[@johnmorrissey3164]

Good video thanks 😂

[@TheAverageKitchen]

Thanks so much! - J

[@lcglazer]

what are the internal dimensions of this combi oven? Thanks!

[@MidwestPyro55]

Ninja engineers deserve a raise after how many different products they're forced to come up with every year

[@TheAverageKitchen]

Yeah really!

[@Candyapplebone]

Seriously dude I was in Costco yesterday and they had a ninja product for sale right at the entrance. Then I was walking around and I saw two more for sale in other parts of the store. And they were different types. And I had pretty much the same thought. They’re coming up with so many different products.😊

[@Keller5327LV]

😂

[@ThePhoenix92]

They're the new shark/ dyson

[@DucatiLee_]

Yeah I wish the steami looked like this but I deff prefer the steami for the deep pan / sous vide

[@elkhuntingpatriot6418]

If I'm looking to buy a kitchen appliance, your channel is my go-to guide everytime! Thank you for including measurements.

[@TheAverageKitchen]

Thanks for the wonderful comment and the ongoing support !!! Marc

[@dyates6380]

GREAT review. I had this in my cart as I was watching this, but then I realized I have two other Ninja appliances that already do this, so I refrained, even though it was on sale for a GREAT price. Thanks for this.

[@TheAverageKitchen]

Thanks so much! - J

[@20Redram00]

You guys do great reviews thanks for showing the different products unbiased, I like the concept of this I can see people in the future using an appliance such as this as the main source of cooking meals but honestly it lacks the size we would need for our six member family.

[@TheAverageKitchen]

Yeah I would agree with all of that. Thanks for the comment! - J

[@mahamtariq5962]

So that’s an interesting perspective bc I took a chance and got the combi when it first came out (no reviews available) and while I love love it, I def think it’s better suited for a family of 4-6 over one person. I use it mostly to meal prep for lunch bc then I can make a huge batch of food at once. I guess it depends on how many servings you are looking for but I def think it is intended for larger families then single people.

[@ydm6669]

Thank you for this one, i've been waiting for The Average Kitchen's review of this, now I just need to wait until it shows up at Canadian Tire lol. Keep them coming, you guys rock !

[@TheAverageKitchen]

Thanks so much for the wonderful comment! Not available in Canada yet I don't think but the Amazon link in the description should ship to Canada. Thanks again! - J

[@CS-pl8fc]

First time seeing your channel and I have to say, what a fantastic review. Thanks so much.

[@TheAverageKitchen]

Thanks very much !!!! Marc

[@nicolasmith1460]

The best cooking review channel. Can’t believe you’re not gifted these machines. Like other channels that aren’t a patch on your quality. Looking forward to a binge watch!

[@TheAverageKitchen]

Wow thanks for that wonderful comment! The truth is we like that we buy it ourselves. Keep us unbiased. Thanks again! - J

[@TheOnlyChrisB]

I have come back to say overall this is my favorite ninja appliance ever. Just white rice turns out so better than either instant pot or the foodi smart lid. It can fit a personal pizza, and it actually crisps the bottom. And after you do a combi meal you wipe the stainless steel walls right off and when you close the door the unit will dry itself off for a couple minutes by circulating the fan. And seeing the food cook through the window is *chefs kiss*

[@TheAverageKitchen]

Awesome ! Love the feedback and perspective. Cheers. Marc

[@ks5831]

How do you clean the top of the inside?

[@TheOnlyChrisB]

Yes since owning the oven i noticed the top is difficult to clean like most ninja products. Not as bad as my ninja grill but not as easy as the smart lid foodi. To clean the combi i use the steam setting for a few minutes. The hack i found is i bought a small blender cleaning brush that fits close to the fan blades. Sometimes i scrub with a little dawn soap, then i wipe down with a towel. Then steam setting for another couple minutes and dry with a towel. If you want it super dry use the air fry setting for about a minute or two after youre done. It sounds crazy but its not… maybe 60 seconds of scrubbing 10 minutes in total clean time (steam/air fry). To me the ninja grill is the the best air fryer, the ninja foodi is make soups/bone broth/ribs but overall the ninja combi does many things extremely well imo.

