All the gear, and no idea!
Simple question, which is the best and most versatile of these two whilst on ehu?
I know the halogen cookers are fairly good and quite cheap, the ninja range of cooking machines I know nothing about🤷‍♂️👍
 
So which ninja is the weapon of choice to cook a nice dinner🤷‍♂️ I must admit I’m clueless on them!
Asking for Mrs Westy 😉
 
Isn't "air-fryer" the new marketing term for the old halogen ovens? ;)
 
’Cylindrical fan oven’ sounds just like my halogen oven………..;)

Just bought a Ninja Foodie for home got the big 7.5 Lt one, it's big and heavy but it's great, got it to replace a multi-cooker where the nonstick bowl had, had it.
Great to be able to eat chips without feeling guilty for all the fat consumption.

Looked at the small one for the van but would need a bigger inverter & more batteries (can't really get a fourth in and don't want to go to Lithium yet) and it is the same footprint as the big one just a bit lower. So too big for the van also the pressure/slow cook lid is a big bit of kit that needs to be stored separately.

The Ninja replaced the halogen oven. Similar in concept but does one heck of a lot more, quicker and better in my experience. Easy to clean as well
 
Halogen - about £35

Airfryer - from £60 approx

I have both - air fryer gets far more use

Ninja - about £150

We had a halogen and when it blew up we invested in the Ninja. We do take it away in the motorhome when we know we are on hook up and it is brilliant. Downside is that it is heavy and the lid that you need for the slow cooker and pressure cooker functions is separate to the main unit. I don't bother taking it abroad as most time the electric trips when using it because of the amperage of the site.

The pressure cooker lid is a bit of a pain but luckily I have a lot of storage space. Still discovering new ways of cooking with it. My ex captain friend uses his to cook steaks but I have not yet dared to do so
 
We've got an InstantPot for the house. In most cases, you can fry stuff first to get some nice flavours, then pressure cook something in 10 minutes that would normally take an hour to simmer. We've had it for a couple of years and use it every week. I think there's now also a version that can 'air fry' (AKA oven) cook too? Although ours does have a raised basket included and I've roast chicken in it before, so I'm not sure what the difference is?

I'm rarely on hook-up though, so I didn't think about being able to use one... but if I ever get my Lithium setup working, the smaller InstantPots are only 700w, so that's doable?

We have this one. It cooks just about everything: thick rump steaks in a six minutes (210C), wonderful roast potatoes, and a full English if you want!
Except the eggs...

Probably (possibly) the same as the one we've got Broken Link Removed

Best kitchen appliance I've bought since the marriage licence!(y);)

However thinking we may upscale, no not the wife - the Ninja, to the Broken Link Removed as there's four of us. Had thought about "relegating" the AF300 to the motorhome but at around 10A draw could give fun and games with EHU.

Cleaning was mentioned. We often use these greaseproof inserts if heavy soiling is anticipated!

Immediately the food is out the drawers with other half serving up the trays and drawers are in the hot soapy water and wiped clean before any residue congeals \ solidifies. Just be extremely careful though as they're bl**dy hot!:whistle2:

There are Facebook groups with recipe ideas. I’m quite a fan of it tbh but like you still learning.
 
We have the ninja foodie and the ninja xl grill...oh and a few other bits.
The ninjas are power hungry. We have used the XL grill when on hook up. You have to make sure you don't put anything else on at the same time or you will now the electric.
The ninjas cook much quicker than anything else and are very versatile :giggle:
