The Ninja 5-in-1 Grill & Air Fryer EG351UK excels in delivering a wide range of cooking results with efficiency and convenience. Its core strength lies in its ability to bring authentic chargrilled flavor indoors.
Grilling: Achieve picture-perfect grill marks and a genuine char on items like smash burgers, chicken breasts, salmon fillets, or grilled halloumi and mushroom burgers. The high-heat grill plate sears quickly, locking in juices and flavors. It's also excellent for vegetables, adding blistered char to peppers or asparagus.
Air Frying: Transform everyday snacks and sides into healthier, crispy delights. Produce French fries with up to 75% less fat than traditional deep frying, or achieve a delightfully crisp crunch on falafels, tofu, or chicken wings with little to no oil.
Roasting: Cook larger items efficiently. Enjoy a juicy and tender herby spatchcocked chicken, lamb roast, or flavorful harissa roasted cauliflower. The appliance cooks up to 50% faster than a conventional fan oven for these types of dishes.
Baking: Utilize the 5.7L Cooking Pot to bake a variety of sweet and savory dishes. This includes classic potato Dauphinoise, a light and fluffy lemon drizzle cake, or a hearty toad in the hole.
Dehydrating: Create healthy, homemade snacks by dehydrating fruit slices, meat jerky, or vegetable crisps, perfect for families or meal prep.
Smart Cook System: This feature significantly simplifies cooking meats and fish. By inserting the digital cooking probe, the appliance automatically monitors temperature, ensuring consistent results like perfectly flaky fish or tender, juicy chicken, removing the guesswork and preventing overcooking. This system can even be used for reheating leftovers to optimal temperature and texture.
In practical use, the appliance's powerful heating and circulating air technology mean less time standing over a hot stove and more consistent, delicious outcomes. Its non-stick surfaces also contribute to an easier cooking process and quicker cleanup.
