The Ninja family of kitchen appliances

Svetik, also put yesterday's meat in the grill in "Recipes ..." so that it won't get lost

[Irina S]

Irina S, Irish, and the heavy grill gives additional heat, it seems to me.

Naturally, but it is not very convenient to wash it. I hope this one has not only a grill shape, but also some weight and enough heat for one steak. And if it doesn’t work out, suddenly the Grill doesn’t want to work without its own grate, I will put a small one on a large grill grate and this will somehow facilitate washing. I really hope so.

and this will somehow facilitate the laundering.

Irish, and I soak the grate right in the main saucepan with detergent, then I wash everything well with a brush

It would be nice then to make sections on the first page - vegetables, meat, poultry, pastries, grills, etc.



Can these grates be washed in the dishwasher?

Irish, and I soak the grate right in the main saucepan with detergent, then I wash everything well with a brush

I do that too. It can be washed very easily, but since I am a blind chicken, I have to look at the grate for a long time in search of an unwashed place. Therefore, I want to adapt something for one steak.

but since I am a blind chicken, I have to look at the grate for a long time in search of an unwashed place.

Irish, won't the glasses help?

It would be nice then to make sections on the first page - vegetables, meat, poultry, pastries, grills, etc.

Ol, well, take the topic for yourself, be a moderator, I'm sure no one will mind. Do whatever you like there, I, as the author, give you carte blanche

Irish, won't the glasses help?

No. With glasses I can see in general, but in details - only under my nose and then if I know where to look.

Ol, well, take the topic for yourself, be a moder, no one, I'm sure, will not mind.

My parcel, with a saucepan and a thermometer, was sent by Arab mail ARAMEX and it did not reach me. According to Amazon's calculations, I should have received it yesterday, but today it is over ... There is no representative office of this mail in Israel. On the Internet, I found that ARAMEX delivers only to Israel, and then passes it on to someone. I'll wait a week and if I don't get it, I'll write to Amazon. Damn, found whose mail to send to Israel.

I bought a chicken today for 1.4, decided to bake it whole in Fedor. They stuffed a chicken into a crispy saucepan and poured a little more than half a glass of water. 12 minutes on steam, then forcibly let off steam, smeared the chicken with a talker (honey, soy sauce, salt) and on air frai, 20 minutes at 200 degrees.



And this is the full version of dinner

[Catwoman]

Catwoman, Lena, gorgeous chicken! And in just half an hour.

How does it compare to cooking in the oven?



Rada-dms, and for the new year steaks in Ninza grill are not planned?

Turkey Hearts in the Grill
Cut the hearts, open them, make transverse cuts on the inner side of the heart, beat off and marinate.
Fry on the GRILL MAX on one side for 3, 5 - 4 minutes and on the other 3.

Catwoman, Lena, gorgeous chicken! And in just half an hour

Yeah, fast, the chicken is more juicy, even the breast, which I don't eat. The family really liked it. And really very fast

I bought pollock fillet at a discount in 5-ke, thawed it - not very
I added a little salt and added spices for fish, fried in a saucepan in ghee, poured a mixture of cream with 2 tablespoons of porcini mushroom soup (I love it very much with fish), like this:

🔗

And in the same mode, only reduced to LO: MD, 10 minutes
It turned out very acceptable, even from not very good fish:

Ladies with saucepans, tell us about washing the lid that is not removable. Does she wash as badly as her cousin? The same creep? Or is it possible to remove the part covering the heating element there?
What does the lid look like when opened? With confectionery?

[Lerele]

Rada-dms, are you planning to grill steaks in Ninza for the new year?

Almost at night at 23.50 they fried

(for you)

steaks, moved out of the country house, slept for 4 hours, later tonight I'll tell you my impressions in comparison with Delonge. And I'll show you the pictures!
We will be on NG in another place.



Lerele, already fried so much, and the lid is clean. True, I did not fry the steaks in the pan, only shrimps, potatoes, fish, sweet potatoes. I rubbed it with a cotton swab, and it's white! There is a link on how to disassemble the cover. But I think that if you run the pan in the steamer mode, then without disassembling it can be removed with a rag. So frequent disassembly will not be necessary. But this is still in theory, presumably.

Girls, in the pasta store there is such a steamer with a discount, should go to Fudik:
🔗
True, if you put it on its own stand, then it will be critical. 11 cm insert + 3 cm stand, and the pan is 13 cm ... But you can adapt it for something lower!
In general, I invite Tatiana to the joint venture, otherwise I am sad there alone ...
Purchase in a German pasta store (SP, Russia)

Almost at night at 23.50 they fried
(for you)

Thank you, thank you dear !!!

I'm waiting for the evening

[Ludmila]

Girls, in the pasta store there is such a steamer with a discount, should go to Fudik:

Ludmila, she has no legs, Ali has a lot of steamers with legs, there are silicone legs

[Elena]

Elena, yes, she has a stand separately, but I like that this is a German stainless steel, and not a mesh.))

A new grill arrived last night, of course I was stunned 23 sent 26 received, everything is OK with the customs, the invoice is zero, I did not even send the data, but maybe they used the previous ones. There are a couple of scuffs in inconspicuous places, but overall almost perfect.

Made potatoes prepared using the starch washout and blanching method
It seemed a little overexposed, I wanted it like in a poppy, although I suspect it's almost impossible, I'll try it on frozen one. But how cool it is to get fried or fried potatoes in 20-30 minutes without standing over it and without interfering. will adjust to the pace / time.
Chicken breast marinated in mustard and mayonnaise
It turned out not perfectly wet, but I think I overexposed it.
The grill is very hot, even not at the maximum, it is the largest plyuchische, Breasts and potatoes look very beautiful, although I threw it at random with shaking handles.

[Hope]

Hope, Congratulations!

There are a couple of scuffs in inconspicuous places, but overall almost perfect.

Why do they not send new ones, I wonder, all some kind of shabby

but I like that this is a German stainless steel, and not a mesh.))

well, not the grid is also full, if only German, but on the American Amazon everything is Chinese))
I have an excellent two-level steamer from Element, well, I bought a mesh on silicone legs

[helenanik]

helenanik, Lena, did you put tangerines and chicken on the dehydration regime for the night or day?

tangerines and chicken

She dehydrated the chicken on the weekend during the day, and set the tangerines for 12 o'clock in the evening, the next evening for another 2 hours, although it was possible not to add

Why do they not send new ones, I wonder, all some kind of shabby

I'm interested too. My Grill was nowhere tattered on the outside and was packaged like new, with all the stickers, and the inner pan had a scratched corner and some scuff at the bottom. Where from? Of my two trays, one is perfect and the other is slightly frayed. Also from where? They are from the same factory box! Maybe it's a hack at a Chinese factory?

Thank you. It's scary to leave it overnight.

In general, I noticed that American grills are packed differently - in polystyrene, and ey in cartons and I find it strange when there are no stickers with a film to protect the control panel.

And girls, my grill was just super packed, carry it with branded stickers, in a bag, in foam and a box, ideally, but the saucepan in the box was in the box, as if it had been taken out and not too neatly set back and sealed, but since all whole, did not pay attention

[helenanik]

helenanik, Lena, dried tangerines! How delicious they are! But not enough ... We urgently need a whatnot, now they are not available for order.

Catwoman, Lena, an excellent chicken, and most importantly - sprint cooking!
Prank, Hope, very appetizing potatoes and breasts!

And I will come with a pie.



Actually, I wasn't going to bake the pie. Yesterday I stewed chicken liver with onions, carrots and mushrooms in the Grill on the Roast program, 20 minutes. After 10 minutes from the beginning of the program, 20% cream was poured. The result was a very tasty dish, which I was going to turn either into a pate, or serve with some side dish.

I didn’t make the pate, didn’t cook the side dish, but I baked the pie on puff yeast dough. I rolled out one layer of dough ("Star") to the size of the baking sheet, thanks to Lena for the recommendation and Natasha for pointing out the wildberis. I laid out the filling from the liver, sprinkled with cheese, turned on the Bake program, T-200 degrees, time 17 minutes.

[Cvetaal]

Cvetaal, Svetlana, the cake is so uniform. how do you like the baking sheet? What does the coating look like?

What does the coating look like?

It's not clear, but the coating is very good - I have such a coating on toast bread tins - I don't grease anything at all!

[Hope]

Hope, while baking only once, cut with a Teskom's plastic knife, the coating is whole. The baking sheet is so neat, I really like it, I ordered 2 more, the price is ridiculous.

I baked a chocolate cake in new forms with Ali - they are small, but both fit into the grill

It turned out well, only it was necessary to distribute the dough evenly

This time I baked for 170, 35 minutes, Bake

[elenanik, Lena]

I'm lazy, now I can imagine how small these forms are, but two delicious cupcakes at once! Here I dug in my bins and also found something for baking
- with a removable bottom.
- detachable.
The rectangular one will have to be placed on a stand in order to raise it, otherwise it will warp it.



elenanik, Lenait seems you were looking for a fatty mesh? This is after the cutlets Lena, Catwoman... I ordered in Delikatesk - 🔗.

I ordered in Delikatesk

Svetik, thanks !!!!
I read about the squid in the description - I want to, I can't, but everything is still crammed, after NG I will order

And I had time, 30 will be delivered).

[Comparison of two grills - Contact Grill Delonghi CGH1030D and Ninja Foodi 5-in-1 4-qt. Air Fryer, Roast, Bake, Dehydrate Indoor Electric Grill (AG301)]

Comparison of two grills - Contact Grill Delonghi CGH1030D and Ninja Foodi 5-in-1 4-qt. Air Fryer, Roast, Bake, Dehydrate Indoor Electric Grill (AG301)

Still, it is not very correct to compare a contact grill with a non-contact grill.
But since it happened, I will immediately say that there is clearly no loser.
In the grill, we are interested in steaks.
After all, meat for steaks is expensive, and you can easily ruin it because of a bad device.
The task is this - to seal the meat immediately at a high temperature, to bring it under the control of the temperature probe to the desired temperature, taking into account the inertial further increase in the temperature inside the piece, in order to get the desired frying.
Therefore, you need a high power of the device, a high temperature limit and good panels or coating. Both devices meet these requirements.
Took steaks from Miratorg New York.



Unfortunately, the pieces were not the same in thickness, so the comparison will not be very correct.
The steaks were allowed to rest at room temperature for two hours.Smeared lightly with olive oil.
We started with the Ninja Grill.
Ninja warmed up to Max for more than 3-4 minutes, according to sensations. Again, I'll write the exact time, but about 12 minutes.
We inserted a heat probe into the thickest part of the steak, threw a piece inside and quickly closed the lid.
They set the time to 4 minutes, after four minutes they turned it over and set it for another 4 minutes. But here ... but no, I didn't have to wait four minutes. A minute later, the temperature reached 50C, I had to urgently take out the steak and put it on a preheated plate (do not ignore this advice if you want to get the right roast), covered it with foil in two layers on top and left to lie down.
In general, they write that the steak should lie down for 10 minutes, in my unprofessional opinion the steak cools down during this time, and then it is necessary to eat it, heating the cut pieces on a heated stone. We had no time for the stone this time, so I cut it in three or four minutes. I must say that the steak is just for this
time gained the longed-for 60C inside.
This is the temperature at which our family starts eating steaks. That is, the incision is red enough, but the blood does not ooze.
The meat was dense, but tender, did not melt, but was chewed completely, very tasty. This time Miratorg surprised.
Ate the steak, sprinkled with black salt and seasoned with Modena balsamic cream.





While the Ninja steak was resting, the panels warmed up to the maximum at Delonhge 1030.
In the same way, they threw the second thinner piece onto the lower panel, covered the upper one, that is, ensured full contact.
The time was set at 4 minutes.
Three minutes later, the temperature began to rise rapidly, the temperature rise in Delonge begins earlier, apparently due to contact.
Before we could look back, it was already almost 60C inside. To clear my conscience and a beautiful pattern, they turned the steak 180 degrees, turning it over to the other side, but almost immediately I had to take it out and put it under foil, since the temperature just started to rise at a run.
And it reached almost 70C along the thin edges, in the center up to 68C.
The roast turned out to be stronger and not as uniform as from Ninzi, but the piece was thinner by almost one centimeter.
The meat still turned out juicy, my husband ate with his eyes closed, he couldn’t tell the difference, he hardly tried to figure out the difference.





