Product Information

Having used other Ninja appliances, such as the Ninja Blender & Soup Maker, Ninja Foodi Max and Ninja Health Grill and Air Fryer we knew that we were probably in for a solid, dependable experience and the Ninja AF100UK Air Fryer certainly didn't disappoint. Ninja does actually sell a slightly grander version called the Ninja Air Fryer Max AF160UK for a little more cash, but this one is absolutely on the money. For larger families or if you like to entertain guests, the Ninja 9.5 litre model will be perfect for your purposes. The advantage of the larger models, the Ninja 7.6 and the Ninja 9.5, is the dual zone cooking functionality. This is where you can cook two completely different food types and have it timed so they finish simultaneously. I like air fryers with handles, as the drawers are easy to remove and shake partway through cooking.

How does it work? Simply select a cooking function and food type from preset options. From rare to well done, choose your desired outcome and cook your food with the leave-in Digital Cooking Probe in place. When the grill beeps, take your food out to rest. Dehydrate is a useful tool to have, running between 40C and 90C. I found it useful for drying out herbs in the garden before the cold weather could kill them off.

While simply adding a second basket onto a standard air fryer adds a lot of versatility and functionality, Ninja takes things a step further thanks to some clever settings. When cooking two portions at different temperatures or times, the Dual Zone’s handy sync setting ensures both will finish cooking at the same time, while its match setting allows you to mirror the set-up of the baskets, making it simple to cook up two batches of the same food. The best Ninja air fryer to buy in 2023 1. Ninja Foodi Dual Zone Air Fryer: Best dual-drawer Ninja air fryer Don't overcrowd the basket. Leaving enough space between the food items allows hot air to circulate and cook everything evenly.

A removable splatter guard prevents fat from splashing against the heating element, working alongside a temperature-controlled grill plate and cool-air zone to reduce smoke. No guesswork. No need to worry about under or overcooking. No need to cut into food to see if it’s ready. Audible alerts let you know when your food is ready to remove and rest before serving. Ninja recommends a three-minute warm-up time, which has to be applied manually, before adding food. On the more expensive products, such as the Ninja Foodi MAX Health Grill & Air Fryer AG551UKDBCP, there’s an automatic preheat. Looking beyond air fryers, Ninja also has a range of appliances which incorporate air frying alongside a host of other cooking abilities. While not every Ninja multi cooker will have all of these settings, the full range includes: pressure cooking, slow cooking, grilling, roasting, sauteing, baking, dehydrating, dough proving, steaming and range of combination settings which pair steaming with other cooking modes to help achieve the perfect balance of crispness and moistness. The Ninja Air Fryer AF100UK is a circular-shaped air fryer that comes with a dishwasher-safe frying basket and crisper plate. One of the more compact air fryers we’ve tested, measuring 36 x 25 x 23cm / 13.6 x 11 x 13.3 inches (d x w x h), at 3.8 litres / 4 quarts it does have a lesser capacity than many other air fryers on the market. As well as air fry, it can also roast, reheat and even dehydrate, making it as versatile as many of the best air fryers we’ve tested.
