Product Information

It's prettier than other multi-cookers at first glance - if it was a toss-up between the Ninja Foodi 9-in-1 and this smaller pastel cooker, I know which one I'd choose. There's also the introduction of the Speedi Meal Builder alongside the new cooker, an app that can generate a recipe for you based on the ingredients you have at home. Cooking weeknight meals just got a whole lot speedier - and tastier - thanks to Ninja's innovative Speedi 10-in-1 Rapid Cooker. So much more than a regular multi-cooker, you can cook three different parts of your meal in ten different ways, in as little as 15 minutes* - just because you're short on time, doesn't mean you have to compromise on delicious, home-cooked meals. For starters, this can be useful, but once we were used to the air fryer, we found it easier to skip the app and use the controls on the front. Next, I moved on to multi-level cooking. I made some halloumi kebabs, coated with a soya sauce-based dressing and placed these on the top level. On the bottom level, I put 200g of rice with 500ml of water, and set a cooking time of 15-minutes at 180°C. Comparatively expensive, this model won’t be for everyone, but its unique design lends itself to foods that other air fryers can’t even think about.

Secondly, the top layer can cook faster than you may expect. I found that my kebabs were cooked a few minutes before the bottom layer was, so needed removing earlier. Even so, for a mid-week meal, it took 20 minutes (including prep) and a single pot to produce something that would otherwise have required multiple pots and grills. At the end of cooking, everything is dishwasher safe, although it’s just as easy to manually wash everything up. PerformanceCooking for 20 minutes at 200ºC, with 125ml of water in the bowl, chips were evenly cooked and had a nice crispy texture to the outside, while the inside remained soft and moist. Quite possibly, this is the best that we’ve seen any air fryer perform. Frozen hash browns and grilling rump steak were also cooked to perfection. Pressure cooking works well, too, reducing the amount of time it takes to cook a lot of food. Combining and air fryer and grill in one appliance makes a lot of sense: it doubles up of the number of uses and, for the grill in particular, keeps smoke and smells inside the appliance. Mostly, products like this are very expensive, but the Salter Aerogrill is cheaper than a lot of air-fryer only cookers.

Air fryers are brilliant but one of the biggest issues with them is that you can usually only cook at one temperature or setting at a time. Not so with the Ninja Foodi Dual Zone 7.6L Air Fryer, which brings you two individually controlled cooking zones, with their own pull out drawer. With a higher-than-average temperature option of 230C, rather than the usual 200C, the Sage the Smart Oven Air Fry can cook food faster than many other air fryers, although it does take a bit longer to heat up. All the included accessories are dishwasher safe for easy cleaning, and you can also use the Steam setting to steam-clean the inside of the lid and unit. This is a proper air fryer, too, although topping out at 210°C it can’t quite get the crispiest of results that air fryers with a higher temperature can reach. I do really like the steam air fry option: this creates perfect chips that are crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside.General air fryer foods (chips, hash browns, burgers and the like) were cooked exceptionally well, although we did have to add a bit of cooking time beyond the recommend to some food types. Using the grill, we found that its heat was slightly uneven, but moving food around manually when turning it was enough to overcome this problem. An air fryer is a countertop kitchen appliance that makes it possible to achieve similar results to a pan or fryer without submerging food in oil. Instead, air fryers only require a small about of oil to circulate hot air around the drawer and crisp up food in a short amount of time. We also look at other important factors like ease of use and key features. The number of drawers and how much they can hold are crucial details for those cooking for large households, as is the physical size of the appliance for anyone frying with limited counter space.
