Sausages cooked using the Ninja 

So pleased for you ! I have quite a few men subscribers who now find cooking a lot easier !! I always say start simple and build your confidence and simply cook the things you like! I love lamb chops done in the ninja and chicken oh and roasties are wonderful ! You can even buy frozen roasties if it suits you more ! Everyone has a different lifestyle and there is nothing wrong with frozen , I love my freezer , keeps all my goodies in it . Enjoy xxxx

Ear wax removal

Running car on it as well

😂😂

Cheaper than diesel!

Dry elbows 😀

Thank you that’s really nice of you to let me know xx

Just take your time with it and start easy and build up to other things when you feel used to it xxx

I have had some people say it is disgusting 😂😂 but we like it xxxx

@@cookingwithsusie no it’s stunning, love it.

That is a very good idea ! I do often put small tubs of food in the freezer that is big enough as a single portion so if one of us is out there are always some easy meals just to heat up , I had not thought of sausages though . Thanks for commenting xx

and saves electric..

@@cowgirl.4363 excactly, that’s what we need to do xx

Hi Susie i think your vids are the most informative so as weather is so vile I'm going to binge on your videos so thank you so much.....useful tips a plenty glad I found you 😍😍😍😍

I do this as i live alone 😄😄😄😄

Thank you and hope you love it when your new kitchen goes in . Very exciting a new kitchen . You must put a picture up , make me jealous 😂. I love putting clips us I see it as a way of sharing , I have learnt so much from other you tubers xxxx

Thank you Keith xx

Hope you love it xx

Excellent you have it sorted !! Must admit I would really miss my ninja xxx

Thank you so much and I hope you really enjoy your airfryer xx

@@cookingwithsusie thank you I will do xx

Oh well done !! Just always take your time and just keep checking your food , people that walk away from food to do a little job end up with burned food sometimes 😂 . If food seems to be cooking to quickly just turn the temperature lower and always remember your heat is coming from the top so it is easy to burn things ! Try a burger next they are delicious xxxx

Hi Tommy , you make a good point ! Although if I am cooking things like fish I don’t shake it but I do however turn it ! Maybe it is time someone developed a shake system 😂 although think it would be noisy and huge ! Thanks for watching x

The new corsori doesn't need shaking it heats from top and bottom.

@@annecdavies1350 oh that’s interesting! Let me know how you find it xx

Just move them around with a wooden spatula

Hi Jeff I love my dual draw ninja and I really believe that they will support each other . Thanks for commenting xxx

Thank you Michael, that really means a lot ! I really hope you and your girlfriend have a wonderful Christmas xxx

@@cookingwithsusie thank you susie, I can't wait to get Brussels spouts with bacon lardons, roast potatoes, pigs I blankets, as I said the ninja foodi is a game changer. Good look with yours, have fun.

@michaellyne8773 thank you have a wonderful Christmas xxx

Thank you Crissy , mine is the smaller one 300 model , depending on your family you may like the bigger 400 model xxx

@@cookingwithsusie Hi I have got the AF400

@@crissy9792 wished I had 😂😂xx

So pleased you love it , we really enjoy ours . I must be honest I hardly use any oil in it ! Although I am really glad you found a way of using your oil with no waste, great tip ! Thank you so much for subscribing and continue enjoy your ninja xx

Don’t throw the spray bottle just clean and refill with olive oil. Have done this for years!

It is the difference of the speed of the fans ! Air fryers fans are at there fastest in air fry mode . They slow down for roast and bake , the temperatures do have pre sets but you alter them to what you want . If that make sense xxx

@@cookingwithsusie Thank you. This is very helpful to know. Based on instructions I saw for "hardboiled" eggs, I was trying to set the machine to 270F/132C and realized I could go down to 130C only in "Reheat" and "Roast" modes. I ended up doing 150C for 13 minutes, but I think 130C may have worked better. Next time, I will try "Roast" mode.

@@pequodexpress yes it takes a little bit of getting used to but once you understand how they work it is much simpler xx

Good to know xxx

Thanks for that Paul useful to know xx

Thank you x

I must admit I am very tempted to try another model now ! Just have a small kitchen so a bit stuck for space ! Thanks so much for commenting xx

You will love it 😍 we have bought a second ninja now as well and love them both. Enjoy , don’t get tied down by times just use your eyes and keep checking your food you will be fine xxx

I agree I did use it once and I felt things felt really sticky and stopped using it , I just brush things with a tiny amount of olive oil or oil of your choice and it has worked great for me . Xxx

@@cookingwithsusie thank you

Thank you xx

Oh I understand that ! All my friends had them before I got mine ! It was only energy prices that made me get one 😂 now I cannot think of being without it . Thank you for commenting xx

