*I like that I can "fry" something on a whim! An oil fryer takes so much more time to clean and prepare **MyBest.Kitchen** a chore which usually kept me from frying all together.

Hi Philip, I am a new subscriber I am a 72 year old Filipina living here in Florida. I enjoy watching your videos, as a matter of fact I used your recipe for chocolate chip cookies, and you are absolutely right, it's the best chocolate chip cookies!! My husband loves it. I will be looking forward for more delicious food done in your new kitchen gadget. Keep up the great job you are doing, stay safe and God bless...
Hi Virginia! Thank you so much for taking the time to watch my videos and leave such a thoughtful comment. It really did make my day when I read it yesterday. I hope youre safe out there as well. Thank you so much again! Aloha!
This video was fun to watch. You are genuine. I love that you show your personality and didn’t edit out when you mispronounced something. Great job. And I am now leaning toward this model even though I had my mind made up on a competitor’s unit.
I bought one of these and am waiting for it to arrive. You killed it on this video. I am a huge Ninja and Shark fan and will look forward to watching more of your videos on new products.
Thank you for this! I’m researching appliances now as we’re planning on doing a bus conversion build. My husband wants to go electric with everything to avoid having propane and I’m trying to find the best option for a convection oven/air fryer. Cooking a small turkey has been my biggest question with every model I look at. This just sealed the deal for me :)
It’s fine to make pizza directly on the sheet pan, DO NOT place the pan on a lower rack with the pizza on a wire rack above it because that will just block the heat and the pizza won’t cook so evenly. Butter the pan or smear with olive oil for extra flavor and better baking results. Also (on page 14) the instruction manual actually RECOMMENDS either greasing accessories with butter or oil or covering with either parchment paper OR aluminum foil, just do not cover the roast tray.
The best review! Thank you os much from Israel! Nobody mentions of this oven is good for bred, not even Ninja itself! I tested and I can say: this is the best oven for all kinds of breads I ever had!
I just got that gonna try it for the first time today 🤩 steaks marinating as we speak 1 month later Update: omg I’m obsessed! I’ve fried, reheated, defrosted, baked food and a cake, two racks… Yasss. Lol literally all you can need. 100 recommend. Just make sure you stick to the recommended oil to avoid oil burning and smoking … it’s awesome
Thanks for sharing! I've seen a lot of reviews on the Ninja as well as the Breville convection smart oven. However, I am leaning towards purchasing the the Ninja.
After looking at so many other air fryers, I think I'm going to put the trigger on this on. Thanks for your review. All air fryers make more noise, and this one seems the same. I like that the trays are more like a real oven, and not cheaply made like many others. I guess you kinda get what you pay for.
I just got my Ninja Foodi XL Pro today and cooked a frozen pizza for lunch and pork chops for dinner and I DID NOT even notice the fan but I have a regular size convection oven and the fan is very noisy, so the ninja fan must be quieter. This is a great video. TFS.
Best review I’ve watched. Very thorough and informative. I want one! Forwarding this video to my husband! Early Merry Christmas to me! I want this for thanksgiving! Thank you Phillip! Where’s the discount code so I can get one for a gift to family?
Dag Nabbit!!!! We got a Ninja Foodi Deluxe 6 months ago!!!! How can I justify getting this to my wife!! Please help!! hehe. no really! Help! OH and great thorough review! (where a Ninja family we have the Coffee Bar, Ninja Mega Kitchen Blender, Shark Vacuum and Ninja Foodi XL) Love all there stuff.
Wow that AirFryer is dope! The way you tossed the book was so hilarious 😂. I think it's time for me to upgrade my a/f though because this Ninja is a beauty😍. Excellent review👍🏾👍🏾
