    Just a quick tip to try and keep your Ninja clean. Add 2 heaped teaspoons of bicarbonate of soda onto the crisper plate which is sat inside the combi pan. I used around 2 tablespoons of lemon juice out of a yellow lemon juice bottle, or use 1 lemon cut into quarters. Pour a kettle of boiling water into the combi pan and place into level 1. Set to steam and the time to 40 minutes. This should hopefully clean your Ninja interior. Just wipe out with a damp cloth, but don't get burnt. Your combi pan should be full of brown liquid or dry, which cleans away easily with warm soapy water. Hope this helps.

      This is a good question, the only hurdle is cooking rice/pasta first the combi meals where it is hard to reduce quantities in the big dish. I came to the conclusion you would have to buy a smaller non-stick dish to put in the large combi pan to do it, but other than that yes.

    Dear Clara, what would you suggest for a small 2+2 family to start their own healthy cooking (small kitchen with not enough space for multiple devices)? One of air fryers or this combi cooker? it looks very versatile, maybe more than regular airfryer? My one concers with airfryers is their antistick layer (both on the baskets and on the insides of those devices), I preffer enamel or steel. I have seen many reviews of airfryers, but this combi creature is not that popular. Can it do everything that airfryer can plus its own tricks (baking, steam cooking etc)?

    • @CandidClara
      @CandidClara  Місяць тому

      Yes it can do everything an air fryer can, but be aware the combo pan still has a non-stick coasting. Very hard to recommend a particular model, but you won’t go wrong with Ninja, Cosori or Philips 😁

      I suppose I could use the air fry dish on the Combi to make a couple of massive yorkies and carve them up? Decisions decisions😬. It is mostly for solo cooking so I am veering toward this model.

    Unless I’m being even more stupid than usual, what I don’t get and I have tried different combos of water, is when you try cutting the recipe down for 2 people, it just doesn’t work. The rice ends up sticking to the bottom of the pan. The booklet just mentions, very briefly, that you could cut the recipe in half but that would still have made it far too much, as it was for 6 to 8 servings - no mention of how you adjusted the water amounting proportion to the main ingredients. Can anybody help?

      I was told it's to counteract the acidity of the tomatoes, so I guess there are multiple theories 🤷

    • @hottuna2006
      @hottuna2006 3 місяці тому

      @@CandidClara More than one thing can be correct at the same time. The lactic acid in milk can tenderize meat and its higher pH can balance the acidity of the tomatoes as well. It also adds fat to make the sauce richer and creamier and gives it a smoother mouthfeel. It's not a necessary ingredient but it does make a noticeable difference and I prefer my Bolognese with it. I should add that I've never made it with the Ninja and always use my Dutch oven as I think a long slow cook in an open pot is necessary to evaporate the water from the milk to leave the tasty solids behind as well as to concentrate flavours.

      Isn't it crazy how bad bread tastes when you forget the salt? I agree about the untested recipes, but I wonder if it's backed up with research, do they perhaps know that most people don't cook from it?! I'm not sure, but perhaps they know something we don't! I like doing everything properly, but maybe that's why I'm not a squillionaire? 😂