Yes you can , I have a ninja cake tin for my 15 in 1 and if you have cake tins that fit your airfryer they should work xxx

Thank you Mick, hope you enjoy your Ninja

That is really good to know thank you xx

Thank you and my Balsamic I get from waitrose as I live about 500 yards from it 😂 but I have been told you can buy it at Tesco too . Many thanks for you comment xx

You don’t get that feature on my ninja , but thanks for mentioning it xx

Have a yummy meal xxx

@@cookingwithsusie my sausages were scrummy no fat whatsoever..in fact best bangers ever indulged in ..but home made chips were awful ....cooked but pale and weird like they had produced another skin that was chewy and puffy...i added oil and salt but v little they were awful I needed to do an max crisp maybe like u said but they were nothing like yours....i soaked them too ! V disappointed ..! I think not enough oil as I only put on a tiny amount the spray is horrid stuff so that's ditched I'll do normal drizzling and change the settings about I will crack the chip dilemma!!!

@@Silverdale15 okay Carole it sounds like they were not dry enough ! They do need to be very dry or they can go chewy it is because if moist they steam instead of air fry which does make them chewy , my husband did them and his were so different to mine !! I think I need to put an edit about making sure they are very dry and I take it you did them on 200 degrees air fry Thank you for letting me know as I want people to enjoy them as much as we do , oh just thought the other thing that can happen is too many chips in the basket again caused steaming !!! At least bless you the sausages were good xxxx

@@cookingwithsusie hi Susie they were ultra dry in fact they were sat under paper in a drainer all day after soaking.....im actually thinking they didn't have enough oil as I did a one spray 1 cal thing it wasn't enough and I didn't like it so next time I'll use vegetable oil and use more ! They were too dry by a mile....so no brown Ness....ill have another go and maybe reheat and do a max crisp as well it's all a learning curve ! Keep u posted.....im not eating chips every day though !....

@@Silverdale15 oh I had a disaster with One Cal !!! It went strange on what I sprayed , try olive oil or some other oil next time fingers crossed xxx

No it really does not ! I have an old oven that takes about 20 mins to get to temperature, the ninja is instant heat and also so much smaller than an oven we have seen our electricity drop this year !! Xxx

Thank you. Great stuff.

Thank you Harry for commenting xx

If you are keeping bacon fat make sure you keep it in the fridge nice and cold I would keep it about two weeks then get rid of , it possibly would keep longer but I don’t like things like that hanging around long xxx

Enjoy xxxx

Hi , lots of people use foil and silicone paper in there airfryers without any damage and I can only speak for Ninja as that’s the only make I have but they state is some recipes to use foil to stop some things from drying out . I think with paper and the fact the heat elements are directly above there could be a fire risk but I am not certain !!! Sorry I cannot be of more help

@@cookingwithsusie Thank you for the answer.

I have always took the draws out and laid it on its back , got my throw away jay cloth in hot soapy water and washed round after every cook , you cannot get to the fans on mine! But you can wash round the elements. You have to be careful as I believe if you get a lot of water around in there it will break ! I make sure my cloth is not dripping wet and just rub round what I can dry with kitchen roll then stand it up and return draws and turn it on for a couple of minutes to make sure it has dried out .Ninja don’t give any real guide lines that I can find ! Think the secret is stay on top of it from new . Xx

I must admit I do love English sausages 😂xxx

The only one I ever use is Belazu Balsamic Vinegar of Modena and is currently on offer in Waitrose for £9.75 and lasts me about 9 months , it is normally about £14 xxx

I usually look at the packet and take there guidance for temperature, regards times that does vary if you have thick sausages they are going to take longer than skinny ones , I would say some thick sausages take 15 mins from frozen and skinny can take 10 mins but I always rely on my meat thermometer to make sure they are cooked inside I always look for above 70c on my sausages not too much above as they become dry quickly , I think that is about 162 f , poultry sausage is a bit higher 165 f xxx

Hi Sean, no you do not need to pre heat Nnja air fryers , I would agree with you , sausages do seem cook slightly differently depending on size and even brand ! I had a new sausage I tried last week from a farm shop , it cooked very quickly and I was not happy with the texture very lumpy with hard fat pieces! I would always recommend checking your sausages regularly and when they look done test them with a meat thermometer! Thanks for commenting

The cooking time of food in the dual Ninja takes longer if both baskets are in use. I found that a bit confusing when I was learning how to use mine. I actually found my fatter sausages took quite a lot longer when I had roast potatoes cooking in air fry mode in the other drawer. Quicker when 2nd tray was empty. Something to look out for when just learning.

