I have many videos on this oven... click this link!!! All my Ninja Foodi XL PRO Air Fry OVEN videos: th-cam.com/play/PLEiaLoJ18qQYZELfQKF-ecJlwQlrm73xz.html
My wife can not cook any more due to a bad back. I am learning. Bought a air fryer like yours and can hardly wait to get started using it. You and your videos are great. You explain everything so well. I live less than 20 miles from the Tabasco factory. And Louisiana hot sauce is made 12 miles from me. I like a little heat and a lot of flavor. Keep the videos coming and I will keep watching.
Hi John, You give the best reviews and your excitement is very contagious. Although I like much more seasoning on my wings, I will GLADLY take those off your hands and put them to good use. 🤣 I’ve checked out the KItchen Aid Air Fryer Oven and it also has the big fan at the back. Thanks for sharing and God Bless 🍃🌺🍃
I plan to look at the kitchenaid closer someday... glad to hear you like my videos and thank you very much for watching them!!! And I did it again... just noticed who this was...lol... I'm bad to read the review and respond without looking too see who made it... happy to hear that especially from you mzbrazell... thanks again!!!
This is the video I've been waiting for, John. As you know, when you first got the Ninja, that was my first question to you, was how does it compare to the Breville....Thank you so much! I'm still watching, so I'll get back after I've finished watching the entire video....You are the best!
@@JohnSanders I ordered my Ninja Foodi XL Pro Air Fryer Oven last night after watching this video. Thanks for helping me make the decision. I have a Ninja Foodi Pressure Cooker and love it, and I know Ninja makes quality products...
I love watching your videos I just bought this Ninja Foodie oven and was so glad you have so much goodness cooked and makes it so easy to do once I watched your video!!! Keep it up
Thank you so much! I just made these in my new ninja. Even without my sauce the taste and texture is fabulous! My family is raving about these. Gone are the days of frozen this is soooo much better. Sanders must be for Colonel 😊
I just moved into a tiny house and been comparing all but kept going back to the Ninja foodie dl201. I'm convinced I am getting it in a couple of days while on sale. Thank you! Love watching your shows!
Just got the ninja XLpro DT251 oven for my birthday and loving it. Keep up the good work John, as your videos are very informative and fantastic to learn from. The Crispy Chicken Wings recipe is a killer lol... love it.
I went ahead and bought one of these and been cooking with it for a week. Its been pretty impressive so far and the food really does taste amazing. I even tossed a couple of frozen pots pies in there tonight on sheet pan and they tasted different than when done in my gas oven, weird but good. Having fun with my Ninja, oh I bought the big cookbook they offer for this thing and it has a lot of good information and recipe ideas. Thanks for the work your doing here on your channel.
I'm so glad you put all those different pans in there.. I can't wait to get mine now. I have everything Ninja, Nuwave, & Kitchenaid.. love them all but mostly excited about this Ninja XL
I own the Breville smart oven that is in this comparison and I love it. As the mom & stepmom of 18 kids all now grown, with 29 grandchildren & step grandchildren, and a lover of Ninja products, I own several thus far, I’m always on the prowl for better. I’m not convinced that the Ninja is better than the Breville. Convince me John Sanders
He was a good one too... we lost both our buddies within a few weeks apart after having them for around 12 years... we miss them dearly but was glad to have had what I said were the 2 best dogs in the world many times...thanks for watching!!!
Chicken wings tomorrow for sure! I hope that sometime in the future you get to host a Ninja Foodi cookout for all the subs! Put all those devices on overtime. Keep up the good work John.
The stove in my house just failed- leaking propane @ 25 years old So, Disconnected and have a new stove on order- 4-8 weeks delivery time. I have been looking at various small ovens to get us thru. Thanks for this review - it really helps!
John, yours is a model # DT201--they have in the pipeline, a model # DT251 that is not on their website yet. The difference is that the Model # DT251 has a temperature probe, and it is $20 more.
