By far the most TV ready presentation I've seen! So professional. It's like watching QVC without any of the annoying banter and overselling.
Love your presentation, so factual, no nonsense , just great to watch .
Best XX
I love my ninja pressure cooker/air fryer please donât stop making creations with it. Our 23 year old son in the Navy just bought the 6.5 quart foodie today because I talk about mine all the time!
Oh, no worries! The Foodi PC & AC is my favorite appliance and I have tons of recipes in the works for it!
We just got the NF XL air oven pro and we love it. So far everything weâve made comes out awesome. So glad we waited vs the digital oven. Highly recommend it.
Totally agree! I just got it as well and love it!
Just made some potato wedges in my ninja and made up a batch of ur garlic and parmesan sauce and OMG u r not kidding when u say its delicious, I just LOVE it, I will be making this a lot, thankyou so much for sharing the recipe.
Great review. Thank you.
I love watching you cook Louise! Thank you for helping me learn to cook and actually enjoy it!
Thank you so much! That is the best compliment ever!
Do you really call this cooking??
What a very lovely lady. Your video was a great help, it was also very clear and I will be watching others when I buy my new Ninja Foodi.
Awesome demonstration Very well done... Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Excellent review!!!! Thank you! I appreciate your time and patience to give all the details!!! Just order it on Amazon!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for showing the temperature ranges for each setting.
Everywhere I checked would tell me 105 - 450...but nothing told me if that was the air fryer settings or the bake settings, or what. THANK YOU!
I am replacing a 4 year old air fryer that is only 3.5 qt. and has given up the ghost, because I use it for almost everything (I LOVE making skirt steak in mine, for example.) so your review was ABSOLUTELY helpful!
I just wanted to let you know, my daughter made your spaghetti recipe last night and said it is the best spaghetti she has ever made. Thank you for what you do for all of us out here. You are amazing.
That is awesome!
Hi Louise ! I fully appreciate your videos with wonderful art of cooking. I enjoy cooking full roast dinner, was not possible with my Philips AF single basket alone. I purchased Ninja dual 9.5 L| qt AF recently, 2 baskets
are ideal for preparing roast dinner for a small family
instead of using oven.
I will look forward to see your recipes in Ninja dual AF.
Thank you so much ! Cheers !!
Well, it's official! I either have to expand my current kitchen or get a new house with a much bigger kitchen! This looks amazing and so versatile . Thanks Louise!
Don't I know it! I had to clear off a shelf in my laundry room to store everything when I'm not using it!
Hi Louis! We got our son a Ninja Air Fryer for his birthday a couple of weeks ago. He loves it. Since he lives by himself we just got him the single one. I look forward to seeing you make the meatloaf in it along with your biscuits. Thank you for sharing your art of cooking with us. Love watching you videos.
Thank you!
Love your recipes one thing I have that exact same dual drawer ninja cooker and I noticed you just shut it off when you took the wings out a little earlier and you were supposed to bring the time setting down to zero so it goes to cool mode and that only lasts about 30 to 50 seconds just thought Iâd let you know keep the good recipes coming
First time I've seen one of your videos - you have a lovely demeanour on camera âșïž
Thank you so much đ
Love this video!!- Great Job - Thanks
Glad you enjoyed it!
So thankful for this video Louise. And it's only a year old. Geezzzz am I behind or what? LOL
Been wondering about this machine. Your amazing, and Thanks for your help
Glad it was helpful!
My foodi arrives today, I canât wait to try out your recipes
YAY! Have fun!
I just hit the subscribe button because of this video!! Great Job on the wings!
Awesome! Thank you!
Thank you for all your detail!!
You are so welcome!
That looks great, Louise! If Ninja comes out with any more appliances, youâre gonna need a bigger kitchen...lol! I love your chicken nuggets...have made them a few times. Thanks for this GREAT video!đđ
Oh, I know it! I talked myself into this one because I was so curious about the dual zone temperature controls. It's not like the Foodi though, I only bring it out when I want to use it. The original Foodi is always on my counter.
Just ordered mine today cant wait and thanks for the recipes Thanks for showing how to use the Nija
Hope you like it!
I just bought this air fryer because my deep fryer went and the store I buy appliances had them on sale for180.00 each. I rushed down to the store who had four left when I left the house, I purchased the last one half an hour later. I was happy leaving the store. Yes, I called the store they had four they held one for me it turned out good thing I had it held because the other three were gone when I got to the store. Thanks for sharing.a
Hi there. I'm new to your channel and just wanted to say thank you! I am really enjoying your videos. I am looking to get a Ninja and getting so much information and inspiration with your videos. Thanks again!
Awesome! Thank you!
