We have a Ninja Foodie - it bakes, toasts, broils, air-fries...
r/Cooking • Should I buy a microwave, toaster oven, or air fryer for my tiny kitchen? I can only pick one..... ->We have a Ninja Foodi Grill XL which is also an air fryer. It gets used all the time, and we clean if after every use. I like that it has multiple functions in addition to air fryer.
r/glutenfree • Air fryer must have? ->I've seen the dual zone ones recommended before. Personally, it either cuts the usable area down so you can't do large things, or it makes the air fryer too big. Our air fryer recently died and needed to be replaced. We don't have as many of the name brand options where I live but ninja is available. Picked up the foodi grill because it looked convenient to use and it is head and shoulders above the old drawer basket style we had. It preheats faster, seems to circulate the air a bit better so things are crispier and it's so much easier to load things in and take things out. The grill plate works pretty well too. I'm not a huge ninja fan, but this air fryer makes me willing to at least consider the ninja brand for other things. There aren't too many occasions that we would need two different things cooked in the air fryer. Either it is being used for the protein, in which case the sides are getting cooked on the stove, or I'm using it for a side in which case the main is cooked on the stove. Or I'm reheating some leftovers and nothing else is getting cooked.
r/airfryer • Why do you guys prefer dual air fyers? ->Our air fryer recently died and needed to be replaced. We don't have as many of the name brand options where I live but ninja is available. Picked up the foodi grill because it looked convenient to use and it is head and shoulders above the old drawer basket style we had. It preheats faster, seems to circulate the air a bit better so things are crispier and it's so much easier to load things in and take things out. It's also much, much, easier to clean. The grill plate works pretty well too. I'm not a huge ninja fan, but this air fryer makes me willing to at least consider the ninja brand for other things. It's been about 4 months now and every time I use it I still think about how I'm glad the old one died because this one is so much better. As a side note, it does an awesome job with leftover pizza, just toss some cold slices in there and run the preheat and about a minute after preheat is done and it's even better than when it was fresh pizza!
r/BuyItForLife • Air Fryer Recommendation Needed ->I have the ninja xl grill and it cooks wings perfectly.
r/Wings • Should I get an Air Fryer or an Oven for cooking wings? ->I have the Ninja Foodie. It can grill, bake, dehydrate, roast, and air fry. Nine times out of ten, I will be using it especially in the summer when I don't want to turn the oven on.
r/Cooking • Do you have an air fryer? Should I get one? ->I would recommend getting an air fryer - you can bake and reheat food in it. Our Ninja Foodie has been a lifesaver for the last couple years in our condo, would 10/10 recommend if I could only pick one appliance.
r/Cooking • Should I buy a microwave, toaster oven, or air fryer for my tiny kitchen? I can only pick one..... ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS

r/CasualIreland • Good people of Irish Reddit! Seeking recommendations for an air fryer ->Yeah they are brilliant and a much better option than an air fryer imo
r/CasualIreland • Good people of Irish Reddit! Seeking recommendations for an air fryer ->I've had mine for years can't beat them
r/CasualIreland • Good people of Irish Reddit! Seeking recommendations for an air fryer ->I have a ninja foodie grill with an aircrisp feature and there is definitely a preheat function. Maybe it's just a ninja thing.
r/airfryer • How to dry potatoes for fries? ->Thank you. I don't know anyone else who has a ninja but is it only me that's aggravated when I have to clean it after grilling? All my marinade gets stuck. I see everyone using parchment paper on Instagram but I don't think we can use that in the ninja. Ugh
r/airfryer • How to dry potatoes for fries? ->I've been soaking it with the dawn powerwash spray because I am lazy but I am worried it's going to ruin the coating. I wish we could use the paper but there's no way. Our ninja machines are so different than the other air fryers. I like making the boneless skinless thighs in the marinade that includes Greek yogurt, but I find the yogurt is the worst with getting burned and stuck.
r/airfryer • How to dry potatoes for fries? ->It's a square 18"x18" and about a foot tall. It's not huge but it's not tiny either. Perfect for 2, troublesome for 3.
r/BuyItForLife • View on Reddit →I have the Ninja XL Grill. The larger basket and grill functions make it useful for meals for 2-4 people. In the USA most people don't have convection ovens, and an air fryer is a small convection oven. It heats up fast, and doesn't heat up the house like a full size oven. The grill pan makes it a good indoor grilling option. Steak, sausage, chicken, fish, does a good job on all of them. There are many foods which are especially good in the air fryer, and faster than other methods. Frozen convenience foods like tater tots, chicken nuggets, shrimp, fish sticks, any frozen appetizers, etc. All get crispy and cook faster than a regular oven. Roast vegetables. It's one of its best features. Reheat pizza and fried foods. Grilled cheese sandwiches. Pretty much hands off and quick. The small ones will be too small for more than two people. They do take up space. But they are a great convenience tool for what they do well.