In all honesty, it turned out tastier and juicier from Ninzi, although you have to strain hard to distinguish. But the Ninzi piece was also thicker, and the roast was less strong.
It seemed to me that the piece of Ninzi turned out to be more magnificent and juicier just at the crust.
Still, the contact grill produces dryish stripes in places of strong contact with the ribbed surface due to the pressure of the top panel.
And these stripes, in my opinion, somewhat spoil the taste of the meat itself. For a long time I fell out of love with these stripes, I find it dearer just a beautiful uniform crust.
Ninzi has no pressure on a piece of meat from above, the pattern is obtained due to the weight of the piece itself, and these stripes do not "stick out" so much either in taste or in appearance.
The look of the Ninzi steak itself is more natural, if I may say so, naturally fried, like from the grill.
By the way, they smoke both grills. Even when Ninja was working alone, the window had to be urgently opened.
More juice was released in Delonge, but in Ninza it could simply evaporate inside and burn out, which is probably what happens.
Both steaks seemed juicy and tasty. It is necessary to adapt to both grills - to draw up a temperature table for different thicknesses of different meat and fish. Each needs its own table, since the algorithm is not the same.
By functions, it is clear that the devices are different, each has its own additional charms.
Dehydrator and pastries at Ninzi versus great waffles, the ability to fry on two panes at the same time at Delonge. By the way, at Delonge you can lift the top panel for some imitation of "contactlessness".
I use this option for heating sandwiches and pancakes, baking cheese cakes and making hot sandwiches with a fluid filling.
Both grills are easy to clean, but if on a Delonge grill, both panels are removed with one hand movement, placed at an angle on the wall of the sink, and all carbon deposits are washed off simply with a brush. Then the water flows down and you put them back. There is no need to hold and rinse the panels a hundred times.
Ninja has a very heavy grill insert, it needs to be turned over, rinsed from all sides.
So also the lower pan must be washed, not to mention that the upper mesh covering the heating elements must be washed. Especially after fish and shrimp, as the smell still eats in.

I plan to compare both grills on the same products after NG.
And as they like to say here, I love both of them dearly and will not give them to anyone!
Of course, due to circumstances, everything was prepared in a hurry. I will repeat after NG, I will cut one thick piece into two parts for the purity of the experiment, I will try to make the output the same temperature to compare the cuts.
If you have questions and nuances, then ask, I will try to take them into account and answer.
Happy girls and boys! Good steaks to you, and, most importantly, more money for them and stronger health to enjoy them!: Drinks_milk:

[Rada-dms]

Rada-dms,
Thanks for the comparison! The Ninja steak is prettier and juicier due to the thinner crust. The contact grill presses the meat and this is its minus, in my opinion. I am not special in steaks and I gave my contact grill without making friends with him.



Today I also made something like a comparison. Remember, my fig steak knows which part of the cow is grilled. It turned out not quite with a sole and with a thermometer one could count on the best result, but without it the steak turned out to be edible. To perfection to him as to Jupiter, but still some kind of steak turned out. I had two more steaks left, I put them in the freezer. And today I decided to try the method of cooking frozen steaks in Fudik. The result is two soles. An unsuccessful result is also a result. Now I know that it is not clear what meat, perhaps not at all suitable for a steak, will be fried in the Grill until it is edible.

[Prank]

Prank, Nadia, the breasts turned out awesome, I couldn't even find other words!

Catwoman, the chicken looks stunning! Good dinners there!

Irina S, Ira, so I would not even have guessed to make steaks from hearts! Thanks for the idea, my husband loves them very much.

helenanik, I am taking fish in mushroom sauce into service! Indeed, fast and tasty!

Cvetaal, Svetochka, I was surprised with a pie, it turned out very interesting and unbeatable, but it looks like a plus!

helenanik, Lena, it's great that you can bake two at once, show me the cutter next time. I also dream of trying high uniforms.

In short, I admired it, fixed everything, I felt like eating, but went to sleep - to develop willpower!

