Absolutely I have Ninja Foodi Smart XL Grill and we use it nearly everyday day you can grill chicken with nice charr in about 15 minutes or less I make it for salads, chicken teriyaki, for chipotle style burritos, you can definitely make steak, french fries come out just like they’ve been deep-fried you can toast sandwiches literally everything bagels use it like a toaster over makes great grilled cheeses reheats food very well.
r/Cooking • Do you have an air fryer? Should I get one? ->I have the ninja XL smart grill. It does a lot and it is the easiest air fryer for the kids to use too. I've made just about everything in it from steaks to flatbreads. It's a footprint but instead of warming up the big oven for / whatever / I can just bake, grill or air fry. Edit: often in a fraction of the time.
r/Cooking • Do you have an air fryer? Should I get one? ->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? ->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 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/Cooking • Do you have an air fryer? Should I get one? ->Imam ninja foodi xl sa 2 korpe, smart verzija. Najčešće spremam piletinu i pomfrit. Ubaciš čitavo pile, ubodeš termometar i to je to. Ima recepata milion, spremaju ljudi svašta. Recimo bilo šta svinjsko ne volim stavljati u airfryer jer mi bude suvo, dok piletina bude savršeno sočna.
r/AskSerbia • [deleted by user] ->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? ->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? ->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 • Does anyone have a fritaire air fryer? Or a different recommendation? ->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 • Does anyone have a fritaire air fryer? Or a different recommendation? ->Specifically the ninja foodi. No Teflon.
r/BuyItForLife • Does anyone have a fritaire air fryer? Or a different recommendation? ->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 • Does anyone have a fritaire air fryer? Or a different recommendation? ->Still works like new!
r/BuyItForLife • Does anyone have a fritaire air fryer? Or a different recommendation? ->I second Ninja. I use my Ninja Foodi XL almost everyday. I’m almost ashamed. Feels like such a cheat to cooking haha! Gifted it to multiple relatives and they love it too.