r/airfryer • View on Reddit →I love my Ninja Foodie, not only is it a fantastic air fryer, it has so many other functions that I use
r/EatCheapAndHealthy • View on Reddit →I echo this on the Foodie XL. Sees more use than my oven and stove combined
r/Costco • View on Reddit →I got the ninja Foodie XL! I purchased it because I didn't want to buy an appliance that has only one purposes. The ninja foodie grills, bakes, air fry, dehydrate, broil, and roast. I also got the larger version to do one round of cooking with the device instead of multiple.
r/Costco • View on Reddit →Ninja (in the US at least, I've heard mixed things about UK) should be safe - we have birds and this is a requirement. Double check what you're buying, and ask the manufacturer to be sure. We have the Foodi Grill/Air Fryer, and a Ninja toaster oven. Gourmia was also safe when we got that years ago, not sure if that's still the case.
r/Appliances • View on Reddit →Yeah they are brilliant and a much better option than an air fryer imo
r/CasualIreland • View on Reddit →My foodi is all metal. The easiest to clean of any air fryer I've used too. Throw it all in the dishwasher haha
r/BuyItForLife • View on Reddit →Yes I have the ninja counter top one and love it. I am looking to cook food fast and was curious how well the wall version did compared to the counter top one.
r/kitchenremodel • View on Reddit →Not quite the same, but I have switched from a Ninja AG651 to an AF451. One downside is definitely that I can't fit a large casserolle in ther anymore, but that's the only downside as well. The drawer-style is way quieter. Allows me to make crispy stuff alongside veggies which before just didn't crisp up properly. It does not require preheating. I have less space width-wise, but way more space to the top which makes bigger pieces of meat possible (for example one whole chicken, which before only worked spatchcocked). If I only have use one drawer the power-consumption is obviously less. Cleaning is way easier. Also the thermal probe is way better than my previous one.
r/airfryer • View on Reddit →I would recommend getting an air fryer - you can bake and reheat food in it. Our Ninja Foodie has been a lifesaver for the last couple years in our condo, would 10/10 recommend if I could only pick one appliance.
r/Cooking • View on Reddit →I have not done a whole chicken yet in the AF451, only chicken legs so far, but testing with that the temperature probe was definitely more accurate than the one from the AG651. The spatchcocked chicken in the AG651 took about 40 minutes I think at 180°C, but I am actually not entirely sure. That's the neat thing with the thermal probe, as you just have to set the temperature and use the preset for chicken and it will just turn itself off once it's done. Spatchcocked normally is a bit faster, so a whole chicken in the AF451 will probably take a bit longer.
r/airfryer • View on Reddit →Love our ninja appliances. We have the foodi indoor grill/airfryer machine and it is great for convenience and minimal cleanup. It is used frequently throughout the week. It can grill, roast, bake, air fry and even dehydrate food. We also have the outdoor woodfire grill/smoker which is just as nice. It's easier to make smoked food than my cabinet smoker and is better in adverse weather conditions.
r/Appliances • View on Reddit →Specifically the ninja foodi. No Teflon.
r/BuyItForLife • View on Reddit →I don't know if it's bifl, but when it comes to air fryers I've learned that ninja is the only way to go. Specifically the ninja foodi with the "grill" setting.
r/BuyItForLife • View on Reddit →Thank you. I don't know anyone else who has a ninja but is it only me that's aggravated when I have to clean it after grilling? All my marinade gets stuck. I see everyone using parchment paper on Instagram but I don't think we can use that in the ninja. Ugh
r/airfryer • View on Reddit →Ninja Foodie is a good one. Keeps the moisture in better than others.
r/LivingAlone • View on Reddit →I got a Ninja Foodie - it's a toaster oven, air fryer, and dehydrator. Best thing is that it folds up when you're not using it. I have a tiny kitchen and this one works best for me.
r/Cooking • View on Reddit →I make air fryer sliders all football season long. Wings are also fire. I have the Ninja Indoor Grill/Air Fryer that also works as a dehydrator. It's bigger than a standard air fryer but I actually do use all the functions.