[Rada-dms]

Rada-dms, I would eat now, one. Or even with a half. I will not master two
I'll have to buy meat tomorrow, I really have a tefal grill, but you want to eat, everything will go

[Lerele]

Lerele, this is how to see how it goes, and what we will eat with them. We'll leave the peasants or we'll figure it out ourselves

[Rada-dms]

Rada-dmsThank you for such a detailed comparison of the two grills! I was very much waiting for him
Everything is gorgeous described. While reading, there was a feeling that I personally tried them
I am very glad that Ninja did not disappoint and turned out to be a worthy rival to Delongy. And then I was tormented by doubts until the last moment, maybe I shouldn't have ordered a grill for Santa Claus in vain? , maybe you should have grilled Delongy? Of course, I understand that these are slightly different devices, but the main thing I found out for myself. Ninja is no worse in terms of steaks
Now I will sleep well.
I look forward to further experiments! It's a pleasure to read you!



Irina S, and you cooked steaks without a temperature probe?

Potatoes, almost fries. (20 minutes, mixed several times). The potatoes were cut into 12x12 cubes on the Alligator. Sprinkled with olive oil, salt and garlic pepper. Cooking in a crispy pan.

Sveta, I found your recipe for potatoes, tell me how to do it so that without frying, it looks almost like poppy seeds, but they ask me just this, what was the temperature?

Nadia cooked potatoes in a multicast pan, not in the Grill. Air Crisp mode, T-210 or 200 (when like), time 15-20 minutes with preheat for 10 minutes. The time depends on the amount of potatoes. Cut with an alligator insert 12x12 mm. Dried with paper towels, folded into a bowl, sprinkled with olive oil and seasonings, tossed and placed in a crispy saucepan (or double boiler). In the process, I mixed it several times. It rustles when ready. Indeed, very similar to McDonald's. I haven't cooked it in the Grill yet, but it roasts harder there. Two Lenas were showing.

show the cutter next time.

Ol, this is the problem - very gentle, only with a fork
In small molds it is normal, but in a little more it does not work out to cut, but very tasty. MB needs to bake more, but I'm afraid to dry

[Rada-dms]

Rada-dms, Olga, thanks for the detailed comparison of Grills! I have no delonga and will no longer have it)). There is Steba, but he has long been pushed into the far corner of the closet). I love ninja)).

Sveta, thanks! I cut with an alligator 6 mm, I will try to cut with a large nozzle. Girls, do you think you need to slow down the pace? or time?
The other day I tried eggplant rolls with filling inside, apparently cottage cheese-garlic herbs, very tasty and they are so plump, neat, it is clear that they fried in a pan with a ton of oil, I never get it. Please advise how best to make a grill. On aircrisp or grilled, how to cut thinly?

I cut with an alligator 6mm

Nadia, as for me, these are very thin pieces, they will have to be mixed more often, as a result they will break. If you reduce the temperature below 200 degrees, then a crispy crust will not form on the potatoes. I'm talking about thick bars, I didn't cut so thinly. Maybe I'm wrong, let the girls fix it.

And I bake eggplants for rolls in the oven, cut into plates 5, maximum 7 mm thick, brush with olive oil. I have the Thermogrill mode, as they begin to brown slightly, which means they are ready. In Ninza, I would not make such blanks - there are not enough slices to fit.

Irina S, did you cook steaks without a temperature probe?

Without. My core probe is still on the way. It works well in the Grill and without a core temperature probe. I roasted fish, pork, lamb, turkey hearts and beef. It is like on the grill! He will not disappoint you, it is 100%

[caprice23]

caprice23, lost her mind? I am generally amazed how you have the patience not to print it out))))

Marinated the knuckle just in tomato brine, under pressure for 25 minutes

Smeared with a mixture of butter, Worcestershire, garlic, pepper and maple syrup (thanks to Svetik for the know-how), air crisp 10 minutes:

By the way, the silicone tube for removing steam did not allow to gain pressure, we had to interrupt the program and remove, apparently, not for our saucepan accessory

caprice23, lost your mind? I am generally amazed at how you have the patience not to print))

And no one else gave it to me. Hidden somewhere lies

I put the second batch to dehydrate, cut each tangerine into 3 parts, those are only 9 tangerines
