I have found that the sync feature is only really useful when cooking fresh foods. For frozen foods, anything more than 10-15 minutes difference between trays, means that the frozen food waiting to be cooked will start to defrost. If you based your total cooking time for that particular food because it was frozen before cooking it (as many instructions for frozen foods state on their packaging), it will change the food's final texture and overall moistness when the cooking timer ends. Some frozen foods can be easily overcooked and can become drier than you wanted due to the delay/sync feature. Imo, it's easier just to do a quick calculation in your head, and add the faster cooking frozen food to the tray later on while it's still frozen. One more thing... when it states in the cook book to add a little bit of oil to the food before cooking it, you should first put that food in a bowl, add the oil to the food and mix it to help the oil coat it more evenly... then add the food to the cooking tray. Doing it this way helps ensure that the food will come out more evenly cooked/crispy.

I am always amazed at people who " didn't wanna have to read all the instructions..." Trying something new and different is always a learning curve, and that entails understanding instructions.

HI GUYS, first time watching you I love your review, I've been thinking about buying the ninja air fryer, I've been cooking and baking since I was 12, and now I'm an empty nester and don't cook big family meals too often, only on the big holidays. what I liked about your video was that I didn't have to watch you peel the potatoes and then cut them for the fries, I wouldn't say I like to watch the people do the prep work it takes too much of my time. You were great.

[@juhavehnia7862]

You need to oil the hand cut fries in a bowl. The whole point is to get them to coated with oil evenly to get that perfect crispness. Your oil fell to the bottom (under the crisper plate) and basically did nothing.

[@TheAverageKitchen]

Great tip. Thanks for watching. Cheers. Marc

[@thomaskorndal4715]

not entirely true. We have Phillips airfryer XL and I am thinking og getting this one. With the Philips you should only use a tablespoon of oil. This makes the fries crispy. It's impossible to dip all the fries in a tablespoon of oil, so you just put in the fries, and then just pour it on top of them. The air fryer will make sure that the fries are covered when it heaths up the oil. If you use anymore oil, you are really not getting the whole idea of using these types of machines.

[@TheAverageKitchen]

Great comment. Thanks !!

[@Ianisatool]

I agree. Oil and season fries in bowl and then put them in the plate and shake them as needed so they cook evenly. Same with wings too.

The thing I find most interesting after this excellent video is that people are more concerned about your head gear than the product you are demonstrating. Most people in premises dealing with food preparation wear a head covering, doesn’t matter what style, I have no doubt the nit pickers would have a field day if you have fairly long hair and did not wear a cap or hat. Anyway an informative and well presented video with attention to the things most people would want to know. Nice children as well, a superb test team for the donuts.

Hi,thanks for the interesting video! Do you think the power of 1200 w for each zone can't be sufficient some times? I think if you had cooked the food in a single zone air fryer,the food would have been crispier and better done in less time and with less effort.

I guess one thing people don't mention I own a double air fryer and my experience is it does take longer for food to cook because it shares the wattage. Not like a single air fryer where I used to have fries be done in like 12 minutes at 400°. So that's about the only drawback I see if you're looking for quickness, not the machine for you

Last night, I cooked the same meal you show in this video. Don't dump the wings or anything you cook with oil on your plate because that dump puts the oil (in the bottom of the fryer below the crisper) on your plate. Instead use rubber or plastic covered thongs to get the wings (or whatever) out of the basket and put that on your plate.

Quick question on parchment paper…does it stop the air flow from the bottom coming up?

[@TheAverageKitchen]

There's no air flow originating from the bottom, however the rack allows air to flow underneath the food. If the parchment paper was under the rack, it shouldn't affect anything. If it's on top of the rack that might negate that air flow. Hope this helps. - J

55 minutes for wings? Doesn’t that defeat the purpose? My current air fryer does them in about 18-20.

[@TheAverageKitchen]

Hey there. Depends on several factors, size of the wings, volume of wings and the desired crispy ness. Thanks for the comment. Cheers. Marc

[@brianagee2790]

Can only imagine how much longer if they were frozen to start

[@karine8738]

Which one you have ?

[@BN-hy1nd]

Can one add seasoning to food before frying?

[@TheAverageKitchen]

Absolutely!

[@motorcitykitty700]

43 minutes for chicken wings, and 28 minutes for fries??? I thought air fryers cooked these products in mere minutes, not in many, many minutes.

