You don't need the tray for baking pizza.. just put the pizza on the rack without the tray so the bottom can cook.

[@TheAverageKitchen]

👍

[@YARR-js4hl]

Guys, I gotta say: putting insulating tinfoil in between your pizza (wings, whatever you're coooking) and your rack or tray will cause your food not to reach proper coming temperature, and certainly cause the oven's estimate of when the food will be properly cooked to be WAY off. Try the oven again without the tinfoil.

[@lorrainegunn4111]

Where are YOUR TONGS?!?

[@meri1155]

​@@lorrainegunn4111They are guys. They didn't pay attention during the discussion of germ theory in school ;)

[@jadeshockley5884]

I'm so confused why one of his biggest complaints is that you need an oven mitt to pull the toast out of the oven. It's an OVEN. Name one oven that you pull things out of without using an oven mitt. It is not a toaster. It's an oven that can toast your food.

[@TheAverageKitchen]

There are other toaster ovens with more space where you can just reach and grab the toast. This isn't one of them, so it's one more step involved vs others. - J

[@winnguyen443]

[@TheAverageKitchen]

Wicked price, we paid over $500 cdn. Marc

[@MNFlyingBoat]

[@TheAverageKitchen]

Exactly. Thanks for watching! - J

[@AngelaMarcotte-b5p]

As to the carrots and broccoli - carrots always take longer to cook than broccoli. Put the carrots in first and cook em, then add broccoli towards the end.

[@TheAverageKitchen]

Great tip. Thanks for watching. Marc

[@spiceman7701]

🤦🏿😊 😆 This guy Carrot 🥕 takes longer to cook than broccoli

[@itsnoahonfire]

Yes common sense. I was yelling at my phone 😂

[@SilichipX]

​ @TheAverageKitchen, You should have partially steamed the carrots and broccoli first, sprayed them with oil, and used the air fryer to crisp the outside of the veggies.

[@derekdurst9984]

All "Bagel" settings are set to toast only one side...if you want to toast both sides use regular toast settings. This is true of all toasters with a Bagel setting.

[@TheAverageKitchen]

Interesting thanks. I’ll check that out !! Marc

[@BostonBorn]

Power off the oven to reset the toast setting. The oven assumes you want a little more doneness on your bagel or toast. They should have a reset button to override it. Also, I recommend pulling out the crumb tray and covering it with foil (wrap it). As with every new product, there are always pros and cons. One note, you’re supposed to cut pillsbury cookies into quarters (or triangles)…🤣 One more thing…set your probe 5-8 degrees lower than your target temperature to allow for carryover cooking. That’s probably your temperature discrepancy. As far as the “design flaw” door handle is concerned…if you’re placing it on a deep set countertop, just place it atop a cutting board to raise it a little.

[@TheAverageKitchen]

Thanks for the comment! Although all your points are valid, doesn't that seem like a lot to worry about, i.e. a lot of cons? - J

[@BostonBorn]

@@TheAverageKitchen I guess that depends on who you ask. After watching a few other reviews, it appears the crumb tray belongs on the top. The bottom oven is primarily used with a pan and with an empty pan to catch drippings from the air fryer basket. As far as the toast function goes, I see it from two angles…it will accommodate quite a few slices of bread, making it a one shot deal for everyone and I’m guessing resetting the toaster for the next round would eventually become second nature. Personally, I see more pros than cons (outside of the ridiculous price point).

[@dothill1258]

I have this new model. I also have the original SmartXL Pro AirFry oven. While I certainly miss the open inner space of the SmartXL, I must say having the double oven has come in quite handy. I agree the Top oven is rather short in height. Had Ninja made this device 1.5 to 2.0 inches taller and incorporated that in the Top and Bottom ovens… I digress. Fact is, this device AirFries perfectly; the Convection Bake function (Bottom) is great as well. I prefer the Conv Bake (Bottom) over the Bake (Top). There is a noticeable difference time wise imo. The Bottom is very easy to clean. Everything I have tried has turned out well. Having the option to cook using two completely different functions is very useful. I feel Ninja should have made both doors independently open; however, since there is no auto-pause when the full door opens, there is really no substantial heat loss from the Top oven while checking on the Bottom. I just ran two 1:2 (1 slice; Shade 2) back to back. The first slice turned out just the way I like. The second slice turned out darker than the first in a shorter amount of time as oven was already hot. I do suggest purchasing an extra crumb tray and just place both in the oven (Top and Bottom). There’s also a 12x12x2 nonstick baking pan accessory that is quite nice; quite roomy.

[@TheAverageKitchen]

Fantastic comment ! Thanks so much for watching and sharing your thoughts !! Marc

[@dothill1258]

Oh… to clarify, both ovens can be paused either at the same time or independently.

[@TheAverageKitchen]

👍🏼👍🏼

[@teresasmith7928]

Thank you I just purchased one and haven’t taken it out of the box yet. I love all my ninja products and I couldn’t imagine this one being as bad as he is saying.