[@georginabird9354]

Thanks just got one , hope I use it love your reviews and subscribed ❤xxx

[@TheAverageKitchen]

Thanks so much !! Marc

[@nrusso967]

You guys are great, Marc and Jamie!!! Keep up the good work! As an Italian North American (with 1/8 Irish/Gaelic & 1/8 German), I have never put milk in any marinara, bolognese or even pizza sauce! My grandmother would probably jump out of her grave to slap me silly if I did! (Lol) But I love your videos, reviews, scoring matrix and opinions!

[@TheAverageKitchen]

Thanks so much as always for your support! - J

[@dothill1258]

Now this is what I have been waiting for. I just received mine yesterday and did 1st cook. You two are the best. I will end up ordering the dutch oven. :) The one thing I think Ninja should have added on this one would be a door release button. With Ninja (and Apple) it is always "just one more thing" :)

[@TheAverageKitchen]

Haha you're right! Thanks for the wonderful comment! - J

[@janicepgi]

Ninja does sell a deeper dutch oven with glass lid for the combi! Great video! Great humour! Could see the military flavour in your dialogue! Awesome!

[@TheAverageKitchen]

Haha thanks for the great comment! - J

[@kimcarter8624]

Thank you for yet another informative and enjoyable review. Was the bolognaise sauce just cooked for the hour as you said or was that after four hours? Thank you!

[@TheAverageKitchen]

Thanks so much! I think it was a little over an hour so it definitely would have thickened a bit from there, but still at that point seemed a bit....meh. - J

[@Scorpio75]

Thanks for another great review! I was wondering if you cooked the sauce the rest of the way & if so did it boil over?

[@TheAverageKitchen]

Full disclose, I transferred it to a cast iron pot to finish as I was concerned it would boil over with no means or stirring it either. Cheers. Marc

[@leeannguynn]

Thank you so much for this review. I’ve had mine for about a month and I’ve used it every single day.

[@TheAverageKitchen]

That's awesome! Thanks so much! - J

[@soniyayadav6214]

Hey I need to know if it's non stick. As if it is, it may lead to health issues. It would be great if you could guide me about the metal used for baskets inside for baking and air fryer.

[@TheAverageKitchen]

You’d have to reach out to the manufacturer, we don’t know all the details on materials used to make the product. Marc

[@nicolagriffiths3077]

I had the ninja 10 in one oven & it conked out last week after 15 months so as it was under guarantee I took it back to order another one but they didn’t have any in stock so I ordered this one instead , picking it up tomorrow, because I didn’t really know much about it I searched for a review & found yours. It looks great & the reviews on this one are much better than the one I did have which was awful to try & clean, so glad I came across your review 😀

[@TheAverageKitchen]

Thanks so much for the comment and watching !! Marc

[@tamarar3667]

Great video again 👏🏻. Do you guys have a recommendation on a Speedi cookbook?

[@TheAverageKitchen]

Yes the Speedi has its own recipe builder online. If you Google it you'll find it. It's really good! - J

[@patphares6258]

Thoughtful and insightful review by top notch pros!

[@TheAverageKitchen]

Thanks so much for the wonderful comment! - J

[@jeraldstout5424]

Hi guys just wanted to ask if you will do an update video on this ninja combi product and keep up the good work the both of you do

[@TheAverageKitchen]

We will do a 6 months later or 12 months later video for sure ! Marc

[@chrisgeorge2717]

First time viewer. Great review and great job on it! And, milk is always in bolo! Thanks!!

[@TheAverageKitchen]

Haha thanks so much! - J

[@jujujustme]

Terrific! I'd love to see more recipe trials on this guy. Thanks so much!

[@TheAverageKitchen]

Stay tuned !! Marc

[@jujujustme]

Excited! :) I told my family, this is the only thing I want for Christmas! @@TheAverageKitchen

[@TheAverageKitchen]

🤣🤣

[@kondor7]

Also would be interested for simple daily recipes usage 😊

[@mariannetuite7411]

Great review. And yes, I always put milk into a bolognese sauce. It mellows out the acidity of the tinned tomatoes that we tend to get in the UK

[@TheAverageKitchen]

Thanks so much! - J

[@discoveringflorida67]

Best Review on the Combi - THANK YOU!

[@TheAverageKitchen]

Thank you soooo much for the great comment ! Marc

[@Diosky27]

Processional chef here. Milk is used in traditional bolognaise. Its wonderful!

[@TheAverageKitchen]

👍🏼👍🏼

[@OnizukaGTO]

i wish we had these new fangle combi cookers when i went to university. perfect for those dorm rooms where you can cook everything at the same time and not worry about you burning the food, yourself or fight the room mates to use the kitchen. Honestly, a great self-contained appliance really.

