Ninja Foodi Dual Zone Digital Air Fryer, 2 Drawers, 6-in-1, Black AF300UK

The best thing about this product is that it pays for itself through energy savings Since getting this Ninja my deep fat fryer is now obsolete, my grill is almost obsolete and my oven hasn't been used since. This product cooks great chips but one does have to learn a little first. When cooking chips it's critical that one folows the instructions and washes the potato starch out before air frying them otherwise they will burn. Next one needs to work out the times and temperatures for different potato varieties as cooking times do vary between the different types. Once one has a good idea of the cooking times and temperatures chips are quickly produced in the air fryer. Although the air fryer works well there are the other options available; Roast, Bake, Dehydrate, Max Crisp and reheat. As the saying goes, "practice makes perfect" and it certainly applies to this Ninja. One has fun messing with this product as one tries to find the best and most successful way to cook food. Roasting duck breasts is a typical example. I have cooked them with the Roast option but I have found that they cook best by giving them 8 minutes on Roast followed by six minutes on Max crisp to get the skin well cooked and crispy. As my images show, this "compact cooker" roasts some great chicken quarters. The same applies with the chicken as it does the duck, partially roast the chicken and finish off using the max crisp setting which operates at 240c and that is 10c higher than domestic ovens so it cooks and crisps skin perfectly and quickly. I have used this Ninja for toasting garlic bread slices and it does it much quicker and much better than my Solarplus grill does so that is something exceptional. As this Ninja has much smaller cavities than a domestic oven it can rapidly heat up, that is how it works. When cooking there is no need to preheat the Ninja as the cavities reach their temperatures in a matter of a small few seconds and that is where the energy savings come into play. By not having to pay to preheat a large cavity domestic oven ones uses much less energy thus one isn't paying the 30p+ per kWh for an element that requires a 3.6+kWh input. If one has a cheap cooker then it's cheap for a reason... it needs more energy thus it would probably use a good kWh just to preheat the oven so one can easily be paying 40p to 50p just to warm the oven up. A more expensive cooker, like mine, can have triple glazing in the oven doors thus they are much more enrgy efficient and save money when comared to cheaper cookers. As the Ninja only has to heat up a small space the food is cooking almost immediately and it does cook evenly. I did mention duck, chicken and garlic bread but what about roasting coffee beans? I did think about it and after doing a little reading online I tried it. I don't advise using this Ninja for roasting coff beans as it does become "expensive". Many people claim that one can get a "dark roast" in six to eight minutes, with others claiming it takes around 15 minutes. Well, I don't believe any of them have actually tried it as even after a good 1/2 hour the beans were only light roasted. To get a dark roast will tale close to one hour at the highest temperature so that becomes costly for a small amount of coffe bean. One can invest in a domestic coffee bean roaster but personally I do prefer to do it the traditional way, which is much more cost effective. One simply puts the beans into a pan (frying pans are good for this) or a traditional roasting pan that imported. Next, one simply heats the pan on a high heat hob or gas burner for a few minutes. Whilst the beans are roasting one simply stirs them around from time to time. A light roast, like what the Ninja produced, can be obtianed in only two to three minutes with a dark raost taking around five mionutes. What the Ninja produced in 1/2 hour would have taken me around 10 minutes and I would have got two small batches of dark roast for my espressos. So, this Ninja is excellent for cooking almost anything but there will be the exception such as my fresh green bean coffee.It is so easy to keep clean so that is a very good bonus One thing I did note from some negative reviews is that some reviewers gave negative ratings and claimed the product is fauly because "lots of steam" was coming out. Well, I can honestly say that is not the case. The problem is not with the Ninja but is with the user. During my second use of this I seen some steam coming out and instantly worked it out that the pan hadn't been insertred correctly. When using the Ninja it is important to insert the pans flush so that they are firmply sealed with the machione otherwise steam will escape thus cooking will be uneven and will take longer. As soon as I seen the steam I simply pulled pan number one out a bit and reinserted it thus no more steam. Another issue with those that cook with incorrectly positioned pans is that apart fromcosting more to cook the food and not cooking the food well... it will dry the food.The steam from the cooking food is part of the cooking process and helps keep the food moist but losing the water will mean the food, especially meats, will go dry. Overall I am impressed with my Ninja and I should have bought one much sooner than I did as it is saving me money, it is saving me a lot of time and most importantly it produces some excellently cooked food. One day I will risk it and try to make some jam in it and maybe even dehydrate some fruits. If successful thenit will mean my dehydrater will become obsolete aling with my deep fat fryer. I am recommending this product as it is made to a high quality standard, it works very well and with the energy and cost savings this is very good value.

We've been putting off buying an air fryer for quite a while, not being sure if we wanted or needed one. After watching the Ch4 show with Denise Van Outen we decided to take the plunge. We've had it for 3 weeks now & it was an excellent purchase. It's a nice fit on our kitchen worktop, the mains lead isn't very long though, so take that into consideration. We decided to try something easy for our first attempt at cooking a meal & went for chicken dippers & fries, both cooked on the Max Crisp option. It was a success & tasted very nice. It was a bit of guesswork at first with further meals, mainly on the time settings. For the temperature we have kept to what the guideline is on the packet of food we are cooking. For the timing, we have used a method mentioned online, & that is to knock 25% of the guideline on the packet, & this has worked well. So, if it says to cook for 20 minutes in an oven on the packet, then cook for 15 minutes instead. When using Max Crisp though, the temperature is set at 240 degrees. The Max Crisp option doesn't seem to be for too many food items, so most of our cooking has been done with the Air Fry option which works very well. The only other option we've tried is Roast & that was for carrots which also turned out fine. We haven't tried Dehydrate, Defrost, or Bake, so can't comment on those options. The option to sync the cooking times if using both cooking trays is brilliant. At the moment, some companies are putting cooking times for air fryers on their packets, which is handy, but there's a long way to go yet before they all do. I did read that Iceland is rolling out an air fryer aisle for their branches. What we're doing until everyone is on board is to keep a notebook going with details of how we have cooked a meal. So, for example, we have written " crinkle cut chips, 12 minutes, Max Crisp or cod in breadcrumbs, 200 degrees, 15 minutes, Air Fry or steak pie, 190 degrees, 22 minutes, Air Fry ". Suffice it to say, once you have the hang of the air fryer it is very easy to use. I should point out that there are two of us using it, I'm not sure how it would be for a large family who all eat at the same time due to the amount of space in the cooking trays. Speaking of which, when it comes to cleaning the cooking trays & the shelves that come with them, again, it's very easy. There has been talk of needing silicon insert trays or using baking paper but it is so easy & quick to wash the cooking trays & shelves that it isn't really necessary for those items. I would recommend buying silicon tongs though for turning food & taking the food out when cooked. To summarise, it's a great product, cooks food really well & does it faster than an oven which should help with electricity bills & it's easy to clean. If you've been thinking of buying one we can definitely recommend it.

I’ve been using the Ninja Dual Zone Air Fryer for a while now and it’s honestly one of the best kitchen appliances I’ve bought. The dual drawers are a game changer because you can cook two different foods at different temperatures and timings at the same time, which makes preparing meals so much easier. I’ve cooked everything from chicken wings and chips to vegetables and salmon, and the results have been consistently great. It’s also surprisingly easy to clean thanks to the non-stick drawers and dishwasher-safe parts. Although it takes up a bit of counter space, the performance and convenience more than make up for it. It’s perfect for families, meal prep, or anyone who wants fast, healthier cooking without compromising on taste. I’d definitely recommend the Ninja Dual Zone Air Fryer to anyone thinking about getting an air fryer.

The ninja dual zone Air fryer has a huge 7.6 L total capacity. There is two individual baskets which are 3.8 L each. It has six programs, which are Air fry, roast, bake, dehydrate, Max crisp and reheat. If you are only going to use one of the baskets then zone one is the default zone to cook with, but what I particularly like about this is that for instance you can air fry at 200° in zone one for 30 minutes and you can roast in zone two at 180° for 20 minutes at the same time by pressing sync and then start. This will start zone one and when it reaches the 20 minute timer zone two will come off of hold and start roasting. If you remove the basket such as for chips to give them a shake, then the timer will pause until The basket is re-inserted and if both zones are cooking it will pause both timers. The other option that I really like which is nice and easy and can maximise your output if you’re cooking the same thing, For example if you had to Air fryer 1.5 kg of chips. Then place your chips in both baskets and on the zone one display enter in your temperature timer and press match then start. This will duplicate all of the information to zone two, Which makes it easy and super efficient. The max crisp is set at 240° and this is the only function that The temperature can’t be changed, and it could be set to a maximum time of 30 minutes. The air fryer function can be set between 150 and 210° and has a time range between 1 minute to 1 hour. The roast function allows you to use the ninja as a conventional oven which has a temperature range of 120 to 210° and has a timer that can be set from one minute to four hours. The reheat function has a temperature setting of 130 to 210° and can be set from 1Minute to One hour. The dehydrate function allows you to gently remove moisture from meat, vegetables and fruits. This temperature can be set between 40 to 90° and has a set time of up to 12 hours allowing you to create healthy snacks. The bake function means that you don’t have to wait the usual 10 to 15 minutes that your conventional oven would take to pre-heat Which is perfect if you just want to knock up a quick dessert. The temperature setting is 120 to 210° and has a time range between 1 minute to 4 hours. This ninja air fryer is super easy to clean, compare to my previous Tower Air fryer baskets. Overall we are very satisfied with our purchase as it has so many functions, Not just an air fryer. I hope you have found my review helpful.

The Ninja Foodi Dual Zone air fryer has been extremely useful and quickly became a regular part of my cooking routine. It's very easy to use, and the dual-zone feature is great for cooking two different foods at the same time without having to juggle timing. Everything I've made so far has cooked evenly and come out well. My only minor complaint is that the power cable is a bit short, which may limit where you can place it on the counter. Other than that, I've had no issues at all. Overall, it's a reliable, convenient air fryer that does exactly what it promises and is well worth it if you want flexibility and ease of use.

I purchased this air fryer for £119. I’ve owned three air fryers before this one, but this is by far the best I’ve ever used. Pros: -Easy to use. Don’t let all the buttons put you off, it’s actually very simple, even a caveman could figure it out. -Large drawer size. It holds a huge amount of food; you could easily feed the 5000 with this! -The sync function is brilliant. For example, if you have chips in drawer 1 for 15 minutes and chicken in drawer 2 for 10 minutes, you just hit sync and it will hold the second drawer until the times match, so both dishes finish cooking at the same time. No more juggling hot plates or reheating food in the microwave. -Excellent oil drainage. For some reason, this air fryer seems to suck the excess oil off frozen chips far better than any of my previous models. The amount of oil left under the tray at the end is shocking. -Very easy to clean, and the trays are nice and lightweight. -Fast cooking. It cooks food noticeably quicker than other air fryers I’ve owned. Cons: -When you first get it, the metal trays can be quite stiff and hard to remove from the drawers, but they do loosen up with use. -The tray has a handle to pull it out of the draw, and food sometimes slips underneath through the handle and ends up in the oily bottom of the drawer. It can also squash softer foods like chips when you shake them, as they bash against the metal handle. (I’ve added a photo to show what I mean.) Apart from those minor issues, this is a really good machine. It cooks food extremely well and feels like it will last a long time thanks to its superb build quality.

Got this air fryer to replace a cheaper one we had used and abused (single bigger drawer one) which still worked but was definitely showing signs of heavy usage! This model has a bigger overall size but fits perfectly where our old one was I picked this model as it was on sale but mainly because it has 2 separate cooking zomes and although they are smaller than our old models massive single zone they actually work better as you have many more options to cook with allowing different things cooking at different times and temperatures and setting them to finish at the same time or just using both zones for the same type of food or occasions when you use just one smaller zone on its own! This model does seem to cook faster than our old one (maybe to do with smaller zones) and is very easy to clean and the times and temperatures are much easier to set as they are digital and our old one was dials for both temperature and time Only thing I could put as a downside is this one does seem to be quite a bit louder than our old one but not enough to knock off a star All in all a great air fryer that I would highly recommend

This is brilliant. My 2nd air fryer and so much better than my first. 2 drawers is just perfect and it'll do far more than air fry. I've had it a month now and have only used my oven once. It's easy to use, easy to keep clean and looks so good. Food comes out of it perfectly cooked. So far I've done breaded chicken, frozen chips a joint of lamb, lamb chops, sausages, tomatoes and roast potatoes. No failures so far. I've had both drawers going at the same time and also working on independent cooking with no problem. Dishwasher safe that's a big plus.

Super tolles teil,bin total zufrieden und kann es nur jedem empfehlen.

I've been really impressed with the Ninja Foodi Dual Zone Digital Air Fryer. The dual-drawer design is incredibly convenient, allowing me to cook two different foods at different temperatures and have them finish at the same time. The food comes out crispy, evenly cooked, and much faster than using a conventional oven. It's easy to use, simple to clean, and has become one of my most-used kitchen appliances. My only criticism is that the drawers are a little smaller than I expected. While they're fine for everyday meals, fitting larger portions or bigger items can be challenging,

Normal

I’m not a fancy cook, but this Ninja air fryer has made life so much easier! I love how simple it is to use—just pop the food in, press a few buttons, and it’s done. No guesswork, no mess. The dual zones are amazing—I can cook two different things at the same time. Everything comes out crispy and tasty without all the oil. Cleaning is super easy too. We’ve used it almost every day since we got it. Totally worth it and makes cooking fun again!
