Ninja Foodi Air Fryer Toaster Oven

Ninja Foodi Air Fryer Toaster Oven – \$200 USD. (discount purchase)

I’m really enjoying this appliance—it’s a great deal. Out of the ten preset functions, I usually stick to four: Toast, Air Fry, Rapid Bake, and Griddle. I’ve used it for toast, vegetables, steak, and seafood.

I’ve nearly ruined it twice: once by overheating it while trying to broil a thick steak, and another time by slamming the door shut too hard. In both cases the unit recovered after I unplugged it and let it cool down.

Recent test: I baked a yam today. The controls are a bit “twiddly,” but not overly complicated. The countdown timer is straightforward. The display doesn’t have friendly icons—just a numeric readout and a few indicator lights.

Tip: Don’t run the Broil function on level 3 (high) for more than three minutes in a single cooking session. Stay within that limit and you’ll be fine.

Steak: The most challenging dish I’ve successfully cooked is a steak. I recommend using the Griddle setting at 400 °F. The unit comes with an iron griddle that heats up quickly. I use a high‑smoke‑point oil such as avocado oil. I’d also like to try baking muffins sometime soon.

Overall comparison: Compared with a microwave, this oven delivers much better texture—provided you can tolerate a little smoke. It isn’t as instantaneous as a microwave, but the results are worth the extra time.

Easy favorite: Frozen pizza. It turns out perfectly on the griddle tray using the dedicated “Frozen Pizza” setting.

Bottom line: The Ninja Foodi Air Fryer Toaster Oven is a solid, versatile addition to any kitchen, especially if you’re comfortable with a bit of smoke and don’t need microwave‑speed cooking.