[@TheAverageKitchen]

Totally agree! Thanks for watching! - J

[@nrusso967]

Oops, for got to mention, I finally found the Average Kitchen long sleeve shirts I have been looking forward to buying! Order coming to your company next week!

[@TheAverageKitchen]

Amazing !!!

[@danporter2453]

Usually in a bolognese you would do a fine dice on the vegetables, so you’d have a more consistent sized sauce. I’m guessing after 4 hours a lot of the liquid would cook away. Cream is commonly added near the end of cooking a bolognese, so since you’re adding it at the beginning milk makes some sense. I think they have you sauté the tomato paste to develop the flavor of the paste. Whole tomatoes are often a higher quality product than diced. I like to only use tomato paste in a bolognese- the meat is the star.

[@TheAverageKitchen]

Great point of view ! Thanks for the info. Just followed the step by step instructions in the book. Not my recipe. Cheers. Marc

[@techguyMD]

That was my first thought when I saw him adding the veggies... I normally food process them.

[@sunnyhsu8997]

I would love to see a comparison video between the Combi and the Speedi. I cannot decide which one is right for me as they appear to have similar functions...😅

[@TheAverageKitchen]

Stay tuned! - J

[@amylynn74]

Just got mine for Xmas! & I love well done fries & extra extra sauce!! 😊❤

[@TheAverageKitchen]

Hahaha nice !!! Marc

[@milkmann-on1dq]

A little bit of an explanation regarding the cooking the tomato sauce for one minute. In making sauces and stocks, you sautee tomato paste with the vegetables until it darkens slighty and becomes aromatic. The process is called pincage in french cooking.

[@TheAverageKitchen]

Thanks for the info! - J

[@kyleo1236]

I've used milk or heavy cream in a lasagna soup before. It turned out really good. It had hot Italian sausage, vegetable stock, garlic, Italian seasoning, a can of diced tomatoes, a jar of marinara sauce, a little cream, ricotta cheese, broken up lasagna noodles and some fresh mozzarella. The cream kind of mellowed out the citrus from the tomatoes making it more of a comfort food.

[@TheAverageKitchen]

Sounds like a great recipe. Thanks for watching! - J

[@cheesecakepie1]

I would love to see a comparison video of the combi vs. the speedi as they are very close in their functions. is one better for certain foods? is one easier to clean? does food in general taste better in one? does one cook faster? etc. I think this would be a very helpful & interesting video. thank you.

[@TheAverageKitchen]

Stay tuned! - J

[@156fish]

The speedi is very small

[@waldemarwroblewski155]

Thanks for the review. I was looking for a recipe for fries made from raw potatoes, from scratch rather than using packaged food. How about baking sourdough bread? Thank you.

[@TheAverageKitchen]

Good question. We haven't tried that yet unfortunately...if you end up trying it though let us know! - J

[@juanmontoya8102]

Can you comment on trying to choose between the Combi and 14 in 1 Foodi. They have some overlap and I don't want too many appliances in the kitchen.

[@TheAverageKitchen]

Hey, biggest difference is the Foodi, is that it’s a pressure cooker. So if you’d never use that feature, I’d go with the combi. Marc

[@IceCat143]

This thing is awesome. Got it about a week ago and I have been only using this the entire time. Can cook a rice/pasta - veggie - steak/chicken meail in 20 mins without using anything else. The whole family loves it. Have been getting empty plates. My only question is is that, is there a difference between Combi Meal and Combi Crisp setting? I can’t figure it out. I should probably cook the same 3 level meal in both settings to see if there is a difference. Never tried doing the carb - veggie - protein in the Combi Crisp setting. Wondering if things would get crisper.

[@TheAverageKitchen]

Give it a try and let us know! We'd love to hear about that! - J

[@IceCat143]

So, I tried cooking a meal in Combi Crisp setting. Rice on the bottom and steak on top level along with some veggies. Rice came out dryer compared to the Combi Meal setting. Steak was about the same as Combi Meal setting. Seems like it uses more of the air fryer function. I also asked the same question on Ninja’s YT channel and they didn’t recomment using the Combi Crisp for combi meals. I would say following their instructions yield better results.

