I have come back to say overall this is my favorite ninja appliance ever. Just white rice turns out so better than either instant pot or the foodi smart lid. It can fit a personal pizza, and it actually crisps the bottom. And after you do a combi meal you wipe the stainless steel walls right off and when you close the door the unit will dry itself off for a couple minutes by circulating the fan. And seeing the food cook through the window is *chefs kiss*

How do you clean the top of the inside?

@TheOnlyChrisB

6 ай бұрын

Yes since owning the oven i noticed the top is difficult to clean like most ninja products. Not as bad as my ninja grill but not as easy as the smart lid foodi. To clean the combi i use the steam setting for a few minutes. The hack i found is i bought a small blender cleaning brush that fits close to the fan blades. Sometimes i scrub with a little dawn soap, then i wipe down with a towel. Then steam setting for another couple minutes and dry with a towel. If you want it super dry use the air fry setting for about a minute or two after youre done. It sounds crazy but its not… maybe 60 seconds of scrubbing 10 minutes in total clean time (steam/air fry). To me the ninja grill is the the best air fryer, the ninja foodi is make soups/bone broth/ribs but overall the ninja combi does many things extremely well imo.

GREAT review. I had this in my cart as I was watching this, but then I realized I have two other Ninja appliances that already do this, so I refrained, even though it was on sale for a GREAT price. Thanks for this.

So that’s an interesting perspective bc I took a chance and got the combi when it first came out (no reviews available) and while I love love it, I def think it’s better suited for a family of 4-6 over one person. I use it mostly to meal prep for lunch bc then I can make a huge batch of food at once. I guess it depends on how many servings you are looking for but I def think it is intended for larger families then single people.

Usually in a bolognese you would do a fine dice on the vegetables, so you’d have a more consistent sized sauce. I’m guessing after 4 hours a lot of the liquid would cook away. Cream is commonly added near the end of cooking a bolognese, so since you’re adding it at the beginning milk makes some sense. I think they have you sauté the tomato paste to develop the flavor of the paste. Whole tomatoes are often a higher quality product than diced. I like to only use tomato paste in a bolognese- the meat is the star.

That was my first thought when I saw him adding the veggies... I normally food process them.

I've used milk or heavy cream in a lasagna soup before. It turned out really good. It had hot Italian sausage, vegetable stock, garlic, Italian seasoning, a can of diced tomatoes, a jar of marinara sauce, a little cream, ricotta cheese, broken up lasagna noodles and some fresh mozzarella. The cream kind of mellowed out the citrus from the tomatoes making it more of a comfort food.

Steak was about the same as Combi Meal setting. Seems like it uses more of the air fryer function. I also asked the same question on Ninja’s YT channel and they didn’t recomment using the Combi Crisp for combi meals. I would say following their instructions yield better results.

@@TheAverageKitchen ohh I'm sry, i meant Multifunction oven Foodi 10 in 1 XL. I have very small kitchen and I don't want standard kitchen oven (it takes 2 much space). Soo I'm in search for alternative. Is it better this Ninja Combi or Ninja Foodi 10 in 1 XL? Planning to make simple meals for 1- 3 persons.

So far, just wipes out. Marc

The ninja pressure cooker steam fryer with smart lid can literally do any type of cooking including "speedi meals". You can literally copy the speedi meal recipes with the steam fry function. However, the ninja speedi cant pressure cook. The combi cooker, while similar to the speedi, cant sauté or slow cook. Why would anybody want these lesser cookers.

Great point, I have the smart lid, use it all the time. It’s roughly twice the price of the Speedi and Combi. The Combi CAN sautee and slow cook. Thanks for the watching and the comment. Marc.

I cooked in my combi for the first time, spaghetti & chicken thighs and think speedi worked better. Spaghetti with 2 cups chicken broth and 1 jar spaghetti sauce with broken up chop meat came out kind of dry with some spaghetti burned together. I had to add little water at end to loosen it up. Thighs were cooked on top tray, 6 with skin on and it was swimming in it's own juices. 20 minutes on combi baking so what I found. If your making any coated meat better be skinless or juices will prevent it from crisping unlike in the speedi had no problem. Spaghetti should have broken in half and altered directions so wouldn't pack down. Looks like speedi technics aren't fully transferable to combi

What was it like cleaning the inside of the ninja? Also, can you actually clean it.

That’s a tough question to answer, and I’ll explain why…. If you are cooking complete meals but not air-frying, the clean up will be minimal. However, air frying something like wings for example, will create grease splatter and over time, some build up, which then needs to be cleaned. Hopefully that answers your question. Marc

@TheAverageKitchen thanks. The ninja flip (I used to love) smokes (due to grease etc) I clean and clean. But unable to clean it good enough, as unable to get where you need.)

I’m loving the video but there seems to be a problem with following the book’s instructions. If you change the directions then it’s very possible you change the outcome. I just would like to know how it turns out just as the book tells us it would turn out.

Thanks, can you be more specific on what we changed that would be that drastic ? Marc

@@TheAverageKitchen I believe you had said you added extra sauce and removed the veggies ect. I’m not trying to upset anyone here just wanted to see how things really turned out just as the company intended it. In my head a recipe is written and done for a reason. When you said you wanted to follow the recipe but then changed things because of what you like or didn’t like changed the recipe. I am just curious on what it would have really been like just as it was in the book that’s all.

Thanks for the insight. I can tell you, we’ve reviewed probably 25 ninja products and I use their recipes as guidelines as many of the exact recipes we’ve done of theirs did not turn out well. I certainly don’t understand how extra sauce would change anything in a recipe…. The for watching. Marc

@@TheAverageKitchen How about review the item and the receipt just ass it is. Then if it turns out terrible then do another review with your changes that makes it better and give your better receipt. So the only reason I’m going down this line with you because not all people can do what you are doing with these add ones or changes. I do elder care and when looking at these different machines we are looking at durability, ease of use, how is the cook book written and is the food of some quality. I totally understand that criticism sometimes isn’t fun but we all get it and for me it’s kind of a growing pain feeling but I know it’s part of life for me. Definitely when dealing with the elderly.
