Q: Will this fit a whole chicken?

submitted by Mindy - 6 years ago
  • A: I would say that, in general, this air fryer is not large enough to fit a whole chicken.

    submitted bycat - 5 years ago
  • A: Deep will be top to bottom depth, whereas diameer will be across, front to back

    submitted byVC - 5 years ago
  • A: Deep is from top to bottom.

    submitted byMidnight - 4 years ago
  • A: The food goes into a drawer that is not a circle shape. Look at the pictures for this model and other brands - the drawers are all about the same shape.

    submitted byBeth4info - 3 years ago
  • A: Hello Mindy, We would like to inform you that the dimensions of the inner pot, for the Ninja® 4qt Air Fryer, are 8.5 inches in diameter and 4.5 inches deep. If the chicken is small enough to fit, then you can cook it. We hope this information helps. The Customer Support Team

Q: Does this air fryer bake as well?

submitted by Gata33 - 6 years ago
  • A: Correction to this response from the Cust. Support Team. This model does NOT always have the Roast function. Depends on where you buy it as they make different versions for different Sellers.

    submitted byarlinek - 2 months ago
  • A: Roasting = Baking. But instead of veggies or meats, its sweets.

    submitted byRoaster - 5 years ago
  • A: Again, a confusing and contridictory answer. Someone is saying you can bake anything (without explaining how as there is no listed cooking fuction) and then the team responds with the list of the cooking functions (that doesn't include baking) without answering the question which I would have to take to mean, "your guess is as good as mine" or "you can try it but we aren't advising anything or without advising how one might try to bake cookies or anything) I would think the true answer is more like you would have to experiment depending on what you're baking.

    submitted bychellamia - 5 years ago
  • A: Yes you can bake anything. Mac and Cheese - cakes- little pies.

    submitted bytoto - 6 years ago
  • A: Hello Gata33, We would like you to know that the Ninja® 4qt Air Fryer has 4 cooking functions. They are Air Fry, Roast, Reheat, and Dehydrate. We hope this information helps. The Customer Support Team

Q: Do you have to preheat this air fryer before cooking?

submitted by Laura - 3 years ago
  • A: Preheat of 3 minutes at 350 degrees is recommended. By the time you have the food ready, the preheat is done.

    submitted byRayK - 3 years ago
  • A: We do suggest that you preheat the air fryer for an even crispy finish.

Q: are all the materials it is made of safe and non-toxic?

submitted by Nancy - 6 years ago
  • A: I bought this product and then read about BPA in the product. Is this an issue with Ninja Air Fryers only, or all leading brand Air Fryers have the same issue? Why don't other Fryers have Cal Proposition 65 listed? This is very confusing, please clarify.

    submitted byBlue King - 5 years ago
  • A: Hello Nancy, We are happy to inform you that the basket and crisper plate for the Ninja® 4qt Air Fryer are both made out of aluminum and have a non-stick ceramic coating. The ceramic coating is PTFE-free, FDA approved and food safe. We hope this information helps. The Customer Support Team

    submitted byNinja Community Support - 6 years ago
    Brand expert
  • A: This reportedly has BPA per California's disclosure. This answer is not very honest.

    submitted byHonest Answer - 6 years ago

Q: can i put frozen french fries in it? ans fry them without thawing out first?

submitted by Laura - 3 years ago
  • A: Yes and they turn out really well. I got rid of my deep fryer and made Ore-Ida french fries in 10 minutes using this Ninja. Much faster then using the over and a whole lot better tasting and texture

    submitted byRayK - 3 years ago
  • A: Yes you can!

Q: Does this Ninja 4qt AF101 come with the metal rack seen in the video? It is not seen in other pictures or the written details. It was included last year when we bought ours and now want to give it as a gift.

submitted by Jake - 3 years ago
  • A: Mine DID NOT come with the metal rack! That's the whole reason I went with this one. Not happy!

    submitted byNot Happy - 2 years ago

  • A: If you get this version and not the larger, use the roasting feature but you may need to alter the time/temp. You may have to do that anyways even if you get the larger version.

    submitted byRoaster - 5 years ago

Q: Can I put aluminum foil in the button of the cooking ware while cooking? It's safe?

submitted by Tina - 5 years ago

    I gave it 2 stars due to the plastic smell it releases when in use. I am also able to smell it & taste in the food. I’ve done some researched, some folks say it goes away after some uses but I can still smell it after a month of use. However, the food does cook well and quick. I will be returning it..

    Hi Jessica, Thank you for sharing your experience with the Ninja Air Fryer. We’re sorry to hear about the plastic smell you’ve experienced during use, and we understand how this could impact your enjoyment of the product, even though the food cooks well and quickly. The odor you’re describing is sometimes associated with new appliances and typically dissipates after a few uses. If it has persisted for a month, it may require additional attention. We recommend ensuring all components have been thoroughly washed with warm soapy water and running the unit empty at a high temperature for 20-30 minutes to help dissipate any residual odors. If you’ve already decided to return it, we appreciate you giving Ninja a try. Should you have any further questions or need assistance, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us at 1-800-365-0135. Kind regards, Ninja Kitchen

    I bought decided to purchase an air fryer after a waitress told me this was the best way to reheat foods that were restaurant leftovers, mentioning that fried foods come back crisp using an air fryer. I searched specifically for one that had "air crisp" technology, with the expectation that foor would remain crisp. I used it to reheat fried seafood, and didn't find that to be the case. While it did thoroughly heat the food in a short amount of time - without changing the texture the way a microwave does - the food did not come out "crisp". I did play around with various temperature settings and time durations. Overall, the outter layer of the batter/coating/skin was "fairly" crisp at best, while the inner side of the skin remained soft, close to mushy. Had I heated it longer, the actual meat would have dried out. Needless to say, I've had far better results warming food in my wall convection oven unit. This is just for quick warming, which I can do with my microwave. I can also depend on an oven if I want food to remain crisp.