Ditto! Best review I've ever seen and I have been looking since before Christmas. Thank you
I really enjoy your videos!!
Thank you so much!
I am not a gadgets fan but after the success of my robot vaccum I would happily recommend this gadget as well. So handy and useful..
Great video. Very helpful
I was wondering what would you consider to be best choice if your main use was air frying and dehydrating. I already have a pressure cooker and several grills/ovens so that is factoring into my decision.
That's a hard one. Probably the XL oven for dehydrating, but it isn't as good at airfrying as the grill or the dual basket air fryer. If you only want to air fry, the dual basket air fryer is very nice. It works well, but is a basket style air fryer, so deeper than the grill.
I just recently bought a ninja foodie. Could you post the link to the scissors you used in this video. New subscriber. Love your videos đ
Just ordered this. Coming to you for the dets! đ€đ
Hope you like it!
I love the way you explain very nice
Thanks a lot đ
Best review I've seen for an air fryer.... Good job
Thank you so much đ
I just ordered one of these this morning. The Smart Finish feature is a great idea.
Yes, it's wonderful!
Thanks just order one for my pops heâs gone love it.
I hope so!
Thank you for doing a review of this machine. I just found out about the air broil feature yesterday. I love those shears. Where can I get some?
They are from Pampered Chef, here is the link: www.pamperedchef.com/pws/thesaltedpepper/shop/Gifts/Most+Loved/Kitchen+Shears/1593
@@TheSaltedPepper yay. I love Pampered Chef. And just so happen to be participating in a virtual party this week.
Can't wait to see what you do with your new toy! I'm considering that model so I will keep an eye out for the future videos.
I think I will use it for sure, but the original Ninja Foodi is still my go-to!
Hi There, I would like to see some more video on the Ninja Foodi dehydrator like vegan crackers, and veggie wraps. Iâm a new subscriber, love your video thank you.
Thank you so much!
You welcome
Idk who you are but I like you and channel. You had me at garlic paremesan wing sauce!
Oh and of course the dimensions of a single basket that I've been searching for hours so I can see if there's a good dehydrator rack.
Liked/sub The Salted Pepper. Cooking is a family right of passage so love new ways to focus on food and not cooking logistics. The channel name is just simple and great! Thanks for your work!
Saved me $60, thank you!
Thank you so much!
I have the 10qt 2 basket NF air fryer. When making your Sticky Asian sauce, If we air fry the wings only instead of pressure cooking first, how do we do the Sticky Asian sauce? Your video showed after pressure cooking you cook it in the bottom of the pan when you switched to air fry. But I can't do tat i mine. Please help! I want to try it :-)
Love watching your reviews and cooking and because of all your wonderful information and work I bought the 8qt Ninja Foodi Delux at BB&B for $159.99 đand canât wait to play with it!
Thank you so much and I hope you love your new Foodi!
Please do a video of bread in the dual air fryer or Ninja Foodi - as I want to learn how so badly!!
Love the video Louise, fantastic as always, and you look so pretty!
I'm planning on it!
@@TheSaltedPepper Have you made bagel's in the Ninja Foodi?
I am so happy you will make bread, as I am very intimidated my my 6.5qt Foodi, but really want to learn how to make both.
As always, Thank you Louise!
Iâve done videos on both bagels and bread in the Foodi. Search bread in the Foodi and you should find it easily.
@@TheSaltedPepper Thank you Lovely! Am going to search ASAP!!
What type of potato is best for the thick cut or thin fries?
I just got the Ninja Deluxe 8qt this week and appreciate your videos very much. I didn't realize I could do so much with this appliance. I haven't used the oven or stove top all week.
I would use Russets.
This was so informative! Can you do the same with unbreaded fish? Veggies? Kale chips?
I would probably use the bake function instead of air crisp/air fry if I'm cooking lean fish, pork or chicken without breading so the outside doesn't dry out. Vegetables are best roasted in my opinion. I haven't made kale chips, but my only concern would be them flying around inside because of the fan speed on air crisp.
Have the original Ninja grill, need to buy one as a gift. Would you pick the duo over the grill?
Oh dear so now i need a grill đł. Have the ninja 9in1 and the duo. The duo being my usual go to. Thanks for sharing đ x
The grill does a nice job with air frying, but so does the original Foodi and the duo.
How do you like your dual? Do you cook steaks or chicken on it?
@@nicholasanderson00 i absolutely love my duel cook loads aswel as chicken yes but no steak đ„© as yet. Its coming on holiday today trying to work out whether toast can be cooked in it đđ
@@annabell2705 thank you! I decided to get one as well :)
Very nice video review! We love it! We have one question though; what with the different Ninja Foodi Dual Zone models? They all look the same but for some reason they have different models numbers such as DZ201C, DZ201Q, DZ201QCN, ect. Do you know what is the difference?
