I am living with my younger brother and I am the cook, oh! yeah, we are 2 guys. anyway. Your many videos made my life so much easier, sometimes because of the recipe you do, other times for doing exactly telling us what is best or better for our needs when cooking. You are by far the best when I am looking for different new things to try. My brother work from home since Covid for a bank, that understood huge towers full of employees driving back and forth daily wasn't that productive, so now he is at home full-time and I enjoyed cooking for both of us. "YOU" have given me great ideas to cook with a Ninja foodi. I love how you explain and set up your recipe, Thank you for been so amazing to us your viewers and your subscribers.
Thank you so much!
I'm obsessed with your videos!! You are by far the best teacher. You have saved me hours in the kitchen, hours!! I used to do everything the "old school" way - in the oven, or on the stove top, and now I'm cooking in a Ninja or instant Pot multiple times a day!! Thank you for being so thorough, thanks for sharing your knowledge, and thank you for making cooking fun again!
Wow, thank you! That means the world to me!
As it should !
Love your channel as an OTR truck driver who is looking to save by cooking on my truck you give me hope for easy and much healthier meals!! Peace and love keep doing great videos I look forward to learning and growing with you and my new ninja foodie
That's great! The Foodi really makes it nice to cook on the road for sure! A lot of truck drivers are getting them.
This was exactly what I was looking for! I didn’t expect to find a video to answer it all and be so informative. Thanks!
I can’t believe that you are the ONLY source out there showing the comparison between the two ninja foodies . Thank you. Ninja didn’t do it . Neither did they have a crisp basket or any type of mesh basket to the 6.5 ninja. As well as not adding a thermometer in it. I guess half way, we are to shake up, or stir up the french fries with a spoon then proceed on to air fry them. Then when it is all over l guess then we have to then lift the fries out with prongs. I have a 6.5 ninja. And this is what I have to do. It’s as if the Ninja company just abandoned us.
This was so helpful to me. I got the 8 qt for Christmas and wasn't sure what accessories I would want to have right away. Now I know. Also, I do love your videos.
Thank you so much!
I did the 4, 6, 10 method to make my eggs and it worked perfectly! Thank you so much for the tip! I’m loving my Foodi!!
I'm so happy that worked for you!
Thank you! You really helped me make my decision! I went with the 8qt, I can't wait til it gets delivered :)
You'll love it!

Thank you so much! I've been so intimidated to cook with my 6.5 Ninja Foodi - but now, watching you makes me more confident❣❣
That is so nice to hear! I hope you get started and love it! I have a lot of information on my website if you want to take a look: thesaltedpepper.com
@@TheSaltedPepper That's so nice of you - I will do that!!
EXCELLENT Video. Your Videos are simply on another Level than the rest. Very polished, professional and informative. It seems there is no Detail not worth mentioning & appreciate that the most - you make no assumptions what people might or might not know. Thank you. Wishing you continued success with your Amazon Store!
Thank you so much!
You sold me on the 6.5”. Will go to your shop for accessories. Love that you give us pros & cons.
You'll love it!
What an EXCELLENT video. Amazingly informative and the presentations were simple and easy to understand.
Glad it was helpful!
So My dad got me the ninja foodi 4 Christmas I am so excited & can't wait to cook in it!!! New subscriber Thanks for sharing
Congratulations! I hope you love it!
I just purchased the 6.5 qt from Sams. I enjoyed your video very much. You could really have your own show on Food Network. Very informative and professional. Gonna' give this a try right now.
Thank you so much! Congratulations on the Foodi! You are going to love it. I appreciate your kind words and I love making these videos, so I'm thrilled that you found value in them!
Curious, what was the price? I’m looking to get one at our NeX next week and it’ll be on sale for $180. Not sure where to go for better pricing.
I ordinarily don't watch lengthy videos, but I am glad I did. Great video!
Thank you so much!
So detailed. I loved this video. I bought the ninja foodie from Sam's but have been too intimidated to even take it out the box. I will this week. Great video. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful! Yes, get it out of the box! You are going to love it!
@ Lady Bay , Did you get the 8qt or 6.5 qt?
Same, mine is just sitting in the box. Lol
Have the 6.5 qt and this is the best kitchen appliance I have ever owned.
I agree 100% It's incredible!
Thank you SO MUCH for the comparison! You got yourself another fan I can not wait to cook with it!
Awesome! Thank you!