[@TheAverageKitchen]

Good to know ! Marc

[@dothill1258]

Cleaning Device: After cooking is completed and food is removed from the Combi casserole pan, clean pan and then place 3-cups of water. Place pan back in unit on lowest level. Select Steam; allow unit to run full 10m. DO NOT power off unit. Take pan out. Shut door. You should see “dry” on screen. Select Start. Unit will run Dry Cycle for 3m. When finished, allow unit to cool down and wipe with soft absorbent drying towel.

[@TheAverageKitchen]

Love this thanks !! Marc

[@gotskillz135]

Epic video have you reviewed the iq chef pressure cooker it’s an awesome machine my wife mastered their butter chicken recipe and their Rasta pasta ( of course we tweet that recipe we added crab meat in it) if possible review that whenever you guys get a chance 😊

[@TheAverageKitchen]

Thanks so much for the great comment! We'll see what we can do! - J

[@vernabailey3671]

I think it’s cool, but I also think I prefer the Speedi. Seems like the sauté and stirring is much easier on it.

[@TheAverageKitchen]

I would agree! Both great options though. - J

[@kdranchaz3240]

Y’all rock! Seems to me there’s a need for both the Speedi and the Combi. For what they offer one can justify owning both!

[@TheAverageKitchen]

Haha I agree. Cheers. Marc

[@LoveMyCoffee10]

I received this for Christmas... I can't find anything in the booklet for cooking a Roast Beef? The Protein tray seems too close to the interior ceiling...any advice? Thank you

[@TheAverageKitchen]

My advice would be to try it. Why not? Maybe someone else has a better answer? - J

[@karolosteen3313]

Had I not just bought the Speedi, I would seriously consider buying this unit.

[@TheAverageKitchen]

I think that's a spot-on opinion of this. - J

[@heddingite]

Just got mine!!! Literally am so excited I had to watch some videos on it lol

[@TheAverageKitchen]

Let us know how u like it ! Marc

[@heddingite]

@@TheAverageKitchen I've used it now extensively and really love it. Its quite the versatile tool however I don't like the grease buildup above the heating element and fan. Its very hard to clean in there and I am worried about a potential grease fire happening in there.

[@TheAverageKitchen]

Valid point for sure !!

[@heddingite]

@@TheAverageKitchen I feel the heating element should be removable (sorta like in an electric stove) and the fan also can be removed and wiped down/cleaned. The "Official" cleaning video is also ridiculous and has what looks like a never used Ninja Combi being lightly wiped with a damp towel. It IS easy to clean superficially but when you look UP you see the problem.

[@annielj100]

I’d really like to see a cleaning video that how to clean this oven itself, e.g. to show us inside , the top air fryer lid. I remember I tried the Speedi once to roast a chicken, then the lid had dark spot I can’t get rid of. Thank you.

[@TheAverageKitchen]

We’ll put it on our list !!

[@dothill1258]

One method of cleaning is: After cooking is completed and food is removed from the Combi casserole pan, clean pan and then place 3-cups of water. Place pan back in unit on lowest level. Select Steam; allow unit to run full 10m. DO NOT power off unit. Take pan out. Shut door. You should see “dry” on screen. Select Start. Unit will run Dry Cycle for 3m. When finished, allow unit to cool down and wipe with soft absorbent drying towel.

[@katherinejackson3245]

I add milk to my spaghetti sauce 😂. I saw it on a recipe and we all loved it so it’s an automatic thing now. Adding a bit of cream cheese is yummy too.

[@TheAverageKitchen]

Awesome ! Marc

[@kennethmadl1728]

I’m a spice sissy!😂 when I ask for more mild salsa and I am offered catsup, the family loves it.

[@TheAverageKitchen]

Haha. Thanks for watching! - J

[@The_Zilli]

I love the fact that it is large enough for a family instead of having to make multiple batches. 199 USD is a good deal. Meanwhile in Chynda where I live, this cost $509. Does anyone else remember when things in the US would just cost 100 more in Canada? Pepperridge Farm remembers....

[@TheAverageKitchen]

Lol. Thanks for the comment! - J

[@S386LWBNM]

Does it fit a frozen pizza for that quick snack? Also I'm trying to decide between the 12-in-1 Smart Double Oven and the Combi. What's some of the differences between the two?

