It was litrally brillwiant! Awesome eco option versus using concentrated chemicals!
I’ve been looking for a video like this I’m really impressed that you’ve put one out there. Thanks a lot can’t wait to do mine
I’m glad it’s useful. It feels so nice when you’ve given it a good deep clean!
Hi Susannah, I have recently found your channel and I love the way your videos are clear and simple to follow. I have a Ninja 15, still boxed as I am currently upgrading my kitchen, can’t wait to try it out! My old Ninja was used everyday. I cleaned it the same way but instead of pressure I sautéed boiling water to a rapid boil, turned it off and let the steam clean the coils. Also used the trusty toothbrush! The basket I soaked in a dishwasher tab overnight and then gently scrubbed with a metal scourer. Comes out good as new. Keep up the videos. Love your channel, thank you! ❤
Thanks for watching and your tips on how you cleaned - really helpful. Bet you can't wait to get your ninja out and start experimenting
Great little vid!!
I have just cleaned my ninja with this method. I used hot water, bicarbonate and a glug of lemon juice. It looked pretty clean before I started but after an hour on pressure it was done and the colour of the water was pretty ming , The rubber seal comes off and you can get behind it, great stuff thanks for posting 🤙🏻🤙🏻
I’m glad it worked well for you. It’s always surprising how dirty it is. It’s like anything, a regular clean is better than letting it get really bad.
A great job, I will do this when I get on for my self. I will now lock at your English breakfast 😊 next. Thank you. David from Northampton.
omg this is a brilliant video thanks 👌
OMG - another exceptionally useful video, thanks Suzanne
You’re welcome 😊
So far, this is the best video I've seen on cleaning this Ninja! thanks, I'll try this....
Edit: OK, I did and it worked perfectly. Though, I only did 20 minutes and it was enough
Thanks. I hope it works well for you
Thank you, thank you, thank you for this video.
It has been a game changer.
Once again, thank you and keep up the good work.
Thanks for watching and so pleased it’s helped!
Thank you for the video. My 15 in 1 is long overdue a deep clean so I will give this method a shot tomorrow and hopefully achieve similar results. Liked and subscribed.
Thank you for watching. I hope it brings it up sparkly for you! I did use a cloth and a toothbrush to remove anything that didn’t fall but it made the grime easier to remove this way. Good luck and thanks for subscribing
I will try this way next time, i usually use dish washer tablet add in pot warm up didnt do 40 mins but i will tey lemom b soda bt i do wipe most times, now so dnt build up. Bt love channel, it learnt me when you slow cook it goes to 6.00 bt watching you learnt me when it starts and only then, you can press the dwn arrow and you can take to 2.00 hrs i wouldnt of known this thankyou xx❤
Definitely going to try this, I've tried all kinds of methods, especially with the lid etc!!
Thanks for watching. I feel that it really lifted it from the lid and made it easy to clean off. It looks so much better. Good luck
Hi Susannah, came across your site by accident, so glad I did. My Ninja 14 in 1 is sparkling like new after following your cleaning video.
I am also loving your recipes and hints and tips for every day cooking, no expensive food purchases. Also super that it is British. Keep up the good work.
Thank you.
Marilyn. Scottish Borders.
Welcome to the channel and thanks for watching my videos. I’m glad you are enjoying the recipes. Always feel free to ask any questions. Susannah. Essex 😂
Thanks for the tip
No problem!
Thank you so much for this video! I have the same model andI was thinking of doing something along these lines - you saved me a lot of time experimenting. I want to try and make youghurt in mine and it needs a deep and most importantly natural not chemical clean. Will do it today 🍋🍋🍋
Thats great, I'm glad it was helpful. depending on how dirty it is you can repeat this but I find it loosens any grime and I use a toothbrush to finish off the process. Let me know how the yogurt goes, i'be not tired this yet
Thank you, really helpful, The water in my pot was just like yours!, a lot of grime came off. Really pleased with the results. I am going to give it a second clean to see if any more will come off, in the hard to reach places.
