Our Ninja Foodi Max DualAir Fryer with Probe:
We have had our Ninja Foodi Max for around four months now, we use it nearly every day. It’s super efficient, makes food very crisp and most importantly, is really easy to clean.
We now don’t deep fry at all, as the design of the Ninja Foodi means that both dry and wet batters can be air fried. It has a multitude of settings, but the most common ones for us are max crisp, which is great for things like chips and chicken wings, or air fry - which is very good for everything else. The drawers are large and can take enough cargo to cook for a family of four.
We really recommend investing in a Ninja air fryer, they stand out head and shoulders against competitors like the Phillips range (we had one previously). Air frying is cheaper and healthier than deep frying and you don’t have a ton of old oil to try and dispose somewhere.
