And they were different types. And I had pretty much the same thought. They’re coming up with so many different products.😊

    Cleaning Device: After cooking is completed and food is removed from the Combi casserole pan, clean pan and then place 3-cups of water. Place pan back in unit on lowest level. Select Steam; allow unit to run full 10m. DO NOT power off unit. Take pan out. Shut door. You should see “dry” on screen. Select Start. Unit will run Dry Cycle for 3m. When finished, allow unit to cool down and wipe with soft absorbent drying towel.

    I have come back to say overall this is my favorite ninja appliance ever. Just white rice turns out so better than either instant pot or the foodi smart lid. It can fit a personal pizza, and it actually crisps the bottom. And after you do a combi meal you wipe the stainless steel walls right off and when you close the door the unit will dry itself off for a couple minutes by circulating the fan. And seeing the food cook through the window is *chefs kiss*

      How do you clean the top of the inside?

    • @TheOnlyChrisB
      @TheOnlyChrisB 8 місяців тому +5

      Yes since owning the oven i noticed the top is difficult to clean like most ninja products. Not as bad as my ninja grill but not as easy as the smart lid foodi.
      To clean the combi i use the steam setting for a few minutes. The hack i found is i bought a small blender cleaning brush that fits close to the fan blades. Sometimes i scrub with a little dawn soap, then i wipe down with a towel. Then steam setting for another couple minutes and dry with a towel. If you want it super dry use the air fry setting for about a minute or two after youre done.
      It sounds crazy but its not… maybe 60 seconds of scrubbing 10 minutes in total clean time (steam/air fry). To me the ninja grill is the the best air fryer, the ninja foodi is make soups/bone broth/ribs but overall the ninja combi does many things extremely well imo.

    You guys do great reviews thanks for showing the different products unbiased, I like the concept of this I can see people in the future using an appliance such as this as the main source of cooking meals but honestly it lacks the size we would need for our six member family.

    • @TheAverageKitchen

      @mahamtariq5962 10 місяців тому +7

      So that’s an interesting perspective bc I took a chance and got the combi when it first came out (no reviews available) and while I love love it, I def think it’s better suited for a family of 4-6 over one person. I use it mostly to meal prep for lunch bc then I can make a huge batch of food at once. I guess it depends on how many servings you are looking for but I def think it is intended for larger families then single people.

    Processional chef here. Milk is used in traditional bolognaise. Its wonderful!

  • @danporter2453
    @danporter2453 11 місяців тому +10

    Usually in a bolognese you would do a fine dice on the vegetables, so you’d have a more consistent sized sauce. I’m guessing after 4 hours a lot of the liquid would cook away. Cream is commonly added near the end of cooking a bolognese, so since you’re adding it at the beginning milk makes some sense. I think they have you sauté the tomato paste to develop the flavor of the paste. Whole tomatoes are often a higher quality product than diced. I like to only use tomato paste in a bolognese- the meat is the star.

    • @TheAverageKitchen

    Now this is what I have been waiting for. I just received mine yesterday and did 1st cook. You two are the best. I will end up ordering the dutch oven. :) The one thing I think Ninja should have added on this one would be a door release button. With Ninja (and Apple) it is always "just one more thing" :)

    A little bit of an explanation regarding the cooking the tomato sauce for one minute. In making sauces and stocks, you sautee tomato paste with the vegetables until it darkens slighty and becomes aromatic. The process is called pincage in french cooking.

  • @gayleopie6165

    Thanks for the info about the Ninja Combi. I have a Ninja Speedi, and I think, after watching your video, that I'm happier with my Speedi than I would be with the Combi. People talk about issues with the crisper tray in the Speedi, but I've never had a problem with it. I remove items from the tray if I want to remove it during cooking. It takes almost no time to remove two or three chicken breasts so they don't fall into the bottom pot. I didn't like the front-opening door on the Combi and the fact that you must remove the trays and put them back filled with food, sometimes hot food. I had been wondering about the Combi, but now, seeing it, I'm happy with my Speedi.

    • @TheAverageKitchen
      @TheAverageKitchen  16 днів тому +1

It looks great & the reviews on this one are much better than the one I did have which was awful to try & clean, so glad I came across your review 😀

    I've used milk or heavy cream in a lasagna soup before. It turned out really good. It had hot Italian sausage, vegetable stock, garlic, Italian seasoning, a can of diced tomatoes, a jar of marinara sauce, a little cream, ricotta cheese, broken up lasagna noodles and some fresh mozzarella. The cream kind of mellowed out the citrus from the tomatoes making it more of a comfort food.

