"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."

"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 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."
"FWIW this is one of the best things I’ve ever bought for my kitchen - only use the big oven for large scale baking these days."

"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."
"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."

We have this model. Can confirm it cooks unevenly. You can counteract it if you’re mindful to turn the food through the cooking process, but it can be a pain
r/airfryer • What airfryer should I get ->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 ->Ja mialam xiaomi i jest wspanialy. Pozniej kupilam ninja max 9.5 litra z 2 szufladami. Ale jedzienie mi lepiej wychodzi w duzo tanszym xiaomi. Ktore również sie przypomina zeby pomieszac. Teraz stoja dwa i uzywam na zmianę zalezy co gotuję.
r/Polska • Air fryer - teflonowe rozkminy i jakie typy warto rozwazyc ->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? ->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 ->It's not the best. Definite differences in heat levels between the front and back of the drawers so you have to move things round more than you ah pull. Zero preheat time though and it's got a small footprint for so much capacity.
r/airfryer • What airfryer should I get ->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
