can say that both sides of my bread toasted.
@@LenBanks ok. Thanks!
When will they let us purchase 14 in 1? I've looked and it won't show us.
I got this on OVC and they had multiple colors to choose from. On the Ninja site, the 14-in-1 doesn't seem to be listed but a 15-in-1 says unavailable at the moment. I think it will be basically the same one packaged differently. These companies do targeted partnerships and packaging sometimes. I think this might be one of those.
Just curious how do ppl handle old kitchen appliances? i mean they are not exactly Spoilt but when they upgrade to a newer mode, unless they have someone to donate it to.. or sell it 2nd hand, its like a headache to dispose of it.
to simply throw it away seems a waste.. to keep it.. is also a space constraint..
to sell it or give it away is ideal, assuming you have someone you know to accept the older used model.
Yes the waste of our disposal culture is very sad. We donated to someone.
I donate anything or if it’s still in good Nick sell it. I intend on buying a single or double hob and selling my cooker and putting a cupboard where it was to store my equipment and a double bench to use the oven on it.
Also which is cheaper on electric the XL 6 in 1 or the 8- in 1 oven thanks . Us in UK have the highest energy costs in the world which is compounded by being single. Thanks for all the advices that you give.
Does the newer one take longer to heat up? Longer to toast?
No, in fact just the opposite. what used to be a 4 minute toast cycle for my preference is now a 3:30 cycle.
@@LenBanks AWESOME!
How do you get rid of the plastic chemical smell when you first buy it?
I suggest running it at 500 degrees for a while - maybe 15 minutes. That should do it. I think the direction booklet says something to do the first time and that is likely it or very similar. Check that out.
Hi, will it fit a loaf pan for banana bread or meat loaf?
Hi, thanks for watching and asking! So it does fit the loaf pans I have. I moved the wire rack to the bottom. but the pan is very close to both the bottom and top heating elements. I am not certain if that would be an issue for breads. Maybe not as much for meatloaf. I just might need to make a video! LOL.
@@LenBanks Thank you.
love the video and you did a great job my question can u sear hamburger and use the air basket to make french fries at the same time ty
hi, thanks! great question and a situation I have not tried. My guess though is that might not be possible. the air basket is high enough above the sear plate it should work, but I imagine grease splatter below fries or possible temp differences for searing and air frying might not work well. but certainly worth a try.
I am very interested in the 14 and 1 model. Im having trouble finding it to purchase it.
Not sure about that one. I know that they branded some of the names specifically with OVC, perhaps other stores. Amazon has the 8 in 1, the 13 in 1, and the 15 in 1. I have them shown on my amazon affiliate store along with other product we recommend. www.amazon.com/shop/lenbanks
I wanted to get the dual oven, but it doesn't have a sear plate.
This is the dual oven with the sear plate. Are you speaking of a different model?
@@LenBanksLen, I think this has a different, less nice sear plate than the SP351. I wish the were the same. I have an SP351 and wanted to upgrade to the double oven. Thank you!!
Hi Len, I live in UK so I can only get the SP101 version. My question is... would the sear plate from the SP351 fit in the SP101 ?
I actually called Ninja support yesterday to ask of the sear plate could be purchased separately and used in the SP10. They really want to dissuade one from doing so. I am not certain it even fits, but will give it a try. I still have the SP101 in my possession. Of course none of the programmed features are built in, but I suspect you can do a lot with preheat and air bake. IDK. But I am surprised Amazon doesn't make the newer model available to you in the UK. Has Ninja just not released a version with the different plug and power supply?
@@LenBanks Thanks in advance for checking - The only flip available in the UK is the SP101UK (and SP101EU in Europe)
Hello Len, did you get a chance to check ?
@@peterstangelo8627 Hello! I just gave it a try and sadly they made it ever so much wider to prevent it from sliding in properly. :(. BUT...I did a search on Amazon and found this cast iron griddle plate that should work. Place it on the rack and just make sure to preheat the oven at temp for about 8-10 minutes to ensure it is truly hot. If you decide to buy it, please use this link to grant me a small bit of commission at no cost to you. Griddle Plate to use in the SP101: amzn.to/3FRQN4E. I hope this allows you a bit more cooking options!
