Ninja - Foodi FD302

Look into the Ninja Foodi 11-in-1. I honestly think it’s perfect, i have one. Get either that or a dual basket one, but the 11-in-1 allows for pressure cooking and sous vide and also searing the steak directly in the Foodi. Take a look at the Ninja Foodi 11-in-1 recipe book and i think you’ll be sold - they made a series of very easy, somewhat idiot proof recipes where you can make entire meals in the Foodi and it is DELICIOUSSSSSS.

I got a Ninja 11 in 1. It’s does a bunch of stuff including air frying, pressure, cooking, slow cooking etc in general it’s great and I get good results with it but it’s huge. I’d definitely look at something like this if I were you and you’re open to getting rid of some kitchen gadgets to combine into one. That being said I use the pressure cooker and slow cooker bits a bunch and only dabble in air frying as an alternative to deep frying and for speeding up roasting things. Most common things in the air fryer are, home made fries, wings, quick roast potatoes, home made chicken tenders and breaded fish fillets I should really expand the repertoire here but it’s quick and to some extent fire and forget for these basics

yeah this don't go cheap as you will inevitably replace it when it breaks in 9 months. the foodi is good quality and you will find yourself using the other functions

I have the ninja foodi pot and I love it. Can’t beat a great air fryer and a pressure cooker in one, plus all the other features. They discontinued them but places like Walmart still have some. I’ve used mine at least once a day if not 2 or 3 for 4 years. I love it so much I bought a backup last week, I don’t want to not have it.

The fans will eventually wear out, but the leader of the pack is definitely ninja. I’d go with the new dual side by side, but if you want a machine the will do more, find a ninja foodi pot. Amazon ones are better quality than the Walmart ones. They discontinued the pressure cooker/air fryer but I love mine.

Walmart still has the ninja foodi/pressure cooker combo. They’ve been discontinued but it’s still a solid device. We’ve cook in it everyday, multiple times a day, for 4 years. I have two other ninja air fryers and the combo is still my go to and most used. I bought a second one today as a backup since they’re not going to make them anymore, I don’t want to be without it. I did pick up the stainless steel replacement bowl a while ago (not oem) and I like it more than the original bowl.

You’re relative sounds like a tool. It’s a nice product, but it’s very weird and rude to me, for someone to just buy an appliance for your home. It’s expensive enough that you feel obligated to keep it, but many people don’t have room for that type of thing. It’s just weird, like someone coming into your house and just hanging a large picture on your wall. As for the appliance itself, it can be useful. It’s not a fryer. It’s a high powered convection oven. It does a very good job of oven things, but faster. It’s a decent replacement for a toaster oven, if it’s shaped that way. We have a ninja foodi with a pressure cooker attachment. It’s good, but we probably under utilize it. It’s also a little small. So it’s sometimes awkward to get everything in. You aren’t cooking for a crowd with then either. It’s good for a couple of people, though. It does a great job in reheating things that don’t typically reheat well. Pizza, fried foods, etc.

I love mine and use it daily. I even bought a ninja combi because I wanted more options lol. I like the ninja foodi because it's also a pressure cooker, and makes perfect rice and hard boiled eggs. I use it for bagels/waffles/toast daily, and usually reheat things in it. If you make frozen foods like fries and chicken nugs, it's good for that, and if you like roasted veggies, it's perfect for that too. My oven has an air fry function, but it doesn't work as well as a standalone one.

As a single dude who lived in an apartment the air fryer was literally a game changer. If you want to minimize counter space in I’d recommend one the expensive yet versatile ones. my mom gave me a ninja foodie for Christmas that does air frying pressure cooking and slow cooking. The thing slaps. I air fried all my meat as it creates no smoke and the smell is minimal. The clean up is super easy

I have a Ninja foodie which is an air fryer plus insta pot. It's a great space saver. While we don't use either option often, it's nice to have when we do want to use it

We have one too. We use it pretty much on daily basis.

If you’re in North America, there are air fryers that purport to run multiple baskets at the same time (ie: Ninja Dual). Our home power supply will not run both baskets at the same time at full heat; the user’s guide says you have to allow almost double the time if you want to use both baskets at once as the temperature won’t reach full heat. Evidently they do work at full speed in the UK. That being said… I also have a Ninja Foodi multicooker that does the whole slow cooker/pressure cooker/ air fryer thing in one unit. I’ve had four or five air fryers and that’s the one I’ve used the most because the multiple functions are useful for me. For just a dedicated air fryer, make sure it has enough physical space to cook the amount and kind of food you want. For example, french fries are best cooked in one layer. Many air fryers are not sized to cook enough fries to feed four people. Whichever air fryer you choose, you’ll need to peek in and toss/shake/shift your food two or three times during the cooking to get everything to cook evenly, so ensure it’s a convenient size, weight etc.