Hey John, hi from the Land of Igloos and Polar Bears 🇨🇦, another yummy video. You already had me talked into buying one and this video just put me over the top. Can’t wait to get mine and start cooking some yumminess in it. Stay safe and be careful out there . . As always, thanks for the video and I’m sure I’ll see you in the next one. Kevin🎗
Thank you for considering my info and comment on the kitchenaid, lol that was awesome to see!!! If you decide to make sure its the dual convection one, not shown in the ones you saw at target its a little bigger than those but is smaller than the ninja. Anyways ty again that was great!! 😀
Thanks millions for this detail video. I have the Breville but do not use it for air frying because it is a bear to clean. I am seriously thinking about getting The NInja because of the fan design now. Looking forward to more videos!
My hero! That's exactly how I LOOOOOVE chicken wings. And, being on the Keto diet, this recipe is the best. Sometimes that Buffalo Sauce has added sugars and starches... So I do not use it...
I’m so sorry for your loss John, we lost our little dog Elsie in August, so hard to go through. Really enjoy your videos, we have the flip oven, but watching you has convinced us that we need the Foodi XL Pro. Keep on cooking! 😀
Yeah.. we planted flowers by his grave yesterday and we planted a Christmas tree there about a week ago... we are gonna miss him for sure and so is Copper... glad my videos have been a help and I honestly think you are going to love the XL...Thanks again!!
It’s an interesting time to be shopping for anything Ninja Foodi. Another reviewer reported last week in frustration that she paid $240 at Walmart for a Foodi XL Grill that didn’t have all the same features as the one she had seen advertised. That is what Walmart has done in the past, obtaining feature stripped models so they are free to price lower. At the same time in Sam’s Club the full features XL Grill went up in the stores and the website for $199, which is cheaper than the stripped down version at Walmart. Sam’s also stocked the original version of the Foodi Air Fryer Oven and original Foodi Grill all for the same price. This makes a decision particularly tough for me because they are both models I would like to choose one of, and now they are priced identically.
John great video thank you. I’m curious there is no or little grease inside the Ninja. Where does it go? I’m In market for a air fryer oven I was about to get the Ninja but went with Breville because of reports on Ninja about the letters disappearing. I saw your video on it but there are too many reports out there. Thanks again
John Sanders Another great video. This one definitely looks better than the Kitchenaid. Might be paying for the brand at $159. I’m waiting to see the Amazon Prime Day prices on these. See if I get a good deal. $119 at Target if that was right is a really good price.
I had to go look at the video to see what you were talking about but I don't think that was the right price... in fact they did not have any ninja's in stock... just the display unit...
Enjoy your candid and relevant comparisons. I understand thT Ninja now has a 3rd version of the XL Pro Air Fry Countertop Convection Oven. I get the difference between the Walmart version and the DT201. Do know the difference between the DT201 and the DT251? Thanks, Patrick from Phoenix
You just made me do a 360. I have been looking at and researching these counter top toaster oven air fryers. Before coming to your video, I was totally ready to get the Galanz Air Fryer. Wondering if you have any comments on this verses the Ninja?
Hey John I've been following you for a while now. Learned a lot when it comes to the Ninja Foodi. I made some of the best steaks with the foodi by simply air frying. You should whip up a video on how you would do Ribeyes, or your steak of choice with this. Winter time in Wisconsin doesn't allow for much outdoor grilling. Thank you!!
@@JohnSanders I forgot to mention. I pre-ordered this oven and have only made pizza's. Keep the videos coming because I haven't seen many others with this oven yet. I look forward to all of them!
What are you thoughts on this Ninja compared to the Instant Omni Plus & to the Cuisinart oven AF? I'm looking to get my wife one for Christmas and I'm really torn. Trying to start on the $200-250 range. Love your videos!
In my humble opinion... nothing is better than the Ninja XL PRO Oven when all things are considered...I think it is like adding another oven to your kitchen for a fraction of the cost... but of course it does have to do with what type meals you cook but I will say that I love it!!! Hope this helps and thanks for watching!!!
I want to thank you for another great video...I want to ask did you put the mixture in a bowl then roll the chicken around...hope you know what I mean..lol..
I actually dumped it on top and mix it by hand very thoroughly... and shook it a few times but I will mention it should be rubbed on the chicken very well...thanks for watching!!!