[@TheAverageKitchen]

Hey thanks for the comment. “Mere minutes” would be impossible. However. There are several factors. 1. The volume of food your cooking 2. How well done you like your food, extra crispy wings or fries. 3. Power consumption is much lower with an air fryer vs a standard oven. Thanks for watching. Marc

[@jackhes2956]

I have the same airfryer..it cooks wings in 20 minutes and fries in 18 to 20 minutes.. I love this fryer. Maybe the US model is not as powerful because of the 110 volt while here in NZ it is 220 volt

[@TheAverageKitchen]

Oh interesting point on the voltage ! Thanks for the insight ! I’ve never been to NZ , it’s on my travel list ! So beautiful there !! Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦. Marc

I like the style of the double draw Ninja air fryer - It will probably be my fourth air fryer (next one) - Times are always a hit and miss dependent on personal taste and all cooking conditions involved.

[@TheAverageKitchen]

You're absolutely right! - J

[@Lydspraggs]

Did you add any seasoning to the chicken or just olive oil?

[@TheAverageKitchen]

Yes we did ! Thanks for watching. Marc

[@ggirl73]

Please season your food!

[@TheAverageKitchen]

Lol yes sir. We were only doing tests though... Thanks for watching! - J

[@DarikStone]

The caveat here though is that in order for the "fun feature" we'll say, to work, is...if the food you are putting in is absolutely cooked within the presets duration....as shown here, they weren't. So basically, given that - the feature is 50% useful. Probably better off using a typical drawer style fryer, or not even using the feature at all, and just buy it for the fact that it has 2 cook zones...and just do it how you want. Now what would make it better is that when you clicked named presets of what you are cooking, it allowed you to buffer the cook times to the presets without voiding the feature, this would be a total win... This is still ahead of everything else out there and I think that the 2 cooking zones is a win in general, and how evenly it cooked and utilized its ability on both sides was very competent. This video was also awesome, great review, quality channel.

[@TheAverageKitchen]

Thanks Darik, maybe one of the best comments we've ever received! Totally agree with your assessment. I think the advantage of the feature comes to play when you cook your regular routine meals and know the exact cooking times you want. Otherwise you're right, might as well be separate. Tha ks again! - J

[@DarikStone]

@@TheAverageKitchen Hey no problem! It was a great walk through! I did a bit more research and it appears that you can infact customize your smartfeature times. I think it just tells you what they recommend, but you can still put whatever times and hit "smart" for each. This is a win!!

[@TheAverageKitchen]

Amazing such great information thanks so much !! Marc

[@Captain_Spaulding]

Thanks very much for this video, you helped me decide that this air fryer is not quite the right one for me. I feel like it takes too long to cook compared to some other air fryers I've had. I think that may have something to do with the double sided cooking. Great video. Thanks! Ps:super jealous of all the yummy food you guys got to eat!!

I just purchased this air fryer and the food cooks FASSST

[@Captain_Spaulding]

@@cgurl haha I actually changed my mind and just bought one from Costco, figured I couldn't go wrong with their return policy just in case! I actually really like it so far, it really shocked me how fast it cooked lol. I was expecting super slow. lol. I think I will keep it. Super easy to wash too!

[@cgurl]

@@Captain_Spaulding haha!! I was going to purchase mine at Costco but I realized they sold the 4 in 1 and I wanted the 6 in 1 so I went with Walmart instead! But yeah I’m pretty impressed with it. I think I’m going to order some racks so I can maximize the cooking space in each section!

[@Captain_Spaulding]

Good thinkin' : ) Just curious what's the difference between the 4 in 1 and the 6 in 1? I was having trouble finding that info online. Thanks!!

How does the thermometer work will it show the temperature if where thanks for any help

It only displays the temperature you select, not the current temperature of the cook inside the unit. - J

Not sure if you have the right model. This one has no temperature probe. - J

should i go with the 10 quartz size vs 8 if i want to roast veggies or bigger pieces of chicken at the same time or is layering okay? thanks!

[@TheAverageKitchen]

Layering is ok as long as you shake the basket enough to even put the cooking. Size will depend on how many people you cook for, or how much food you cook at a time. Hope this helps! - J

Thanks a lot for the demo! Can you please, explain how to change from Fahrenheit to Celsius ?

[@TheAverageKitchen]

Thanks so much. I’m really not sure, maybe ninja would be able to answer that one. Marc

[@aloisius4188]

You can convert by googling the numbers. Example: what is 212° F in Celsius? Google will answer, 100° C.

[@aloisius4188]

But maybe you meant how to convert the F to C on the machine? Well, you can't; it is either one or the other depending where in the world it was purchased. Conversion must be done by yourself.
