Ma’am this is one of the best reviews I have seen. It’s so real and relatable. I bought a Speedi recently and today after the review I made the best and easiest steam crisp potatoes
I followed another RUclipsr and did a 3.95 lb. Chicken on Steam and Crisp with 1 cup of water, 350 degrees for 20 minutes. Absolutely perfect! I temp probed it to make sure it was done. The chicken was so moist inside and crispy outside.
Thank you for sharing! I agree, 1 cup of water is good for about 20 mins of steam time. I obviously underestimated the power of this thing and used a higher temp AND a longer cook time the first time. I now do my chicken at 350 for about 25-30 mins as I like it very tender until it's fall of the bone! 😁
Hello there, I found this really informative and with all the examples it really helps new user to understand. I used to have one of these, but I ended up sending it back and bought an instant pot and an cosori air fryer to replace it. I think the fan in my ninja was faulty and when I tried to use the slow cooking method, it basically just boiled my stewing steak to leather, even on the low setting. I had to bin the whole meal and sent the unit back. I would like to say that ninja customer services were amazing and even though I was sending it back, they were lovely over the whole thing. I am buying another one, I love my other appliances, but this has been missed in my kitchen, so easy to use he he! Keep up the great work, people need reviews like yours! Take care Jane
Yes, Unfortunately, it all comes down to trial and error and I say this all the time when I review a new cooking appliance. One thing I did notice is this is very powerful, perhaps reducing the time & temp may help? I appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. All the best! 🙂
Thank you very much for your kind comment, it means a lot. I will try creating a couple more meal ideas, but there are so many good food creators I may be out of my league LOL! 😁 (coming from an average mom who just wants to get food on the table! 🤣)
Thank you for this review. Your preparation of the unit BEFORE use was very much appreciated as elsewhere there were complaints about the smell, which I assume is decreased with this type of prep.
Anyone with a new speedi, please do not run it on air fry when empty for 20mins. In the manual it says specifically to run it for maximum 10mins if there is nothing in the basket
At least' 10 mins is recommended. I always like to run it for 20 mins, because it helps to rid most of the smell. 10 mins is not sufficient for me and I know some viewers still find the smell very strong and run it multiple times. Feel free to do what you are happy with.
Very informative video! I use a vegetable scrub brush and some detergent if I need to make something quickly and have forgotten to put the tray and bin in the dishwasher. That no-stick coating really shines when cleaning! BTW,I prefer to cook my sweet potatoes in the microwave,as that is much faster,even than the Speedi!
We're having a Speedi delivered today. This video has made me hungry. Very useful. Just one question - the fish pronounced fillay. I wondered where you were located. Is this a Canadian or American thing? Can't wait to replicate some of these dishes.
Fillet - silent 't' not sure where it's from - I say fillay, some say fillet, but I'm a Brit now living in Canada so my accent is all over the place lol! 😂. Hope you're enjoying your new Speedi!
I waited for 50 minutes and my water evaporated. I have also used the function before this incident and it never took more than 10-12 minutes for 2 cups of water at 350F. I can understand that the lower temp and more water will cause it to take longer than steam & crisp. Mine definitely was defective, but thanks for the sharing the tip.
Most of the time, no. If I run the air fryer on a high temp for a long time (i.e 400F for 50mins+) the counter feels warmish, but not too bad. Hope that helps.
I think the potatoe wedges may need a little extra cook time, either add the fish part way - or take out the fish earlier. Also note, the fish fillet will leave a fishy smell which may linger into the potatoe wedges. My advice, cook the wedges first, then cook the fish fillet, fish cooks quickly and the unit will be hot 😁
Yes, you can. I showed it separately because I was demonstrating the other cooking functions for the purpose of this video. I'm not showing you WHAT to cook, I'm showing you HOW the Speedi cooks.
I ordered it yesterday but I'm not sure if I'm gonna keep it cuz it looks too small. Can anyone please tell me the max amount of dry rice that can be cooked in this guy 😅
Really? I think the size is perfect. The cooking pot holds 18 cups of liquid. I'm going to take a wild guess here but I would think you could make up to 6 cups of rice in this, if not a little more (but don't hold me to it, I'm making an eye judgment here!) I wonder if someone else has tried....
Thanks I'm gonna give it a try and see how much I can cook in it but what I saw online is only little portions on RUclips and no one cooked so much rice or Pasta that's I had my doubts
@@nourdasilva93 yeah, I guess no one was brave enough to make a huge batch lol. I personally don't eat too much rice. If you try it please let us know too! Thank you! 😊
I have a family of 6-8 (depending on who is home) the Speedi has cooked enough food for all of us. It does add a little time to the cooking process when adding additional food. Thank you for the very informative video!
Just purchased the Speedi. The steam/bake setting does not work for me either. I waited 15-20 minutes.....the water eventually boiled off. At no time did the upper element and fan kick on.
Yeah, it's definitely an issue. If it hadn't worked the first couple of times for me, I would've assumed that's how the program works. Anyway, I hope you got managed to get a replacement.😊 👍🏼

