Ninja 4-Quart Air Fryer, AF100 Reviews

I love love love this air fryer I have used it every single day since I got it it is so easy to use and operate the only downside is if you have a bigger family you can only fit so many food items in at one time other than that it is amazing and works miracles!!!

This has been the best cooking tool yet. I was hesitant to buy it at first but I am so glad I did! Extremely easy to use and makes food delicious! You can buy them cheaper but this has additional features such as roasting that others might now have. The only down side is it is fairly large and I like to keep it out on the counter due to frequent use and accessibility.

This unit is pretty much an all kitchen appliances in one unit. It is killer to be able to air fry, roast reheat and dehydrate all in one device. This thing is so simple to use, and cleanup can be done in a flash. The recipes, dishes, and variety of things that can be cooked with this are amazing. FRom apples to ribs! I really like that I can use the reheat option and the food taste the same as it did the night before.

This Ninja Air Fryer uses different cooking settings to accommodate many different fried or baked foods. I can choose from a digital display, and I can fry, cook, or even bake some of my favorite foods. But really, cooking without the worry of oil saves me time and effort. Opposed to my old deep fryer, the Ninja with circulating hot air seems to make food seem crispier. When It first arrived, I thought I'll start with potatoes. I used some gold potatoes I had at home for baking and cut them into identical sized French fries, soaked them in water for 30 minutes before air frying, sprayed the basket with cooking spray, placed the soaked potatoes in the air fryer and 22 minutes later had the best French fries I've tasted. Then, I decided to try some cheese sticks but I added a little salt, again sprayed the basket and cooked them, they also came out delicious. So far, I have enjoyed everything I've cooked in it. One of the issues I think people have is they still feel they need to add a lot of oil but you don't, I don't use any except to spray the basket. I hope this helps anyone thinking about purchasing a Ninja, I will now focus on other ideas to cook.

I like fried food which I know are not good for me. I thought I'd give this a try. I first tried some frozen french fries. They were the shoe string type. I followed the directions warm up to 390 degrees for 3 min. I rolled them around in a little oil. I selected air fry for a 10-13 min. per directions. I may have used the wrong brand or type after 5 or so min. they began to turn into dark brown potato chips. I then tried some breaded fish fillets. That time I watched as they cooked. I put in the fish first and after a couple min. I added some fries and continued cooking. The food came out ok but nothing special. The cook time seems a lot less then the manual suggested. I did notice the store bought fish breading I used was made with cornmeal,pepper and spices. The air frying really seems to bring out the flavors of the spices and fish more so than my usual deep frying. I haven't tried anything to big like a beef roast yet. This appliance seems to cook like a convection oven blasting hot air around the food. I think I like the traditional deep or pan frying food rather than air frying.

I received a Ninja Air Fryer AF100 series from the spark reviewer program. You can use it to air frying not using oil to fry, roast, reheat or dehydrate with it. Get a pair of silicone tipped tongs. That is what is recommended to use with it. this is a fast way to cook foods. It is a hot air that circulates around the food so you don't need oil for frying but get crispy foods .It has a 4 quart ceramic coated basket that holds up to 2 lbs. of French fries. This gets very hot so you should always use oven mitts or hot pads. Because all the surfaces are so hot never allow children near it while it is in use, and always have it in a well ventilated area while it is in use. There are some recipes and cooking charts in the quick start guide that comes with it But you can go to ninjakitchen.com for more recipes. It will be fun trying new more healthy foods with out the oils. My sister has one and loves it. She uses hers all the time and recommended I get one. Its a great way to fry without all the oil you just need to be careful

Ninja Air Fryer AF100. I got my new Air Fryer from Ninja, and I can say that it is amazing, I'm from Venezuela and we love to make all our traditional fried food, like tequenos and empanadas. We haven't made any of this food for a while, because was needed to use a pan full of oil to deep fry them, but now with the air fryer we only must use a spoon of oil. Taste is amazing on everything we make, crunchy outside and soft and juice inside. Some other amazing things are. Controls: it has a digital screen with automatic setups, you can also control temperature and cook time. Size: it has the perfect size, fits perfect on my countertop, not like the old fryers that where very big, this one is tall but narrow, also the inside is big enough to accommodate all the food you want to cook. Look: it a beautiful and modern design, looks amazing in my kitchen, I have it always in my countertop ready to be used. Clean: it is super easy to clean, nothing gets stick on it, just a little bit of soap and that's it. Smell: Finally, I can cook fish inside my house without having the terrible smell of fry fish. Cons. Unfraternally not everything can be perfect, but I have only one negative comment about this fryer, and it is that everything you cook needs to be constantly flip to be sure it cooks even, also if you are cooking big pieces you can not overlap them, you need to put them separate, But in general, we are very happy with this fryer and we recommend it 100%

I've seen air fryers advertised and wondered, “just how well can they really work?” Well, I've had my opportunity to use it and the answer is, “they sure do a great job of cooking chicken.” I have so much to learn still about the Ninja Air Fryer because it does so much (reheating, baking, frying, roasting). The first item I cooked was bone-in chicken breast. It looked amazing. After cutting through, I added another 10 min (these were two thicker portions -so roughly 40 min total). The chicken tasted delicious. I then tried fries (became too crisp so I have to work on that bc I must have done something wrong) and reheated salmon (User error -I put too much time in and over cooked it). The photos show the chicken I cooked the first time I used the Ninja. I can't wait to learn other great ways to easily make and reheat meals in a healthy way. And, by the way, clean up is easy (although not dishwasher safe).

I'm very happy with this Ninja Air Fryer, it works exactly as advertised, and is a beautiful glossy grey that pops in my orange kitchen. If you have never air fryed, prepare to be blown away; crispiest fries, juiciest hot dogs, steaks and burgers. We eat less fast food now, never use the big oven, saving money, and it's so easy and the results are so tasty and satisfying, with minimum effort. The wattage is 1500, Ninja recommends a 3 min preheat before cooking, but I've just straight up cooked without the preheat and had fantastic results. This air fryer has the outer basket only, no inner basket, so no trigger lock to pull the basket out of the unit. It also has a pause button to pause cooking so you can remove the basket and shake or flip your food for more even cooking. The display is bright, easy to read and problem free. Instead of an inner basket you have a ceramic coated inner basket and a “crisper tray” insert with air holes that you put in and take out as needed. I find smaller foods like French fries and cut veggies will get stuck in the tray's handle area in the center, making them hard to flip during cooking or remove BUT I solved this by using the same round parchment papers with holes that I use in my other air fryer, it covers the indentation and also helps with clean up. Foods don't stick to this unit, clean-up is easy. The capacity is 4 quart so it's perfect for a smaller family, or in my case, doing sides or deserts while I'm doing main entrees in my other air fryer. Using this has really been fun, and it is saving me money by not heating up the house and making the AC run even longer. I LOVE this air fryer, one of the few models on the market without Teflon, and it comes with a year warranty. Really no complaints at all, nothing but love and great tasting food over here!

The Ninja Air Fryer is a handy tool to: air fry, roast, reheat, and dehydrate. It is a four quart capacity and is easy to clean. To use the air fryer you need to do some prep first: the first step is to preheat the cooker for three minutes, the second step is to use the crisper plate each and every time, and shake or toss the food while cooking. Included is a recipe guide, and instruction booklet.