@@JohnSanders I just wanted to say I received my oven on Sunday and the 1st thing I made was chicken legs I made them the way you made your chicken...gotta say me and my family loved them..ty again
In the video you took of the kitchen aid, it did look like there was a fan in the back of the unit there like the ninja. I was thinking the other day that it is probably cheaper (and faster) to cook in my foodi grill machines then in the oven too. I imagine this would be the same too. The oven would be just for the really big things haha :)
You are correct...I wish I had liked closer at the fan in the kitchenaid but I felt a little edgy doing it there...lol... and I think the oven is going to be a great addition to most kitchens...thanks for watching!!!
Chicken looks good. Did you sprinkled or drenched baking powder on the chicken. Sorry, saw my answer in your notes.😊👏 where did you get the bag to cook salmon in?
I can’t find an extra fry basket on Ninja’s website for the DT251. Did you buy one for the 201? The basket they have for sale doesn’t state that it will fit the 251...
I don't do a lot T bone steaks... no good reason I just prefer ribeye most of the time and I would say that in the last couple of years air frying them has been my main method...90% of them...I have a few videos on it and I have said many times I think it is the most convenient and best way to cook steaks... we love them air fried!!! But I still do sous vide and the grill every once in awhile... ain't nothing wrong with those methods either...thanks for watching!!!
Do you have any concern with the controls in the handle and getting constantly bumped each time the door is opened full etc. do the controls operate on Bluetooth to the main unit as i don't see where wires connect from door to main unit
Hey John! Great videos! I’m in Canada and this oven is not yet available anywhere so I was wondering how it compares to the Kitchenaid air fry oven. I have the old ninja oven but it makes looking to upgrade so hope you can compare with the Kitchenaid variant at some point. So far I have not found a review of that on youtube. Thanks so much!
The section of this video where I show the kitchenaid sitting beside the Ninja may be as coir as i get... unless I decide to purchase one... thank you for watching!!!
Many thanks, John. How is smoke? The Cuisinart is quite bad with smoke during airfryer. Is the outside too hot that might damge counter top or cannot put under hanging cabinet? The Cuisinart warns that we cannot put the oven under the hanging cabinet.
This one doesn't smoke bad that I have seen and the manual says it needs 1 inch clearance... it does get fairly hot too the touch on top and sides though...thanks for watching!!!
@@JohnSanders Many thanks, John, you are so nice. So I can put the oven under hanging cabinet with the extra space for the oven. My friend has Cuisinart and she need to put it in her garage because it's too hot and make her wall and hanging cabinet became little brown even she let extra space as direction.
I have mine under my cabinets and have not experienced any problems or issues... however your situation could be different than mine so please make sure you read the manual about clearances etc...I would hate to advise anything unsafe or something that might damage your cabinets... hope this helps and thanks again!!!
You are so informative I'm hoping you can help me. I'm looking for an air-fryer, toaster, convection oven and GRILL....does anyone make this product or would I have to look at this oven and a separate Ninja grill? Thanks for all your help! I am a recent subscriber and think your videos are fantastic! Very professionally done!
I really think the Calphalon cast iron skillet i show in this video...(or something similar) would do a very good job of it... but the grill is a very good device and does get about 60 degrees Fahrenheit hotter... hope this helps and thanks for watching!!!
I really don't remember where the gloves came from...I do love them though...I thinkit may have been target...I love avacado oil and I'm not sure which oil would prevent sticking in that situation but they did do a little sticking... thanks for watching!!!
In the video you state you compare the Breville smart oven Air with the Ninja XL Pro Air but you did not specify how they compared. Can you tell me which you prefer andwhy? I have the Breville but am considering the Ninja because you can do 2 things at once. I was also not impressed with the Air Fry feature of the Breville, it took so much longer than the recipe stated (double the time if I remember correctly).
I definitely prefer the Ninja... the fan design seems to be much better...I have had really good service from the Breville though so I still plan on using it also...thanks for watching!!!
Great video :) can I ask. I am in the UK so the XL ninja isn't here. But I have the mini one and it's a hell to clean. I actually cannot get it clean. I was just looking at swapping for the breville instead. Is the breville easier to clean? Does gunk come off easier compared to the ninja? Thanks!