Excellent review and reviewer. Thank you. 😊
You're welcome and thank you for the comment, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Great review. I appreciate the demos. Thank you!
My pleasure! 😁
This really helped thank you. Just moved out on my own now I have to cook and bought this product without any idea how to use it.
You're welcome! I'm glad I could help! Hope you are enjoying it! 😊
This is the best Ninja Speedi review out there. Soo useful. Thanks and please consider doing some more meal ideas.
Thank you very much for your kind comment, it means a lot. I will try creating a couple more meal ideas, but there are so many good food creators I may be out of my league LOL! 😁 (coming from an average mom who just wants to get food on the table! 🤣)
Thank you for this review. Your preparation of the unit BEFORE use was very much appreciated as elsewhere there were complaints about the smell, which I assume is decreased with this type of prep.
Yes, cleaning and airing it out definitely helps get rid of the new smell faster. 😀

Don't run it empty then. Just as some water
This is very helpful I finally got it today
Awesome, I’m glad I could help. Enjoy! 😊

@@MeemReviews Yes it's great though we've been so busy we've not used it much yet. Looking forward to exploring the possibilities.
The steam and bake function can take as long as 20mins to preheat, before it time starts. You need to be patient.
I waited for 50 minutes and my water evaporated. I have also used the function before this incident and it never took more than 10-12 minutes for 2 cups of water at 350F.

I need Another crispy tray, where do I get one ?
Very good review 👏
The samething happened to my unit with the heating element as well. Doesn't seem to effect the cooks tho
Thank you, I guess the heating element is likely a common thing, thanks for letting us know!
Ah, looks like it might not be so reliable. Hmm.
Great review and demonstration.
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it! 😊
Nice video , new subscriber. I have the Ninja Speedi and the Ninja Foodie w/ Thermometer , love them both.
Awesome! Thank you! 😀
Great review..thank you!
You're welcome! Glad you enjoyed it! 😁
Very helpful review.
Thank you!
thank you. Can you tell me if the counter it sits on gets hot from the bottom heater element?
Most of the time, no. If I run the air fryer on a high temp for a long time (i.e 400F for 50mins+) the counter feels warmish, but not too bad. Hope that helps.
Very helpful thank you
You're welcome! thanks for the comment! 😊
Excellent review, thank you.
You're welcome! thanks for the comment!
Thank you for this video can I check when u cook fish fillet can I add potato wedges at the same time?
I think the potatoe wedges may need a little extra cook time, either add the fish part way - or take out the fish earlier. Also note, the fish fillet will leave a fishy smell which may linger into the potatoe wedges. My advice, cook the wedges first, then cook the fish fillet, fish cooks quickly and the unit will be hot 😁
You can cook the pasta & fish fillet at the same time, it will take 15 min with rapid cook. Why separate?
Yes, you can. I showed it separately because I was demonstrating the other cooking functions for the purpose of this video. I'm not showing you WHAT to cook, I'm showing you HOW the Speedi cooks.
Thank you such an amazing review. I’ve been using it wrong 😂😅
You’re welcome! Glad it was helpful! 😇
The pasta looks over done. Can this produce al dente pasta because you don’t actually get to drain the starchy pasta water it was cooked in
You reduce the time to 8 mins and add less water if you want it al dente.
thank you for the great video
You're welcome! ☺️
does it have a pressure cooker mode?
No, this one doesn't.
very useful video. thank you
You're welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed it! 😊
What I don’t like is the dripping from the raw hiked dripping down in the rice.
I hear you, but it eventually gets cooked😉
Non si può mettere una teglia x dividere
That’s what I thought…anything raw would get cooked!
Bravo ,👍👌
Thank you!
I ordered it yesterday but I'm not sure if I'm gonna keep it cuz it looks too small. Can anyone please tell me the max amount of dry rice that can be cooked in this guy 😅

5:53 😂😂😂
ok! 🤔
Ma la lingua italiana non esiste?il supporto direi che dovrebbe essere per tutti
I have generated Italian subtitles. I hope this helps. Thank you for bringing it to my attention!😊👍🏼
My fries got burnt😅
lower the temp and check on them part way. 😊
Just purchased the Speedi. The steam/bake setting does not work for me either. I waited 15-20 minutes.....the water eventually boiled off. At no time did the upper element and fan kick on.
