Thanks For this Barry! Love your content ❤❤❤

[@jeanlongsden1696]

Air Fryers are the way to go. I have 2, my first cost £60 in a sale and my second cost £25. I cant see any real difference between the two cooking wise. the only differences are the draws (same capacity), one is square and the other is round. so I use the square one for meats or fish and the round one for chips or veg. I believe the home kitchens of the future will only need 4 electrical items in it. an Air Fryer, Microwave, Kettle and Toaster.

[@TheBazardunet]

you forgot a massive point : the expensive one fries also some idiots ego that they spent more money and it makes them feel better about themself :D

I bought the Instant Pot Air Fryer, 6 Quart but I bought it on sale for 50 less. Life changer and everything so far as come out perfect. This is a good example that I may have saved a little money. But, at the price I got it.. it was a really good deal and a larger square cooking area. Great video as always Barry!

The 2nd drawer is warmer than the the first drawer. Max crisp is also meant to be used after you've finished cooking nornally to crisp up the food.

I have the same ninja as you tested. honestly i have not used anything except the air fry function. I do love it though. For me the big plus is that i can make potatoes or fries in one drawer and grill some veggies in the other.

YES! You’ve made my night with this upload! 0:13 did you say Ginger airfryer? 😂

[@GaminRage]

Lol, I'm not the only one who heard “ginger air fryer.”😂

[@auntlynnie]

Barry. "I did exactly what it said" -- after setting it forty degrees ABOVE the instructions. If you increase the temp, you have to decrease the time.

[@mrbarrylewis]

Nope! I did exactly what it said for frozen chips in the manual! Of course 200c is the normal method as per Hugh but I wanted to test that function!

[@auntlynnie]

I agree with your conclusion: Hugh is a pretty great bargain for the price, but the Ginger is pretty awesome. They're really reaching for two separate markets. I am in general, a fan of the Ginger products. I have the Ginger flip, and it replaces a standalone air fryer AND toaster, so it takes much less real estate in my small kitchen.

[@auntlynnie]

@@mrbarrylewis Sorry! I must have mis-heard! I thought it said to cook them at 200.

[@Aiii83]

Hi Barry, I have been using an air fryer since 2012 and it changed my life back then. It's taken a while for the rest of the world to catch up but I am glad it finally has. It's nice to see people embracing them because they are really that good and so versatile.

[@hazelkinvig-paul8231]

We paid £129 for our Duronic Dual Air Fryer on Amazon, which came with the dual drawers (5ltrs each) AND one 10ltr drawer (with a divider) and it has the viewing windows too. We have used it every day since we bought it and even got rid of our main oven (as we never used it since we bought the Duronic.) In the space that housed our main oven we now have two shelves, one has the Duronic Dual air fryer on it and the other has a 'mid priced' air fryer oven. There are only the two of us and so that is all we need! TFS and have a good evening! 👍💖 ** EDIT ** Just went and checked on Amazon and the price has reduced to £118.74 for the version we have. (you can choose between the models!!)

[@Robert-mt9jw]

Great air fryer, Duronic, bought the white one to match our kitchen, 2 x 4. 5 drawers plus large 9 ltr No complaints so far.

[@luijui3613]

I bought yesterday the Ninja Foodi MAX Dual Zone 2 x 4,75 L for £140,4 (168€). Used no name brands for almost 12 -13 years. But the Duronic also look great, I like the windows and that it also has a large drawer

My mum got me that Ninja one for my birthday this past May! It’s amazing!! Looking forward to this one. 😍🤩

[@profrumpo]

Another owner of the same Ninja air fryer and It's been brilliant, I barely use my oven now. The chip test "Ninja" brand chips did say 200C for the Ninja (not 240C) so you did ignore that which is maybe why there were burnt. Plus you have to shake the chips basket every 5 mins or so for even browning.

[@mrbarrylewis]

ah yeah but that test was about the max crisp setting, I already know chips would be fine, I wanted to test the exact instructions for the max crisp as per the manual!

[@BuinidhMoChridheDoAlba]

​@mrbarrylewis Ninja manuals are always a bit dodgy tbh. I think the times are based on American voltage. I have the flexdrawer which is a bit different, but I know that you generally have to take 20% of both time and temperature with that, not sure if it would work out the same for the dual

[@mrbarrylewis]

@@BuinidhMoChridheDoAlba It's all good! Just how I decided to try out that functionality, certainly made it max crisp!

