Using Combi Cooker Modes:

For Combi Cooker modes (Combi Meals, Combi Crisp, Combi Bake, Steam, Proof, Rice/Pasta), ensure the top lid is in the closed position. These modes often utilize HyperSteam technology for optimal results.

• Combi Meals: Cook proteins, vegetables, and grains simultaneously. Refer to the unit's internal guide for water recommendations and tray levels.
• Combi Crisp: Ideal for perfectly crispy, juicy proteins and vegetables without drying out. Add water as recommended for smaller proteins/veggies or larger roasts.
• Combi Bake: For higher-rise cakes and breads with better crusts. Unit will steam for 20 minutes, then begin convection heating. Reduce cook times by half compared to conventional recipes.

Using Air Fry / Stovetop Modes:

For Air Fry / Stovetop modes (Air Fry, Bake, Broil, Pizza, Toast, Sear/Sauté, Slow Cook, Sous Vide), ensure the top lid is in the open position. These modes utilize convection heat or direct heat for cooking.

• Air Fry: Achieve crispy results with little to no oil. Use the Crisper Tray for best airflow.
• Bake/Roast: Use the Bake Tray for traditional oven cooking.
• Toast: Perfect for bread, bagels, and more. Adjust shade level as desired.
• Slow Cook: Ideal for tender, slow-cooked dishes.

5. Cooking Tips

• Frozen to Table: The HyperSteam function allows you to cook frozen proteins and vegetables directly without pre-thawing.
• Optimal Crisping: For best air frying results, ensure food is arranged in a single layer on the Crisper Tray to allow for even air circulation.
• Moisture Retention: Combi Cooker modes are excellent for retaining moisture in foods, resulting in tender and juicy outcomes.
• Adjust Cook Times: When using the Ninja Combi, especially for air frying, you may need to reduce cooking times compared to conventional oven or basket air fryer recipes due to its efficient heating. Monitor food closely to prevent overcooking.