That great, glad you gave it a go and its worked. It will never be perfect without elbow grease but it's defiantly the method I'll always use for ease. Thanks for watching my video
I too use this method of cleaning my 15 in 1 and it is pretty effective. I would add though that, my understanding (from numerous posts on a Ninja Facebook page) the brown colour of the water is apparently due to a chemical reaction of the citric acid in the lemon juice and the bicarbonate of soda; it’s not a measure of how dirty your air fryer was and how much cleaner it is now. This isn’t to say it isn’t clean, it is…
The other thing I would say is that to get both, the air fryer basket and the basin/bowl really clean I would use a damp cloth with a little of the bicarb and rub that burned on grease off the surfaces of both. Yes, it takes a bit of elbow grease but, working methodically around each utensil, it will come up absolutely sparkling. This method can also be used on ceramic frying pans which have started to stick. The bicarb simply abrades away any burned on contaminants without any damage whatsoever to the surface of the utensil. When finished simply rinse away with water (hot or cold, doesn’t matter) any you can literally feel how clean it is.
Never underestimate the cleaning power of simple bicarbonate of soda.
Brillaint info, thank you so much. Yes, since I recorded this video I have also seen that about the brown water. Thanks for commenting
Impressive
Im new to your channel, I have found it very useful, Many thanks.
Thanks for watching
I just ordered this Ninja, and am giving my son my old one that has the separate lids. I will be deep cleaning the old one and doing a video before giving it to him. Thanks for the tips on cleaning the new one. I hope to keep up on my new one a bit better than I have with the old. Life is busy.. LOL! By the way, love your accent.
Hi, thanks for watching. You’ll love it, such a good piece of kit. It’s great having one lid but I’m sure your son will appreciate the old one. I’m the same, too much to do and I dread the oven clean, thankfully the ninja is much easier.
@@susannahskitchen I am on my 2nd Ninja and love them. My first one lasted about 2 years and then died. I used it about 4-6 times a week, so it got well used. I wasn't in the market for a new one yet, but my son wanted one and can't really afford a new one just yet so I found a deal on Kohls and got me a new one instead, and will pass mine to him.
Did this today. Worked great. First put some baking soda in the basket. Next added boiling water. Then added about a tablespoon of lemon juice. My air fryer does not have a pressure cook setting so I just picked the roast setting and ran for 20 min. Pulled out the grill and wiped it clean with a cloth. Also wiped down the inside of the basket. Will definitely use this method again.
Brilliant, I’m glad it still worked without the pressure
do the cooking several times. maybe a dishwasher tab would do the job as well.
i just read that aluminum gets damaged when exposed to Na2CO3. so 2 things to check. are there aluminum in the cooker and chemical formula.
could be fatal if there's metal that gets weakened and boiling water under pressure. so i would write the producer and find out.
another tip, i use my pressure cooker in the bathroom with a open window, it's a lot of moisture that you release in the house if you use it often.
I do regularly clean all removable parts of my ninja foodi including the seal, probe plug and steam cap (after each use) and I wipe around all other areas but I will be trying this for those harder to clean areas that get dirty through air frying etc. ❤
That’s great that you keep it clean regularly like this. Bet it still looks new!
How do you remove the seal off the ninja
@@danieleasie2155 Hi, it’s just pulls off. A little tricky to put back the first time but you’ll soon realise how.
Omg! My husbands always trying to clean the lid (my hand is injured) but he can’t n goes mad! Now I’ll say “let me se hmm I🤔🤔 I think it might work” and do it the way YOU showed!! Haha He’ll think I’m AMAZING!! THANK YOU!! 🥰🥰👍🏼👍🏼😂
Brilliant, take the credit and enjoy watching! Love it!
Really helpful, many thanks. How often do you clean it on average pls?
Hi, I think it really depends on what I've been cooking in it and the time I have. Once a week would be good to keep to spotless if you are using daily. However I sometimes leave mine a few week. I clean the pot and basket every times I use it so its just cleaning into the lid/fan area
Thanks for that. How do you clean the bit under the element? They should have thought about cleaning it when they made it.
I find the steam does shift some of this. I use an old toothbrush to get into the small spaces where possible.
Good Vid, KH,KS, KC.
Great. 👍 Tho please bare in mind the lid is very heavy and prone to breaking. So be gentle and support the lid in the opposite direction you apply force from scrubbing. 👍 Protect your investment.
♥
I used this method with lemon juice, boiling water and bicarbonate soda. It worked amazingly. I will not use any other method to clean the smart lid now.
