Ninja Foodi Air Fry Oven XL - DT200

I had the original flip and loved it, except it was too darn short! Upgraded to this one when it went on sale. Unfortunately the pan and rack from the first do not fit in the second, but you Can use the black pan from the first as a sort of 'over flow safety' catch tray. The black sear tray/pan with this one, seems to only fit at one height position, which is a little frustrating, but I guess not a deal breaker. As far as casserole dishes, you still can't go crazy - possibly a normal height Pyrex may be fine (I don't own one), but you would Not want your food to rise above the edge while cooking, I think. - Sam's carries a set of smaller casseroles by Martha Stewart (3 pieces, almost a Tiffany blue) that fit Perfectly, but may not fit more than a family of two.

I have not cooked anything big and splattery- I'm disabled and don't want to create unnecessary labor for myself. It does great with stir frying (air frying) zuke & onion with balsamic glaze, pot stickers/dumplings, corn bread, custards, casseroles, tuna melts, everything flat (pizza/fish fingers/etc...) - so I have Not done bacon/chicken wings/the sort, so cane really speak about the clean up. I have mine sat on top of my stove so that I don't need to worry about counter/heat, and can easily use the range hood vent- I haven't had a smoke issue though because I don't cook those foods. I haven't really needed to flip it up yet either, but I can see where that wouldn't be the greatest/smartest thing to do to the power cord. My only serious warning would be to possibly NOT get this for someone with a visual impairment. The controls are easy enough to use, but getting things out of it, when it's a short space from top to bottom- using a pot holder or two, it can be difficult to get your fingers or hand in to grab the edge of your dish without the serious concern of getting burnt. In this instance, possibly the bucket type of air fryer is designed better - but how do you cook a pizza in those?

So we got this to help free up space on the counters initially with more possible uses as an appliance. Definitely got more than we bargained for! We got to clear up room of our old toaster, air fryer, countertop oven by replacing it with this air fry 10-in-1 oven and not only that it flips up creating more counter space! We have air fried chicken wings that turned out great, baked cookies, pizza, toasted bread, and lots more. Everything came out great and tasted delicious easily feeding our family of 3 at one time due to the larger XL size. Heats up quick, cooks evenly and thoroughly, cleaning is very easy, the whole interface is easy to use, and just simply looks great in our kitchen. This has been the greatest addition for us by reducing the amount of appliances ... MoreSo we got this to help free up space on the counters initially with more possible uses as an appliance.

It even came with a kebab kit that we plan on using very soon and sure will come out great!

Overall the absolute best way to cook a frozen pizza. My husband is the pickiest pizza eater ever, and he raves about how light and fluffy yet crispy instead of soggy the Ninja cooks his frozen pizzas. Preheating is never a favorite of mine when cooking, but with the Ninja the Dual Heat mode has preheated in under a minute every time. The instructions say to be prepared, having food ready to go in the oven because preheating is quick. This is true! At first I got a little anxious about having the food put in right when the preheat indicator beeps, but adding cooking time is easy with just a turn of the knob. The sear plate is my favorite part of this oven. I use it for pizza, veggies, meats and more. My frozen hash brown patties come out with a crispness after using ... MoreOverall the absolute best way to cook a frozen pizza.

The sear plate is my favorite part of this oven. I use it for pizza, veggies, meats and more. My frozen hash brown patties come out with a crispness after using the sear plate. The only downside to the sear plate is that it has to be washed between every use, so if you are making a couple items one after the other you'll want to wash it. Here's the catch: the instructions recommend that the plate cool down prior to washing to maintain the integrity of the finish. I've found just two more negatives on this excellent product: 1) the door is HOT to the touch, so you must use the handle on the left to open (this can be awkward for righties), 2) the oven light only stays on for one minute and then fades until the last minute of cook time when it turns on automatically (I found this frustrating when I would glance across the kitchen to see how things are going.) I'll end on a high note -- this oven can cook 30-50% faster than a normal oven. So meals get prepared faster, and you can feed your hungry family or friends and get on to other things besides cooking.
