I purchased a Ninja Max Dual 9.5 L AF for 2+ months , wish to learn more from an experienced person like yourself. Thank you for your professional advice , demo, review and recipes. Cheers !!
Worth bearing in mind when thinking about the cooking time, it may seem like only slightly less time than a conventional oven, but you eliminate the pre-heating time which with my NEFF can be up to 10 mins if I don't use the boost function. Extremely important to note when thinking about running costs!
I just got this today, it’s my first air fryer (I’ve never even used one before) and I can’t wait to use it tomorrow when I get home from work. I’m hoping to like it because I stopped frying about 10-12 years ago because i wanted my family to eat healthier and I didn’t want to deal the mess and disposal of oil. Fingers crossed that everything will go well.
Hands down best review ever 🙌. I'm looking to purchase a new airfryer, but I was torn between the corsori or the dual ninja. Everyone just loves the corsori but what made me watch your wonderful review was. You stated you can air fry a meal at the same time prefect. One question for you do you feel like the exterior is plastic and it should be steel. I looked at it in the store and wasn't sure. Sorry so long but this was the best review I seen so far for this airfryer.
These insightful gifts generously offered, most assuredly, after watching this video, I/we feel nurtured by the thoughtfulness gifted from this entity. Thank you
I own this 8 qt air fryer since May, it’s the best air fryer ever!!! been using it since I got it, now I just have to wait and see how many months or years before it breaks but hoping it’ll last for yearssss
I have one of these; can't imagine anyone serious about dehydrating fooling with this thing. Each side holds about 1 sliced banana--for a bunch of hours! Fortunately, I have a real dehydrator that's not only easier to use, but has a realistic capacity. Great review here-
I know this is an old comment, but for anyone reading this unit does dehydrate fairly well. You can buy stackable mesh trays (Amazon) that'll fit in each drawer, 3 levels each for a total of 6, and dehydrate much more fruit or jerky than trying to just lay a single layer in the bottom of each basket.
Great review and instructions! I already bought one at Costco on sale before I saw this but watching your review helped me feel I made a good decision for my needs.
Want to get a air fryer after I get my instant pot, I will probably be getting this , crazy that I saw this on the top 100 while just browsing Amazon then I see this video, so informative and straight to the point as a upcoming air fryer noob lol I think I understand most things now
Interesting helpful video thanks, you mention frozen food would set to low heat to start for few minutes then increase the temperature when the food is warmed through or set normal temperature. Have you or will put video on the Ninja 400
🤤🤤🤤 (pork chops) Anita, great review 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 I couldn’t figured out this air fryer an l was getting frustrated 🥺 You saved the day… and I am keeping the air fryer. Thank you for sharing this information 🙏🏻❤️
It looks so very complicated. Got it last Friday for the family. Step kids know how to use it from being at their grandparents house. Wife figured it out though I told her that she had to use it before which didn't make her happy lol! Family said they will teach me though it looks hard to use. I would return it but family wouldn't be happy with me
I love my ninja air fry but have to cook foods one by one. I think I'll be getting this dual zone one later to make my life easier and I love the smart finish feature too.
Thanks for the video. I just purchased and brought home my Ninja dual basket air fryer. I'm going to try this out right now. Thanks a lot for the video.
Ehh... it's really nothing to write home about. I have this and about 3 other Ninja Airfryers including the Foodie and XL oven. On this dual 8qt basket .. the baskets are VERY SMALL. if i wanted to cook a couple of pieces of fish I can only do about 3 pieces in each bin. That includes using the racks. They have a NEWER dual basket which can hold up to a 6lb chicken in each basket. It's a 10quart. I may be interested in that... both the 8qt and 10qt have 1690 watts. I dont know why Ninja would make a larger basket using the same wattage. So that's something to consider as well. I wanted to love this but.. it's just too small.
Great video! Now I feel ready to give it a try. Question...are those labels on either side of display supposed to stay there or am I supposed to remove them?
Excelent video, thank you. To use only one basket, how do I program to turn off or disable the basket that is not going to be used, to avoid unnecessary energy consumption? Thank you
Hello!👋 Thank you for this excellent video! Can you please do one more using the dehydrate feature to see how fruit like apples came out???? Pleaseeeeeee🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Haai.. We have the NINJA FOODI AF400 at home. He,s very strong, match power, High temperatures 230 degrees , 9,5 liters, very fast..we are happy with te ninja foodi af400....thanks for this video. GREETINGS FROM THE NETHERLANDS
I couldn't help wondering why you/she didn't utilise the ability to have things finish at the same time being as this is one of the good features of this air fryer?
Can u make jacket potatoes in this and if so what temp should i use and for how long and what temp to air fry chips and how long, sorry ive only just got mine today so i dont know any help i would appriciate it thank you.
Great and informative video. I JUST got my mine (10 qt) delivered today and am anxious to try it out. I have never brined anything before. How much water and salt for 2 pork chops and for how long, please? Also, should they be rinsed and dried afterward? Please keep up the good work.....Thanks in advance!
Hi, I didn’t measure but about 3 cups water and a tbsp salt mixed in. Brine for 4 hours, even an hour or two will give you juicy meat. No need to rinse. Pat dry chops and cook how you like. Here is my pork loin recipe from my Anitacooks channel if you’re interested: th-cam.com/video/JmYkhrBJ5kk/w-d-xo.html Enjoy 😉
@@bestkitchenreviews I'm cooking wings today which I am assuming can also be brined. I forgot to ask in my previous question......should meat, poultry, etc, be refrigerated while brining?
Is it normal to hear a ticking type noise, every 30 seconds or so, similar to an flat top stove burner heating up? Doesn't sound like a fan issue noise. Just curious.
Can you tell me if your Ninja Dual Basket Air Fryer makes a clicking sound when you are cooking food in both baskets at the same time. I don't notice the clicking sound when I am only cooking in one .
@@TennesseeYaya just get it up to temp then throw the food in there. Easiest case scenario run for four minutes, turn off unit throw food in and restart so its already hot inside. But all preheat is just that, heat unit before throwing in the goods :)
Hello! love this video, very helpful. Question, I would like to make hard boiled eggs in this dual basket. I would only be using 1 basket for cooking about 4 or 6 eggs. I've googled this question, it depends on the air fryer brand, but most everyone suggests 270 for 15 mins. However the lowest temperature this air fryer goes is 300. I've tried it for 14 mins, and with several attempts up to 9 mins the egg shell was completely stuck and parts of the egg was dry. So what do you suggest I do? Thank you!! Caroline
I think this is the best reviewer on TH-cam very fluent and straightforward 👏
Thanks so much 😉
Very well explained. For once this was about the product not about look at me me me!!
Glad you liked it 😁
This is one of the most organized and thorough reviews I have seen, especially for this product, which I just bought.