[@simplesimonhadapie]

The ninja I have with the grill and air fryer is amazing and I just don't use my oven really anymore. The thermometer in built means meat can be easy if you don't enjoy the challenge. Not as good for baking but mostly due to knowing it needs less time a bit like a stove top pizza maker to bake flatbread/pita

[@GrandHighGamer]

@@mrbarrylewis Max crisp is 240C though, which it showed on the device. Obviously cooking something 40C higher is gonna cook it a lot faster. Those extra modes kind of are a guessing game as to whether you should ever use them though. Just cooking everything on Air Fry seems easier :P

[@FaenumVena]

Ive had one of these Ninjas for a while now and i love it. The only time the normal oven goes on is for pizza and thats only cos its too big to fit in the ninja. No more struggling to bend down to the oven and trying to grab trays with mits, just pull the drawer out and off you go.

[@YaaLFH]

Upgrade to an Instant VersaZone, in single drawer mode it's large enough to fit a 25 cm pizza.

[@GregOverland]

Love my dual. There's also racks for it, which makes crisping easy. Buy the silicone inserts and clean up is quick. Best feature is the smart finish, getting the main and side to finish at the same time.

[@profrumpo]

Forgot to add how enjoyable your testing was, I think the real outcome is that whatever air fryer you buy they are a brilliant way to cook. Thanks Barry!

[@mrbarrylewis]

Thanks :) It was a fun video

[@Matt19matt19]

Get the ninja Flexidrawer Barry. It's easily the best air fryer out there. It's got one massive drawer but you can put a partition in and it then becomes two drawers with two separate temp/time. I got one a few months ago and it's absolutely brilliant. Having one massive drawer allows you to cook much bigger things in it. I do full racks of ribs the most.

[@mrbarrylewis]

Don't you mean Jinja? Haha yeah i'll have to do a Ninja off perhaps!

I have 4 air fryers (2×cosori and 2xninja) and the 2 drawer ninja is my use every day without fail one. Love it

[@lindysepede4928]

Why do youvhave 4air fryers?😮

[@fargopolo]

I always follow instructions from the food package, not device's manual. For example, those fries say they are done in 8min at 200C. As you did notice, they were already prefried much darker than standard frozen fries.

[@fargopolo]

If there is no air frier instruction, you can usually use oven instructions -10C and halve the time as starting point.

[@andrewb6351]

When the instructions say 200 for 15 mins, and you do 240 for 15 mins, what do you expect to happen, of course it’s gonna burn, not a fair test at all

[@mrbarrylewis]

I'd already seen that the air fry function worked a charm with the asparagus. So I wanted to test the Max crisp setting to see if it was a gimmick or not, so I followed the max crisp instructions in the manual for any frozen chips and that was the result - didn't even tell me to shake them up, but I did anyway and at that point it was going good!. It worked out good as Hugh didn't have a max crisp setting I could see what the 200c results would have been, of course 200c is the normal method as per Hugh but I wanted to test that function, that's it! A fun test, so would I use the max crisp function again? Probably not, but would watch it like a hawk if so because there was prob a point a few mins before where they probably were looking better than Hugh's, I liked the machine overall.

[@_Ekaros]

@@mrbarrylewis Yeah, seems like the instructions clearly are off here. With max crisp if I were to experiment I would go for 10 minutes and then add a few more as needed. But I would expect the instructions not to be that off. Or maybe they expect lot more fries in one go...

[@dragonbutt]

@@mrbarrylewis Max Crisp is for heretics that like burned food. Max Crisp is also an excellent name for a prog rock band

[@flo6956]

Exactly, max crisp should not be used like that. I use it for a quick browning on the top for no more that 5 mins

[@MATT.04]

​@@_Ekarosi think it has to do with these particular fries rather than the instructions. in my experience 15 minutes on 200c is really too short on most fries, id usually need about 20-25 minutes . So for the variation of fries i use 15 mins on 240 would probably be about right. I would assume that if the ninja manual suggests 15 minutes on 240c it would suggest somewhere around 20 minutes on 290c. There is no way it tells you to do 15 minutes regardless of which temperature you use. This particular chip just happens to cook faster so if it only needs 15 minutes at 200, youd just need to reduce the time at the 240 as well. Im pretty sure the ninja manual will at some point tell you that its best to stick to the instructions on the bag, but then suggests some times for if you make them yourself or if the bag doesn't have instructions

[@alexdavis5766]

I have the ninja one and my parents have one similar to the cheap one you have. I adore my ninja one and it’s replaced so many of my other appliances and makes cooking for me as a disabled person so much easier!

