Best thing I bought this year and making meals now is more enjoyable Also comes with recipes 😊

Bought the Ninja 9 in 1 to replace my small air fryer & cracked slow cooker. Best move! I’ve used it tons in 4 weeks of having it: everything from soups, quickly reheating quiches or cooking pasta in minutes to cooking a meal like perfect lamb chops with mashed potatoes! It’s a great time saver too. I rate it highly because: - simple to use - saves time esp pressure cooking for the first part of the recipe and finishing off with crisping by the air fryer (chef’s kiss for this!) - great functionality so it’s a space saver - no need for lots of kitchen gadgets on your worktops - easy to clean parts - solid & well made - instructions & recipe book are well written & easy to follow. One minor point: the recipe book doesn’t cover how to cook one everyday staple, pasta (except as part of a recipe where penne is cooked in the sauce, so not useful to cook pasta on its own/different types of pasta). However, I found plenty of guides from Internet chefs which cover this!

This unit has many useful features. Having looked on you tube for ideas you are better just using common sense. The big advantage once you establish the mode of cooking as well as the temperature and time, a repeat of the operation is so easy, be it chips and things for kiddies to a roast chicken. Absolutely brilliant. The only minor negative is the handbook of recipes and guidance is in micro print a improved size of print would be very helpful. The internet has many sites which are helpful up to a point as they are mainly American and temperature guides are in Fahrenheit! The recipe principles are still the same. Bacon looped over the inverted rack is great after 9 mins on 200C and crisp and dry. A good cleaning tip for when cooking is completed, put the wire rack upside down in the bowl add drop or two washing up liquid then add 1 litre or so of water to cover the wire rack and shut the lid with the machine off. The residual heat will get the soapy water very hot and clean both the bowl and the wire rack while you eat. After 20 mins or so remove bowl and rinse out the residues. Two other issues to consider is the size of the machine it is not small and the separate pressure cooking lid has to be stored as does the crisper or wire rack. The other major consideration is where to use it, do not use it close to over bench cupboards etc, it generates steam and heat which exits from the top and could over time damage the cupboard facing etc. In use it needs to be ideally in clear open space not under cupboards. The setting of operations is very simple with a rotating knob to select and then push in centre to start. A very clever and useful addition to any kitchen which has the space to accommodate it. I have had this two weeks now and have made many bacon sandwiches, toasties, roast chicken, jacket potatoes garlic bread etc. They say if you can do it in a conventional oven you can do it in this Ninja. I am beginning to believe it.

Does everything and gets used most days now.

Have to say that I am really pleased with the Ninja Foodi. I have had a Philips Air Fryer for a couple of years and found that really useful though, despite what the makers say, it was a little difficult to clean. I have seen adverts for the Ninja Foodi and decided to splash out on one. I have yet to explore all the features but I have used the pressure cooker option to make soup and the steam option to cook some vegetables and they worked really well. I have also used the air crisper to cook hand made potato wedges as well as frozen chops and fish fillets. All the things cooked using the crisper were excellent and so much quicker than using my oven - because the Foodi is that much smaller it warms up quicker and also cooks quicker. It is also very easy to clean - the man bowl is non stick and cleaning is a doddle. The air fryer basket is also non stick and is again easy to clean. I really like the fact that the device that ensures that the hot fat laden air circulates around the cooking food is actually a plastic four bladed widget that clips onto the bottom of the basket. It unclips quickly and so cleaning it and the basket separately is a doddle and there are no traps for the grease to linger and then burn on when you use the crisper the next time. The summary of my experience so far - this was an excellent purchase and I look forward to exploring its features and cooking more and more things in it. It goes without saying that I have sold the Philips Air Fryer as it was totally redundant - very useful but now surplus to requirements :-)