Thank you!
I'm not sure, but I wonder if the C or CN means the Canadian version?
@@TheSaltedPepper thank you, Cheers!
Good video except for Fahrenheit temps which are not used here...
I'm wondering about using foil pans to line the baskets and can you do Mac and cheese in them? I'm pretty sure that you can. Maybe even loaf cakes and breads.
I'm also wondering what is the capacity of each basket in qts/ltr.
I'm thinking that Ninja might come out with a larger size unit in the future as well.
If someone was concerned about the heat from the back and being close to a wall etc, I would use a sheet pan as a deflector if I had no choice for more than 6 inches of distance.
They are each 4 qts. You couldn't really boil the pasta, but you could bake mac and cheese in there for sure. I haven't tried a foil meatloaf pan, so I'm not sure if it will fit or not.
Little off topic, but where did you get that 'platter' you placed the fries on? My husband has been looking for something similar to put foods on when taking them off his grill.
Thank you for the review - definitely helped me in my research on the dual basket Foodie & you've got a new subscriber!
Here is the set I have, but they are also sold individually: www.pamperedchef.com/pws/thesaltedpepper/shop/Entertaining/Sets/Entertaining+Platter+Set/1471
@@TheSaltedPepper Thank you
You should have seen my mouth watering at those wedges with melted cheese!
Apparently IKEA sells glass baking dishes that fit perfectly into the Ninja baskets
How big are the two baskets, are they both 6+ or XXL. Please answer this question and thanks for the other great air fry recipes you gave posted.
There are two different models now, the XL baskets are larger. If you want to send me an email, I can measure the baskets for you. Louise@thesaltedpepper.com
I just got the grill today so happy
I hope you enjoy it!
@@TheSaltedPepper i dont see you review this machine... did you ? If not will you ? Particularly interested in any yummy recipes from you x
Hi, Just wondering if you have had a chance to use the cookware that Ninja has out? If so are they as good as the rest of their products?
I don't have the cookware and I probably won't buy it. Of course, that's what I said about this dual zone air fryer! LOL LOL
Can you cook bread in this appliance?
Hi would you recommend the 15 in one or dual Airfryer
For me personally, the 15 in one because it has so many features and works great.
Can you tell me if your Ninja Dual Basket Air Fryer makes a clicking sound when you are cooking food in both baskets at the same time. I don't notice the clicking sound when I am only cooking in one.
Not that I recall.
Great demo, thank you, but one question, Iâm in the UK, and Iâm a Celsius girl, can the temperature be switched fro Fahrenheit to Celsius?
The temperature will be in Celsius when you buy a UK model.
@@TheSaltedPepper âŠoh thatâs great, thank you so much for replying đ€
If you had to pick one of the Ninjas for daily use, but assuming you do not pressure cook that much, which one would you pick? :)
I'm just wondering if there is a significant difference in the amount of room between the 2 baskets compared to the 6.5 quart air crisper foodi?
Not that much in my opinion.
I can only guess that if you want your chicken nuggets crispier in the ninja air fryer is to add a couple of more minutes to the cooking time. I just got my dual and canât wait to try it out!
It doesn't really work that way because it's about the circulation of air. I've kept them in longer and didn't see any changes. Increasing the temperature is something to consider.
@@TheSaltedPepper Have you tried the air broil setting at 450 for the last few minutes?
The 6-1 function is from from the Ninja Foodi site. The Wal Mart Version only has 4-1 functions (no broil or bake)
I should have mentioned that, totally forgot! That is the case with Ninja appliances at Walmart it seems, they are always missing something, but the price is lower.
While that's true the majority of the time, now that Walmart's online shopping is trying to compete w/ Amazon, they do carry the 6-1 version via 3rd party resellers. I purchased mine and it was shipped from NC to AZ. From looking at the Box when received, you would have thought it had been run over by a truck. Luckily, after unpacking, cleaning it out and so far my initial tests have been very successful. I believe I purchased the DZ201.
im in the uk and ive got one of these and its really good
So glad to hear that!
No air broil function in UK?
@@daveadriffield7296 just bought one and yes it does.
I Live in Spain and can Air boil/max crisp on both sides, and it is in celcius.
would you buy the dual zone over the presure cooker air foodi?
Nope. I love the PC/AC model the best because it does everything. However, I only cook for 2 people and do a lot of combination cooking. Meaning I'll PC something and then finish it with AC. The dual zone works great if you want to mostly air fry and bake. I just find the Ninja Foodi PC & AC easier to make full meals in.
I'm new to this type of cooking....which one should I choose? This one or 8qt Ninja Foodi? Thanks! I don't have room for both in my kitchen.
