Review: replaced my cooker - As I was impressed with my first
Ninja I bought another one as a gift for another. The reason I
really like the Ninjas is because the one I have has replaced my
cooker, except for special ocasions such as Christmas as that is
when four burners and two ovens are get a lot of use. The two
Ninja baskets are quite spacious so one can cook a meal in them,
for up to two people. However, the Ninja can also cook plenty of
chicken so one can cook enough chicken for a family of four, cook
the chips then quickly reheat the chicken so up to four can be
fed. I have cooked fried chicken, chips, pies, fish, beef joints
even a duck in my Ninja. It also bakes bread, one can make cakes
in it (I haven't baked a cake in mine, yet!). For cooking fish I
simply batter the fish, drop it in hot oil for around 30 seconds
then remove it and p-lace it in the Ninja to air fry it. As for
chips I use the Max Crisp setting for one minute after they have
cooked with the Air Fry one, to give them that extra bit of
crispiness. Although the Ninkas are good for all sorts of cooking
and can cook everything from fried chicken to jam there is one
thing I tried and won't try again as it was too time consuming
and too costly. Roasting coffee beans in a Ninja is something I
do not advise as coffee beans can be cooked in less than 1/10 of
the time on a stove and at much less cost. When I tried to roast
coffee I eneded up giving in and finishing them off on the stove
as the amount and energy used and the amount of time wasted was
just too much. One thing I do find the Ninja good for is cooking
food from frozen. I simply read the cooking instructions then
reduce the temperature by 10c and reduce the time a little and
the Ninja cooks the food very well and in slightly less time. I
also like the "Sync" and "Match" functions as it makes cooking a
bit simpler. Now for the best nit... using a Ninja saves both
time and energy thus saves money. The Ninja can rapidly heat up
so there's no waiting 10 minutes for an oven to preheat and it
uses far less energy. A typical main oven will burn over 3kWh of
energy and the Ninja burns less than 1/3 of that. With the
cavities being small it takes far less time to heat and much less
energy to maintain the heat. Less energy use = less cost = more
savings. It is a simple mathematical equation to work out that a
Ninja saves money and soon pays for itself. If one saves £3 per
week, on energy costs, then cooking with the Ninja means the
savings will pay for the initial cost of purchase in around one
year. After that first year the £3 per week is a saving that can
be used for other things. Overall the Ninjas have impressed me
and so much that I have started using them for gifts. They are;
easy to use, easy to keep clean, they are cost effective, energy
saving, money saving devices that every kitchen should have.
Ninjas are very good quality and excellent value so I am
recommending them.
Review: Very nice air fryer, even cooks nice jacket potatoes! -
It is a good quality air fryer, works well and is simple to keep
clean. Food is crispy and hot, cooks fast and even if you
remember to turn or shake the tray half way. Remember to clean it
after each use to prevent fires.
