You want to par cook your sweet potatoes first by simmering them. Right before they’re just fork tender you want to drain them and pat dry them. Then you put them in the air fryer! That will crisp them right up.

[@jaimegoggans2581]

Wonderfully helpful

[@jameelamaharaj8214]

Hi can you please recommend a cheaper one that is also good. Wanted one mostly just for frying

[@andrewgarnell2170]

Hi. Great video. Just ordered one off Amazon. You have a great family 👍😊☝️

This is one of the best reviews I’ve seen on KZbin In years. I was genuinely delighted. Sorry but not sorry Your kids stole the show. Lol good job 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@DiffFamilyReviews]

I appreciate that!

[@Raptor2291]

Dust them with cornstarch before cooking and they'll crisp up You need to take some extra steps to get sweet potato crispy. They don't have as much starch as regular potatoes and when cooked, the starch they do have is turned to sugar, leaving you soggy fries. If you want to take an extra step, boil them in vinegar water before cooking, the vinegar helps retard the enzyme that turns the starch in sweet potatoes to sugar.

[@matthewchunk3689]

Wonder if you could dehydrate them in the Ninja before air frying?

[@1962Aero]

That is good information. How long do you boil them for?

[@DiffFamilyReviews]

Thanks for the tips!

Bro you couldn’t chosen a different adverb

Thanks. My daughter has one and loves it. I’m trying to convince my wife her precious counter space needs one too!

[@clyt9636]

Love to see you cook with your kids ! Beautiful family

[@DiffFamilyReviews]

Thank you so much

[@Kit2KatBar]

Try boiling the sweet potatoes for about 10 min and let them dry completely before throwing them into the air fryer. Also a generous coat of oil. Careful you don't break them apart when coating them.

[@saharm2454]

Beautiful family and great review, thank you all for sharing 🙏

[@DiffFamilyReviews]

Thank you!

[@juneannebrorsen367]

Loved seeing the children involved. Just bought on today. Thanks for the help

Great Video, informative. We got ours a few weeks ago and love it.. The family interaction is great and adds so much to watching it. Thank you.

i’m here for the chicken demo. Looks absolutely delicious! thanks for sharing the fail on not using the bottom tray, so the rest of us can avoid that too’

Thank you for reviewing the dehydrator! Not too many show that! Your family is lovely! I really enjoyed their involvement and honesty! I'm new to this market entirely, and I found this very helpful!!

[@DiffFamilyReviews]

Thanks

[@LessThanHandy]

You are a very lucky man to have such a wonderful family. The Ninja Foodi looks like a thumbs up product.

[@smile4menow222]

Love your video! Cutest family! I was kinda hoping the dog would steal the show and steal that food off the table in one of the shots! Tee hee!

[@DiffFamilyReviews]

He’ll do that when we’re not looking!

[@bassiclogic]

I have never done sweet potato fry's, but when I air fry regular fries, I spray them with olive oil spray and they come out very crispy! The same with Chicken wings!

[@DiffFamilyReviews]

Great tip!

[@SpYucaipaSoCal]

I just made my first fresh dough pizza. Because I had some dough in the fridge and wife was gone. So I just went for it. 2 minutes with parchment paper underneath this makes an easy build platform. Then pull the paper out for the next one. My Ninja is a slightly different model and it has presets for frozen or raw pizzas. Anyway it did a fantastic on a med thick crust with plenty of toppings. We bought it after it was recommended by a friend and it did clear the counter top of multi other gadgets. I have been cooking my pizzas on the Kamado it does cook them much faster about 5 minutes vs 12 in the ninja. But the ninja is push the button easy.

[@DiffFamilyReviews]

That’s great. Parchment paper definitely comes in handy for pizza.

[@SpYucaipaSoCal]

On the Kamado it burns the paper pretty fast. I try after about 20 pizzas to cook at 425 stone temp for best results. I don’t like black. The ninja said 400 degrees on fresh pizza mode.

[@DiffFamilyReviews]

I think they're good for like 450-500°F or close to that but they typically only burn around the pizza so the underneath is ok. And like you said, you pull them after about 2 minutes.

[@jammen10]

I’ll do the $1000 sweet potato fry challenge

[@DiffFamilyReviews]

Haha. I know who to challenge.

[@xiuxiu1108]

Sweet potatoes don't fry well because they aren't starchy like Russets; if you do want crispy sweet potato, you have to coat them in potato/corn starch slurry first, allow them to dry, and THEN fry them

[@DiffFamilyReviews]

Thanks for the tip

[@masquedebe713]

Thanks for the excellent review of the toaster oven but a special thanks for sharing your lovely family, you are a rich man.

[@DiffFamilyReviews]

Thank you!

[@leslywilliams7412]

Your kids are ADORABLE!

[@DiffFamilyReviews]

Thanks

[@BIGROB123]

The reason why you're sweet potato fries and that come out crispy is because you used olive oil next time spray them with vegetable oil and they will be a big difference.

[@DiffFamilyReviews]

Thanks for the tip

[@CG-hy8gw]

Great video! Love the family dynamic 🙏🏽

Great review!!! I’m doing buffalo wings this weekend. Your family is great.