Kudos to you for putting the appropriate affilate code disclaimer above any links in your description. :) As a viewer AND consumer, it is much appreciated. Well done! :)
Of course! It's required and it's the right thing to do.
Thanks so much for taking the time to share your knowledge. I just got my 8qt so I've been looking into how to use this.
Congratulations on the Foodi! You are going to love it!
It's FUN! But still a learning experience.
I have the 6.5 and the 8 love them both, thank you for making this video very helpful 👍🏼💖
Thank you! I love them both too!
I love how you explain things as your so much easier to follow than some others. Ta.
Glad to help!
I have to agree with the others, love your channel, love how you explain everything!
Thank you so much!
Loved the video, thank you. I saw another TH-cam showing you're able to flip the rack upside down.Looking forward to getting mine very very soon!
I hope you love your Foodi! Sorry, I'm just getting back to you. TH-cam is funny about comments sometimes and I don't see them.
Went 7.5. So many different options now lol. Purchased both the 7.5 and mini oven. I like the window option for baking. £400 for both. Not a bad deal imo. Same price as a new oven. They both do a similar job.
Truly awesome video!!! You answered so many questions that I had!!! I love hard boiled eggs!!! I can’t prepare a bunch of them without eating a few. I love those things!!! 👍🏾👍🏾
Glad it was helpful!
I just bought Ninja Foodi XL (8 quart) and I can't wait to try them
Another really good video. I liked the two camera combined shots and the decibel meter. High quality, and nicely done. I had to laugh a little, though. I have a pretty big kitchen, but I feel like my 8 qt Foodi takes a lot of counter space. You have room for three! Wow! You have a great kitchen.
Thank you! I am pretty lucky with a lot of counter space in my kitchen. Of course, there is never enough! LOL
I just got my 6.5 Foodie and my chops last night were a failure but I had not watched any videos. Now I have. I know I'm going to love it and look forward to more videos.
Have fun!
I’m glad yuh did this, makes me feel like I’m not missing out! My husband came in when I was watching this & he said 😂 that lady sure is on a lot of food network shows,,,,, 😂🤷🏻♀️ I watch you on my tv , he gets confused!
🤣🤣🤣 Thanks for making my night! I’m laughing so hard! 🤣🤣🤣 I can’t get used to TH-cam on the TV either! I watch a ton of gardening shows from TH-cam on my TV.
I do too, I’m watching container gardening ( gardening with Leon) I’m wanting to try next year! Cucumbers grown in barrels with water, it’s like freaking amazing!
That's exciting! Cucumbers seem pretty easy to grow. I have several of them in the garden and they are doing great. You will love gardening and there is so much you can grow in a container! I have carrots growing in an old large barrel. Can't wait to see how they are!
Hi dear, I'm stuck between ninja foodi or Emeril I'm trying to purchase soon as possible can you help me decide?? Thanks
Thanks guys - as film-makers we appreciate your production standards. Much more pleasant to watch and listen to than most.
Thanks! This is actually an older video, we have improved since then. My husband has a ton of video production and editing experience, so that helps a ton!
The Salted Pepper - the background shows.
PS - the 8 quart Foodi arrived today 🤣
Great comparison. I'm getting the 8 qt.The newer version with the adjustment knob has a 2 level rack.
I'm sure you will love it!
Thank you for your youtube show and thank you for the links. Thanks to you, I was able to buy my sister the ninja foodi that she wished for Christmas. :)
That is wonderful and she is going to love it!
brilliant and comprehensive review - thank you so much for taking the time to show this. Alison (London UK)
Thank you so much!
Getting this as well as a replacement for a recently overused air fryer we had.. but let me say to your review..."Very good".
I hope you enjoy your Foodi!
Awesome comparison! You have a new fan!! Thank you for your videos!
Thank you so much!
How fun! I have the 8 quart and have followed your recipes and they always turnout just like yours! Yah on your own Amazon account! I'm heading there now!
That's great to hear Debbie! I've always wondered if there any major differences in cooking with the 8 qt verses the 6.5 qt. I hope to get more items in my store, but I will only suggest ones I know and use. I might add a section of reader favorites too, so if you have an accessory that you love that can be found on Amazon, let me know!
I just get my the 6.5 qt and i love it thanks for the video it's very helpful to me
Great to hear!
