Review on Ninja Foodi DZ550 10 Quart DualZone Smart XL Air Fryer With Two Independent Baskets, Smart Cooking Thermometer, Match Cook And Smart Finish, Perfect For Roasting, Dehydrating, And More, Grey by Kenny Noel

I’ve been hearing so many people talk about having air fryers so I finally got around to seeing what all the hype was about. I wanted the double drawer fryer because I mostly wanted a better way to cook chicken, steak or fries. I tried using it for the first time last night after watching a YouTube video on how to use it. It went seamlessly. Unit comes with instructions that are easy to read and pretty self explanatory just looking at the unit. I used both drawers to cook chicken breast which I had marinated all day. I set it for the match cooking so they would cook at the same temperature and time. The manual comes with some guidelines for general foods so I based my time and temp off that. I put at the lower end of the time and made sure to flip the chicken mid way through as I’ve heard and read that’s best to do. The chicken was far superior then when cooked on the grill. The crisper tray helped get the heat and air on all sides and let juices run off underneath. The chicken was crisp and browned like a grill but texture was soft and not too firm. When I cut into it the chicken was cooked perfectly throughout. I will be using this all the time.The only downfall in buying this particular model is that it looks like the other models that look more like a crockpot are probably better suited for things like rice etc. these look like a fryer drawer like at a fast food place. So depending on what you cook most a different model may be better but for my needs this is perfect. Chicken was done in about 25 minutes and I only had to flip it once otherwise it was all set. Clean up was easy. Pulled the drawers out and wash in soap and water in the sink and laid out overnight to dry.A+ product.