I would get the 8qt NInja Foodi because it does everything.
@@TheSaltedPepper even if I already have a slow cooker?
Mine pauses both sides when I remove either basket and resumes when pushed back in on sync cook.....Did you actually try that?
If I talked about it, I tried it. đ
Can you make the same amount of food at the same time in the dual as in the 6in1?
I think the XL grill may have a little more surface area than the two baskets of the original dual air fryer, but the newer and bigger dual air fryer might be the same or bigger. I don't have that one, so I'm not sure.
Thank you really informative. I would love to see a demo of the meatloaf and the bread in the dual zone ninja.
I haven't gotten around to doing it yet, but it is on my list.
@@TheSaltedPepper thank you x
How would you do that please? Would you put the meatloaf in a tin, in the drawer?
Hey hey!!
What oil you use for the potato?
Probably olive oil.
I got the 4-1 ninja on amazon - I don't have a bake function. Am I still able to make a meatloaf in my fryer?
Which style of appliance is it? As far as I know they all have bake or roast.
@@TheSaltedPepper its the same as the video, except only 4 options vs 6
If you could only one 1 which one would you get? The ninja deluxe pressure cooker or the Dulezone air fryer?
The pressure cooker and air crisper without a doubt.
Can we do rice in this dual Zone? Thanks
It would be challenging since rice does best in a moist cooking environment. Honestly, it would not be worth trying in my opinion.
What is broil? Why can't my UK machine broil?
Most models can, itâs called âgrillâ in the UK.
Today I used the ninja foodi First thing I made was fries and breaded chicken nuggets.... đ
Can you steam with this machine, ?
Not really. It only heats from below and it would be tricky and take more time than using the stove or the Ninja Foodi pressure cooker and air crisper.
Just saw that Costco has the 6.5qt Ninja Foodi for $149.99 when I went there today if anyone is interested.
That's a great deal!
I love that oil spray bottle! Where did you get it?
It's by EVO. They don't sell the model I have anymore on Amazon, but there are similar ones. I love it!
How does one clean the spray bottle? It must be pretty greasy to clean it?
Not an advert for slimming world watching a person guzzle all those nuggets.
frying the chicken unmarinated/unseasoned?!
There is plenty of seasoning in the coating.
don't blow out your circuit?
Just used mine for the first time. đł
Iâve stepped into the 21st century.
I hope you love it!
OMG how much stuff do you get from Ninja
Nothing! I have never received one thing from them and I never plan on it. I bought the products because once I started with the original Foodi, people kept asking me for recipes for the other appliances. I bought them and started creating recipes to help people. đ„°
@@TheSaltedPepper I did not mean to say they had sent you it. I just mean you have a lot of there products lol
@@brianwild4640 yes, yes, I do! đ€Łđ€Łđ€Ł
Do you buy all the ninja products or do you get them free
I have bought them myself. I'm not affiliated with Ninja at all.
@@TheSaltedPepper .. Are you kidding me.. They should pay you for advertising.. Do you know how many ninja foodies have probably been sold because of YOU.. please contact them.. I will contact them to let them know how much business they are getting just because of your channel.. You do alot of work to test all these recipes.. Heck partner with them to write a new cookbook.. Get paid for your work "Queen of Ninja Foodie"
I really thought you cut your finger with those scissors!
I'm careful.
The grill nuggets were noticeably smaller, maybe that's why they won?
They were all around the same size. I'm pretty careful about that when doing comparisons like this. Some video angles might make things look different when they aren't.
free appliances are allways good
Who gets them free? I sure donât.
That sauce will be so fattening!
The fat you saved with the ninja, you replaced with the cheese/butter sauce.
Iâll rather just go out and eat - itâs easier and faster
No! Donât spray the containers with oil! Only the food.
Itâs perfectly fine to do it either way.
I can tell this woman knows her fried food
NO SPARES PARTS ARE EVER AVAILABLE!Please think twice before buying a Ninja Airfryer as you are never able to buy any spare parts, such as crisper plates or drawers etc. All the parts are constantly out of stock with no dates for any more. This lack of available spare parts is clearly to make sure you have to buy a completely new airfryer instead of just the part you need. VERY POOR CUSTOMER SERVICES Do yourselves a favour and choose a different make of airfryer, as Shark Ninja do not care.
You will lose weight.
this fryers are for people to help them lose weight. what you re doing is not losing weight.
Air fryers can be used however people want to use them. As far as this recipe goes, it is much healthier (lower fat & calories) to make your own chicken nuggets rather then buy them frozen or from a fast food place.
Butter, cream, cheese. No wonder north Americans are enormous.
Rude!
Very good review! Thank you
