Wonderful glass Air fryer with a 6 or 2.5 quart container.
I LOVE THIS beautiful air fryer from Ninja. It comes with 2 size containers: 6 and 2.5 quart sizes. (A 4 quart container is available separately as an optional purchase.) The glass containers come with permanently attached handles, removable metal crisping plates and snap on lids. When the container is hot, instructions caution you to use protection, but I was able to carefully take the container out. You are supposed to stir/shake about every 5 minutes, and I was impressed that the build of the container and handle seemed rock solid as I shook the containers. I like that there are no harmful chemicals in the surfaces that contact food. It is such a convenience to be able to see the food at all times. Construction is like a luxury car: everything fits tightly but not too tight. All surfaces are beautiful. The glass can go from frozen cold to hot. The literature doesn't specify borosilicate glass, so I would be careful going from hot to cold. The instructions say let the container cool down before washing or putting into water. There are 6 heating functions: dehydrate (195 degrees F), bake/proof (the minimum proof temp is not specified), max crisp, air fry, roast and recrisp. All controls are from the front panel on top. You can set time, temp, mode and on/off easily. The controls are so easy and intuitive you only need the manual to tell you what exactly the different modes do. When you use the fryer and want to stir the food in the middle of your cook, you just pull the container out. (The manufacturer says to use gloves, but I found the handles large enough that I didn't.) Once you pull the container out the unit instantly stops. After stirring or shaking your food, slide it back in and it will start right where you left of. The timer doesn't count the time you had the container out of the unit. Like all air fryers, capacity is limited to make servings for up to about 4 people for main dishes. I tried it on making a chick-pea snack in the small container; it came out crispy and delicious. I also tried making ribs --using a 1/2 rack of baby back ribs for my wife and I it used about 1/2 of the capacity of the 6 quart container. They were great! I made roasted red peppers--in the past I have tried making these on the grill and under the broiler. MAKING THE ROASTED RED PEPPERS IN THE AIR FRYER WAS THE EASIEST METHOD EVER...AND ALONE JUSTIFIES THE MACHINE! Most other methods involve so much turning to roast all sides, but this air fryer roasts all sides at once, so you turn much less. They were so evenly roasted, and the bonus was you could see the state of cooking through the glass! I also tried roasted carrots --again delicious and easy. The surprise to me is THE GLASS CONTAINERS LET YOU SEE EVERYTHING AS IT HAPPENS, MAKING ADJUSTMENTS EASIER.The other surprise is cleanup is easy: I was surprised that the oil I put on the food hardly splatters on the glass. If I were making the same food in a sheet pan, as the food cooks, the pan gets baked on grease spots that require so much scrubbing to get off. And then the splatters in the oven build up, etc. etc. More work than I want. After letting the glass cool, you just rinse everything off then only scrub a little bit. Then the containers and crisper inserts go right into the dishwasher. This is probably one of the more expensive air fryers --but having GLASS MAKES ALL THE DIFFERENCE.Ver másVer menos
