Everything comes out perfect. So far bagel, fresh toast sticks and fish sticks.The square basket is a game changer czcams.com/users/postUgkxD4Qeo-HRLxMfom_PDinM_SBfes00qJsB You get so much more room than the round basket.I’ve had it for about 24 hours.Only drawback I’m having an issue with is the pulling out the basket but I know eventually I will master that as well.
You are the first You Tube demonstrator who I can really relate to. Your kitchen looks like a real “working kitchen” rather than something from a show home and your instructions are really clear. Love that you also swap out timings and ingredients in several recipies as I’ve always done this myself. Thank you, I’m enjoying watching your videos; keep up the good work.
Oh Sandra that is so nice of you !! I have always said I am a really ordinary person who has a full time job and loves cooking !! My house is a tip 😂😂 but it is clean . Thank you so much for watching xxxx
"Favourite toy, in the kitchen at least" - steady on, let's keep it kid friendly ;) Just kidding, thanks for the information as we are stuck between this and a Philips single drawer and this is great information
I have this appliance in my kitchen. It’s a useful additional implement to have at your disposal in the kitchen. But, it is not an air fryer. That is simply a trendy marketing term. It is actually a compact, powerful, versatile and efficient, fan oven. There is nothing it can do, that your conventional fan assisted oven, can’t do. But, because of it’s compact size and powerful twin fans, it cooks more quickly and crisps food with more authority. It also uses far less energy than a full size oven, saving you money in the longterm. The mode buttons are actually superfluous. They do nothing more than select a preprogrammed temperature and time, which can be adjusted to taste by the end user. A simple temperature and time controls would suffice and vastly simplify the user interface, making it more user friendly. The dual zones, sync and match features are intuitive and I think the main selling point of this device. It is rather noisy. There is also plenty of competition in this lively market place.
The mode buttons in the duel zone actually control the fan speeds , I had a chat with Ninja about this as people asked me many times and I have said from the beginning that this is a compact efficient mini oven and that’s the way to think about them , I do find because of the excellent fans and the air circulation they do cook things better and crisper than my original oven ! My oven is a large old oven !! As you say there is a lot of competition out there and that is good for the consumer , the bigger Ninja I have is very noisy when on airfry mode but it is a very useful machine as it has an internal probe for meat temperature and also is an excellent pressure cooker . I like the quality feel I get from Ninja but I do know people who feel the same about there airfryers , I believe as in all things it should always be personal choice .
Hi Susie, my Ninja arrived yesterday and I used it this evening to make Scampi and Chips, following your instructions on the chips to the letter, absolutely amazing, so happy with my New Toy! xx
Hi Craig, that is great ! , I have just come back from a weekend away at my brothers and he made chips in his ninja for me to have with lasagne, he was so happy at how good they are . We love Salmon done in the ninja , I coat it with a layer of pesto then air fryer it for about 15 mins and it is delicious! So do experiment ! And I will in the next couple of weeks do a roast for you . Thanks for letting me know xx
Thank you susie! I am very much looking forward to the roast video ❤️ I notice you like Puglia from some or your vlogs, I think you would like this book that I recently read very much! Xx
I am an older single guy living by myself I had bought myself the instant vortex mini and it has worked well for me but I wanted to make a complete meal entree and a side dish so I just purchased one of these today great idea to be able to cook two items at different temperatures and different time settings I think I'm going to like it
Good for you, I often roast in one side and air fry in the other makes a meal economical and save using large ovens . I hope you manage to cook lots of meals in it . Thank you for the comment
My Husband bought us the same one, and got it last week, love it so much! So easy to use did our first 'grill up' the other night was delicious the sausages were perfect and the bacon crispy and yummy :D Best gadget in the kitchen that we have :D
Just subscribed also ordered this model as it's not so big ! I'll do a experiment with sausages first ....thankyou so much for detailed use of it so useful best I've seen to help people actually use this !
Thank you so much for such a lovely comment . The ninja is a really handy size if you are living alone and sausages are a good way to start , then try chicken, it is amazing . Be brave and experiment, just keep checking your food . Let me know how you get on xx
Hi Susie. Interested in getting this air fryer. Could you please let me know: 1 where the power cable is located on the back and how long the cable is. 2 Are you able to lift it easily. 3 Also how do you clean the inside ie after taking the baskets out as I suspect the underside will get fat splatters on it with certain foods. 4 Would you be able to fit a while chicken in one of the baskets. Many thanks. Just found your channel and looking forward to catching up on all your videos and look forward to new ones. 😀
Hi Thanks for contacting me , the Ninja I think is heavy to be moving it about much ! I can lift it and move it but would not be happy moving it every day ! The cable is on the back and is 30 inches long so not really very long . I have no problem cleaning the two baskets at all I lift the racks that are in them and soak in warm soapy water and the same with the two baskets and dry with paper towels , they are none stick and all marks seem to just wash off , I do tend to wash them as soon as I have finished using them . I think you would get a small chicken in one basket but I have not tried it , I tend to do Chicken breasts and drumsticks or thighs. I can only say I love mine and use it even more now that electricity has gone up so much , hope this helps . I have lots of videos waiting for me to edit so keeping checking in and I will get them out . Thank you again xx
Nice video thanks, I decided to purchase one of these, had it a few days and I’ve noticed a rattling inside when it’s running, was wondering if this is normal and if yours does the same. Ninja online help has not been good to be honest.
