"It's MUCH easier to clean non stick surfaces (1 minute after each use). ... Takes me 1 minute to clean my Cosori with a nylon brush and Dawn."
"Clean up is a snap all it takes is a little bit of your dish detergent I use Dawn and three tablespoons of baking soda made into a small little paste you cover the inside you cover the. Inside in the rack with it you wait 15 minutes rinse it well with warm water paper towel dry it and it's done."
"both baskets go in the dishwasher, which makes cleanup way easier"

"and I absolutely love being able to cook two different things and match their cook time."
"The dual baskets let me cook two things at once (like chicken wings in one and fries in the other) with different settings, and they finish at the same time thanks to the “Smart Finish” tech."
"a "smart finish" setting so they finish together"

"I have not used my “basket” style air fryer or my full sized oven since we bought this. Well, aside from Thanksgiving to cook the turkey."
"Even without adding oil, food is crispier than in an oven. ... Like - frozen oven chips are always soggy. In the air fryer - crispy French fries."
"Now all I use is my air fryer, microwave for frozen veggies and rice cooker. ... I like everything to be as simple as possible, so set it and forget it. Haven't used my stove top or oven since I got the ninja in 2022."

"lately I've been into cooking frozen steaks, better than sous vide etc and much easier and leave the best crust"
"The stream to air fry mode is also great for making a whole chicken!"

"This is exactly why I just switched to getting the double stack.. ... I don't have a lot of countertop space in my NYC apartment but this one fits nicely"
"As this has same capacity but takes up less space on counter top, than the side by side model."
"I’m tired of how much space the side by side takes up on the counter"

"My biggest complaint is that it takes forever when using both zones. ... It brags that you don’t have to batch cook, but at least with batch cooking I’d have something hot on the table while the second half cooks."
"as soon as we put both baskets to use it was sooooo slow to cook. ... Basically double the cooking time. ... when switching to two it takes absolutely ages."
"When I first got it I was excited to throw like frozen fries in one side and nuggets in the other, but then when I used my Normal settings neither was even close to done. I don’t use both at the same time ever anymore. ... Tried later adding time and found it really cumbersome to get right. It just doesn’t get nearly as hot when splitting between both baskets ... If you tell it to have 375 in one side and 350 in the other they’ll actually be about 335 and 310. It can’t output enough heat. ... Maybe mine is defective (and was out of the box) but it absolutely does not reach the desired temperature if I use both."

"burns the food and cooks unevenly ... absolute waste of money"
"Whenever you cook with both baskets it just doesn't have enough power for that so it cooks way worse ... so you end up just always using only 1 basket."
"My Ninja dual basket air fryer runs at a lower heat if both baskets are being used"

"I don't trust them anymore with their built in capacitors that died."
"I was running an old Asus RT-AC68U with the Merlin firmware previously and it was starting to be unstable and needed frequent reboots"
"Asus is not immune, the RT-AC86U was notorious for getting too hot, cracking the BGA solder, and dying an early death."

"honestly I hate it. ... Each basket is too small. ... No matter what you get, get a larger cooking area."
Ninja air fryer with 2 compartments. I’ve baked a cake in an air fryer.
r/Frugal • Tips for cooking without a stove/oven? Im not trying to sound dumb lol just maybe having it spelled out for me will help? Thanks ->Dude I’ve been a skeptic for years and I finally got one the other day, ninja duel basket and it’s absolutely awesome being able to choose 2 different modes or times and temperatures even if just cooking for 1
r/airfryer • Affordable Airfryer Suggestions ->Got the uk twin draw so like 2400+ watts, it’s great, very even and fast cooking on either draw
r/airfryer • Hidden Cons? Ninja Foodi Dual Zone 7.6L (not Max), XXXL FlexDrawer 10.4L, DoubleStack XXXL 9.5L ->I have a ninja dual and I love it
r/airfryer • I want to buy a double basket airfryer, what are the best and worst ones out there? And why? ->I have ninja dual stack and it's a life saver. I can cook 2 things at once and not having to be constantly putting things in the oven and checking on them. It has the functions to match the cooking time for things to finish at the same time and you can have 2 layers in the same basket. It cooks much faster than the oven does. It ended up being smaller than I expected, but fits more than what I expected. Bonus function is not heating up the whole house just for a meal, like the oven does. I love that I'm not a sweaty and smelling like a pig after making dinner. I put my air frier close to the kitchen fan and turn it on. I should have bought it sooner. PS: watch out the air frier exhaust. Mine melted a cheap toaster that's encased in plastic.
r/Parenting • Is an air fryer worth it? ->Bought the ninja 13-in-1 flip toaster oven second hand for $100 and it had replaced my microwave and dual tray ninja air fryer almost entirely. Actually, I haven't used the air fryer since I bought it, which was four month ago. The microwave I use to reheat leftovers, like soup, mash potatoes, that won't reheat well in the toaster. It has also pretty much replaced my conventional oven except for when I'm doing big batches or baking something that won't fit, like a cheesecake.
r/Cooking • Should I buy a microwave, toaster oven, or air fryer for my tiny kitchen? I can only pick one….. ->It's not about the cooking method. Brining/marinading + making sure they are flat and more or less equal in thickness + taking it out at the right internal temperature is the key. I know double stack ninja model has a built in thermometer for monitoring food temp, but you can buy one separately. It will level up your chicken breasts.
r/airfryer • My very first air fryer ->Can’t say I’ve tried any others but I’ve never had any issues with my Ninja. I have the one that’s stacked instead of side by side to save counter space and I love it. Only complaint is the cord is a bit short.
r/BuyItForLife • The Best Airfryer to Buy Right Now? ->Congratulations! We are a two too - gave just bought a Ninja stacked - love it !!
r/airfryer • best air fryer for 2 people? Recently married :) ->That one was also at the top of my list but ultimately, I think I made the better choice. I think with that model, I heard a lot of people saying that the bottom didn’t cook at the same rate as the top. I suppose you could compensate for that if you were cooking different items. There is also one that has two dedicated drawers that I heard good things about but if you ever wanted to make a big item like a roasted chicken, it would be hard unless you get a small chicken.
r/airfryer • First time air fryer ->Any dual compartment Ninjia. Ninja until I die. Amazing bang for your buck
r/waterford • Air fryer ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
