IS IT WORTH THE HYPE?! Ninja Dual Zone Air Fryer Review

[@graceyblossom]

Hey 👋🏼 Hope you find this review helpful let me know if you have any questions and I’ll try and answer them 😊

[@magdawnukowska1571]

Hi there u mentioned about steam while using it. I had my from yesterday and did my first batch of chips and the steam on my cupboards, wall and window was horrendous, it did make me wonder if it actually broke one , as I can't cook with that steam as my kitchen will get damp very quickly 😞

[@LoJoPe]

I never knew we could use glass in Air fryer? So can we use silicon baskets too to cook in Air friers?

[@fabianmckenna8197]

I have the larger 9.5 litre Ninja and it's fantastic......... Sausages, chicken breasts, drumsticks, wings, whole chicken, burgers, steaks, salmon fillets, beef joints, pork roast, pies, lasagna, etc. Garlic bread comes out crisp yet soft on the inside. Pretty well anything you cook in an oven, you can cook in this. Also brilliant at reheating food....... Chips come out crisp not soggy like in a microwave and chicken drumsticks, thighs etc get nice crispy skin again. Faster and cheaper and waited 12 months for it to get restocked but well worth the money £200. Cleaning is a breeze with the non stick plates so i just soak the trays in hot soapy water then rinse out after ten minutes. Occasionally i will run them through the dishwasher without issue, no fancy cleaning stuff required. Ninja instructions are also great with timings and temperature settings available for most commercially bought foodstuffs.

I purchased the 9ltr duel Tower air fryer recently. It was only £130 from Argos, it has a 3 yr warranty & viewing windows with lights, so you can check the food without opening the draw! Just thought I'd put that out there for anyone who wanted something a little cheaper. They all work the same way.... Convector heater and fan.

[@sierragoodenough0713]

I've had mine for a over a few years i love it. I can cook 2, 5 pound chickens in each drawer if needed. I absolutely love it. It was a hassle at first but then I got used to it.

I ordered one today and then found your review. Thanks so much for setting my mind at rest. Subscribed, because you're a great communicator. Looking forward to seeing more of your vids.

[@graceyblossom]

Thanks so much ☺️ enjoy your Ninja! ✨

[@nickjanssens]

Totally agree especially the bit about the oven, not used mine at all. Initially I stuck to Ninja recipe timings, don’t now, stick it on for a bit longer and check part way. My wife’s stroke means I am the cook, I now enjoy cooking rather than it being something I have to do.

[@graceyblossom]

It’s brilliant isn’t it! 😀

[@danganbeg7225]

I hope your wife is good

[@rg-web-design]

Great advice. Thank you. Ordered the Pyrex dish (x2) and the racks. Cheers.

[@rectify2003]

I recently bought mine and love it. I think as an accessory, you could buy 1 large drawer that could fit in Including the 2 drawers that come with it

[@VitaSchagen]

Honestly, It's the best review I've seen about Ninja Dual! Thank you very much for your efforts to making this video. I got mine Ninja 2 days ago but didn't try it yet😊

Brilliant video, thank you. I’m one of those people that has spent a year thinking ‘shall I get an air fryer?’ This has helped a lot! 🎉

[@graceyblossom]

Don’t waste anymore time !! 😊

Mines just arrived! Cost me £145 on Amazon actually it the next size up. Each basket is 4.5 litre capacity . Haven t opened the box yet! Great to have videos like your s to help beginners out.

[@graceyblossom]

Thanks for watching ! Enjoy 😁

[@chris_3636]

We've just bought this air fryer, well the slightly larger one actually, and I was looking for tips and ideas. Delighted to find your video. We're looking forward to exploring the opportunities. Early experience has shown us just how much flavour the food retains. A whole roast chicken and a pack of sausages from frozen were our first efforts and they were amazing. Thanks for sharing 👍 x x

[@graceyblossom]

So glad you found it helpful ☺️

[@janetroberts2262]

I have the 9.5l dual and I can roast a large chicken in it. I have 1l glass dishes with clip on lids from ikea and I make a foil sling to lift them out. I wash my drawers and inserts in hot soapy water and my scrub daddy with no issues.

Brought a Ninja 2 door for family almost 2 weeks ago. Haven't used it cause it looks so very complicated & hard to use. My step kids knew how to use it from being at their grandparents house. Wife said it was her first time using it though I have told her that I think she has used it before cause it was easy for her which she denies & wasn't happy with me saying it lol! Wife said she would teach me but I feel it is very complicated.

[@telwood15]

If your cooking for a family then for not a lot more you can get a regular size fitted oven which today are energy efficient and you don't have to think whether or not food will fit.

[@theophilus7422]

I was deciding whether or not to buy this (or possibly the larger model). Now, I am buying the Ninja Foodi. Great review. Take care, from Canada.

