Ninja Air Fryer [AF160UK] Max helps create large quantities of delectable golden brown and great-tasting healthy air-fried recipes. You can say goodbye to greasy deep fryers of the past and cooking up unhealthy and fatty foods.

It comes with an extra-large basket, which is suitable for large families and parties up to 5 persons. The large basket can especially accommodate a 1.5kg chicken.

The Ninja Air Fryer comes with six customizable functions. You can roast, bake, air fry, reheat, max crisp, and dehydrate.

The Air Fry mode is primarily responsible for reducing your oil intake from fried foods. With barely any oil, you can create deliciously golden and crispy results. It’s an ideal way to steak, burgers, chicken breasts, sandwiches, and fats without guilt.  It is worthy to note that your crisp basket can accommodate as much as 900g fries which is enough for about 3 to 4 people.

The Max Crisp pre-set mode offers super-fast airflow that can thaw frozen food in a few minutes. The super-fast airflow especially makes it easy to circulate air across your food for a uniform result. However, I also recommend shaking food often or tossing using a silicone tong for best results.

The Bake mode is excellent for creating pastries such as pies, bread, and cakes.

You can roast vegetables, potatoes, and even whole chicken using the Roast mode.

The dehydrate mode is excellent for transforming your fresh fruits, vegetables and herbs into their dried counterparts. You will especially love making your own beef jerky using this appliance.

I especially love the Reheat mode, which warms up leftovers, including quiche and pizza, without compromising taste and texture.

However, it would help if you didn’t rely on the pre-set modes (or recipe guide) as gospel. Due to the immense power of the device, you might have to check your food at about 10 minutes (5 minutes for reheat mode) before the pre-set time to prevent it from overcooking. In some cases, you may also consider adding extra minutes to ensure you cook them properly.

Intuitive and easy to use

The Air Fryer Max [AF160UK]’s large capacity would be overwhelming if you had complicated controls alongside. At the side of your air fryer, you can find buttons and a large clear digital display panel to keep track of the happenings inside your air fryer.

Sleek and stylish design

Whether you are worried about aesthetics and how this appliance fits into your kitchen décor or don’t have enough space in your kitchen, this device alleviates all of them. Despite being large, it actually requires only a tiny space on your kitchen worktop. It is also made with a ceramic, non-stick glossy finish, which is an excellent addition to your ultra-modern kitchen. Feel free to wow your guests with your lovely little air fryer and treat them to its impeccable results.

Feed the whole family

The Ninja AF160UK is family-friendly and suitable for home-cooked family meals. It has a 5.2L capacity basket that can fit in enough food to satisfy everyone. It is just the perfect size for a variety of meals ranging from steaks, salmon fillets, Mediterranean vegetables, roast potatoes, shrimps, and burgers. You’ll also love that it cooks almost 50 percent faster than when using traditional ovens, allowing you to prepare delicious dinner meals for your entire family at record speed.

Varying temperature and timer

The digital panel allows you to set the correct timer and temperature for different meals. However, there are different maximum temperatures for different cooking modes. The air fry, roast, and bake options can go as high as 210oC, while the Max Crisp climbs as high as 240oC. However, the dehydrate mode caps at 40oC.

Dishwasher safe

You don’t have to worry about washing and cleaning your air fryer. Because it is made from a non-stick ceramic coating, you can use a damp cloth to wipe off any smudges and smears on the buttons or other parts of the air fryer. All components such as the basket and cooking pot are entirely dishwasher friendly. So, you only have to remove them and pop them into a dishwasher for a squeaky clean result.

Superb performance and fast

You’ll especially love the notable time difference between this device and fan ovens or other traditional devices. It can make your meals blazing fast, which means you have to experiment to get the right temperature and length of time on your own. Therefore, the downside is that you cannot put your food into the air fryer and walk away. You have to check your food from time to time to cook right. Don’t forget to use the pause button when doing this.
