Just got a Ninja air fryer. Anybody use an air fryer for everyday use. Looks kind of complicated. All suggestions welcomed.

Take the patience and read the instructions. We passed on the Ninja because it was to small for what we needed.

We don't habe the Ninja but ours is pretty simple. Figure out the right time and temp using the instructions on the food box or the internet then press Start. Ours has some pre-programmed settings which have been pretty close to what the internet recommended.

When we got our Corso it was somewhat intimidating at first. After trying it a few times we found it was faster and much more convenient than the oven.

Experiment with the cooking times, do not use ours for toasting but for all kinds of cooking it is great.

We got a Ninja a few months ago. 2 drawers, 8 (or possibly 10) qt each. My wife uses it several times a week. She loves it! You can cook two things at once. Simple to use...

She searches Pintrest for recipes...

I use my air fryer a few times a week. Roast chicken breast, baked potato, meatloaf, porkchops, etc. etc. Air fryers tend to cook faster than a regular oven. Very simple.

The manual that came with our Ninja air fryer/slow cooker/pressure cooker was pretty inadequate in regards recipes. We've had to experiment and sometimes make mistakes. However, we no longer deep fry anything but air fry instead and have used the slow cooker and the pressure cooker with great results. We're impressed enough with the Ninja line that we also bought a full replacement sets of pots and pans from them and like them much better than the various brands we've owned over the years.

We swapped out our new range for A new upgraded range with more burners, an air fryer in the oven, and I can operate it from my iPhone. Very easy to use, I can cook chick n nuggets to a large turkey with no problems using the air fryer

Does anyone have both a convection oven and an air fryer? And, do both cook in the same amount of time and with similar results?

We were surprised, and pleased, to learn that the GE Cafe' oven that came in our house includes an air fryer option, along with many other bells and whistles. We use the air fryer all the time, and the added bonus is we don't need to sacrifice additional counter space for a standalone version.

Ninja has a recipe website Ninjakitchen.com that has recipes specific to their appliances.
We have also watched “ Cooking with Doug “ on line and used some of his methods and recipes which are shown in a very folksy way.