[@Matt19matt19]

I truly believe any air fryer that's not a ninja that you buy is just a stop gap until you pay the extra and get a ninja. I've got the Flexidrawer and it's brill.

Hey Barry , thanks to you, I bought yesterday a 23 euro Air Fryer, new, sealed in box. Its as basic as you can imagine, a "Tristar 3825" or something... .BUT - it works completely fine. It has 1150 Watt (according to the box description), its instructions are a joke (fries took 10min instead of 20-30 as stated there) but it works great. I used to have a 100+ euro "princess" model that I had to leave when moving appartments but your videos kind of convinced me that all these expensive air fryers are just a joke with gimmicks that no one uses (i never used any of these preset settings on my old one). My new fryer goes up to 200 degrees (same as the expensive old one), works perfect (so far)... 23euro, im happy... lets see how long it will last.

[@enigma776]

You should have reduced the time if your using Max Crisp or reduced the temp. Not sure that was a fair test. When I cook frozen chips and use max crisp 10mins is pretty much all you need.

[@CarinaCoffee]

I have the Ninja Max (9.4l) that is even bigger and when I bought it a few months ago I had the Cosori dual one as another contender, but that one was more expensive than the Ninja Max! There's also a very big single basket Cosori that is super popular, but I have to say for my personal use I preferred a dual basket one. Besides the Ninja an Cosori there's also a Tefal one, I believe that's the one where one basket is bigger than the other. Anyway, being able to do two things at the same time at different temperatures is so helpful!

[@04williamsl]

17:45 - when you talk about the roast setting - I can confirm, all of the different settings do different things. I nowadays cook most things just on 'bake' - the fan isn't anywhere near as powerful as any of the others, allowing the items to be fully cooked before the outside starts to burn. If I want more of a crisp, I'll then change over to the Air Fry or Max Crisp setting about 3-5 minutes from the end to crisp things up, or add additional time on to the bake setting. Someone wrote somewhere before that all the different settings on the Ginger are like oven settings where you have different strengths for the fan, and they are right which cooks things differently.

[@chrisbinns7561]

Thank you for such an interesting video. I live in Canada and my air fryers are in fahrenheit so I had to keep converting the temperature. LOL I have two air fryers - a small Ninja that I've had for a few years and a larger, cheaper model that would be comparable to your "Hugh". I use one or both of them them practically every day. I love the idea of the dual Ninja because that would be sufficient for most days as there are only two of us. One of the best uses of the larger air fryer is that I can do a small chicken in it and it turns out wonderfully. I wouldn't be able to fit it in my small Ninja or one basket of the dual Ninja. I don't know how we survived all these years without air fryers. They definitely are a game changer!

[@polletj]

A majority of university's here in the states have banned air fryers in dorms, they just draw too much power. Of course, a lot of people still sneak them in because they are just too awesome, and as you mentioned perfect for the student lifestyle

[@mascambios]

Both are going to do a similar job - after they are both small ovens. Yes, quality of components etc will be the difference but it does seem that if you're after a bog standard air fryer the HomCom will do just fine. However, if you want a warranty, more space, greater options etc then go for the big brand. Further, Ninja do a load of money off / student discount / leave your basket and get an extra discount so play around and it will bring the cost down if you decide you need one.

As others mentioned I feel like the chips test was a bit unfair. While I know you followed the Ninja instructions stated in the book butI don't think those instructions accounted for using pre-browned chips like the ones you used. Your test did indeed show that the max crisp function absolutely did it's job. I used a standard air fryer for ages and upgraded to the same Ninja you have. I think my favorite feature is being able to set the 2 baskets for different things and even have them finish at the same time even when doing things that need different times. great video Barry!

Those crinkle chips are the best air fryewr chips! We love them... 200oC in the Ninja work fine!

[@dalemoar3006]

I use a Ninja, love it because I can do veggies at one temp, and meat at another, and can roast and air fry at the same time. I hardly ever use my oven, just mainly for baking, or ribs, which won't fit in my Ninja. Only drawback is it's a pretty big machine, hard to find a place to store it.

I bought the Aldi version of the Ninaj one (dual drawer) for £90 last year. Great product!

[@BigDavie2000]

I would like a comparison between a bucket air fryer and a toaster over air fryer. I went from the bucket to the toaster oven and I feel that while the toaster oven type is far more versatile, it falls behind in the bucket type for 90% of my air frying (chips and chicken). Not by enough for me to go back to a bucket type.