Already have one, and love it! Still learning how all the functions work, but am more than pleased so far.

Do you have to flip the food over as well?
Well done, I love the variety of foods you cooked in it.👍🏻
Thank you! 🎉 you are amazing. I needed this I bought one two days ago I was struggling how to use it.
You are so welcome!
This was a lot of fun to watch,. Thanks for making it. Mine is coming in 2 days, so of course I'm super curious and excited.
Wish they start making all size silicon pan for every New Ninja Cooker or Air fryer they made.👍♥️🇺🇸🦅🇲🇺🦤
I hope so too!
Love the way you describe how the ninja works. Thank you!
You are so welcome!

Absolutely the best information about this air fryer! Thank you for posting! Do you have a recipe book?
Me bachelor..need food...Ninja good...me dumb...fries good
Great review with a lot of details often overlooked by others. I just ordered my unit on Amazon because of your review.
Thanks 🙏

I couldn’t figured out this air fryer an l was getting frustrated 🥺
You saved the day… and I am keeping the air fryer.
Thank you for sharing this information 🙏🏻❤️
Glad it was helpful 🤩
How about cleaning the upper element part of the fryer? I assume that the fan blows oil up into the ceiling part of the basket zone.
It looks so very complicated. Got it last Friday for the family. Step kids know how to use it from being at their grandparents house. Wife figured it out though I told her that she had to use it before which didn't make her happy lol! Family said they will teach me though it looks hard to use.

I ordered the 10 quart unit the other day and your presentation was a great introduction!!! Thanks
Glad you liked it 😀
Excellent review and instructions! I have the original Ninja Foodie XL and I’m definitely buying this💕
Awesome! Thank you!
Amazing review you just earned a loyal follower
Thanks 😁
@@bestkitchenreviews Can you help me look at certain factors between DZ201 and DZ401 where one would benefit from the other?
This is an amazing video! Really helpful! The best one I’ve seen! Thanks for all that helpful info! I just bought one, so this helped a lot!
Glad it was helpful 😁
I just bought this air fryer last week. This will be a big help when I use it the first time. Thanks!
Would you recommend it?

These times seem way too high my current air fryer takes 10 mins at 400° to cook fries... 25 mins is way too high!
Ehh... it's really nothing to write home about. I have this and about 3 other Ninja Airfryers including the Foodie and XL oven.

