    Just got one as a gift last week. Used it every day so far this last week. It is an incredible appliance. It does what it's says and more. Yogurt... Homemade Greek yogurt. Banana bread, meatloaf, the best fastest garlic Parm wings, chicken quesadillas, western omelettes & biscuits, tatertot cheesy taco bake, cheesecake and a great steak. I'm quite impressed and the cooking time is 1/2-1/3 less time. It's fun and super easy to use.

    I’ve had my Ninja 5 in 1 grill (unfortunately it’s not the XL 😢) for 3 years and use it all the time. My only complaint is that the grill is only 10” square and the handles are in the way sometimes. One tip I’ve found to help clean the grill is to add water and run the machine for about 5 minutes. It loosens any stuck on food.

    I bought one of these recently. Really appreciate ;your video. Considering that the only fail is the carrots, not bad. I have used an air fryer for about 4 years now. Started with the pot belly one which I still like a lot but ended up getting one that I could also use as a toaster oven and some other functions 2 years ago. Have not been impressed with steaks done in either versions. I think this will be the game changer. Thank you so much for your review and your tips and helps.

  • @DougCarnivore
    @DougCarnivore 2 года назад +4

    Sirs…when I first saw 40+ minutes on your video I thought it would be full of silliness. My hand was on FF just in case. I put down my Apple Remote because simply stated, your video was absolutely FANTASTIC. Just the right amount of humor! I was hooked when the manufacturer said don’t place the entire unit in the oven or dishwasher🤪😆. I’m being slightly facetious, of course. A little disappointed in the temp probe and your probe on the Chix temp but I’d rather have it done then not. Keep up the great work, Sirs.

    Best review I have ever seen! I have this, I let it set for a few months, it was so intimidating to me. I have actually only cooked meat in it. It has been perfect! Strange, my burgers or anything else for that matter has not smoked. I certainly don't wash the grate every time. I have not used the air fryer part, still a tad confused on how the settings work. 😊
    Anyway, perfect review....thank you!

    Well done. 1st time viewer. There air fryer toaster ovens, got one for my

    Was very interested in your review.
    I have a Smokeless electric grill I got from HSN here in the US. Fabulous product! Use it a lot. The devise is not 100 % Smokeless but if you activate fan it does reduce the smoke significantly!
    Actually got 2 of them and gave a few to family members as gifts. Not sure I will get one of these since we have enough of the type of product. But your review addressed my curiosity.

Used the meat probe and put it on the higher side or medium rare. Came out perfect and tender, was blown away by the results

Just a note before I freeze my meat , I always put my spices or rubs on the meat. I only vacuum seal chicken individually. Sometimes I want something different than my son. The frozen to cook is great if you forgot to pull something out for donner 😊.

    Excellent video! Love your sense of humour with eachother. I have just brought this model and I have made a roast chicken with potatoes, curry in base on bake, pasta sauce on bake, chips and fish fingers on airfryer, bacon and sausages. One thing I’ve learned is it takes less time to cook on certain things. Haven’t used my oven since buying it.
    Wondering about difference in probe temperatures? Mine matched my own one but I’m in Uk. Was the chicken dry at all? 😊

      From my experience with this air fryer, I think the probe doesn't work well when you stick it in half way through the cook. I've tried with frozen steaks a couple of times and it always comes out undercooked. Could be that the oil/heat from outside as you put it in affects the measurement of the meat's internal temperature

    This is easily one of the best reviews I’ve ever watched. I truly appreciate how detailed you are through everything. I 100% plan on getting one because like your brother, I don’t grill outside during the winter lol. I only have one issue though, which one do I get! Do I get the first generation which is what you reviewed, or do I get the second generation of this grill? Oh btw! You can air fry without the crisper basket, you can actually just use the bottom basket if you needed more room. I learned that from another reviewer.

    Here's a thought. Throw a bunch of burgers (or anything you like to grill) on your outside grill. Cook halfway and let cool off a little. Vacuum seal them individually and put in freezer. You can prepare in bulk or small batches...whatever. Then you can pull them out of the freezer anytime and throw them on the Ninja. Happy grilling my friends from the great white north.

      @@TheAverageKitchen - Since you're a grillin' man, here's one more. Take a pork shoulder (Boston butt roast) and put a good dry rub on it overnight in the fridge. Next day fire up your grill and mix up a bowl of basting sauce...1/2 white vinegar and 1/2 hot sauce. Cook 30 minutes per pound and turn once every 30 minutes. Brush or spray on some basting sauce every time you turn. Your roast will be almost done at the end of this (40 minutes per pound would entirely cook the roast on the grill). Take your nearly done roast and put it in a dutch oven with a cup of water. Put in a 300 degree oven and let it slow cook until the roast falls apart. Remove the roast and put in a large bowl. Remove any large pieces of fat. Pull the pork apart. Stir in your favorite bbq sauce...however much you want. And there you go, the best BBQ on earth. I take almost all of my bbq and put it into tupperware containers in the freezer for later use. I actually hold of on the bbq sauce until I take my shredded pork out of the freezer and add it in as I heat up small portions of bbq.

    Thanks for the review! I am going to buy this one. I never had any luck with air fryers and vegetables, excluding french fries. I think the secret is brushing a little oil on them first, but haven't tried it. By the way, what brand of Fries did you cook? They looked good! I always buy the one that doesn't taste good or cook good.

    Job well done Canadian neighbors, I just got one for cheap ($164.85) at Kohl’s here in the States. Looking forward to trying it out with some T-Bone Steaks... Mmmmm
    FYI: try seasoning you're chicken then placing them vacuum bag and place them in the refrigerator overnight, then place them in the freezer until ready to cook. When you are ready to cook them I would not cook them frozen, I would place them back into the refrigerator and let them thaw out then place the on the Foodi Smart Indoor Grill. Anyways keep up the good work.

    Just a guess but I am thinking that the “no flip” is meant for people who do not like to cook and don’t want to have to mess with it. Meaning you can flip it if you want that perfect cook but if you are not worried about it you don’t have to flip it.

    I bought mine on Wednesday and I’m going to try it out today! I’m so excited and this video did help a lot! I do have a question and it might be a dumb one but, do you add oil to anything that you cooked? Since the instructions for mine says it recommends Canola/Avocado/Mala oil only 🤔

    • @TheAverageKitchen
      @TheAverageKitchen  2 года назад +1

      Yes I always add oil (according to the cooking chart found in the book). And yes I use avocado oil, I believe because it doesn't burn as easily as olive oil or vegetable oil. Thanks for watching! - J

    Hello guys,
    Nice review, couple of comments, it is actually non smokeless….It is true you won’t see the smoke like when bbq-ing, but still, there is a steam… you won’t see because of the big vortex…. Also good point about the pan and the grill…. will they scratch themselves in time…. All I saw, the machine/ unit superior rim got scratched. Anything else is kosher, it does perform as advertise but keep in mind the common sense when cooking. It is good for those freezing days when the BBQ would be an “adventure”. Cheers and Bon Appétit!😎