@@LenBanks Thank you ever so much for checking that - great idea on the Griddle plate! -though before I order it, I am going to write an email to Ninja (international) first to ask when the SP350 series might be available. 😀
Do I need to put something under this oven to protect my counter looked at a lot of videos on this item and nobody says anything about protecting a counter or if you need to
Perfectly safe as is.
@@LenBanks thanks Len I already have one of these units and I'm so skeptical about using it on my Corrigan countertop I don't want to ruin it I know some toaster ovens get pretty hot
@@donnakucsan5620 I don't think you need to be nervous about it. It is on raised feet and modern counter tops should be able to withstand heat that is not directly placed on it say like a boiling pot of water.
How can you clean this on the inside?
It takes time depending on the level of clean you want. But it is awkward and difficult. I use magic erasers though.
Not sure how a baked potato was an issue with the sp101. Remove the fry basket and the baking tray and put the potato on the baking rack. Just like you'd do in a normal oven. You can fit huge potatoes in there.
Glad you feel it can be done. Many others were feeling it couldn’t be and kept asking me about that. I thought the shorter inside of the older model would char or dry out the top of the potato. Thanks for for offer your perspective on this!
Will it fit a meatball sub?
Hi there. I guess it depends on the size, but honestly I have not heard of putting a sub in the oven. Do you mean to reheat one instead of a microwave? In any case, unless it huge, it should fit, just lower the rack if needed.
Hi is the SP351 still going strong?
yes! I love it. I haven't made new vids lately as we are making some big changes in our lives soon to be announced here on the channel. But meanwhile we use the Foodi daily!
I’m in the U.K. I can’t see this model in any shops or online. Maybe later it will make its appearance over here.
It doesn’t seem to be here either. I think it was an exclusive design partnership with QVC, a shopping channel. But the 13 in 1 is very similar and available and I understand a 15 in 1 has been announced.
@@LenBanks No sign of the 13 in 1 or 15 in 1 here. I will wait patiently.
I have the 13-n-1...I love it but can u really cook steak?
Lots of people broil steaks and this would be the same thing. I plan to try it soon. I will share.
Great video! How to do bacon on this machine
Thanks, and thanks for commenting! It just so happens I made a video on bacon. It was the previous model, but would still be the same. czcams.com/video/ixGGBl3odNA/video.html
This is the second video now that I am watching in a row of yours and there is no link in the description box for the parchment baking squares. I can look it up in Amazon but you won't make a commission then. Please insert the links because there are 2 items I would like to buy and no links to buy them.
Hi. I don’t have the item link in the description. Instead I have an Amazon store link an there you will find all the products. Thanks for thinking of me!
So I'm guessing that the sp100 is the original one then? I was trying to find a video of cooking a frozen Family size Lasagna meat sauce in the sp100 Ninja Foodi toaster oven...any suggestions from anyone...I'm so very new to the whole ninja Foodi family...lol..don't want to not only burn the food but most of all I don't want to burn down the house...smh...lol...
;). Burning down the house is less
Likely than burning food. It seems to me if the lasagna fits you can make it in the foodi. You can do up to 12x12 or so. You’ll definitely want the foil on top till just the end.
I was getting buyers remorse from buying the sp101, because the sp301 looks way better... but the lack of opening on the bottom for easier cleaning makes it less attractive.
The 101 is perfectly fine!!! And the opening side is really nice. That is the machine I fell in love with. That said, I do LOVE the sear plate. Really. So in time perhaps upgrade. Or do what we did, gift to an adult child and upgrade for yourself sooner. lol. Even with the extra opening, cleaning is difficult. Especially for large hands like mine.
Did you mention the Model Number? I am sorry if I missed it but can you please give it again?
If Amazon has it, can you please give the Link as well? I can't seem to find the product anywhere by typing in just "Ninja Foodi 14-in-1 Smart Dual Heat Air Frying Oven". A Model Number is needed I think.
Thank you very much.
Hi. The link in the description is for the 13 in 1. This model I am coming to realize is an exclusive with QVC. On ninja’s website it shows a 15 in 1 is coming. Hope that helps. Other than the probe thermometer I don’t think much is different with the 13 though.
@@LenBanks Thanks very much Len. Your review is a great help anyway. I am in the hunt for one of these and will rely on this review while making my choice. I don't think I have any need for the thermometer and so, the 13-in-1 should serve my purpose. That model is SP301 I believe.
the inability to remove the bottom lid/plate to clean is certainly a bummer, I wonder why they removed the ability. its really convenient.
