I have always wanted something that does a little bit of everything. The ninja foodi does just that. I have tried every setting there is and everything has turned out perfect. When you turn it on it will have to heat up. After about 5 min of heating then it will tell you to add food. It has an automatic timer for the food. During cooking the timer will count down. Halfway through cooking it will beep and tell you to flip. If you dont want to flip it then it will continue to cook till the timer runs out. I love the Air Fryer feature so much. No more turning on the oven for quick fixes. The inside comes with a grill top and a grease catcher. When I use the Air fryer I remove the grill part. The clean up is super easy! Hands down the best kitchen appliance i have ever gotten.