I have heard that you cannot plug this in to a plug that is below the oven- do you know if true and why. Love your videos! We are looking to purchase this Ninja Foodi 10-in-1 especially after seeing everything you do
Something is off with these ovens as my oven looks like the Brevill after 2nd use. I find the Ninja XL Pro we have in the UK hard to clean and the Sharp edges around the fan sides are brutal. Your oven also shows a fan assembly in front which we don't have on ours. Also, the Temp Probe isn't a thing on the UK model which annoyed the heck out of me when I got it delivered. Very much feel like I have been sold a PUP from Ninja, nothing against you though. I did purchase based on how it worked for you.
So John, after seeing the comparison between you Breville, and The Ninja, I can see you are pumped up about the Ninja. So you would highly recommend it?
There are a good many differences between the ovens and the grill... it would be better to watch videos on each... they are both air fryers but many differences... hope this helps and thanks for watching!!!
Do you still like the Ninja Foodi over your Breville? I am still undecided on which to purchase. I did read a number of reviews that the Breville seems to have steam release during cooking? Did you find that to be true? I have a number of Breville appliances and that was why I was leaning toward it. Any comments would be helpful.
Late to party but I made it here. I look forward to cooking my pecan smoked chicken wings. $10.00 for a bag at Walmart, try them once and you’ll be hooked!!! Just a heads up though, the wings are breaded as well but I love every type of wing, I’m not bias😜😜😜
Hi John, I am new here. I have just watched all your videos on this product. I think. I have been on the fence on an air fryer for a really long time. I have watched 100's of videos the past year or so. They seem cool, but none have appealed to me til now. I have a very limited budget, my microwave broke months ago and my oven won't work right either. So I need something that is multifunctional. It's almost baking season. How well are they for pies, cakes, cookies? Could a teenager work this thing for simple things like frozen snacks? Besides something that'd be to big, what are it's limitations, if any? Can I use glass baking dishes in this? Ceramic coated ductch ovens? Sorry for so many questions but this would be a major purchase for me.
I honestly think that this... or this type product is exactly what you need for the situation you described...I will say I have only had it a couple of weeks so hard to speak on its reliability... but if it is anything like the other ninja products I have it will be very reliable... everything i have done in it has came out excellent... not sure of your exact needs but this would easily replace most people's oven without a doubt... plus way less money to purchase than a traditional oven and should help on power bill... hope this helps and thanks for trusting me enough to ask...I hope all is well and thank you for watching!!!
@@JohnSanders Thank you for your reply I really apprciate it. I am really enjoying you and your channel content. I look forward to more vids on this product because it seems amazing! I am 99.7 sold 🤪
Hello John, I'm new to this appliance and wondering how you would suggest making fried chicken in this Oven? Air roast with the roast tray or air fry in basket above roast tray. I want to make fried chicken breasts in this and it seems like it should be perfect for it.
I like that one too... it is real easy and convenient to just grab them out of the freezer and cook...I use this baking powder salt combination on thighs too... thanks again Joe!!
Hey John - so your verdict is the Ninja Foodi over the Breville? i am assuming so based on your excitement.. :) Im a huge breville fan, and have no Ninja products, so i was looking for a video like this to kind of help me with a decision. I like that there's more room and seems to get less dirty. I am thinking that there's been some advances on tech since the Breville came out...
I do like the Ninja over this Breville... not sure if there has been any changes to the unit since I purchased this one...I still like the Breville just think the fan design and height is better for me on the Ninja...thanks for watching!!!
Lol... you probably could...I can hear me now... prime rib up... turkey sandwich... table 2... wings and fries... table 4...thanks for letting me live that moment...lol... and thank you for watching!!!
I have many videos on this oven... click this link!!! All my Ninja Foodi XL PRO Air Fry OVEN videos: th-cam.com/play/PLEiaLoJ18qQYZELfQKF-ecJlwQlrm73xz.html

Your opinion is top in my books. One of these ovens would be perfect for a tiny house, where they may be missing an oven.
Thank you and you are correct... most people would not need an oven with one of these...thanks for watching!!!
In our case a small oven like this is the answer to cooking in Louisiana summer heat. It does not heat up the whole house like a regular oven does.
It is a wonderful device...thanks for watching!!!
I just moved into a tiny house and been comparing all but kept going back to the Ninja foodie dl201. I'm convinced I am getting it in a couple of days while on sale. Thank you! Love watching your shows!

Your gonna love it!!! Can't wait to hear what you think Jerrl...