@@loisbriggs5675 that is good to know Lois ! I have not had that happen but that may be because I have not tried doing different modes at the same time ! I do find my left basket is slightly hotter than the right ! Always good to share tips like this , thank you for sharing and commenting xxx

Trust me I am not rich enough especially now !! I buy there essential range , but lately I am visiting Tesco xxx

@@cookingwithsusie asda is the way to go 😊 good food and good costs 😊xx

@@Cam25-003 good to know

Hello Ross and hello Australia! My Husband spent 3 months in your amazing country! We hope one day to visit . Which part are you in ! Thanks for commenting xx

Hi Valerie I have the smaller 7.5 litre Ninja and it is perfect for two ! Although I often wish when the family are around it was the bigger one 😂 thanks for watching xx

Hi Lyne, I get mine from Waitrose, I have been told by one of my subscribers that Amazon has it as she lives in the top of Scotland and no waitrose. I have seen it some Delhi shops tooxx

I cooked frozen sausages the same way as fresh sausage using the airfry mode but I lower the temperature to 170 and it takes longer but it makes sure they are cooked right through xx

@@cookingwithsusie Thank you, I will try it 🙂👍

Hi Lynda, I bought mine from Waitrose but a lot of deli shops sell it also Amazon !. It is expensive but mine lasts me about 6 months they now do 3 types mine is about £15 but often comes on special at about £12.50 . They do a cheaper one which is two thin and not as good , they also do a £20 bottle which is amazing but I felt slightly too thick ! . Glad you enjoy the channel, thank you xxx

You could ! But quite honestly I think they are better on the rack inside pan , the fats then drip through to the bottom and your food is not soaking in fats . The glass dishes are great when you are cooking with fluids . I am going to be doing some individual lasagna and things like that . Thanks so much for the comment xxx

It just says in the ninja hand book no need to ! I have noticed a lot of others do pre heat but I have never needed to , I will have to give it a try , thanks for commenting xxx

Hi Michael mine is a small dual zone , I do roast chicken in it every week , I cut the chicken in half and it is the best chicken we have had . I also do small joints of meat . @buttlersempire this couple have just done a video of a few air fryers which might be good for you to watch , they have much more experience with other brands than I have as I only have Ninja and I do wish mine was the bigger model . Check them out they might help you xxx

@@cookingwithsusie thank you very much

Hi Lillian, I don’t think it can work like a grill as the fans blow constantly, but I am not expert !! Although often when doing sausages and bacon I do feel it is similar to grilling but it seems more controlled!! I love mine so I do hope you find you enjoy it . Also you did get it for a good price ! Always a bonus to get a bargain . Thanks for commenting xx

Have not tried that but I will and thank you for commenting xx

You are right but I have never had an issue but I never really take the oil to burn point .xxx

@cookingwithsusie 👍, I'm gonna get the brussel in the air fryer this Christmas, merry Xmas

Merry Christmas let me know how the Brussels work out xx

Hi Kev, mine is the small300 model , I now feel I wish I had the bigger 400 😂 thanks for commenting

Fantastic hope you love it xxx

Hi Angela, mine is the Smaller one the 300 , I think it is perfect for two . The only time I wish I had the bigger one is when family arrive . I love mine I find the brand really simple to work with ! I have been told the Cossori is a very good one and my friends have other that everyone seems to love ! I hope you get one and really enjoy it and thanks for commenting xx

I have now had mine a year , I paid £179 on a Black Friday deal with Amazon , it is worth shopping around though . Ate the sausages sorry 😂😂😂 thanks for the comments xx

@@cookingwithsusie 😊

Hi Carol, I bought mine from Waitrose , but Tesco also sells it and lots of delicatessen sell it too , thanks for watching xx

@@cookingwithsusie thanks very much I will. Get a bottle x

I totally get what you mean! I myself never like to use the tongs on raw food as I tend to put the tongs down and have found myself nearly picking up cooked food with tongs that had handled raw food . I never forget hand washing it is automatic to me, unlike when I lay tools down I can easily forget what I have done with them, that is unless I throw them straight into the dishwasher , it is a case of what works for you . The sausages are delicious. Xx

​@@cookingwithsusieI have a set of silicone tongs with red tips that I use for raw meat - I find it helps my brain remember these are the ones that I mustn't use on anything cooked! My other tongs are blue, so it's an obvious visual cue (I've got ADHD so I need all the help I can get)

@starilvara that is such a good idea , my tongs always go straight in the dishwasher I have about 6 sets of tongs but I love this idea ! They could sit beside my red boards for meat 🥩 thank you xxx

Thank you so much for a lovely comment xx

Love it xxxx

I am just really getting used to it now and it is a great machine , I cooked a beautiful chicken in it with the veg underneath , really lovely , so yes be a copycat and treat yourself 😂😂xxx