For Alan it's not the race that counts it's the friends we made along the way

[@CarinaCoffee]

The Hugh jokes in a British accent kinda throw me, because there's another British KZbinr I follow - Biffa Plays Indiegames - and for the City Skylines video there's always "Hugo there" and such jokes, because one of the earliest NPCs was Hugo. So hearing Barry say "Hugh go in there" immediately makes me think of Biffa!

[@mrbarrylewis]

haha awesome

[@rosary_omen]

I have a basket style Ninja and it's absolutely fantastic!

[@ForceFreeTrainergirl06]

My Ninja dual basket Foodi was not outrageously expensive, even though I'm in British Columbia, Canada. Yes, things are outrageously more expensive here than the UK. Mine cost me I think about $175 but of course since I bought it about a year ago, it's gone down significantly in price. I think you can in some places get it for around $130. Having two baskets is great becuase you can cook two different things at the same time at different temperatures. You can also set it to finish cooking in both baskets at the same time, even if you need to cook each item for a different length of time. I love it. I use it for roast potatoes and roast carrots or parsnips. I pour some oil in a bowl, and season it with salt, garlic powder, sometimes italian seasoning but also with some herbs. Toss the potatoes in the oil and then put them in the basket. I don't par boil them first. I do the same with the carrots, keep the carrot chunks quite big. I do both for 30 mins on bake or roast. It doesn't really make much difference. It can burn things at the edges though. I usually do them on 390. I usually pause it at 20 mins to check on things, and then put them back for the extra 10 mins.

Although I have an 8qt ninja foodi & absolutely love it & use that most of the time. My new Samsung electric slide in stand a lone range. The oven part has an air fryer function, and that is great for cooking multiple things for multiple people.

[@GaryG1974]

I love Barry's videos. But have we not done Air Fryer comparisons before?

[@trupurple]

Hi barry. i hope you are well? i have just got a new airfryer from B&M for 79 pound & for the price its realy good. the brand of my airfryer is Tower & it holds 8 litres & it's a dubble draw one as well. The draws also has windows on them so you can see your food cooking as well. The airfryer that i have mentioned was on sale. i just thought I'd let as i am loving thease video.

[@BricktowneMedia]

I dunno if maybe the double-barrel ninja is different, but I have one of the single bin versions and the max crisp setting is 450F for 10 minutes...not 15. When yours went for 15 I gasped. LOL I bet if it ran for ten youd get the same or similar results to Hugh.

[@ukgroucho]

You should try one of the rack based ones - no 'bucket', just racks like a conventional oven AND a viewing window (and light). I've had one for a year plus and you can squeze a sunday roast for 2 into it - roast potatoes top rack, chicken legs middle rack, yourshire puddings in carefully researched tin on the floor... Fish and chips for two or 3, no problem. And it's barely bigger than Alan, just a rectangular footprint. Think I paid about £80 for mine (Daewoo branded) but I've seen the same machine with Tower branding...

[@MattZildjian]

23:58 did you pay almost £400 for the ninja? That model is usually under £200.

[@mrbarrylewis]

£320 at the moment, but there are so many different models. Plus it's prime day so may be some bargains about!

[@MattZildjian]

@@mrbarrylewis which model is it?

[@MattZildjian]

@@mrbarrylewis I saw your link in the description which leads to the DZ201 model. I believe this is a US model, which is probably the reason why the price is so high. The UK equivalent is the AF300 costing much less but it's the same thing. However it looks like you are using the UK version in the video as it is showing Celsius and not Farenheit on the box and on the unit. (did it come with a UK plug? Also the US variant is 110v)) so perhaps they just sent you an AF300 yet you paid way too much for it.

[@RMillerism]

Wow, mine cost $249 Aussie dollars a couple years back. And it's still about that now. And you did have it up way too high for the chips

[@Softsqueakyduck]

I love my Foodi Ninja airfryer, its also a pressure cooker! Don't forget to preheat! When you are air frying chicken, put it skin side down first, then turn half way for the best crispy skin.

[@CarinaCoffee]

I think the chips would have been fairer if you did one of the Ninja basket with the settings of the package and one in the max crisp, but I reckon you didn't want to make too many.

[@mrbarrylewis]

Good call, but we'd already proven that the air fry functionality worked with the asparagus test :)

[@gjphekkelman]

4:50 lmao ginger airfryer! Ya talkin'bout ya self there, innit?

[@mrbarrylewis]

Jinja?! I thought it was Ninja!?
