Maybe once a sjef but speaking so much bullshit you have degrated yourself to the level of a cook. By the way, any Springbok supporter can feed more people than you would be able to achieve.

    I bought my Ninja directly from them. Started great then developed an intermittent problem that switches the machine off. This is regardless of whether using the probe or any other programme. As I took my Ninja out of the UK despite it only being a few months old Shark /Ninja won't honour the 2 year guarantee. All in all not happy with them and certainly wouldn't recommend their product. However, I do like the reviews where it's important to acknowledge all that's good and bad with the product or company. What a pity the customer service department from Ninja don't want to acknowledge the problems..

    Wow great video. I've just bought this air fryer today. I've always had a really negative view on air fryers because all I saw was people cooking chips and nuggets in them, however I was still curious 😅 Over the last few weeks I've seen videos of people baking, making whole chickens etc... which is what convinced me to try, but this video is even better, I'm so excited to try some of these recipes out! (P.s do you ever use the temperature probe? Does it work outside of the prob setting just to check the temp of something at the end of cooking?)

    • @BigSpud
      @BigSpud 5 днів тому

      Yes it's unfortunate they have a reputation as a chicken-nugget-warmer. They really can replace a lot of your oven / grill functions if you think a bit creatively, and I think Jamie's series really highlights the potential. I do use the probe occasionally - for meats and baking. It's very effective. I reviewed it more fully here ua-cam.com/video/FmqTd3SRkIE/v-deo.html