Please can you make a video for how to bake cake in the Ninja foodie 2 basket air fryer next .🙏🇺🇲
Great video! Now I feel ready to give it a try. Question...are those labels on either side of display supposed to stay there or am I supposed to remove them?
Keep them there, why take them off? It's there to help you so you don't need to keep reverting to the booklet every time you cook something.
It looks cleaner without them...but that is the OCD coming out in me. They do serve as a quick reminder.
Great video ! I have this one and love it , l have read that the right side is hotter .
Thanks for sharing 😁
Hello. Could you do a comparison between the 5 in 1 foodie grill vs this unit?
Just boughtnone it gets to my place Sunday I can't wait
Excelent video, thank you. To use only one basket, how do I program to turn off or disable the basket that is not going to be used, to avoid unnecessary energy consumption? Thank you
Its default mode is set to 'off' you have to turn it on to cook rather than turn it off to disable it. I hope that makes sense.
Just curious - is there a reason why you're not using the smart finish function? It's supposed to insure both items finish at the same time.
do you have a video on reheating fully cooked burger meat [beef or turkey] and heating frozen raw turkey burgers
Thank you for the Video best explanation ever
😁
Great !! We love this, we use it all the time
Thanks for sharing 😁
How's cleaning? I have a Cuisinart (had it for several years). It works good, but it is a royal pain to clean.
Hello!👋
Thank you for this excellent video!
Can you please do one more using the dehydrate feature to see how fruit like apples came out????
Pleaseeeeeee🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
how well does the dehydrate function work? definitely a cool feature if it does a good job
So instant pot has a dual one as well...havent seen any videos comparing the two of them as yet
Great work with this video - thank you
Haai.. We have the NINJA FOODI AF400 at home. He,s very strong, match power, High temperatures 230 degrees , 9,5 liters, very fast..we are happy with te ninja foodi af400....thanks for this video.
GREETINGS FROM THE NETHERLANDS
Great video! Helped in making my decision a lot.
I couldn't help wondering why you/she didn't utilise the ability to have things finish at the same time being as this is one of the good features of this air fryer?
Thought that too! That’s what the sync button is for or the match button if it’s the same food your cooking in the two trays.
That’s what I was thinking. By the time the chips (fries) were cooked, the chops must have been cold 😐
Meat needs resting time, that’ll be why
Wow you're very informative You're definitely my go-to person
Thanks 🤩
I want one for Christmas.
Thank you! Very descriptive, clear and helpful!
Thanks for your thoughts on this unit.
😁
Can u make jacket potatoes in this and if so what temp should i use and for how long and what temp to air fry chips and how long, sorry ive only just got mine today so i dont know any help i would appriciate it thank you.
Great video and explanations, thank you so much!!!
You’re welcome 😁
I noticed you used the recommended cook time for single zone, but used both sides. In that case, shouldn’t we be using t cook time for dual zone?
Great and informative video. I JUST got my mine (10 qt) delivered today and am anxious to try it out. I have never brined anything before. How much water and salt for 2 pork chops and for how long, please? Also, should they be rinsed and dried afterward? Please keep up the good work.....Thanks in advance!

How do you make freanchtoast
French toast???
???
Who the hell is out here eaten there pork rare😂 thats super bold. Awesome video though! Thanks for the info!❤
No one covers what the bake fuction does or how to use it. Seams like it changes the speed of the fan but everything else is same.
The best reviewer. Thanks.
Thank You 😊
Thanks for this. I really learned a lot!
Wonderful 😁
I think I’ll get this for my sister, a house warming gift 🎁 😭
Wish U were my sister amazing gift!!!
Tell her I said hi
what a great video. well done! Thanks for doing this. Just got mine today!😜
Thanks 🙏
Bro I got mine today and made Chicken it was hella good 👍🏻
great review! thank you
Can you only cook junk food in an air fryer
I got this one yesterday and one side stopped working, only the fan works but the heat doesn’t.
Thank you so much I just bought it.
Enjoy 😉
Thanks for great information
I thought yo uhad to set the one side to finish the same as the other instead of the chops cooking first ,the chips would be done the same time .
Can you cook a curry in this?
Thank you for reviewing this item, well explained and informative,; furthermore, thank you for saving me from the reading of instructions 😆😅
Glad it was helpful 😁
Can you use foil or parchment paper ?
Is there a special cake pan that fits the basket?
Stuck between this and the flip ninja 10-1 air fryer from Costco 😔
hello, your nija air fryer has food description and temp when i click on the amazon site i dont see that on the box. Is it a different machine.
Why don't you use the smart finish?
Can you tell me if your Ninja Dual Basket Air Fryer makes a clicking sound when you are cooking food in both baskets at the same time. I don't notice the clicking sound when I am only cooking in one .
Preheat, preheat, preheat. Just a little advice. Your food will be much crisper:) awesome video, very informative on this model
Thanks for sharing 😀
Please tell me how to preheat this air fryer! I’ve looked everywhere!

Very helpful. Thank you

Is possible toast bread with that air fryer?
How do you cook rice with this?
Can we put whole chicken in one basket
what bis better ninja 2 basket or ninja gril and griddle
Do these things not show when it’s preheating?
