Hi Mike – sorry you’re disappointed. I agree, how big and heavy it is can be a problem if you don’t have space for it.

Love the versatility of this machine however!!!
This is a very heavy machine. You need a space to put it and leave it. The hinged lid does not have a latch so when you carry it, the lid opens up and pinches you fingers holding the handle. (I feel this is a defect that needs to be addressed). The steam release knob is small and I have burned my fingers many times trying to release steam. (Another poor design) There is no preheat setting which many recipes call for preheated oven!
All in all the machine is to big and very cumbersome! We will look for something that is easier to use. This machine is not a recommend buy.

In reply to Barbara McNab. Hi Barbara - generally you do not change the cook time when using a lesser amount of ingredients. The exception is when meat is half as thick, then you do to shorten the cook time.

Do you lessen the pressure cooking time for a lesser amount of ingredients?

I use mine daily the only complaint I have is trying to clean the heating element it is not removable and gets caked with grease.

I have one of these, and have followed lots of recipes for roast chicken in this one and can not get the skin crispy.
The chicken is cooked beautifully but the skin never crisps.

The same with fries – I end up putting those in the oven to crisp them up

Any ideas on what I might be doing wrong?

In reply to amy.

Hi Amy – no, don’t use pressure on low, just select the slow cook setting and adjust the time with the up and down arrows – it goes from 4 to 12 hours in 15 minute increments. Use the pressure cooking lid with the steam release valve on vent.

I am not sure how to use my air fryer ninja for slow cooking. the only button is has says “slow Cooker Yogurt.” How do I make a dish where I want to slow cook ALL day? I dont want yogurt. Want a chili for example. Should I do PRESSURE and do low for max 4 hours?

It’s a bit awkward for us lefties. The lid gets in the way …