Need a review on the June oven
I haven't got one of those yet... it seems a little pricey for most people but it does look neat... thanks for watching
Everyone should get 1 of this
It is a neat device...thanks for watching!!!
What are you thoughts on this Ninja compared to the Instant Omni Plus & to the Cuisinart oven AF? I'm looking to get my wife one for Christmas and I'm really torn. Trying to start on the $200-250 range. Love your videos!
In my humble opinion... nothing is better than the Ninja XL PRO Oven when all things are considered...I think it is like adding another oven to your kitchen for a fraction of the cost... but of course it does have to do with what type meals you cook but I will say that I love it!!! Hope this helps and thanks for watching!!!
Why do you use baking powder
Where do I find a 3x13 pan to fit?
I want to thank you for another great video...I want to ask did you put the mixture in a bowl then roll the chicken around...hope you know what I mean..lol..
I actually dumped it on top and mix it by hand very thoroughly... and shook it a few times but I will mention it should be rubbed on the chicken very well...thanks for watching!!!
@@JohnSanders I just wanted to say I received my oven on Sunday and the 1st thing I made was chicken legs I made them the way you made your chicken...gotta say me and my family loved them..ty again
That is really good to hear... glad I helped... thanks for trying it and sharing your results!!!
In the video you took of the kitchen aid, it did look like there was a fan in the back of the unit there like the ninja. I was thinking the other day that it is probably cheaper (and faster) to cook in my foodi grill machines then in the oven too. I imagine this would be the same too. The oven would be just for the really big things haha :)
You are correct...I wish I had liked closer at the fan in the kitchenaid but I felt a little edgy doing it there...lol... and I think the oven is going to be a great addition to most kitchens...thanks for watching!!!
Those wings look delicious 😋 does the oven goes no higher than 450 r higher
No...450 is as high as the temp on this oven goes... thank you for watching!!!
Does it fit under the cabinets on the counter top?
Yes...
What if you had flipped the wings halfway through fry, maybe that would have stopped to the wings from sticking?
Probably so... and if not for the comparison I would have done them in the basket...thanks for watching!!!
Chicken looks good. Did you sprinkled or drenched baking powder on the chicken. Sorry, saw my answer in your notes.😊👏 where did you get the bag to cook salmon in?
I got the bags at Kroger...I think...lol... they are parchment paper bags... thank you for watching!!!
Thanks John
Hi Jelly! Can you do a beef jerky cook using the ninja 10 in 1 cooker please? Thanks!
I'll go that some thought but I honestly have other machines that do a lot more at a time and jerky does not last long around here...lol
I can’t find an extra fry basket on Ninja’s website for the DT251. Did you buy one for the 201? The basket they have for sale doesn’t state that it will fit the 251...
The ovens are identical except for the temp probe... the racks and baskets are interchangeable...thanks for watching!!!
Have you tried cooking ribeye steak or T bone as well?
I don't do a lot T bone steaks... no good reason I just prefer ribeye most of the time and I would say that in the last couple of years air frying them has been my main method...90% of them...I have a few videos on it and I have said many times I think it is the most convenient and best way to cook steaks... we love them air fried!!! But I still do sous vide and the grill every once in awhile... ain't nothing wrong with those methods either...thanks for watching!!!
I wonder if the lack of splash guard makes the oven quieter
If so I can't tell it...thanks for watching!!!
Goodness gracious where do you put all these kitchen gadgets!💞
Good question...lol... but I'm working on a solution...thanks for watching!!!
Do you have any concern with the controls in the handle and getting constantly bumped each time the door is opened full etc. do the controls operate on Bluetooth to the main unit as i don't see where wires connect from door to main unit
They don't hit in a normal counter top situation ... they extend past the top...I think they have wires...thanks for watching!!!
Hey John! Great videos! I’m in Canada and this oven is not yet available anywhere so I was wondering how it compares to the Kitchenaid air fry oven. I have the old ninja oven but it makes looking to upgrade so hope you can compare with the Kitchenaid variant at some point. So far I have not found a review of that on youtube. Thanks so much!
The section of this video where I show the kitchenaid sitting beside the Ninja may be as coir as i get... unless I decide to purchase one... thank you for watching!!!
I wish I would have bought the one with the probe.