I sautéed shrimp this morning in the 5 qt, while my soup was cooking in my 8 qt. My pork stew came out great. I have a habit of tossing everything into my stews from broccoli, to tomatoes besides carrots, potatoes, celery etc.
I Love this video. My son just bought the 8 qt. and loves it so he wants to buy me the 6.5 qt. I think I'll let him. Thank you.
You'll love it!
Came to find out which size to buy. I'm going for the 8qt :)
You'll love it!
Bed Bath & Beyond has the 8qt 9-in-1 Model FD401 on a 2021 4th of July sale for $149.99
Just got one from BB&B for the sale price. Now I'm online trying to learn how/what to cook. Hubby is craving beef tips over noodles so I guess that will be recipe #1.
Excellent informative, detailed and well paced presentation. So the NFG is an air fryer, pressure cooker and grill ... a three in one appliance. I’m thinking the 8 qt is the one for me.
I know you will be happy with whichever Ninja Foodi you choose!
I just got the new 8qt and I am so glad I found your channel, you explained everything I needed to know, was considering returning for a 6.5 qt but I wouldn't anymore. Subscribing right now.
Congrats on the Foodi! I know you will love it!
@@TheSaltedPepper I am considering the Foodi. Have never had a Foodi or Instant Pot but I am leaning towards the Foodi. I have 2 kids, it is just the 3 of us. I am wondering whether I should get the 6 or 8 quart? My daughter is 14 and my son is 11. Between Little League, band, plays, choir, lawn care, laundry, house cleaning, president of the bass club, president of the ATV club and work, I am pretty pressed for time, plus I am going back to college in the fall for a 3rd degree. The 3 of us dont eat a ton each, but is there a benefit of the 8 over the 6 quart Foodi? I just dont know which one to get?
Why were you considering returning it for the 6.5?
This is an awesome video. It really helped me decide which one to purchase.
I asked a question on another one of your videos, that you answered in this video. :-)
This has been so helpful! I am trying to decide which one to get, and now have a better idea.
Glad it was helpful!
These Foodies remind me of R2D2.
They grow on you after a while. LOL
😂
Haha I see it.
I said to my sister, "I've got an R2D2 on the counter now". They really do, and the beep sounds familiar.
So true; I couldn’t put my finger on it, but that’s what it is, lol. Too funny. Thanks for that reminder. ;)
I'd ordered from the ninja foodi manufacture the 8 qts and got the hold package deal with everything at no extra cost per parts
Ivan That’s great!
Just the answers I wanted to compare these two. Thank you for all the trouble you took to prepare this comprehensive video!
Glad it was helpful! You can't go wrong with either one!
I love your review. Very professional.
I appreciate that!
Hi 🙋🏻♀️very nicely explaining. I just bought last week. Thank you.
I really like the excellent food I eat from the Ninja
The Pork chops are wonderful. I use salt pepper and Garlic powder
Cover both sides with the spices. I always buy the Chops with the bones the bones, they are scrumptious
Kathy Fann I’m so glad you are loving the Foodi!
New subscriber from London 🇬🇧 😀
Very good video. Thank you 🙏
I would wash everything before using it anyway. Oils from manufacturing and possible people's dirty hands have touched it. Thanks for the detailed demo
Thank you! I agree with washing everything before use. I should have probably worded that a little different.
Getting one of these, so excited! You make excellent videos! Wasn't sure if you already had one or not, but can you either guide me to or make a video soon of you cooking a meal with the pan set up? Like you said the red bean dish, with cornbread and rice. I would love to see how you actually do that, or another more difficult dish than that with the pan layers. If you have a chance, that's something I would love to see. Thanks so much. Glued to your videos all day. Would possibly like to try doing videos myself in the future. Maybe of me trying to follow your instructions :) Thanks so much!
Thank you so much! I have been working on 360 meals, that are layered. There is a playlist, but I think just one video. I also have some curry dishes that make the rice and the curry together (but not in the same pan). Hope that helps.
@@TheSaltedPepper great thanks so much!
Three of them!! Wow! I wish my 8 quart was as quiet as yours. But it works, so that’s okay. Except for when you dehydrate something. Every time it lowers the temp and then raises the temp it’s super loud. Six hours of that was super annoying. On the fries, you used the basket that came with the eight quart, right? With it being deeper I wondered how the air frying compared with the 6.5 quart. There didn’t seem to be much difference. Very informative video. Keep up the awesome work.