[@TheAverageKitchen]

Yeah you could do a frozen pizza, as long as it's small enough to fit in the upper tray. And here's our review of the Double Oven! ➡️kzbin.info/www/bejne/iJ6qZ6Ghrb-Znq8 - J

[@jonny4036]

How would this compare to the Breville Air Fryer Pro line? Seems like everyone always recommends the Breville over everything but it is so expensive.

[@TheAverageKitchen]

Actually we haven't tried that one yet. We'll have to check it out! - J

[@mackopr]

How many qt. is the deep metal dish? I do birria tacos, and im wondering if get the traditional ninja foodie or the combi.

[@TheAverageKitchen]

Not sure. Maybe ninja has it on their website ? Love birira. Marc

[@jerriarriola8864]

OMG … I love the commentary about Jaime’s lacksidaisy attitude towards raw chicken & everything else. I always leave laughing and truly enjoying all of the videos you guys share. Thanks again Average Kitchen.

[@TheAverageKitchen]

Haha. Thanks for the support! - J

[@NurseAngie0]

How's the cleanup inside from steam and splatter?

[@TheAverageKitchen]

So far so good, wiped out. Marc

[@tayvin88]

How well does this sous vide? Cannot find a single review on this units sous vide function anywhere

[@TheAverageKitchen]

We haven't tried the sous vide function to be honest. - J

[@noelle-marie]

Could you show a recipe of two layer of things you want ro crisp, like salmon and potatoes

[@TheAverageKitchen]

We'll see what we can do. Thanks for watching. - J

[@marybethmarmolejo7284]

But any chance da ya resell product that you don’t use anymore? If so do you have eBay account or any source where we can buy ?

[@TheAverageKitchen]

No that's not something we've done, but perhaps something to consider! Thanks for watching! - J

[@grahamjonesfamily1634]

Can you review more slow cooking dishes in the ninja combi? To see how it stacks out in comparison to a slow cooker?

[@TheAverageKitchen]

I’ll put it on our list !! Marc

[@Candyapplebone]

Well just from looks alone it doesn’t look like it has the volume of a regular slow cooker

[@chaoscoffeechildren5563]

Love the videos you guys do…I late night ordered to upgrade my speedi (not needed but hey late night baby feeds require the dopamine hits) and I love the idea of easier dinners real excellent video reviews 10/10 will be showing your channel to friends and family

[@TheAverageKitchen]

Thanks so much that's awesome! - J

[@valavic]

Hi, im having an issue with the baking tray. My food is sticking to it ,i thought that pan was non-stick. Was i wrong

[@TheAverageKitchen]

The bigger question is…. Is anything ever non stick ? Up until recently I’d say no. But the hex clad pans are unreal. I know it doesn’t help your issue. Just putting that out there

[@jbrown9672]

Marc you said you used a little less water when you made the rice with the shrimp dish. Do you remember what the ratio was? That looks perfect!

[@TheAverageKitchen]

I actually don’t sorry ! Thanks for watching. Marc

[@michaelmcmillon5933]

Ninja makes addicts out of us all lol I have ninja coffee and just bought this to fit more wings because the ninja foodie doesn’t fit much wings. Love all my gadgets 😭😭 I’m looking at the grill next.

Lol nice! Let us know how you like it! - J

[@JHeyworth1]

Thanks guys

[@TheAverageKitchen]

Thanks for watching! - J

[@pauline-glitterbugcrafts]

Did you check the size of the tomato tins? In the UK our tins are much smaller those would be caterings sized tins.

[@TheAverageKitchen]

Sorry, not clear on what your question is. Marc

[@maryannaquilino3443]

What are the gloves you're wearing and where can I get some, please?

[@TheAverageKitchen]

They're just from Amazon I believe. - J

[@katherinapowell709]

Can this take the place of a microwave. Can you put plates or Tupperware in it to reheat?

[@TheAverageKitchen]

No unfortunately not. There's a heating element that would melt anything like that. - J

[@156fish]

I have my normal kitchen stove for big meals. I started using Ninjas in my truck because I have to cook there too truckstop food is not good.

[@TheAverageKitchen]

Awesome. Marc

[@jollyj189]

What are the differences between a Ninja Combi and a Ninja possible cooker pro? Is there anything that makes one better than the other?

[@TheAverageKitchen]

The possible cooker is more of a crock pot / slow cooker.