It is nice to have and i do use it every once in awhile...thanks for watching!!!
Many thanks, John. How is smoke? The Cuisinart is quite bad with smoke during airfryer. Is the outside too hot that might damge counter top or cannot put under hanging cabinet? The Cuisinart warns that we cannot put the oven under the hanging cabinet.
This one doesn't smoke bad that I have seen and the manual says it needs 1 inch clearance... it does get fairly hot too the touch on top and sides though...thanks for watching!!!
@@JohnSanders Many thanks, John, you are so nice. So I can put the oven under hanging cabinet with the extra space for the oven. My friend has Cuisinart and she need to put it in her garage because it's too hot and make her wall and hanging cabinet became little brown even she let extra space as direction.
I have mine under my cabinets and have not experienced any problems or issues... however your situation could be different than mine so please make sure you read the manual about clearances etc...I would hate to advise anything unsafe or something that might damage your cabinets... hope this helps and thanks again!!!
@@JohnSandersMany thanks, John.
what about the longevity of the Ninja oven, is it still performing like when it was new?
Yes...
You are so informative I'm hoping you can help me. I'm looking for an air-fryer, toaster, convection oven and GRILL....does anyone make this product or would I have to look at this oven and a separate Ninja grill? Thanks for all your help! I am a recent subscriber and think your videos are fantastic! Very professionally done!
I really think the Calphalon cast iron skillet i show in this video...(or something similar) would do a very good job of it... but the grill is a very good device and does get about 60 degrees Fahrenheit hotter... hope this helps and thanks for watching!!!
@@JohnSanders Thank you for your reply!
@@JohnSanders do you think it’s worth buying the grill pan from Ninja or just stick to a cast iron skillet?
Nothing wrong with either idea... the grill plate might offer more room for getting grill marks...thanks for watching!!!
Is this unit very loud?
You can hear it... nothing any worse than the other larger ones I have...thanks for watching!!!
Where did you purchase the gloves? Also, Avocado oil won’t prevent sticking?
I really don't remember where the gloves came from...I do love them though...I thinkit may have been target...I love avacado oil and I'm not sure which oil would prevent sticking in that situation but they did do a little sticking... thanks for watching!!!
In the video you state you compare the Breville smart oven Air with the Ninja XL Pro Air but you did not specify how they compared. Can you tell me which you prefer andwhy? I have the Breville but am considering the Ninja because you can do 2 things at once. I was also not impressed with the Air Fry feature of the Breville, it took so much longer than the recipe stated (double the time if I remember correctly).
I definitely prefer the Ninja... the fan design seems to be much better...I have had really good service from the Breville though so I still plan on using it also...thanks for watching!!!
Great video :) can I ask. I am in the UK so the XL ninja isn't here. But I have the mini one and it's a hell to clean. I actually cannot get it clean. I was just looking at swapping for the breville instead. Is the breville easier to clean? Does gunk come off easier compared to the ninja? Thanks!
I try to wipe mine down every so often but I wouldn't say one is easier than the other...thanks for watching!!!
Ninja uk, please can you release the new oven in the uk. People want it. :)
I'm not sure if they read my comments but I hope they release it there too...thanks for watching!!!
I have heard that you cannot plug this in to a plug that is below the oven- do you know if true and why. Love your videos! We are looking to purchase this Ninja Foodi 10-in-1 especially after seeing everything you do
I'm not sure... maybe ask ninja kitchen but I think they don't want you to plug it in inside a cabinet but there may be other reasons
Something is off with these ovens as my oven looks like the Brevill after 2nd use. I find the Ninja XL Pro we have in the UK hard to clean and the Sharp edges around the fan sides are brutal. Your oven also shows a fan assembly in front which we don't have on ours. Also, the Temp Probe isn't a thing on the UK model which annoyed the heck out of me when I got it delivered. Very much feel like I have been sold a PUP from Ninja, nothing against you though. I did purchase based on how it worked for you.
So John, after seeing the comparison between you Breville, and The Ninja, I can see you are pumped up about the Ninja. So you would highly recommend it?
I am really excited about it... many options and so far so good... at this time I am...thanks for watching!!!
What is the difference between the New! Ninja Foodi 8-in-1 Digital Air Fry Sheet Pan Oven and the 6-in-1 Foodi XL Grill??