Agree. :(
So....could you do a baked potato? Why would you leave that out?
I did a special video just for that. I hope you’ll watch. :)
Can’t even find that model ☹️
thanks for commenting and watching!! I got this on OVC and they had multiple colors to choose from. On the Ninja site, the 14-in-1 doesn't seem to be listed but a 15-in-1 says unavailable at the moment. I think it will be basically the same one packaged differently. These companies do targeted partnerships and packaging sometimes. I think this might be one of those.
I purchased mine in QVC and they have different colors.
@@Gemini.5 what color did you get? They were all nice, but as you saw already, we got stainless silver
Thanks for the review! For those who have this, do u ever feel the need to upgrade to a bigger size? The oven seems too small/short and not convenient enough to be able to bake multiple foods or use two racks at the same time.
No I don’t feel that way at all. I guess I have the mindset that I’d use my regular oven. I see this only for small items. But have been surprised how much it can hold. Thanks for watching and commenting!
@@LenBanks ah, thanks! It does look like it’ll hold a lot of food. I guess it’s down to what I will mostly use it for.
Is this better then the 8n1 ?
There are certainly more features and the Sear Plate is far better than the black baking pan. But if you are happy with the older model, it will serve you well! We have both and still use them. (different parts of the house)
@@LenBanks thank you and can you cool eggs on here ?
@@strongman3484 I'm not sure what you mean by that. This is an oven to heat things. I have kept things on the top to while cooking other things to keep them from cooling down too much while other items of the meal were cooking (see the video on using as a second oven for holiday cooking). Hope that answers, if not ask again to help this guy understand. ;)
@@LenBanks sorry about that I mean can I cook eggs in the ninja like for a sandwich
@@strongman3484 ahh. Yes you could on the sear plate but I would do a stovetop if you have one. So you could easily flip with a spatula
parchment paper is actually not recyclable! It is sprayed with a thin layer of silicon.
oh wow, good to know. I just figured since it was paper it was. Thanks for clarifying for me.
@@LenBanks no problem! I use to compost it and that was wrong too 😔 Straight to the trash now haha
The original is dual heat as well
The original has elements on both the top and bottom, but they do not work independently of each other as the newer models. That is what the dual refers to.
Could you please advise how to cook frozen chicken nuggets?
Follow the directions on the package. Place the nuggets on the sheet pan, set the temp and time for bake and press start. That easy. I often do fish fillets and fires at the same time on the pan. So try fires with your nuggets. ;)
Thank you Len!
Nuggets would be good on air fry too. Nice and crispy.
Is steak good on this foodie
Yes. I think so. The sear plate does well. I did a video on it with potatoes as well
But what about the potato?
check out the video I made just on baked potato and steak! It works so well.
Has anybody cooked bacon or sausage in the NInja?
I just happened to have made a video. ;). Best Bacon in the Ninja Foodi Oven!

Please make bacon wrapped shrimp
sounds yummy. I'm in the middle of a move so no new ninja videos for a while. but I will be back with some good foods and will put that on the top of the list.
Pizza
:)
This damn thing can't work in the morning though. All people will be waiting for breakfasts adults, kids just waiting 10mins for preheat??? But anyway thanks
I'm not entirely sure what you are referring to. Not sure how the time of day matters. But you are right, all the settings on the left side column take a decent while to preheat and make the sear plate ready to sizzle. But the bake, airfry, toast on the right are almost immediate. Depends on what your cooking needs are.
why do ninja and others treat the uk like a 3rd world country??????? all we have in the uk is the 101 and there is no way on earth i am buying that now that i know there are superior models out there.
cuisinart are the same. they have just released the toa60 toaster/airfry oven in uk. i have watched US reviews on this that are 5 years old. again no way would i buy one as its so outdated.
do these companies think we are stupid or we dont have internet in uk (which makes them stupid). its so frustrating. wish i lived in US
Well I am so sorry about this situation, but of course I don't know the answer. But I understand a good rant vent now and again. ;)
@@LenBanks thanks for the understanding Len 😉
Do you use the sear plate as a drip pan when you air-fry and would you use the parchment paper with it also?
Thanks for watching! Yes sear plate is used for drips. It’s non stick and washes easily but yes parchment helps with clean up and I do use it.