Yep! Three! LOL! I did use the basket that comes with the 8 qt and there really wasn't any difference. I'm amazed how the basket works so well to circulate and brown food from the bottom. It's a great design.
Once again!! Another informative video for our enjoyment!! Thank you for a job well done!!!
Thank you so much!
Love this video really helpful in my decision making. Thank you. I would love to see cooking in the layered combinations/stacks.
Great video! I'm thinking of getting the 8 quart.
Either choice is a good one!
NICE review, but then again I you have an addicted fan here now...you review like you're taking to a friend over coffee. I really enjoy that style plus you're an Foodi Addict...hehehe...
I was jazzed because I scored the OP401 today as a clearnce one-off at Walmart for $99.79...!!! Even better I was shopping to break in my new Capital One Walmart MC to take advantage of the full year of 5% cashback for the 1st year for all in-store purchases...opps, kinda digressed...but I am so jazzed about finding this deal. I missed the Black Friday Amazon bargains because I just wasn't really aware of the Ninja or even Instapot cookers yet.
Mine is taking the place of the dead as yesterday Sharp Carousel Convection MW over the stove oven. Not gonna spend another $600+ to replace it for the 3rd time...
I am so happy. Already cooked a 6lb chicken I had to buy because I found this beastie. Broke it in then went to town...darned chicken was done juicy and crispy in about 25min total. I'm single now and 60ish so a simple one pot device is very appealing. I had already watched several of your videos and had pretty much decided on the Ninja XL sized pot because I like to cook big roasts, pork or beef, and chickens and the like so I have leftovers for the weekend. My stove top is not likely to see much use anymore. I kind of like that and it will be awesome in the RV too....
Thanks to your tips I had zero problems figuring things out and had no issues cooking from the first try....weeeeee, I know I need therapy!! :p
I'm so glad you are having fun with your new Ninja!
Great comparison, thank you. You have a new subscriber !!
Awesome, thank you!
had to watch this video debating whether I should get the 6 or the eight I think i'll get the 8 . I have it on order already thanks for showing the difference
You can't go wrong with either one!
I just ordered this on the 3rd of this month September 2021 it comes on September 14th next week I’m excited 😊 this will be my first one I know im a year late
Great review and comparison!
Thanks CJ!
What a great video! Thanks so much for the great tips!
Thank you!
You’re welcome! We just got the 8 quart a few weeks ago and I am still learning how to use it.
Hi, so glad I clicked on your video! New subscriber to your channel & new to Ninja Foodi! I love gadgets & have way too many, but when they make my daily routines easier & more fun, something in me just makes me HAVE to get it! Lol 😂
Was in Costco 8/3/19 & my fiancé pointed out the Ninja Foodi, he teases me about all my gadgets lol. He read everything it does -aloud- in a super excited voice with saucer size eyes lol 😂 (to mock me & make me laugh)...He knows how muchI love gadgets! 🥰 Plus, this one comes with a crisper pan to crisp or reheat dishes, a roasting rack insert to crisp taco shells/ribs/bread evenly, 4qt cook & crisp basket & the reversible rack!!! $CORE!!!
But ya know what? I was NOT feeling the ‘I NEED THIS’ excitement like I did back when it 1st came out. (I saw late night commercials & My Kitchen Gadgets videos & she was cooking up EVERYTHING in her Foodi, which had me $OLD! But, I couldn’t justify the purchase, because I did not want to get rid of my individual dehydrator, air fryers, Nuwave oven, pressure cooker, steamer gadgets that I own & use, but he bought it for me anyway & it was even $50 OFF! 😱 (which expired 8/3)! $ALE? HECKY YEAH!!! Lol (I hate for us having to pay full price for anything! Lol) Sooooo, I guess it was meant for me to have it after all! The best gifts are the ‘just because’ ones!!! 💝
I immediately looked for all the videos I could find & yours was the most eye appealing, professional looking thumbnail & that is what made me choose yours! I also read reviews on Amazon! All this to prepare me for my experimental Ninja dinner today! Love that you showed actual cooking examples, the stacking methods & bands/other accessories that can be used inside! I usually always go for the bigger gadget in case I ever need to cook for family & friends when they visit, but in this case, I actually like the 6.5qt better than the 8qt...if the 8 were wider, then my decision making dilemma would be harder lol. Thanks so much for the comparison! Now, I’m going to binge watch all your Ninja Foodi videos!!! 😍 (I talk a lot when I’m excited! Lol)
I'm just seeing this comment! Congrats on the Foodi and I'm so glad you are enjoying my videos!