I have one of these and love it but there are some things I found difficult. First I need to know how to use only the top or bottom heaters and the instructions do not really give that kind of information. The fan causes problems with baking some breads because it is always on which results in one side or end of the bread drying out quicker than the other side. I would have really liked to have full details on the various functions. Air frying is the only setting that does not really need any details but I would exactly what the grill function is and how it works. Or roast versus whole roast cooking in real detail. Trial and error works great but is very time-consuming. I am still learning how to get my bread bake better. The video was well-made and very informative and I would really like to see a follow-up after he has used it for a year or more.
BTW - the DT251 with the thermometer is no longer available. Ninja seems to have removed it for sale everywhere. Makes me wonder if it has some recall issues.
I think it is sold out. It was on Amazon this morning as a lightning deal and sold out in like 15 minutes! Now I can't seem to find it anywhere as well.
Same here. I only use for toast, bagels, and sometimes frozen chicken nuggets for the grandkids. My Ninja 5 in 1 grill though...excellent! And easy to clean.
This device looks great! like i wann use it in the summer when the oven makes the kitchen too hot. but whew chile idk if i get the counter space for this beast lol
Hi! This is a really nice review. Just wanted to ask, is it totally safe to put aluminum foil in the trays? That’s how we usually do it with our (very) old traditional oven 😅 Thanks!
We've got this unit and it's amazing. 9:20 for the wings, that's usually how we do them. We're thinking about buying another air fry basket though so both sets get just as crispy.
You saved me time I was within nano seconds of buying this unit but this unit is too tall for my counter space I only have 12inches height and this unit is 13in WHEW... sure I could have gotten refunded but time cannot be replaced. Darnit too bad I really like this unit. Time to build me a house ayeee?
Save your money . Get the DT201 and purchase a digital temp. gauge with wire probe. Oxo has a good one, has lasted me for years so far. Plus I use it in my conventional oven and BBQ outside.
@@PhilipLemoine I heard of a story in which someone bought fried chicken from a Shoprite supermarket, but when they went to reheat the chicken in the oven, the oil from the chicken began to smoke very badly with a pool of oil at the bottom of the oven. Even when that bottom pieces was removed and the oven cleaned thoroughly, spots of oil surfaced on or around the heat bars, which caused the oven to smoke up badly again when the person tried to toast two slices of bread. This is why I wanted to know if, since you are testing this machine, if you could perform the same task and report on it with honest feedback from your testing this oven.
I'm thinking of picking this unit up very soon, but wondering if the case gets hot when its in the cooking process or does it remain warm. I had a prvious Cuisinart oven that remained cool to the touch during the cooking process and I also had a PC Compliments toaster over that got too hot to touch...
I appreciate your video with all this information. We just got our Ninja Foodi XL on Sunday but haven't used it yet which is why I was watching your video to try to learn all about it. I do have one little comments I'd like to add, with all respect. I have a hearing disability and while I wear hearing aids and can hear your video, the one thing that has always bugged me when watching videos is when people put music in the background. It is SOOOO annoying and distracting to the narrative being offered. I tuned in to your video because I wanted to hear what YOU had to say about this Ninja - I didn't want to listen to music. Oftentimes the audio isn't as clear as it could be and when there's music in the background, it takes away from the presentation. Other than that, thank you for posting the video....it was very helpful.
Foil on the crumb tray is not recommended, but what about silicone oven liners? That would help with the cleanup and would be a great help if they are safe.
Would a 15x10 inch lasagna pan fit in this? 15" long x 10" across. Thanks for the info. I am looking at one of these and wondering how big of pan will fit inside this.
Hey Phillip, do you know if you can stack one of these ovens on top of another (i.e., I want to use 2 of them for baking my macarons that I sell & wonder if I can put one on top of the other)?
Hi, Philippe, o bought this machine. I just found when I bake the cake or duck fat pastry, I followed the receipt, the temperature and the bake time, but the products seem not good. I don’t know why.

