Ninja Foodi Air Fryer OP300UK
The Ninja Foodi 7-in-1 offers allow you to enjoy more than just air frying. You can bake, roast, fry, steam, and even grill your food in one simple and attractive gadget.
It’s an excellent choice for every medium/large family looking for a device that offers access to healthy and guilt-free meals with barely any oil.
The fact that you can cook foods requiring hours at a fraction of their average cooking time is also simply amazing.
From crispy chicken breasts to golden chips and perfectly charred steaks, you can expect a superb performance accompanied by stunning results.
You’ll love this extraordinary time and energy saver, and it is also easy to clean.
However, this gigantic device does take a bit of space, and the air frying lid never comes off but opens at 90 degrees to the cooker. Plus, you have to deal with a short power cable and have ventilation space around your cooker.
Therefore, you should figure out the amount of worktop space you can have before purchasing this 6L Electric multi-cooker and air fryer.
Regardless, it takes the place of an oven and other fine appliances in your kitchen and would be totally worth it.

Our Full Product Review:
Ninja Foodi is known for its high-quality air fryers. However, the Ninja Foodi 7-in-1 stands out because you can enjoy more cooking options and a generous capacity to cook for a medium/large family.
The Air fryer mode works perfectly, transforming your meat and fries into perfectly golden and delicious results. However, you shouldn’t use the instructions on temperature and timings you find in the beginner’s recipe guide as gospel. The Air fryer is notably powerful and might require less time and temperature to get the best results. It takes a little trial and error to figure out the best settings for you.
The Bake mode is excellent for baking bread, pastries, and other sensational desserts. It’s a perfect choice when you want to bake simple recipes without heating the oven. The 6L cooking pot that comes with this air fryer can even serve as your mixing bowl; to reduce the amount of washing up you might do afterward. The Bake mode also doubles as the roast mode, frying a whole roast chicken in about 45 minutes.
The Steam mode is perfect for transforming your vegetables, steak, and chicken. You can simply swap the air frying/crisping lid for the pressure cooking technology to use the Slow Cook method, which will cut down the expected time for slow-cooking food like pulled pork. The pressure cooking allows for a shorter time and quickly cooks the food without any losses in nutrients or juices to create healthier and great-tasting meals. What’s most impressive is that you can actually move your food straight from the freezer into the Ninja Foodi OP300UK without first defrosting.
Ideal for one-pot meals
It also comes with a reversible rack that makes it easy to prepare your meat and sizes together in one pot. Think about having enough space to cook your rice, veggies arranged at the bottom of your cooker, and air fry your meat on the reversible rack.
The only downside is that this Foodi doesn’t have the re-heat mode for making fresh-frozen pizza. However, you can always use the steam mode for that purpose.
Simple, ergonomic, and attractive design
Your air fryer will be massive but by no means ugly. It is ceramic coated to give off a glossy dark appearance to match the décor of any kitchen. However, at 43cm-high, you should ensure that wherever you might set down your cooker, it becomes its permanent space. It’s not the kind of appliance you can hide away after use. Your Ninja Foodi multi-cooker will arrive with a reversible rack, cooking pot, crisping plate, and a pressure-cooking lid. These accessories are sufficient for everyone wishing to air fry, roast, grill, and do many other things with this cooker.
Easy to cook
Your air fryer comes with a bold digital touchscreen display, with all the buttons around it labelled and easy to operate. However, you might have to spend a little time getting used to your air fryer. If you find anything challenging, you can always use your instruction manual to guide you. You will also receive a dedicated guide for using your pressure cooker. Regardless, the starter guide and pre-set modes on your air fryer can be a little off. Due to the power and speed at which the air fryer cooks, checking your food at least 10 minutes or more before the actual cooking time, it says on the guide.
Cook multiple dishes and eat whenever you like
Once your meals are cooked, your air fryer automatically switches to a 30 minutes Keep Warm function. However, you have the option to re-set the Keep Warm mode for as much as 12 hours. So, you can set the Foodi and forget it, which I don’t recommend. I already talked about the tendency to overcook your meals. Therefore, you should stand guard while it cooks to prevent such episodes.
Varying temperature and time range
Having control over the length of time and temperature of your food to the minute detail is worthwhile. Even as this air fryer comes with pre-set modes, you can make changes to cook at low and high temperatures, alongside low and high pressure.
When using the slow cooker, you have the option to adjust for high pressure anywhere from 4 to 12 hours and for low pressure from 6 to 12 hours. Do note that when pressure cooking, it releases a lot of steam when you lift off the pressure lid, So, you should always open the top away from your face.
Our Verdict:
The Ninja Foodi 7-in-1 Multi-Cooker 6L OP300UK is a perfect choice for a medium/large family looking for the idea of an air fryer, pressure cooker, and slow cooker in a straightforward device. You’ll love the easy set-up and limited wash-up.
This device requires a great deal of space, which means if you are space-conscious, you must consider the size of your kitchen before purchasing this device. However, you will also find that this single gadget can do a great number of things, replacing your instant pot, steamer, slow cooker, pressure cooker, and air fryer. Overall, the Ninja Foodi 7-in-1 is a worthy choice with guaranteed excellent performance and spot-on results.
