Treated myself to a Ninja Foodi

LLamb · 7 Jun 20, 05:11 PM

Our slow cooker was getting a tatty and our steaming keeps leaking so I decided to treat myself to a Ninja Foodi.
I got it from Costco for Ł155 which didn’t think was too bad.

Anyway as first quick try I did frozen curly fries which usually take about 25min in the oven. Well on the tender crisp they were done in 15m. The basket is also big enough for all of us (2a2c)

So far so good. Anybody have a tips or what really to cook in it.

Thank You

We have one too! I bought it a couple of weeks ago. I think I paid Ł199 in the sale so now I feel hard done by 😉
We’ve made a biryani and bhajis. We were impressed!

I've just Brought one too, it's the best kitchen gadget ever. Not sure if your on FB but i have joined a couple of groups on there for tips and recipes. Have a look at the salted pepper vlogs on YouTube too. I did a whole chicken tonight in under 30 minutes. 15 minutes PC then 12 minutes AF. Love it

Thank you both. I think I was lucky that Costco had them. There was only four left.
Yes I’ve seen the salted pepper
YouTube videos. I’ll go a look at the Facebook groups now.
Yes I’m going to try a chicken next. I like the idea of just being able to use it for smaller things too like spring tools or bhajis without heating the whole oven up.
Also had a bit of kitchen cupboard clear out so I had a cupboard to store it in!

Ours is living life on the worktop, squidged into a corner! It won’t fit in any of our cupboards. The pressure cooker lid is the only bit I could find cupboard space for!

I've been looking at these but we're a house of 2 A and 3 C, would you mind me asking what size you purchased? Thanks