      Thanks for the insight. I can tell you, we’ve reviewed probably 25 ninja products and I use their recipes as guidelines as many of the exact recipes we’ve done of theirs did not turn out well. I certainly don’t understand how extra sauce would change anything in a recipe…. The for watching. Marc

      @@TheAverageKitchen How about review the item and the receipt just ass it is. Then if it turns out terrible then do another review with your changes that makes it better and give your better receipt. So the only reason I’m going down this line with you because not all people can do what you are doing with these add ones or changes. I do elder care and when looking at these different machines we are looking at durability, ease of use, how is the cook book written and is the food of some quality. I totally understand that criticism sometimes isn’t fun but we all get it and for me it’s kind of a growing pain feeling but I know it’s part of life for me. Definitely when dealing with the elderly.

    I got the ninja health and grill XL. I live on my own and have never been a good cook.
    That machine has changed me life.
    I used to eat takeaway food. Hated cooking , now I love it. It will literally cook anything. Only thing I need the cooker for is the odd times I've cooked a large pizza. However I've found a hack with pizza.
    Cut it before hand to fit, place one half on The baking tray and cook at 200 Celsius for 6 mins, depending on depth. Then do the other half.
    I'm tempted now to buy this.
    Especially the Casserole side of things..
    Only thing though you didn't try and Cooke chicken and fries so they come out the same time.
    Can anyone answer this please. Thank you.

    • @TheAverageKitchen

    I feel the smart onelid with pressure cooker is a better appliance and probably the best all in one that ninja ever created. This is just another way to remove the pressure cooker functionality away to make them sell their pressure cookers separately.

    I cooked in my combi for the first time, spaghetti & chicken thighs and think speedi worked better. Spaghetti with 2 cups chicken broth and 1 jar spaghetti sauce with broken up chop meat came out kind of dry with some spaghetti burned together. I had to add little water at end to loosen it up. Thighs were cooked on top tray, 6 with skin on and it was swimming in it's own juices. 20 minutes on combi baking so what I found. If your making any coated meat better be skinless or juices will prevent it from crisping unlike in the speedi had no problem. Spaghetti should have broken in half and altered directions so wouldn't pack down. Looks like speedi technics aren't fully transferable to combi

    Idk. When I try to mind cook this thing I think gloving up and taking trays out and finding a spot to put them everytime would get old. Not all of us have marble countertops :) it looks really nice but this isn’t an oven where you set something inside let it go for 4 hours and don’t touch it. Seems there’s not pre manipulating of the layers etc to me. I think the top down approach of the speedy wins but again that’s just mind cooking on it

  • @krisbedgood6055

    The ninja pressure cooker steam fryer with smart lid can literally do any type of cooking including "speedi meals". You can literally copy the speedi meal recipes with the steam fry function. However, the ninja speedi cant pressure cook. The combi cooker, while similar to the speedi, cant sauté or slow cook. Why would anybody want these lesser cookers.

    • @TheAverageKitchen
      @TheAverageKitchen  11 місяців тому +1

      Great point, I have the smart lid, use it all the time. It’s roughly twice the price of the Speedi and Combi. The Combi CAN sautee and slow cook.

    This thing is awesome. Got it about a week ago and I have been only using this the entire time. Can cook a rice/pasta - veggie - steak/chicken meail in 20 mins without using anything else. The whole family loves it. Have been getting empty plates. My only question is is that, is there a difference between Combi Meal and Combi Crisp setting? I can’t figure it out. I should probably cook the same 3 level meal in both settings to see if there is a difference. Never tried doing the carb - veggie - protein in the Combi Crisp setting. Wondering if things would get crisper.

    • @TheAverageKitchen

    • @IceCat143

      So, I tried cooking a meal in Combi Crisp setting. Rice on the bottom and steak on top level along with some veggies. Rice came out dryer compared to the Combi Meal setting. Steak was about the same as Combi Meal setting. Seems like it uses more of the air fryer function. I also asked the same question on Ninja’s YT channel and they didn’t recomment using the Combi Crisp for combi meals. I would say following their instructions yield better results.
