Just got this on sale .

Didn’t want to buy anything too crazy yet till I learn my way around .

Any tips ?

I mean...it's nothing new, just different.

It cooks.

My only advice would be not to buy a bunch of frozen prepared foods like pizza rolls, fries, and shyt. Start with cooking raw chicken, breasts, thighs, salmon, steaks. Then learning how to do vegetables. That'll be where it shines.

It's too simple to do 8 boneless chicken thighs with whatever seasonings you like, then cook a lot of rice, and have meals for a couple of days.

If you fall into the trap of just heating up frozen prepared snacks and shyt it'll get old and probably end up collecting dust even though it's a better alternative than the microwave and not as time consuming and such as using the stove/oven.

I don’t really eat frozen meals I like fresh food .

I know it’s easy to fall into that trap so I’m not saying I’m above it .

I got the air fryer to make my meal preps easier .

Really just eat the same things weekly . Wanted soemthing for cooking chicken thighs and I make tuna cakes as well . I wanted less oil especially with those tuna cakes they are good but with the deep frying makes them less healthy if you get my drift .

Air fried asparagus guys I love this thing already .

I took y’all advice and def pre heat and it was easy peasy !!!

Next week I’ll make my tuna cakes and update y’all .

Cooked wings over the weekend. I’ve been using baking powder to get ‘em crispy. But it’s not all the way there yet, still gotta experiment more.

According to Google/Best Buy...it's fine...just make sure it's set to seal

It’s fine. Just make sure it’s all the way in the seal position. The only time I’ve seen it become an issue is when I use the sauté feature then switch to pressure. Sometimes it starts letting a lot of steam out, gives me a Water error and stop cooking. I just started browning stuff on the stove and then transferring to the Foodi for pressure cooking. Less heartache that way

Take it back or send it back with the warranty from the website and buy an instant pot.

Why you saying that??

 

[Wildin]

Why you saying that??

Because what you just described. Is exactly what an instant pot is/does and is designed for. No need to get a separate piece of equipment that does what you want it to do, especially if it does a poor job. Buy once, cry once. A jack of all trades is a master of none.

You fukk around with the ninja with 90 features only 1 is going to be great, 50 will be ok, and 39 will be poor.

That's what a Ninja Foodi is designed for tho. And it did stop letting out steam.

Yes the ninja foodie pressure cooker is a pressure cooker but it also has the tender crisp/air fryer lid.

There is even a lid for instant pots that have an air fryer/tender crisp. They are 2 different things.
And trying to cram them all in one doesn't really work. Ideally you want a pressure cooker and an air fryer. Plenty of side by side comparisons of the pressure cooker air fryers vs a standalone air fryer show a stand alone air fryer air frys better.

If you want a pressure cooker I say instant pot and air fryer I say ninja. These combo units don't always work the best.

My foodie doesn't have the separate lid it has the smart lid. But I understand what you are trying to say with the many features instead of just one.

Back in the day it was a separate attachment or an upgrade you can buy. Now they do it all in one.
Maybe tech will change. And I understand the convenience of having one machine that takes the place of multiple.
