Anybody got a Ninja ?

You won't regret it. It does lovely chicken wings or thighs, all charred and crispy as if you'd BBQ'd them.

Using one's ' Foodi 9 ' we made an orange flavoured cake last Sunday to take to one's seriously poorly bestest mate but it turned out like wartime bread pudding. So ... is super stodgy caused by overcooking or too much liquid ?

Are there any cake makers reading this who could possibly shed some light on our mishap ?

[Mervyn and Trish]

You could buy a proper oven? Just saying....

I can’t but I’ll provide the torch if it helps

My sister has just purchased a ninja and thinks it's great...she also said they are selling out fast in her location (Redditch)

We've got two full sized ovens, a microwave and a Ninja but still can't cook the b***** cake

Skimmed. It is important that you add fat free/skimmed milk rather than full fat. It is thinner and thick milk will stop the cake from being moist

You can thank me latter

I believe the supermarket sells cake.

My sister-in-law bought one of the large Ninjas a few months ago. She isn't someone who goes in for gadgets. She and my brother-in-law are really impressed with all the different things that can be cooked in it. As the time taken is far less than in an oven they also think they will be saving on their utilities bill. I won't be buying one a I don't think it's really useful for a person on their own, but for a family or a couple it seems from what I've seen that it could be a sensible buy.

The only liquid required was orange juice ... I assumed it was totally fat free

Well, there’s your answer…You BURNT IT

My sister paid in the region of £129 for hers and said it does everything she want although she is still experimenting…she did baked potatoes the other day saying all she did was rub spuds with a very small amount of oil and they came out crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, as did the chips she cooked.

Just made the Mk2 version ... less liquid, lower temperature, shorter duration and less volume.

Could be yummy or crumby

I've high hopes that you'll have cracked it this time…not literally of course.

Not quite, very tasty mind but there's still room for improvement. Basically Mobietta needs a new mixer to beat more air into the cakes and next time I will place the cake tin directly onto the pot.

More fun that making chips but it made a hell of a job on Aunt Bessie's Duck Fat Roast Potatoes

Practice makes perfect, that’s why I leave all that sort of Ninja thing to Mrs S

If I got a ninja would he mow my lawn?

How do these Ninjas cope with heating ready meals, do they cook them as well as a normal oven?

Not a problem but the meal(s) would of course need to fit on the rack within the Ninja bowl.

Our Ninja can operate as a conventional or a fan oven so anything that can be done in a regular oven can be done in the Ninja. As a rule of thumb the cooking instructions on the ready meal pack would need to be reduced by 10% for the temperature and 20% for the duration. It could be achieved on the Bake / Roast or the Air Crisp settings.