I’m glad it worked well for you 👍🏻
I have heard that acidity reacts with nonstick pans and it can be unhealthy, not sure if it's true
Thank you for the tips. Right now I am having trouble with the seal. Machine kept saying “no pressure “ I clean and installed the seal and nothing any idea what I am doing wrong. Then I noticed that the top cover close to the weight pressure nut the lid is letting. Can that be the problem? I used my ninja four time a week
Hi, I'm a bit baffled because no pressure is normally a lack of liquid but the machine will tell you this. When I've had this its been to do with the lid seal and like you I've cleaned it and wiggled it but mine has then been fine. I did have a problem the other day with saying the lid wasn't closed the it was so I couldn't reach pressure. I would give Ninja a phone call about this. Unfortunately I do think the machine can be a bit temperamental. I hope Ninja can help you with this
I have just found and subscribed to your channel. I have this model and an AF400. I just wanted to thank you for the way you present your videos, they are so easy to follow and the recipes look great, you make me want to use the 15 in one more than I do. |I want to experiment with full meals at the same time, ie a roast dinner,if so any tips would be greatly appreciated.
Hi, thanks for your lovely comment and subscribing. It is definitely an experiment using the ninja 15 in 1 to create meals but it's great when you have a handful of go to meals.
I find that although the roast potatoes are nice under the roast meat I still prefer them cooked separately. If I have the time I'd rather rest my meat and then put in my roast potatoes. I like Yorkshire in the air fryer and no reason why you couldn't cook these at the same time. Maybe I need to do a roast chicken dinner in full using the ninja....maybe a video coming soon.
Thank you for your reply. I did try roast potatoes in with some pork, but never again! I do them separately as well but in the AF400, but doing them whilst resting the meat is a great idea. My 15-1 is still very clean, after your video I decided to check the AF400 and all I can say is, urghhhh yuk, someone suggested dishwasher tablets and lemon, but I am going to try your bicarb and lemon method first.
The roast chicken full dinner video is a winner for me.
Anyway, sorry to take up your time and thank you again.
@@grahambooker8383 I’d love another air fryer to use along side! Thanks for the inspo video. Working on some Christmas recipes soon for December!!
@@susannahskitchen I have been looking at air fryer ovens as well as the two Ninjas, I've gone air fryer loopy😜
If you are thinking of another air fryer, whatever you do, DONT tell your husband, he will buy you one for Christmas. My wife wanted a new Hoover so I bought her one as a Christmas present. She opened it up on the 25th, I got out of the hospital a week later.🤣
Thank you..
Have you found a way to clean the fan behind the heating element? It wasn’t covered in this video.
I tried this method after cooking lamb on steam roast, it splashed the fat everywhere inside, made a real mess!
I did this lemon juice, bicarb’ and boiling water 3 times (water turned to gravy each time) and a bit of gentle scrubbing and it’s come up nice and clean, but is there any way to really clean behind the element?
Any advice or a demo video would be welcome.
Hi, I don't think there really is a method. An old toothbrush is handy and like you say you can repeat the pressure cook cleaning method to try to break down as much grime as possible
Maybe bend a tooth brush using a lighter and you might be able to get behind the fan
Agree that the resulting water looks like gravy - personally wouldnt throw in quartered lemons - they made a mushy mess which was a pain to get off the basket... perhaps lemon juice would be a better option. What I dont understand is why in this day and age Ninja cant come up with an easier to clean inside to its product, particularly the frying basket, which seems to be made of some weird metal designed to get dirty and impossible to really clean completely. However the pressure cooking clean certainly works to a good extent.
I may try purely with the juice of the lemons next time and compare the difference. At least its a cheap way of keeping it clean but I agree that you'd think Ninja would be offering a product - they could be making even more money!
Ninja recommends water and lemon juice only.
How’s your cleaning regime working?
@@lucy7b does it, I haven’t see that
@@lucy7b I find it gets it clean, won’t look new again but it’s getting rid of any grease and residue which is what is needed
I just bought a 14 in 1 and we have great difficulty removing the anti-clog cap. How was it when you first had yours removed?
Yes it's very tricky so I have to b honest and say it doesn't come off as often as it should. Doesn't help that I have long nails!
Hello from Munich❤
Can I use this proceder to the small Ninja and take the bake button i am afraid the Dunst damage my Airfryer... thank you
Hi, This would need to be done under pressure as its the steam that helps the cleaning process. Do you have sear/saute? You could try that
Interesting that yours has that cage around the fan. Mine is only 14 months old and it doesn't have that, but otherwise looks identical. My fan blades are really filthy due to all of the air frying, and the build up inside the lid is pretty bad. I tried vinegar and water previously, but i didn't set it for nearly as long. I'm going to try again with lemon and water for longer and see if it's better.
I hope this worked better for you
Thank you for your video, is there a way to make the heating element green again please?