[@hectornevarez6804]

You guys should review the Ninja Thirsti Drink System

[@TheAverageKitchen]

We ordered it from the US a month ago, the recently told us they can’t ship it because of the c02 cylinder. Which sucked. So we have to wait till it releases in 🇨🇦. Cheers. Marc

[@bettycolbourne5780]

Does steam come from water in rice or a reservoir

[@TheAverageKitchen]

Water in the rice. - J

[@ks5831]

How do you clean the top element?

[@TheAverageKitchen]

With a soapy dish cloth. But depends on what you’re cooking. I’ve been doing complete meals, not air frying, and clean up is minimal. Marc

[@vicky__uk]

Would love to know what you think of this VS the speedi. Would Jamie upgrade? Which does he prefer and why? Thanks for another great review

[@TheAverageKitchen]

Thanks so much! I prefer the Speedi still mostly because of the pan situation. Taking it in and out, the shallow size, etc. But if you need the upper pan in the Combi for anything specific, the Speedi doesn't have that. - J

[@vicky__uk]

@@TheAverageKitchengreat to know! My Speedi arrived yesterday, so really looking forward to putting it through its paces 🥰

[@thatick]

@@vicky__uk ive had mine about 2 weeks (speedi) and i love it. Cooked rice a roni and breaded chicken (not frozen kind) last night. the rice a roni came out the best ive ever had (chicken was good also) 15 mins cooking time

[@threesixtysafari2115]

This is great for a person living in their car who doesn't have access to a regular kitchen with stove top and oven. Maybe even a boat.

[@TheAverageKitchen]

Might be challenging in a car. But who knows! Thanks for watching. - J

[@irenegauvin2864]

Definitely worth buying!

[@TheAverageKitchen]

Agreed! - J

I got the ninja health and grill XL. I live on my own and have never been a good cook. That machine has changed me life. I used to eat takeaway food. Hated cooking , now I love it. It will literally cook anything. Only thing I need the cooker for is the odd times I've cooked a large pizza. However I've found a hack with pizza. Cut it before hand to fit, place one half on The baking tray and cook at 200 Celsius for 6 mins, depending on depth. Then do the other half. I'm tempted now to buy this. Especially the Casserole side of things.. Only thing though you didn't try and Cooke chicken and fries so they come out the same time. Can anyone answer this please. Thank you.

When will the device come to germany?😍

[@TheAverageKitchen]

Really not sure, maybe reach out to ninja ? And I LOVE Germany. Been there twice, Prost 🍻. Marc

[@kokkiem]

Wondering if its suitable for baking cookies and tarts (cake) as well? According to you can this combi replace a microwave and a oven?

[@kokkiem]

Oh and for example cooking (steaming) patatos and veggies?

[@kokkiem]

Milk in a bolo is an absolute and solite NOT-DONE 😮

[@TheAverageKitchen]

No I would say it cannot replace your microwave or oven, it's a separate appliance. - J

[@TheAverageKitchen]

Yes it can definitely do this. - J

[@TheAverageKitchen]

Not sure what this means? - J

[@sspreadfire]

I ccant resist. JUST BOUGHT one in Canada. I have instant pot pressure cooker and this to complete my kitchen.

[@TheAverageKitchen]

Awesome. Marc

[@xoxcxsxm]

Can it reheat a glass of milk?

[@TheAverageKitchen]

No, it's not a microwave. - J

[@nimexwolf]

I love seeing your unbiased reviews but would love to see you just put a little bit more structure to your videos! Love the channel

[@TheAverageKitchen]

Thanks so much! Can you be more specific? - J

[@thetayoung3066]

You can only cook French fries in 11-15 unless it is for about one person. I cook them in my air fryer all the time for around that amount of time.

[@TheAverageKitchen]

👍🏼👍🏼

[@bethmiller4266]

What about clean up, guys? Does the inside become soiled when cooking? Best cleaning products for it?

[@TheAverageKitchen]

Hey there, so far I’ve been just wiping it out with soap and water. We’ll see over time. Stay tuned. Marc

[@ooxxdudu]

Can do like steam oven?

[@TheAverageKitchen]

It steams as part of the cycle yes. Marc

[@JHeyworth1]

Next time, let the tomato paste sauté for one minute. Skipping that step to the way some flavor level, trust me. Y’all noticed the difference if you ever actually give the tomato paste that. extra love

[@TheAverageKitchen]

Thanks for the tip! - J

[@kettlebops4271]

Good way to add umami, especially to vegetarian/vegan dishes.

[@JaymzZeppelin]

Music is slightly too loud at the beginning. Was releaved when it quietened down.

