Foodi FD101

Still got our oven and use it for bigger things, like roast chicken etc, but have a Ninja too and it's the best thing we've ever brought. It gets used daily for all sorts. Pressure cooking a joint of meat and then finishing it off on air fry is my current thing.

It does pork well I find, although you sometimes have to cut larger joints in half to fit. We put it on the wire rack with a pint of hot stock underneath with garlic, herbs and whatever aromatic goodies you might like for taste and pressure cook it on high for 40 mins or so. Then pour out the stock and save it for gravy if you like and swap the lids. Then air fry for 10-20 mins to crisp the fat. Sometimes we cut the fat off before cooking and save it in the fridge overnight, cut into cubes, with salt, we then air fry this into tasty pork scratchings. Beef works well too. The only limit is making sure the lid will close.

Ninja: easy to use, easy to clean. The New York Times also recommended the 5Q as the best one out there for quick even cooking. That’s why I tried it, and I love it,

That’s the one we have. It’s perfect for 2.

I have a ninja 5qt. I love ig

After reading your post, I wouldn't get a standard air fryer. I also have a tiny kitchen and since I don't air fry every day, it was mostly in the way. However...I did get a Ninja Foodi 10-in-1 which is a bit larger buuut I use it almost daily, especially in the summer, for preparing some aspect of our meals, if not a complete meal. It's not always faster at cooking say French fries, but it preheats faster and contains the heat. Whereas my stove, oven, and previously owned countertop convection toaster oven that was also not used enough and therefore in the way, both radiate so much heat into the space which is great in winter but so extra costly in the summer. That said, I use my Ninja Foodi happily in the winter too when it doesn't make sense to use the oven due to portion size. I have slow cooked with it but prefer to use the pressure cooker in most cases. I also braise, broil, boil, roast, pan fry, air fry, and you could make rice with it but I would be a failed Asian if I didn't have a proper several hundred dollar rice cooker with all the bells and whistles. The only feature I have not used because I haven't taken the time to get myself educated about how to go forward is the sous vide function. I hear it takes a long time so it's not of particular interest to me at this time. I've had ours for almost a year and a half now. I fucken love it.