I think they mean it heats faster because of the increased wattage with presumable more food quantity because it's the 8qt, however if you have a smaller amount of food the highest wattage will come to Temp faster.
I haven't noticed a difference, but I don't cook a lot with the 8 qt.
I made the chicken stew yesterday and it was so delicious. Thank you. 🤗🤗
Glad you liked it!!
The reason I asked about the 8 quart beer can chicken and I seen it being done in the instapot that's why I was wondering if it could be done in the Ninja foodi thank you I really do enjoy watching you I have learned a lot from you so thank you
I'm sure it can be done in the 8qt Ninja Foodi, but maybe not the 6.5qt. I guess that depends on the height of the beer can holder.
Thanks so much for your work on this video! Really appreciate it!
Thank you!
Interested in a Ninja Foodi. We have instant pots but our biggest is their 6 qt. Interested in the 8 qt ninja foodi. Thank you for video and info. New subscriber and following you on Instagram.
Thank you so much! Amazon had a great price on the 8 qt a few weeks ago. I'm sure it will happen again. If you are on Facebook, join our group facebook.com/groups/1958301147580787/ I always post the best deals I can find and we share a lot of recipes.
macks Smith thanks
I absolutely love your channel I’m so glad I subscribed. Thank you all the way from the U.K. for all the wonderful meals with the Ninja foodi and because of you I purchased one and it’s amazing !
Thank you so much! Congratulations on the Foodi! I know you will love it!
The Salted Pepper Ow I certainly do ! And thanks to you I now can make wonderful meals for my family .
MissCJ Jacobs Thank you!
thank you for this amazing video!
Glad you liked it!
Thank you. I wonder why the 8 qt is the opposite of the 6 qt. Maybe to tell them apart at a glance. Please for your sake turn the 8 qt around so you get in it easier.
Thank you! 🤗
Thank you, you simplified my whole search!
I'm so glad I could help!
I just received the smaller Ninja Foodi as a gift. So glad I came across your channel. Definitely need some tips. New sub to you channel. Thanks for your review 😊
Congratulations! You are going to love it! If you are on Facebook, we have a group that is super helpful. Here is the link if you are interested: facebook.com/groups/1958301147580787/
One way to wrap your mind around bigger is faster (which is NOT always the case) with bigger units u have 1) more air volume and 2) more surface area in the tops, bottoms and sides.
What this means is that there is more Thermal *Mass* (material that is heated) that the food takes its temperature from. so two ovens with the exact same temperature but different volumes, can cook at different rates due to their ability to deliverer More heat before cooling. (Actually the time saved is pretty much just the time that the device takes to get the temp back up to the required temp.)
Its a similar thing u get when boiling or frying foods, when u add unheated food stuff to the liquid it 'Cools Off' the liquid until the heater can bring it back up to temperature. so a BIG pot of oil will lose less heat than a small pot would (or adding a small portion of food vs a large portion to the same sized pot)
Thank you! I've actually done a little testing and have found that during steaming or pressure cooking, it takes longer in the 8 quart. I'm thinking that this is because there is more area that has to be filled with the steam before it triggers either the pressure cooking pin or in the case of steaming, more steam has to be produced to reach the escape valve. Would love your thoughts and any information you want to add, I love learning about how things work! LOL
@@TheSaltedPepper
Your thought were correct. fyi: Steam is 1600x the volume of the water turned to steam (at the time it turns to steam). The pressure goes up from that point at more steam is created. (not to worry abt the thing exploding, the heaters are such they cant cause that much steam to be generated)
One other thing I didn't touch on is that while bigger units can have bigger heaters (or at least more heating ability) that does not mean they will work the same. One reason is that heating elements are cheaper if u buy standard sizes, which may or may not be the correct amount needed for the bigger (or smaller if they go that way) unit. and of course getting it custom built to match the new size would be ideal, however more costly.
Another thing is that IF you double the capacity (like 1.5 ltrt vs 3 ltr) u have actually Quadrupled the surface area where heat is lost (and has to be heated and maintained at that heat to reach a set temperature within those walls of the container). This does not mean u need to have 4x the heat, but it does mean u will need more than just 2x. Its all in the engineering of the thing, Size, shape, materials, insulation, etc. Engineering such things is something I have some experience with (tbh, my headaches from doing that have gotten better, lol)
@@TheSaltedPepper
Also want to thank you for doing your videos and how well you do them. I am considering how to redo my kitchen (want to change up how - and what - I cook) and the Instant pots seem excellent for lack of space/reduction of number of utensils in the kitchen.
