1. Ninja Foodi FlexDrawer – Best oven alternative
If you’re looking to reduce your oven usage, the Ninja Foodi FlexDrawer is a fantastic alternative. Its standout feature is the ability to combine its two 5.2-litre cooking spaces to create a 10.4-litre ‘megazone’ for larger dishes like roasts and full-size cakes.
In comparison to its US counterpart, the FlexBasket air fryer, the UK model offers a larger 7QT capacity and includes a ‘prove’ cooking mode. Despite this difference, the FlexBasket is still a highly recommended option for air frying enthusiasts.
The FlexDrawer also allows you to use the two cooking areas independently, similar to a dual-zone air fryer. It offers all the essential functions you would expect, including match and sync features for convenient dual-drawer cooking.
With seven cooking modes – max crisp, air fry, roast, bake, reheat, dehydrate, and prove – the FlexDrawer caters to a variety of cooking needs. It comes with a helpful manual containing recipes and a cooking chart with recommended times and temperatures, making it ideal for beginners in air frying.
Despite its power, the FlexDrawer’s controls and digital display are user-friendly and intuitive, reducing the need to constantly refer to the manual. Once you adjust your recipes for its high power, you can enjoy evenly cooked and crispy dishes.