[@misterb6416]

I purchased mine here in the states, it was $329. Mine works well and I have no problem at all with toast and I make toast a lot. As for the probe, I never use any probe other than my Meater wireless probe which is always perfect so I don't even use the Ninja probe. As far as the door, I don't see the problem. The door when open, clears my counter just like my old one did so that's not an issue. True, I wouldn't pay $500 for this, but I don't think I would ever pay $500 on any toaster oven. I like the fact that when I'm making my toast I only have to use the top and it uses much less power that way and doesn't dirty the rest. Also, it makes toast really well and quick, so I don't know what happened in this demo.

[@TheAverageKitchen]

Thanks for the comment! - J

[@karlanapedersen1733]

You guys are hilarious! Have you never used a convection/ oven toaster before?!? 😂😂

[@TheAverageKitchen]

We have actually. Thanks for watching! - J

[@jeffryhysong]

There are so many poor reviews around, where it's obvious that the reviewer just took the item out of the box, hasn't ever cooked anything with it, and is just regurgitating the promotional BS from the manufacturer. I like that you actually cook with it. Thanks.

[@TheAverageKitchen]

Thank you very much. Our goal is always to be independent, unbiased while providing thorough reviews. Marc

[@bb.cute.channel]

Thanks for your honest review. We feel the same about this product. Many negatives. 1. Too overpriced! 2. Bottom door should have independent handle for opening. 3. Slanted door because the handle is too thick! 4. Only one crumb tray is dumb, Should come with 2 crumb trays.

[@TheAverageKitchen]

I agree 1000% ! Thanks for watching and the comment. Marc

[@bb.cute.channel]

@@TheAverageKitchen If they come up with a Ninja Smart Double Oven v2.0 and fix all these issues (especially lowering the price point), we might reconsider it. As of now, this product is NOT recommended.

[@ks5831]

I think the crumb tray goes in the upper oven. And, put one of the included sheet pans in the lower oven under the air fryer basket to catch the drippings.

[@TheAverageKitchen]

Could be, but don't you think 2 should have been included? - J

[@mattro4902]

This certainly helped. I struggle in my kitchen not having two ovens. I have the standard sized gas oven but it takes 4x as long to preheat so the idea of having a smaller double oven is attractive so the insight was helpful.

[@TheAverageKitchen]

Thanks for the feedback ! Marc

[@laurieory4637]

If you read the instructions it clearly states the bagel goes bottom side down. Also you have the crumb tray on the bottom oven, which should be on the top when using the top oven.

[@TheAverageKitchen]

Thanks for watching and the comment !! 👊🏼👊🏼

[@JJ-rf5kl]

I was a minute away from buying one until I saw this vid. LIKE

[@TheAverageKitchen]

Haha. Glad we could help! - J

[@bradley7506]

Due to all the trial and error with the bagels I think I might go with the new Ninja Combi. Seems like it does all the same types of cooking without being huge and no hassles with the double door

[@TheAverageKitchen]

True! Although it's not a "toaster". Check out our Combi review! - J

[@ds99]

On my countertop I have the oven pushed up against the back wall. The door handle clears the countertop. I think because you’re using it on an island you’re running into issues with the door handle. Thanks for the review.

[@TheAverageKitchen]

Yup valid points. We definitely had only 1 tray though. And we presumed it would clear a counter that way, but some people use it in different ways. Thanks for watching! - J

[@laurieory4637]

If you press the stop start button, it pauses the cooking if the timer isn't run out, then you can start where you left off after put it back in the oven.

[@TheAverageKitchen]

Thanks! - J

Sorry to nit pick, but why did you interrupt the cooking to flip the bagel when there are heating elements top and bottom on the top section of the oven?

[@TheAverageKitchen]

Force of habit maybe. Not sure lol

[@cpolischeckpolischeck9250]

Why didnt you use the air basket that came with the unit for the veggies. You probably would have gotten different results

I paid 289.00 on sale at target in Florida. It makes toast fine. Bagels turn out perfect.

[@haleybethwilson]

Saw this on sale at Target at out the door price of $218.51 I have a huge Gourmia air fryer, old, dumb, and small toaster oven and then I also live in home with no A/C (Southern California) so turning on oven during summer is a pain. I was really hoping this would replace 3 small appliances for me. The toast test -- geez I can’t believe how bad it failed. Excellent testing here. Very appreciative of your notes! Going to pass for now. Unless @ninja is watching these comments and in that case, send me one to test 😂

[@TheAverageKitchen]

Haha. Thanks for the great comment!

[@laurieory4637]

They suggest you use the crumb tray in the top and they suggest you use the sheet pan under any thing greasy. You can purchase an additional crumb tray for the bottom if your going to use either ovens a lot.

[@TheAverageKitchen]

It should come with that extra crumb tray though... - J

[@laurieory4637]

I agree, I had to order one.

[@radzer0966]

On the pizza if you read the package it says to put it on the rack. Not a pan unless you want soft crust.

I understand that I'm kinda weird, but I don't like toasted bagels. I put'em in the microwave oven for 30 seconds and slather butter on'em when they come out. I do like chewy bagels much better than toasted bagels. I know that I would probably be shot if I told a New York restaurant that, but I'm never going back to NYC anyway.

