Ninja Foodi Review

I received a Ninja Foodi for the Holidays.  Have been using it for about one month. It is a very impressive kitchen gadget.

Started out  cooking with the Airfryer. First thing I made was Mac and Cheese. An American Favorite food. Everyone love Mac and Cheese made the old fashion way, like Granny/Mom made in the 60's. the kind that is  basic noodles and cheese sauce done on stove top.Then breaded and baked in the oven. That crunchy top was the Bomb! So I made the noodles in the Pressure Cooker Cycle, then added the ingredients for the cheese mixture. Put the bread crumbs on top and AirFried it. Wow it did taste like the Old Days Mac and Cheese.

Next I tried the Airfryer for Frozen Beer Battered Fish. I was amazed! the fish was crispy on both sides and flaky fish inside. Even better then in the Oven. Which I never could get both sides crisp in the Traditional Oven. I started use the Airfryer as a finisher of my meals. To put the  pan sear  or oven baked touch on.

Now to the Bake/ Roast Cycle.  Used it to make a Pulled Pork Barbecue.  I use to sear the Roast on the Stove top. But this time I used the Sear/ Broil cycle to  brown the roast.  The temp was just right, it did a fabulous job searing the meat. I then switched it over to Bake/Roast and completed the dish. The meat turn our great.

Recently my famous NewYork Cheesecake was made in the Foodi. For this recipe the Bake/Roast cycle was use and then the Pressure cook cycle. Now this Cheesecake has a flour base, cookie like crust. So, before when I tried to make it in a Pressure cooker the Crust was not cooked and soggy. In the Foodi I use the bake cycle for the beginning to cook the crust. It cooked the crust great. the original recipe call for a high temp cook to start and then you turn down the heat. So, I did the bake first at 375°F and then Pressure cooked ( like a water Bath intensified ). The topping in the recipe is put on last the the temp turn up in the oven. For that process I used the bake cycle again.  Wow!! That Cheesecake turn out so delicious. Even better then the oven. I will be making that  a lot!!

In conclusion This Ninja Foodi will stay on my counter to be used alot. For Recipes to use in the Ninja visit my Kitchen Blog. There I have been posting the Recipes I have create for the Ninja Foodi.

I would give the Ninjafoodi a Five Star Rating, best ever Kitchen All Purpose Gadget!!!