So clearly explained. Thanks. Aussie Bob
Thanks so much Bob!
Thanks so much to both you and your Husband. I have the smaller one and use it often. It's great to pressure cooker a bunch of potatoes for Patato Salad as well as the Eggs
I haven't made potato salad yet, but I bet it is easy!
Really enjoyed this demo....fabulous job of comparing the two. Where would I find all of your Foodi recipes?
Thanks so much! You can find my recipes on my website: thesaltedpepper.com
I'm getting the 7.5 ninja deluxe tomorrow Lou. I hope that this one works better than the 6.5 quart . I have to press the buttons twice on mine.
I hope you were able to exchange it!
Thank you so much for this review! My mother wants this for her birthday and I fould the 8 quart on QVC for $219!
Thank you! She is going to love it!

Accessories?
Very informative- thanks! 😀
Glad it was helpful!
If I’m cooking three different things at the same time in the ninja foodie pressure cooker how do I know what to set the timer at
Thank you for doin this 🙏
Hi really like your cooking ur great 👍 thanks
Thank you so much 🙂
Hi thanks for your reply i been watching your cooking. Show is wonderful and my self like cooking for years and years and watching you like and u have a great personality. Thanks again
Just an fyi, I have chooks. The probability of boiled eggs.is actually not about cook.time.or.ice baths but the age of the.egg. if it's super fresh laid, it won't peel well at all. An older egg, a week or more peels perfect. Fresh laid in washed eggs can store on a bench for months also. I have had good eggs up to 3 months.
I have chickens, too. I have pressure cooked their fresh eggs and they peel like a dream. That is not the case on the stove though, they are very hard to peel when they are really fresh.
I saw the fries are nice and crunchy. First, in Canada, they don't give you a crisper basket only the crisper plate. Will that work as well? Second, I have large consumer or fries. What is the largest amount of fries you can cook at one time and still get them crisp?
I have heard the tray works well, but I haven't tried it. I've only done 1 potato cut into fries at a time, so I am not really sure how much you can do. If you put too many in, they might steam instead of crisp. Of course, frozen fries are completely different from fresh and you can put quite a few more frozen in then the fresh.
I love all your videos! I just got a 5 qt foodi. How does the bowl size compare to the 6.5? I'm not concerned about the height as much as the diameter of the bowl. It would help me when ordering accessories.
It’s the same if you use a pressure cooker or you use A Dutch oven the secret to perfect boiled eggs is cold ice water once you finish regardless of what you use it does the same thing
Erika Arevalos maybe if you put the eggs on a rack inside the Dutch oven, it would be very similar except since no pressure is built, the temp is lower and they will take a little longer in the Dutch oven. I’ve boiled plenty of eggs over the years and it is simply amazing how well a pressure cooker works. The ease of peeling even without an ice water bath is unbelievable. If you have a pressure cooker, give them a try once.
Great video! I have seen many of your and other recipes made for 6.5 qt, I have 8qt, do you know how can I convert cooking time and water added? Or is it remains the same for both? THANK YOU!
I just found your channel and I love it. I'm so getting a Foodi 8 qt on QVC, best deal. I have a question, I've seen your videos and your Machine looks very clean, can you show us how you clean it, the air fryer part? Thank you.
I usually just wipe it down with mild soap and water. I have been working on a way to clean the fryer lid and thought I had something, but then I used that solution again and it didn't work. Back to the drawing board!
@@TheSaltedPepper Oh okay, and thank you for your reply. :) Love your channel.
When Configuring multiple hands don’t different foods have different cooking times?
Yes, different foods do have different cooking times, but you can often modify the food by cutting it into certain sizes so that everything cooks at the same time.
Love your videos. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks so much!
Another great video from you, thanks!
Quick question though, did you spray the French fries or just put them in from frozen? And if you don't spray them, does the lack of oil give more of a baked taste? Thanks!
Fresh cut fries do need the oil to be spritzed on, but frozen ones don't need oil (I think they have some in their coating already) and they come out very crispy.
Thanks so much for the review. :)
You are most welcome!
Great video! Just wondering how many people you normally cook for with the 6.5 qt?
