Ninja Foodi MAX Dual Zone Air Fryer [AF451UK] Smart Cook System, 9.5L, 2 Drawers, 6 Functions, Black

Product Information

The easy-to-use digital control panel with a countdown timer makes it easy to see how much cooking time is left.

With the SYNC feature you can cook two different foods using different times, temperatures and programs – both are ready to serve at the same time!Easily feed 8+ people – this extra-large capacity air fryer cooks up to 25% more**. (Compared to AF300UK, 7.6L) testing and calculations based on recommended cook time for sausages, using air fry function versus conventional ovens Another claim that Ninja makes in its marketing of this product is that it can cook “up to 75% faster” than traditional fan ovens. While it can definitely help to save on cooking time and energy costs, in my experience, I’m not too sure if it’s able to match the results of a traditional oven in just a quarter of the time. I’ve found roast potatoes, for instance, can be cooked to perfection in 20-25 minutes in the AF451UK. However, my pretty standard fan oven can roast them to a similar finish in 60-70 minutes, which is about a third of the time. Take mealtimes to the MAX with the large capacity air fryer that cooks 2 foods, 2 ways, and finishes at the same time.

But what makes it so good? For one, it’s absolutely bursting with features, all of which help to make the device easy to use and efficient for all cooking scenarios. There are six cooking options: air fry, max crisp air fry, bake, roast, dehydrate, and reheat. The only thing it’s missing is the option to grill. Ninja clearly wants you to buy a separate health grill for that. In my tests, each and every function has worked as expected, even when I tried dehydrating some oranges ahead of my weekend of negroni sipping.Build quality aside, the AF451UK is aesthetically pleasing, especially perched in pride of place on my kitchen countertop. The control panel has a nice solid feel to it while being satisfyingly easy to operate. Its flat top is also a welcome design feature for those with limited space, as it means you can store things on there that you might otherwise have had to relegate to a cupboard to make room, like a toaster (yes, I am speaking from experience).

Max Crisp Technology – Super fast air-flow circulates 240°C temperature to evenly cook & crisp frozen food in minutes Smart Cook System – Digital Cooking Probe monitors food temperature, letting you know when it’s ready to remove for perfectly cooked meats and fish with no guesswork. Reheat – Restore leftovers to that delicious fresh-out-of-the-oven finish, perfect for reviving leftover pizza, quiche, spring rolls and more. Enjoy your fried favourites, guilt-free. Up to 75% Less Fat Than Traditional Frying Methods***(***Tested against deep fried, hand-cut French fries.) If you’re looking for an air fryer that can do it all, I truly think you’re not going to get any better than the Ninja Foodi MAX Dual Zone Air Fryer AF451UK. This appliance is easily one of the best in its class. Not only do you have a choice of six different cooking methods – from air fry and roast to bake and even dehydrate – but there’s a super smart dual cook feature that can ensure two different foods are correctly cooked, simultaneously, and are ready to eat at the same time. The addition of the Digital Cooking Probe is also a game changer for those who regularly cook meat dishes, especially big roast joints of beef or lamb, as it cooks the meat to your desired level without needing your constant attention.

One great feature that I should mention here, however, is how easy the AF451UK is to clean. The grill plates pop out of the bottom and can be thrown in the dishwasher. In fact, the entire drawer pulls and can be cleaned in the dishwasher, too, which makes meal times much less of a hassle. Cooking for extra guests or feeding the whole family? Use the MATCH feature to double your serving size, with the same cooking program and time across both drawers. Cooking for two different dietary requirements? Cater for everyone by cooking vegetarian food in one drawer and meat in the other. Cook the same food in both zones to make twice the amount of food in the same amount of time! Or easily cook two different foods with the same cooking instructions.