I think all you can do is pressure cook to loosen and then use an old toothbrush to clean the hard to reach areas
Thank you so much for your swift reply.
I got one off FB marketplace and was able to clean it using your video. It looks a whole lot better, even after only 10mins of pressure cooking, delayed release. I'll try again soon.
@@anonimos1211 great find. Sometimes I repeat the pressure cook or put it in for a bit longer to get a better clean. Good luck with it and I hope you love using it
Wow I’ve just deep cleaned my 15 in 1 according to your instructions…after 40 min and natural release I opened the lid and was amazed at the colour of the water. Anyway I got stuck in with the toothbrush and was surprised how quick and easy the gunge came off the chrome…thank you so much for this….
Glad it’s helped.
The instructions that came with the appliance for cleaning were just not sufficient. You saved my sanity. Thanks
I have The older version with 2 separate lids. Should I then use the air fryer lid and as you say simmer for hour, because if I pressure cook, my nasty lid that looks like yours won’t get clean 🥲
Oh I see…. The lid that needs cleaning is not your pressure cook one. I’d try the simmer method then. It’s amazing what the lemon and bicarb can do. Let me know how you get on
@@susannahskitchen I have the same one as this lady and the problem is if you do simmer you can’t use the lid it just bleeps as you, simmer only works with the lid off
How does the fan behind the heating pipe get cleaned? Should we disassemble the pipes?
The steam from the pressure mode will help to loosen anything in this area. I use an old toothbrush to reach as many places as possible. I accept that it won’t be perfect but if done regular it should stay fairly clean
Hi hun! my advice
Get rid of that bosh kettle!
Inside is plastic and it leaches in the water. I used it for a bit and had problems with my stomach and my cat was vomiting from that water. Don't poison yourself
Can i do the same with my ninja 2 basket air fryer?
I don't believe you have a pressure cook option on that model. I haven't got that machine but I think the crisper plates in the bottom are dishwasher safe and the dual baskets would need to be washed my hand.
I did thi and this in the pot without the basket and used the steam feature.
And how did you get on?
Can you tell me please how to cook a chicken in my ninja foodie max on slow cooking ? X 😊
Hi. Personally I wouldn’t slow cook a whole chicken as it would just all fall apart, unless that’s what you want. Steam air fry is the best method I’ve used - have you seen that video?
Susannah, just watched this video, the thing that i noticed immediately was the sound quality is so much better than your recent videos.
Not sure if you have changed anything since then.
I had complaints about the old sound so I got a microphone 🤦🏼♀️
Sorry, please ignore me, I am a pensioner, so perhaps my ears work better some days 😅😅
@@johnwelsh8737 not at all I think you might be right. I’m playing around with the sound at the moment as it seemed quieter. I’ll see how the next videos go
What about the dirt under the coil? How can we clean that ?
Hi, because you can’t really access this area the only way is through the use of steam. If you do the cleaning process once but it’s still not clean enough I would repeat the process. I use an old toothbrush to reach as much as I can to give it a little scrub. I suppose regular cleaning is the answer but like most of us we just don’t get time.
@@susannahskitchen thank you for the tips.. :)
How did you take off the seel
Hi, it just pulls off. It’s a little more tricky to put back but it can be done.
@@susannahskitchen i cant take a photo. I dont know if yours is the old gen or new gen but there are so many screws and i dont know where to start
@@GabeRutherfordFitness the rubber seal in the lid should just come off of the metal frame. No need to unscrew anything
@@susannahskitchen let me have a look. Do you have insta for me to fire it over please
I want to clean the bottom the wieght plate
Hi, mines not dirty, how did it get dirty and what’s on it? This will help me to determine the best way I think to approach it x
Far better to just use a hand held steam cleaner does the job in no time
… but you have to buy that
I scrubbed my lid with bicarb of soda and now it’s fucked. Loads of bicarb residue stuck in places I can’t reach and it burns everytime I cook anything 💀
Oh no! it's way to harsh to use it like that. Have you tried doing a few pressure cooks with just water to see if it will budge?
@@susannahskitchen I have the Ninja 9 in 1 tendercrip that has a separate pressure cooking lid. So that lid is spotless, it’s the air fryer lid that is bad because there aren’t any available steam settings on that one
@@cheekclapper4498 that makes it tricky!! Could you maybe put some boiling water in a pot inside and close the air fry lid to see if it will loosen the area. Difficult to know what to do