Hi Chris, no a rattle is not normal . Sounds like it could be a fan or something is loose . I would be returning it and ask for a replacement! Hope it works out for you
The main thing I love is there are no real lingering smells at all ! I have a closed in kitchen and it really holds the smell of food , but this works so well ! Even the salmon which I used to find did smell now you can just smell it but not a lot and it goes really quickly .
Hi Evelyn , I have to be honest I have not tried many veg in it yet !! I have done baby courgettes with Parmesan over the top on a roast and they were great ! I have seen other people doing veg in it so I would think it will be fine . I am going to do more with veg as the winter comes in , at the moment we are living on salads 😂😂. Thanks for your kind comment. Xxx
No I have been waiting for them coming in and we have not seen them yet . I am getting in touch with customer services to ask if they are bringing them back or have been discontinued!
@@cookingwithsusie I did try the New York style burgers and they are very tasty and also the rump steak burgers but none of them come close to the beer burgers! X
@@In_Craigs_Eyes yes we have tried the others which as you say are good ! Yet just not as good ! Shame when you find something really nice and then they stop it !!!
Yes I have ! You need to chip your potatoes and then soak them in cold water for about 15 mins then dry them in paper towels and then I just tossed them in a table spoon of olive oil, then into the air fryer for 17 mins . They are fantastic, you can actually taste the potatoes!!
@@cookingwithsusie Cool could you do a video on it I have a small air fryer and doing chips for two I always get a few that art done wile the rest are ok
@@maryellis3661 yes Mary I will do a quick video at the weekend and take you through it , main thing to remember is try and get your chips close to being the same size , and to keep shaking your basket while they are cooking , do you have a max crisp on your fryer !! I find it so useful if I want things a little extra crispy ! Xx
Hi , yes I would agree they are not large ! The 400 model is bigger with bigger baskets . When I bought mine it was the only duel zone available in the Uk . I would love the bigger model ! Oh just to say we are in love with Scotland ! We spent a week in Sutherland and as a child most of my holidays were in Scotland , so beautiful xx
@@cookingwithsusie Thank you, I usually spend my holidays abroad, I love Scotland, but also love the sun, and we don't get too much of that up here lol
Burgers should give loads of flavour and I always love a good merlot with burgers , bags of fruity flavours but it will not fight with a delicious burger . I love Barefoot Merlot and it comes from California, it won’t hit your pocket either about £7 a bottle x
@@cookingwithsusie Peter Vella Box wine. Great bargain for 5L. Because it's sealed and last up to 2 months. FYI, I live in northern ca and not to far from Napa.
Waste of money. Plus takes up too much space on the worktop. May as well just use a conventional cooker. Those air fryers still take as long as if you use the cooker.
My conventional oven in very old and my landlord won’t let me replace it ! Uses masses of electric ! Takes 20 mins to come to temperature too . I would imagine the new ovens are quicker and more efficient. I have found my air fryer cooks this an awful lot quicker than my old oven can only speak as I find ! What model airfare did you try , just out of interest as people ask me which to avoid . Thanks for your comment
@@cookingwithsusie Oh I see. I'm sorry didn't mean to be sharp about it. Just that my cooker is not that old. Also living alone maybe not worth me getting an air fryer. Heard mainly good things about them however.
@@independentpuppy7520 I totally understand we all have to meet our own needs , if you have a good new cooker then you may well find there is not a great deal of difference! Living alone a microwave is a great friend , my husband worked away and I would just pick up a ready made meal and give it 4 minutes in the microwave job done . It is always good to look at all angles on any story and thank you for commenting x
That is there natural juices from the minced steak just come if out of them , we don’t use any oils for burgers , they sit on a little rack in the pan and a lot of fat collects in that so they don’t sit in fat either ! Very healthy way to cook . Xx
that is juice/fat that naturally occur with the meat. It will depend on the fat content of your burger. I usually buy 80/20 ground round for burgers on the grill. This gives the right amount of "fat" to meat ratio for juicy burgers. 90/10 ratio will give you a very dry, almost rice cake like patty..and 70/30 is way too much fat per meat ratio for anything.