I think my favorite part was the wings, that made a mess.. in a basket, with holes in it. And nothing was added to the basket to prevent that or the bottom to catch anything. I use those grilling mats to catch or line a rack/basket.

[@TheAverageKitchen]

Great point !! Marc

[@djbis]

Does it have a manual time setting for toast? 😢

[@TheAverageKitchen]

I believe so yes. Marc

[@emilyamizich1466]

I just got this (our first air fryer or little convection oven) so I read the instructions. The crumb tray is supposed to be in the top oven when both are in use I believe. Not sure if it would have changed things but it is a barrier between the two.

[@TheAverageKitchen]

Interesting. You'd think it would depend on what you're cooking. - J

[@jlt001928]

I’m so confused about the tray.

[@TheAverageKitchen]

You're right. Give us 2!! - J

[@karlanapedersen1733]

Your having issues cause you did not prime your oven FIRST. Instructions said BEFORE first usage run both ovens at 450 degrees for 25 minutes to prime the oven and burn off non-toxic manufacturing coatings. Plus priming the oven first regulates the cooking mechanism before you get started. I did the prime and did not have inconsistent toasting issues. Clearly your toasting is off as a result. 😂

[@TheAverageKitchen]

I don't think that would account for the major differences we were seeing, but thanks for the feedback. - J

[@suran396]

So,.I am thinking of getting one. So, you're saying you have no problems with toast? And how many pieces fit at once? 4 slices? 6 slices? How is it as an air fryer? How big is the fryer basket?

[@marie-paulev7010]

Can you Air Fry with the 2 ovens at the same time.. example : Top Oven Wings , bottom French Fries?

[@TheAverageKitchen]

I believe you can yes. Marc

[@suran396]

I thought the top isn't an air fryer? Am I wrong?

[@SpregioCheeks]

I'll tell ya one thing, this beast machine makes the best cookies. Like industrial style. Someone asked me where I got my sugar cookies, and had to explain to them I made them. Our Ovens usually brown the bottom. Pizza, I just place on wire rack on the bottom. Been tough to get the bottom just right depending on thickness of pizza.

when I bought the hot air fryer which I felt was way better than other over priced ones. I liked that it let you adjust time and temp. But the instructions for cook times and such were subjective.

Agreed, however considering how thin and cheap the crumb tray appears to be, it should be included. Ninja pushes the fact that you can use both ovens at once, but don't include all accessories to be able to necessarily do that. - J

[@francisdubois3114]

You’re supposed to put the wire rack and tray at the bottom when using the Air Fryer function. The crumb tray is exclusively built for the top oven.

[@TheAverageKitchen]

If I remember correctly, the instructions say it's interchangeable. But thanks for the comment! - J

[@Liazon098]

This is looking to be like having a new computer, like you gotta experiment. ALLOT to get things right. You guys show that you guys are new to this and if I ever bought this I might be having a bad time if not hundreds of dollars in questionable food. Thanks for doing the cook. It makes sense to me if anyone gets this you have to vision what you're going to cook and practice.

You need to follow the instructions for how to cook bagels in this unit. (Put cut side up and leave it up, and for 2 halves, you need to select "2", not "1".)

[@TheAverageKitchen]

Pretty sure I can select whatever setting I desire. Marc

[@paulkemp8007]

@@TheAverageKitchen I mentioned this because you're reviewing the product without following the instructions. No insult intended. Just a suggestion.

[@TheAverageKitchen]

No prob. But the bagel setting has a range. So choosing level 1 is not a reflection of “not following instructions “. Thanks for watching and the comment. Marc

I haven’t had a problem with toasting anything. I make grilled cheese sandwiches in this all the time. I have had to learn a little and adjust times but not by much. I also use it to make homemade pizza, and brownies.

I feel like removing or inserting a tray of hot food at an angle is so dangerous for liquid fat drippings to spill over into the unit.

HOW MANY ppl will have this oven so deep on the counter (like in the video) that the handle touches the counter!? Every toaster oven I’ve ever had opens all the way bc it hangs off the counter…. Not an issue at all for most folks.

This is 100% the best review of this product. I’ve watched a bunch of reviews and no one else was as thorough. You made a TON of food (who eats all that food, do you throw it away?). You spent a bunch of money on food, as well as the toaster, not to mention your time and video production…….just so my dumb arse can watch this video to determine I shouldn’t buy an inconsistent toaster. You sir are a saint.

Hello guys! Even though it is more expensive, I think that model is a step down from Ninja's well regarded DT251/250 Foodi 10-in-1 Smart XL Air Fry Oven.

@@TheAverageKitchen That model has been in the market for about 2 to 3 years and the reviews are excellent. Costco online had its own version (model DT255CO) on sale recently for $199.99 (the one with the probe), but now it is back to $249.99. Amazon had the DT251 yesterday for $229.99 but today it is back to $329.99. I understand thats Ninja's most regarded oven.