[@Young_Travels]

They say to wait half way through cooking to baste the food to limit mess.

[@stevenswall]

My guess for fries and such not getting crispy: you have to bread them a bit as that's what crisps... And most toaster oven makers don't pay attention to the thermals so they have to cycle the heating elements on and off. Many ovens do this too when preheating. Ideally toaster ovens and ovens when on a convection mode to get something would never turn any heating elements off.

[@edwardcieplehowicz9712]

thank you for the informative video! Really helped with a purchasing decision.

[@DiffFamilyReviews]

Glad I could help!

[@titocruz181]

Does your oven make a fan noise when not in use?

[@Travisb238]

You need to coat them in corn starch to make them crispy! And space then out, no overlapping.

[@DiffFamilyReviews]

Good idea, thanks

[@laraoneal7284]

Your kids are adorable.

[@DiffFamilyReviews]

I think so too! Thank you

Can you do a 12" pizza in the Ninja"

[@Jonathan-ip9qf]

Can you make good normal fries with it?

[@DiffFamilyReviews]

Yeah

[@maxwell_edison]

Can you stick the crumb tray above the heating elements? If it's using convection it might not matter that much, and infact.. would it cook more evenly even?

[@DiffFamilyReviews]

No, it's kind of tight in there as it is.

[@philipbodkin]

This video was very helpful to us even though we have a Nuwave Bravo XL. I am anxious to make wings. So you said you guys were near Buffalo... Where? We live in Niagara Falls.

[@jovbetzchan7793]

Orange sweet potatoes do not get crispy. Use another type of sweet potato 🍠 (like this) with red skin.

[@charlie1571]

nothing under the wings? How long have you been cooking?

[@DiffFamilyReviews]

Long time

[@charlie1571]

@@DiffFamilyReviews No offense but what I was implying was place some foil on the drip pan and clean would be a breeze. Just a thought.

[@LongshanMusic]

Great review. Sweet potato fries aren't really healthier though. 😉 Also, you have an awesome family.

[@cleopatrajones2024]

To be honest I've had sweet potato fries from restaurants and people's houses and none of them were crispy like a white potato.

[@spbynum]

May I ask how you prevented the air fryer from smoking up the house cooking those wings for that long at that high of a temp?

[@DiffFamilyReviews]

No idea

[@MrRquiroz]

Nice review 👍🏾

Thanks for the video. Your family is so cute. What is the height when it is standing. I need to see if it will fit under my cabinets.

I’ve tried chicken thighs, very good.

Any kind of potatoes. Sweet or normal. Boil them first. To a stage of almost breaking up (Surface will look rough). Drain. Tossing in some salt and oil. Then put into the air fryer

[@DARTH-VADER-SW]

Sweet potato. To get them crispy. Add a tablespoon of oil in a bowl mix it up with the sweet potato 🍠. Add some salt. then air fry.

[@emilybosarge6382]

I have this air fryer toaster oven and LOVE IT. One of my favorite things is quicker cook times. I used to roast potatoes in my range oven and it would take me 45-50 minutes at 425 to get them just right. With this air fryer toaster oven, it takes about 20 minutes at 425 to get them how I like. Love things that save me time!

[@DiffFamilyReviews]

Emily Bosarge Agreed! We use it every day and the insanely fast preheat times can’t be beat.

[@faz4983]

Do you still love it?

[@thomaswilson9557]

Thanks for a great video. It’s wonderful to see your family involved. Your kids look great and well behaved. One of the reasons that we lasted for the entire 10 minutes and 53 seconds was because of the entertainment value. You and your family provided that. Plus you gave a great review of the oven. Thanks a lot.

Thank you!

[@ashaburtell9910]

You helped me so much! I also have a large family and out of all of the airfryer/toaster oven models out there, I liked this one the most. But it looked too small for our family ( 8 kids at home) , you just proved to me that it’s good for big families as well!

Wow, I usually don't get all soft hearted looking at videos of families but oh my god, your family is just so cute and your kids are so obedient. They seem genuinely happy. I wish all kids had an opportunity to be raised in a household like this. All kids would be a mess if they were raised in horrible households. You all appear to be good parents and that's hard to find nowadays. Also I'm going to go buy this oven today just because of you all.

Sweet potatoes lack the starch needed to make them crispy, which is why sweet potato fries in restaurants are coated with a batter. Just a heads up.

Sweet potatoes will get crispy. You just have to toss them in a little bit of high smoke point oil. We use avocado oil.

Could I use this to actually bake stuff? Would it, for example, allow me to do Sheppard's pie in a pyrex dish? Asked otherwise, is it a real oven, or just a quick snack thing?

You can totally use it to bake stuff. You're obviously limited to smaller pans but we use it all the time for baking.

[@lookielooie]

Your family is so cute! Great review. I just got one and agree about the sweet potato fries 😢. Even still, it's my new favorite thing. As for the clean up, I take the air fry basket, put it in the pan, pour some vinegar in the bottom, sprinkle some baking soda and leave for about 20 minutes. When I come back, everything wipes down easy. Hope that helps.

It preheats automatically, so not much you can do there.

I bought this thing. In the instructions it says you can air fry with or without the pan underneath. So you were not mistaken to try that.
