Ninja Foodi Dual Zone Air Fryer
This guide provides essential information for operating your Ninja Foodi Dual Zone Air Fryer, including its features, cooking programs, and recipes.
6 Cooking Programs
The Ninja Foodi Dual Zone Air Fryer offers six versatile cooking programs:
- MAX CRISP: Best for frozen foods such as French fries and chicken nuggets.
- AIR FRY: Best for fresh foods like chicken wings, and your favourite frozen snacks.
- ROAST: Best for roasting vegetables and meats.
- REHEAT: Best for reviving leftovers.
- DEHYDRATE: Best for making veggie/fruit crisps and jerky.
- BAKE: Best for making cakes and other baked desserts.
Using DualZone™ Technology
The DualZone™ technology allows you to cook two different foods simultaneously, with independent controls for each zone.
SYNC: Cooking Two Foods to Finish at the Same Time
Program each zone with different functions, temperatures, or cook times, and use SYNC to ensure both zones finish cooking at the same time.
- Program Zone 1: Place food in drawers. Select a cooking function (e.g., Air Fry) and set the temperature and time using the TEMP and TIME arrows.
- Program Zone 2: Select Zone 2, choose a cooking function, and set the temperature and time.
- Begin Cooking: Select SYNC, then press START/STOP. The zone with the shorter cook time will display 'HOLD'.
MATCH: Cooking the Same Food in Each Zone
Set Zone 1 and use MATCH to automatically duplicate its settings to Zone 2.
- Program Zone 1: Place food in drawers. Select a cooking function and set the temperature and time.
- Begin Cooking: Select MATCH, then press START/STOP.
Cooking in a Single Zone
If you are only cooking one thing, fill a single zone and use the unit like a traditional air fryer.
Note: The cooking time will automatically pause when a drawer is opened. Reinsert the drawer to resume cooking.
For Best Results
CRISPER PLATE: The crisper plate promotes overall browning. It is recommended for use with most recipes unless otherwise stated.
SHAKE OR TOSS: For best results, frequently shake your food or toss it with silicone-tipped tongs to ensure it is as crispy as desired. It is recommended to shake your food at least twice during the cooking cycle.
