  • We still use those big old fashioned box shaped things with a door that we called an oven.
    Not sure how much cooking you do, but a fryer and over do different things
    Gordon Ramsey here. If I put chicken in the oven without any oil what does an air fryer do different to the oven? You You can't fry battered fish in an air fryer any more than you can in an oven, the batter would just run off before it set, you can only coat it with a dry mix like breadcrumbs.
    Tbh I'm not sure why I care enough to be posting here lol
    I was just looking for an argument :smile:
    No you weren't
  • Have a ninja foodi and it's awesome 
  • Where are you ninja owners finding the recipes ?
    Yeah I realise this seems a daft question these days but I’ve checked out some books on Amazon and the reviews are not impressive. Written for American market rather than ours. Just wondered what I’m missing ?

    Was it the Five minute argument or the full half hour?
  • Got one of these, which is basically the Ninja for half the price

    Got this one, barely use the oven now (at the most sunday roast), all other foods chips, jackets, pies, readymeals, etc cooked in the air fryer in 20 mins or so. Very impressed. Recommend the two zones so you can cook different meals at the same time.
  • Wife swears by the ninja, I think she might be encouraging it to give me a kick in.

  • Got a few NInja bits including the BBQ smoker. Can't fault any of them
  • Got a 15-1 as well as a duel, not touched the oven for two years.
    Sunday dinner cooked in an hour what’s not to like.
    It taught me how to cook 😉
  • Son stayed over at a mates last night & came back saying we need to get one. I had thought of getting one just before xmas in the Black Friday sales but left it too late.  

    What's everyone suggesting....a Ninja or something else ?  And at what cost ?  The Black Friday deal was reduction from £229 down to £179. 
  • Not only is fried air delicious, it's also very low in calories
  • Definitely get a twin draw air fryer.

    If you can do it I’d suggest the 15-1 it does everything and is sizeable if you have guests.
    It Pressure cooks as well as airfryer and everything in between.

    The Ninja 9L dual drawer was back down to £179 at Currys when I ordered it the other day. Plus another 10%. Off if you trade in any old appliance that you have gathering dust. I get discounts at Currys through work plus went through Quidco so got it for just over £140
  • We got a instant vortex twin drawer back in Feb last year...oven...what oven?? Cooks food so much faster and at half the price of running a conventional oven...no brainer.

    My girlfriends microwave broke, so i bought her a 26ltr microwave/air fryer combi. It's a little larger than a regular microwave, big enough to air fry a whole large chicken (not that we have).

    I'd recommend if you need a new microwave, £200.

  • An air ‘fryer’ is just a small oven.
