Got to the 11 qt megazone alot bigger

Just to assist anyone concerned about large meats not fitting in - I’ve read elsewhere that the crispers at the bottom are intended to crisp smaller portions. When cooking larger meats like chicken, joints etc. you are supposed to take the crisper plates from the bottom and it gives the drawer more height. Hope this helps.

Roasting a whole chicken breast side down first is how I was taught. It allows the juices to remain in the breast meat and keep the meat tender. As has been said, you then flip the chicken for the last part of the cook to brown the top. Thanks for the video. I've just ordered this model to replace my AF300, which has given up the ghost. The single draw is a concern, but I like the extra versatility option of a bigger draw when cooking a larger meal. Fingers crossed.

I cook my poultry in my 8 quart Ninja Foodi Pressure Cooker/Air Fryer. I pressure cook it to fully cook and then I air fry it for 10 minutes to crisp up the skin afterwards, Most perfect turkey and chicken cooking method there is in my book as well as other meats. The MegaZone wouldn’t work for me on many levels. It’s not really big enough for the chicken, it doesn’t pause cooking if you open the tray and the fact there isn’t an easy way to empty the cooking tray doesn’t cut it for me either. I’ll keep my current gadgets which includes the above mentioned Air Fryer/Pressure cooker as well as my Ninja grill with air fryer which also doesn’t really have an easy way to empty out but I love it for grilling. Thanks for your review. These certainly help me make up my mind about the next generation stuff. I think you were very generous with your rating. I wouldn’t have given it more than a 6.

Can you choose to simply use 1 side only (left or right) so do you have to use both sides at once? There are times I will be doing batches of up to 40-60 pieces of chicken, so the big basket is appealing on that angle, but for cooking for just 2 people I'll just need to use just 1 side of the air fryer then.

I went in to Canadian Tire to have a look at this with the intention to buy it. As soon as I looked at the display model and pulled out the basket the first thing I thought was that's way too small in height.

My first experience with fresh, non-breaded wings is: in the mega basket, they took a lot longer than when cooking the same number with the divider in place. Probably twice the length of time. I was disappointed with that. So now I'm trying to decide whether to return it and replace it with a single basket fryer of similar total capacity.

@@Yummi_913 I I would say It’s only worth it if you are going to be using the Megazone function and if you are going to buy the larger 10.4 litre version. The version that was reviewed wouldn’t cut if for me as too shallow, witness the trouble they had with the whole chicken. The bigger issue with something like this is that if you were using one side for something like fries then you can’t take out the basket to shake them or pour on to a plate as it’s just too cumbersome for that. Cooking time is a non issue and takes no longer to cook sausages or bake mince pies than other air fryers if your using one side and can’t say there was a noticeable time increase when I used the megazone to cook some large pasties. No other air fryer I am aware of can take a leg of lamb like this product so nothing to compare it to except a conventional oven which, of course, it beats hands down. If you don’t need the mega one part then Ninja sell the Dual Zone which has two smaller separate baskets and allows you to sync the them like this one does but I have no experience of that.

I think it is the 400 one but my kitchen is tiny and there's only 2 of us now so it's plenty big enough l only wish that these gadgets were available years ago but better late than never

You're a huge "component" of letting meat rest for a while? LOL

What time does it go upto on air fry

7 ай бұрын

Great question. Because of the display, I don't think it could go above 99:59 minutes. So that would be the max, but it might be lower than that. I can't imagine air frying anything that long anyway. Hope this helps. - J

Yeah, I really don't think it's deceiving cuz I think common sense would tell you that you need to know the cooking time of each item and that in order for them to be in sync they have to finish at the same time

And if they tell you the cooking time, which ends up being wrong? It's deceiving in the sense that you won't know the exact time each item takes to cook the first time or two using a new product. Therefore the function is only useful at that point, but not right away. - J

@@TheAverageKitchen but that would apply to anything you're cooking with any device. I don't know how long something's going to cook until I cook it for the first time

Exactly our point. We’ve reviewed 25 different air fryers. They all cook slightly different. This is a review video of a new product used for the first time. NOT something we’ve used for years and have multiple cooking experiences with to know EXACT cook times.

@@TheAverageKitchen Yes and my point is this isn't a device issue. So it's not really a standout point because no matter what cooking times vary not just by device. By thickness of the cut by weight of the food. There's a lot of factors so to point it out like like it's a specific problem or issue in this device is kind of weird to me. As soon as I heard your criticism I was like you can literally apply that to cooking on the stove top to barbecuing to campfire grills it's not a ninja specific issue, that's just how food works. Times can vary. It's up to the user to know how long something should take to cook

I’m seeing like smoke … are y’all getting high?