You should! I just brought mine it’s so good
Another great video Philippe. Solid review , very informative. Keep up the great work.
Thanks buddy!
How did you get the oven clean? That's what every owner of this oven wants to know!

The chocolate chip cookie recipe is really good.
We have the smaller oven and love it. Excited for more capacity!
Have you cooked a pizza in it? Im wondering if the bottom came out crispy in your oven.
@@PhilipLemoine yes definitely crispy. We cook them on the air fryer basket!
@@PhilipLemoine I saw it at Walmart on display. Didn't like how flat it was.
10 seconds into the vid. the vibe was professional and silky, subbie ❤️
Had to put it on 1.5. you taking your sweet time lol
Can you use an aftermarket thermometer? And if so do you lose any heat with the cord between the oven door? And does Ninja recommend?
I got one for my wife and I wow very impressed. Your video made it a no brainer. Happy new year
Sounds like a jet engine spooling up when you close the door! I kinda like the sound.
Hahaha it does! I do too! This was also on the Air Fry cooking function which is their highest convection fan speed setting.
Awesome review
Thanks AJ!
Keep up the awesome work. That prime rib looked tasty .
yees finally a new video 😍😍
Sorry! I been slackin! I got a great cooking one coming this week too!!

Same here. I only use for toast, bagels, and sometimes frozen chicken nuggets for the grandkids. My Ninja 5 in 1 grill though...excellent! And easy to clean.
Do you use the same temperature for baking in the ninja oven compared to a regular oven?
This device looks great! like i wann use it in the summer when the oven makes the kitchen too hot. but whew chile idk if i get the counter space for this beast lol
Great video👍
I thought a jet plane was landing in your kitchen - when you opened the oven door.
lol
It's no louder than the ancient OTR microwave we have. I can't hear my spouse talking in in there with me.
Sine electricity price is increasing we are looking for alternative traditional oven. Thank you for review
Just got one .how long would i cook ch8cken drumsticks and tempature .
How well is it if you're just constantly baking? My mother seems to always make her own bread or conchas for our family and it's delicious.
Will it fit a duck for roasting?
Very good description of this product you made me want to get one
Where is the link to those awesome looking chocolate chip cookies?
Hi! This is a really nice review. Just wanted to ask, is it totally safe to put aluminum foil in the trays? That’s how we usually do it with our (very) old traditional oven 😅 Thanks!
Thank you. At 7:35 I talk about the foil.
@@PhilipLemoine oooh there. yikes! haha thanks!
Can you use parchment paper in the oven?

It was a Safeway Select Brand pizza. Thank you!

What brand of pizza did you cook? That looks great 👍
I just bought this. I am interested in learning how to use it.
You never really covered the smart temp feature of the DT251, as opposed to the DT201 without it.
Save your money . Get the DT201 and purchase a digital temp. gauge with wire probe. Oxo has a good one, has lasted me for years so far. Plus I use it in my conventional oven and BBQ outside.
Very good video nice and simple and very professional. It looks like you work at the Ninja headquarters or like your the CEO of Ninja.
what are the trays made of i want to avoid PFAs no teflon or other non stick.
Can you reheat fried chicken purchased already deep fried from your local grocery store and tell me how this oven performs?
I have done this with many fried things bought from the store and it doe amazing!!! I love to air fry to reheat and it come out so damn crispy!

Is there any " plastic' smell to it? great video.
No plastic smell at all! I don't think there are any plastic parts nor non stick coatings on/in this oven.
Can the fan be turned off?
Can this bake a cake or pie?
I have seen others bake cakes in a regular 9x13
The reheat feature , can you use this to reheat food like in a microwave? Say milk for cereal? Thank you
I'm thinking of picking this unit up very soon, but wondering if the case gets hot when its in the cooking process or does it remain warm. I had a prvious Cuisinart oven that remained cool to the touch during the cooking process and I also had a PC Compliments toaster over that got too hot to touch...
This is the second video, I’ve watched whilst doing some research on this oven where the music in the background is far too loud
Can I replace my microwave with this?
Can it be used as a simple microwave? Just want to reheat my coffee too many times
Hi do you know what is the interior material of the oven? Thanks :)
Is this big enough too cook a large turkey?
Is this dual voltage ?
where did the prob come from???
Doesn't have a crumb/oil drip slide-out tray.
Whereas, the Breville smart oven does.
Mine has a crumb tray!
I bought it 2 weeks ago. I like it but it kept triggering my fire alarm.Not all the time but 3 times now.

Never place a sheet pan under what your cooking in a oven in general it will make a uneven air pocket and the crust won’t cook well
What function can I cook pies and sausage in
Hey, you were the person doing the support videos on the Ninja Foodi Pro Air Oven.
its me!
@@PhilipLemoine, You replied!
Is the Pizza function for making pizza from scratch….reheat pizza on the reheat function?
Très intéressant j’espère avoir beaucoup de conseils
Foil on the crumb tray is not recommended, but what about silicone oven liners? That would help with the cleanup and would be a great help if they are safe.

There is no such a big household convection oven in Japan. I envy you very much.
I wish I lived in Japan! I envy you! Nihongo o benkyō shite imasu!
@@PhilipLemoine Wow! Arigatou gozaimasu!
I also study english :)
Was that a thermometer on the roast? Is that accessory included?
On the DT251, yes. On the DT 201, no.

Did the oven smoke any time you were using it?
Is it recommended to have something under the oven to protect counters, specifically quartz counters?
No
Thanks for your video bro, i have a question, do you know if you can change from Farenheit to Celcius?
Hi, Philippe, o bought this machine. I just found when I bake the cake or duck fat pastry, I followed the receipt, the temperature and the bake time, but the products seem not good. I don’t know why.
i did bye one but did not came with no cook book like you got. how do i get one?
Are there two 10 in 1 ovens? One oven and one Air Fryer? Or is it one and the same? Thanks
Hmmm.... sounds great! I wonder if the inside liner is teflon coated? I have a large 40 year old parrot and as most know teflon kills parrots.
What is the brand of frozen cookies you featured?
I made them. The recipe is on my channel
Fan is only that loud when it's ramping up at first. It goes to a quieter speed when it's just maintaining a temperature.
You said you can't cover anything in aluminum foil. Does that include baking things in aluminum foil, like pies or other kinds of foil pans?
