I have a corner in my heart dedicated to all kinds of gadgets, especially gadgets for the kitchen. I've become interested in all the Ninja gear on the market, from the various salad choppers I order to the array of cleaning tools I own (especially his Ya'acov ones). Certain brands have a certain allure that makes us want every product they release.
Ninja is one such brand, and in the years since the first device with “Air-Fry” was invented, not much has changed except for the shape and size of the device. Essentially, all devices can be divided into two main categories: One family of blenders for chopping and blending things, the other a versatile cookware with air-frying functions tuned for different combinations of air, temperature, and temperature, and buttons for various operations. is. moisture.
A “pressure cooker” is a variation of a hot air, water, and pressure mechanism. Fried and grilled foods are crispy finished with high-temperature hot air accompanied by a certain amount of humidity. Ceramics are made using gently circulating hot air with no moisture, and fermentation is completed by adding a small amount of extremely low-temperature hot air with high humidity. Each time it seems like something new is being added to your device, but in reality it's just a new button that's a variation of the same element. For example, food dehydration sounds strange, but it's actually a prolonged period of mild hot air at very low temperatures. One of his devices for making yogurt even has a button, and he'd like to meet someone who has used it intentionally.
But that doesn't matter, just like with the iPhone, I always really want the latest version, even if it's just a difference in software level. Like I said, it's magic.
Practical with exaggeration: manual blender and mixer systems
A compact device with a single motor unit that turns into three different devices by switching between blender wand, food processor, or manual mixer. what can I say? This is an exaggerated reality. There is hardly any cooking or baking that doesn't involve at least one utensil. The motor unit remains plugged in, so connect whatever you need as needed. Most of the time I use a perfectly sized cutting board. Chop onions, vegetables, nuts, spreads, purees, and anything else that needs to be crushed, mashed, or chopped.
Blender wands are used to handle soups and sauces. Sometimes, if you just want to whisk two proteins but don't want to pull out the whole heavy blender and wash that part later, you can connect the beater and whisk directly. Ordinary plastic bowl – all with simple click connections, all parts can be placed in the dishwasher, which makes the device very easy to maintain, as it can be disassembled and takes up little space in the kitchen .

oil free dual fryer
The second device is an oil-free dual fryer that includes six different programs to cook different meals at the same time. Air fry frozen foods such as chicken wings, potatoes, crispy max, nuggets and chips for grilling, baking, reheating foods to restore crispiness and flavor, and drying foods – to make dried fruit, jerky and more.
The flyer has two modes. There is a “Full Meal'' mode that allows you to precisely adjust cooking times in each drawer to cook different dishes at the same time, and a “Sync'' mode that allows you to “copy'' cooking settings to both areas. What you are cooking. All parts are dishwasher safe, and the device uses 75% less fat than traditional frying and can fry in less than half the time it takes in a regular oven.
The device is rectangular and resembles a miniature oven with two drawers. You can imagine the capacity (approximately 10 liters). I put him 3 salmon fillets with spices, mustard and vegetables in one drawer and salmon slices in the other drawer. Vegetables for appetizers (carrots, potatoes, etc.). I started by setting each parameter to “full meal”. 30 minutes later, the meal was just now ready for two people. So I baked a chicken, prepared some bread, and made a “healthy” cake on my device as usual. It is a mixture (bowl and spoon) of oatmeal, milk, eggs and various types of dried fruits and nuts. I spread the chunks in my drawer on baking paper and within 15 minutes, I had oil-free, sugar-free granola bars that even nutritionists couldn't argue with.