[@graceyblossom]

Fantastic ! Enjoy your ninja 😁

Hi, can you point to where I can get one of those heatproof metal protectors from please?

Found one here have also linked in the description - they’re great I use them daily amzn.to/3SJkwH1

[@grahamjohnson4702]

Ikea do some good dishes and if you are not close enough their delivery charges are very cheap, you can make a tin foil sling for lifting out containers, lots of videos to show you this.

[@marianaorbezo3045]

Are the inserts telfon free?

[@hudsonrilke]

great review. we have an airfryer and could do with 2 drawers, costco has a version of this in the black friday sale, may get one

[@annalevermore7857]

one issue is possibly only space not surrounded by cupboards i would need extension lead. I'm told not to use one by Currys shop. Any advice? I know you find condensation above where you put it but i may only have that area with cupboards surround to put it. Small flat. Looking at Black Friday 23 deals

[@graceyblossom]

Sorry for delayed reply I use mine with an extension lead due to similar space issues

[@johnb6749]

Great video - but I did burst out laughing when I saw those gigantic gauntlets! There's a simple 'dish lifter' that folk use to lift the dishes out of the trays.... Those gauntlets look like something Darth-Vader would wear for a light-saber duel.....

[@skeelo69]

All Depends...i have a Panasonic intelligent oven that is a microwave plus high power convection oven. Imo.. better.

Thanks for the review, I'll buy one 🙂👍

Does this have grill setting for steaks please. Thanks!

There’s no grill setting but you can cook steaks on the air fryer setting, the new ninja bbq has grill functions I have a review on that if you’re interested to watch thank you 😊

[@festidious2644]

I'm looking forward to your review on this model. What really hit me though was at 0:48 with the nice view of your family. It was strongly impressed upon me that, this is what the WHO, WEF and our world leaders want to destroy, the normal family. Didn't mean to get political but that is what hit me. Thank you, Gracey; this is the one I have been looking at.

[@lenimbery7038]

It would be better if there was just one large wide drawer with a removable partition in the middle. That way it could still be used for dual temp. cooking or one large item

[@graceyblossom]

Agree!

[@lenimbery7038]

@@graceyblossom I see that they make exactly that now too but I went with this one as it’s a bit smaller and if I need to roast larger things like turkeys I can just use my regular oven

[@nickjeffrey8050]

Can get another branded dual fryer for 89.99 so is the ninja worth the price tag of £200?? Please honest answer from you. Thanks

[@graceyblossom]

Good question, have to weigh up how many functions the other branded ones have and if you’d get the use from them. I use multiple functions on the ninja all the time. Can make amazing roast potatoes on the roast function while using the other draw to air fry. I use mine every day so has been 💯 worthwhile investment for me personally. They might have Black Friday offers on the ninja soon too so worth looking out for Thanks

[@mrsdee144]

Very fair and impartial review thanks for the content. Just about to buy one but researching the dual zone and the new flexidrawer. Would you think the huge flexi 10.4l with dual zone ootion a better way to go over two seperater trays?

[@grahamjohnson4702]

Pros and cons on this for instance you can do larger items if you need too but difficult when you need to shake one side for instance but not the other, and the biggest con it is a bit pricey, if you really want one see if others are doing it.

[@graceyblossom]

Thanks for watching I’m afraid I don’t know much about the new flexidraw one sorry x

[@amortalbeing]

I bought ours, and after using it for a few days now, I'd say it isn't worth it when you have an oven! I have the AF400 one by the way!

[@richardclavering5246]

My favourite kitchen device

[@pikricky]

If you make a folded tin foil sling to put in the tray first and the dish on the top you can easily lift it out by the tails of the tin foil,good review,I have an 8Ltr Instant Pot Duo Crisp+ Air Fryer and I use it every day,my oven is now a cupboard for accessories ,I am considering buying one of those as it's reduced in Curry's to £169 and if you take in an old appliance working or not you get another £25 off,great deal

[@Mikeyp1054]

Good video but i personally cant see anyone never using their oven again or you all literally have to eat exactly the same things every day and with kids id say thats impossible unless you say do yours then theirs separately meaning the energy used is exactly the same virtually having to put it on twice,just my opinion but every family's different 😊

[@soniasmith7968]

Iv got the bigger one I love it cooker up for sale

[@mackyjack3929]

I can vent mine through my kitchen window 👍

[@miravlix]

The non stick coating always feel greasy even when it's clean, that is part of what makes it non stick to food, because your hand is food to the non stick coating... Seems everyone has forgotten about 30+ years of teflon pot and pans, it was the same with them. You can scrape it off with a wet paper bag, so it takes a bit to get used to it and I see people destroying their fryers with metal tools and harsh cleaning on youtube.

What about liquid stuff like a casserole or soup.

I am very curious how is your experience with those things? Thank you 🫶🏻