[@TheAverageKitchen]

Noted. Thanks for watching. Marc

[@ivanbrankovic1628]

is it better this combi or Multifunction oven?

[@TheAverageKitchen]

Which oven? - J

[@ivanbrankovic1628]

@@TheAverageKitchen ohh I'm sry, i meant Multifunction oven Foodi 10 in 1 XL. I have very small kitchen and I don't want standard kitchen oven (it takes 2 much space). Soo I'm in search for alternative. Is it better this Ninja Combi or Ninja Foodi 10 in 1 XL? Planning to make simple meals for 1- 3 persons.

[@TheAverageKitchen]

If you don't have an oven, I would suggest the the oven. - J

[@SteveInScotland]

It looks like a lot of removing and putting back pans, in a foodi it would be open, drop in, stir, close. Seems too much faff. Also what happens if you spill or the pan bubbles over, is the base easy to clean?

[@TheAverageKitchen]

That is one of the negatives for sure. - J

[@user-cn9cf6gw2y]

Just buy both Speedy/Combi...best of two worlds

[@TheAverageKitchen]

Haha touché ! Marc

[@Bunkysworkshop]

I’m loving the video but there seems to be a problem with following the book’s instructions. If you change the directions then it’s very possible you change the outcome. I just would like to know how it turns out just as the book tells us it would turn out.

[@TheAverageKitchen]

Thanks, can you be more specific on what we changed that would be that drastic ? Marc

[@Bunkysworkshop]

@@TheAverageKitchen I believe you had said you added extra sauce and removed the veggies ect. I’m not trying to upset anyone here just wanted to see how things really turned out just as the company intended it. In my head a recipe is written and done for a reason. When you said you wanted to follow the recipe but then changed things because of what you like or didn’t like changed the recipe. I am just curious on what it would have really been like just as it was in the book that’s all.

[@TheAverageKitchen]

Thanks for the insight. I can tell you, we’ve reviewed probably 25 ninja products and I use their recipes as guidelines as many of the exact recipes we’ve done of theirs did not turn out well. I certainly don’t understand how extra sauce would change anything in a recipe…. The for watching. Marc

[@Bunkysworkshop]

@@TheAverageKitchen How about review the item and the receipt just ass it is. Then if it turns out terrible then do another review with your changes that makes it better and give your better receipt. So the only reason I’m going down this line with you because not all people can do what you are doing with these add ones or changes. I do elder care and when looking at these different machines we are looking at durability, ease of use, how is the cook book written and is the food of some quality. I totally understand that criticism sometimes isn’t fun but we all get it and for me it’s kind of a growing pain feeling but I know it’s part of life for me. Definitely when dealing with the elderly.

[@VetIntel]

Wait. Can it dehydrate?

[@TheAverageKitchen]

No, mercifully, it does not dehydrate. Thanks for watching! - J

[@rorilee9791]

This or the speedi? Thanks!

[@TheAverageKitchen]

We'll be making that comparison soon! Not sure you can go wrong though... - J

[@larae0460]

Maybe it was meant for the Dutch oven pan it's bigger

[@TheAverageKitchen]

You could be right !! Marc

[@Homeschool4Christ]

Have you tried sous vide in it yet?

[@TheAverageKitchen]

Not yet, on my list of things to try tho. Marc

[@CnithTheOnliestOne]

Can this thing cook ribs?

[@TheAverageKitchen]

I don't see why not. - J

[@karenwood6815]

What was it like cleaning the inside of the ninja? Also, can you actually clean it.

[@TheAverageKitchen]

That’s a tough question to answer, and I’ll explain why…. If you are cooking complete meals but not air-frying, the clean up will be minimal. However, air frying something like wings for example, will create grease splatter and over time, some build up, which then needs to be cleaned. Hopefully that answers your question. Marc

[@karenwood6815]

@TheAverageKitchen thanks. The ninja flip (I used to love) smokes (due to grease etc) I clean and clean. But unable to clean it good enough, as unable to get where you need.)

[@IceCat143]

This is what I was looking for. I don’t like the pull out or lift top air fryers. They get uncleanable really fast even if you thoroughly clean every time. The oils get to the deepest crevices and look so ugly. I also like the combi function with this one. Hopefully it’ll be easier to clean.

[@TheAverageKitchen]

Thanks for watching and the comment !! Marc