There are a good many differences between the ovens and the grill... it would be better to watch videos on each... they are both air fryers but many differences... hope this helps and thanks for watching!!!
Do you still like the Ninja Foodi over your Breville? I am still undecided on which to purchase. I did read a number of reviews that the Breville seems to have steam release during cooking? Did you find that to be true? I have a number of Breville appliances and that was why I was leaning toward it. Any comments would be helpful.
I still have my Breville in service and will probably still use it but I like the Ninja better at this time without a doubt...thanks for watching!!!
Late to party but I made it here. I look forward to cooking my pecan smoked chicken wings. $10.00 for a bag at Walmart, try them once and you’ll be hooked!!! Just a heads up though, the wings are breaded as well but I love every type of wing, I’m not bias😜😜😜
Hi John, I am new here. I have just watched all your videos on this product. I think.
I have been on the fence on an air fryer for a really long time. I have watched 100's of videos the past year or so. They seem cool, but none have appealed to me til now.
I have a very limited budget, my microwave broke months ago and my oven won't work right either. So I need something that is multifunctional.
It's almost baking season. How well are they for pies, cakes, cookies? Could a teenager work this thing for simple things like frozen snacks?
Besides something that'd be to big, what are it's limitations, if any? Can I use glass baking dishes in this? Ceramic coated ductch ovens? Sorry for so many questions but this would be a major purchase for me.
I honestly think that this... or this type product is exactly what you need for the situation you described...I will say I have only had it a couple of weeks so hard to speak on its reliability... but if it is anything like the other ninja products I have it will be very reliable... everything i have done in it has came out excellent... not sure of your exact needs but this would easily replace most people's oven without a doubt... plus way less money to purchase than a traditional oven and should help on power bill... hope this helps and thanks for trusting me enough to ask...I hope all is well and thank you for watching!!!
@@JohnSanders Thank you for your reply I really apprciate it. I am really enjoying you and your channel content. I look forward to more vids on this product because it seems amazing! I am 99.7 sold 🤪
How to.clean inside of oven
It has been very easy so far... just wipe out with damp towel...thanks for watching!!!
Like your Video 😍 keep it.up
Love to hear that!!!
Hello John, I'm new to this appliance and wondering how you would suggest making fried chicken in this Oven? Air roast with the roast tray or air fry in basket above roast tray. I want to make fried chicken breasts in this and it seems like it should be perfect for it.
Probably your second choice
John
How well does this oven bake frozen bread ? Enjoy your videos very much.
Thank You!
I haven't tried that yet but I'm sure i will...thanks for watching!!!
Jelly just got mines 2 months now
I'm surprised no stains on back , that seems to be the one bad feature others have noticed .
I do wipe it out with damp cloth after cooking sometimes but I have not had any bug problem with that...thanks for watching!!!
Now, if they could just figure out a way to have a pressure cooker in it so we could make steak and smashed potatoes! lol
That would be excellent!!! And I wish they would!!! Thanks for watching Joe!!
@@JohnSanders Because of it's convenience, I'll most likely continue to use your recipe for frozen wings. They come out real good too.
I like that one too... it is real easy and convenient to just grab them out of the freezer and cook...I use this baking powder salt combination on thighs too... thanks again Joe!!
Tip, not good to touch raw chicken and then touch other things (like the baking powder) without washing your hands first.
You can use foil
Hey John - so your verdict is the Ninja Foodi over the Breville? i am assuming so based on your excitement.. :) Im a huge breville fan, and have no Ninja products, so i was looking for a video like this to kind of help me with a decision. I like that there's more room and seems to get less dirty. I am thinking that there's been some advances on tech since the Breville came out...
I do like the Ninja over this Breville... not sure if there has been any changes to the unit since I purchased this one...I still like the Breville just think the fan design and height is better for me on the Ninja...thanks for watching!!!
My god it is huge you could run a restaurant with it.
Lol... you probably could...I can hear me now... prime rib up... turkey sandwich... table 2... wings and fries... table 4...thanks for letting me live that moment...lol... and thank you for watching!!!
John Sanders I would come to that restaurant.😋
Spicy wings tossed in Chinese chili flake sauce will be next!