Hi David , when I lived on the farm we had a wonderful village butcher who I used for 20 years , sadly when we had to move we lost our butcher . In the small city we live in I have no local butcher! We do sometimes when we are out call at farm shops , Salisbury is full of estate agents and coffee shops and pubs !! That’s about it . I love the Waitrose fresh meat counter and I have been to one of there farms which was really interesting. Thanks for commenting xx

@@cookingwithsusie thank you for your reply, we have a local butcher who only used British meats and makes his own sausages, we make our own burgers. Thank you for your reply it is appreciated

Most be honest I would love a local butcher again xx

Hi Christine, I hardly ever use any oil as I don’t find I need it ! But there are articles out there that say one cal should be avoided so I threw mine out 😂😂😂 I do believe you can use a tiny amount of olive oil which I toss potatoes in and my non stick is still beautiful xxx

Thanks for getting back to me. I watch your channel all the time Just got my ninga 400 Love it already not used oven since 😆

@@christinegreenwood892 Hi Christine hope you experiment and have fun with it , I have just got the Ninja 15 in 1 !!! Oh god I have so much to learn 😂❤️

@SusieTravels It took me ages to pick. I'm so glad I decided on the ninga best thing I have added to my kitchen ever You have the 15 in one. Wow, so much to experiment with so tempting to get one of those to but I have a pkp Will enjoy seeing how you go 😄

@@christinegreenwood892 yes I only bought it because my pressure cooker died , loving it at the moment only done chicken in it 😂xxx

Oh thank you William that is so nice of you xx

Hi Tony, Ninja say they can go in the dishwasher but they also say they will wear quicker being put in there ! I think they mean the non stick coatings will wear out ! I only ever soak mine in hot soap and water then wash them out . I have never put them in the dishwasher , mine is always to full 😂 thanks for commenting x

Thank you Pete xx

They are indeed , so many variations now though ! Yet they seem to be standing their ground xx

Thank you Catherine and hope you enjoy it xx

Hi Paul sounds good ! My granddaughter has a Tefal but it does not do any of those things but she loves it ! I know very little about other air fryers and I only bought mine because it had two draws . It is good to know other makes which are good and also there are so many new ones now ! Thanks for letting us know xx

Welcome , I don’t only do Ninja but I do love mine xxx

We have TK Max stores near to where I live and I picked them up there , quite a good buy xx

Thank you 😂😂we love sausages and it certainly was not wasted xx

Yes it is excactly what I use xx

Digressing but two table spoons of extra virgin olive oil is good mouth wash and is very good for the liver especially if taken on an empty stomach.

Hi Elaine, I have just started working on non meat dishes , my granddaughter is

Is Vegetarian, so it was quite important and I also looking to reduce my meat intake a little . We have just tried halloumi fries and they cooked lovely and I have just done some eggplant slices in Parmesan which also worked great ! Give me a little time and things will be going up. I am just developing a travel channel so working on the two is keeping me quite busy 😂😂 thank you for commenting xxxx

Thank you , and I think you will love owning an air fryer , great for doing quick snacks too xxx

Thank you x

I will certainly put it on the schedule to do , I am going to Italy in September and will be sharing all the wonderful food I try and tips I learn . Xxx

I want to go to Italy next year I want stay sorrento. Werevyou staying that xx

@@sallythomas8772 Hi Sally , we truly love Italy , Rome is our favourite city ! , we love Puglia , but this year we will be staying with Italian friends on Lake Garda , we are very excited as they live there and are going to share there favourite places with us and favourite foods and recipes . Sorrento will be beautiful but try and go either in the spring or the autumn as it gets very busy xxxx

I never mind answering anyone xxx

Love them xx

I have checked this out with waitrose and there 97 % pork sausage is 97% per cent pork meat , another person made me aware of this so I went round and had a chat with there meat manager who was very nice and took me through there range , they do have other sausages that are a higher fat content and it all clearly makes and described on the back of the pack . Also there butcher told me he felt the better sausage was the one with the slightly higher fat content , he said it cooked better and had the better flavour . I still use the premium one as I love it . It is very good to be aware though we should read the labels and question things . Thanks for commenting xx

Thank you , I some use a tiny amount on fish to stop skin sticking thanks for the comment

I totally agree they must have fat and the ones I use are 10% , they are more solid than most but taste amazing . When I used to live on the farm I had more time and used to make my own for special occasions, I loved them I just used pork shoulder that I ground up and added my own herbs , it was the caseings I used to struggle to get . Sadly I am now to busy to even try . I have a close friend who buys hers from her local butcher her are 17% fat but a very course grind which I am not keen on . Thanks for commenting xx

Bacon I do often in the air fryer but I always do fried eggs in a pan , I know others do eggs in airfryers but I find a frying pan quicker for an egg xx

Thank you xxx

Mine paid for itself in the first nine months !! Okay that is because I have a huge old oven that ate electric! I absolutely love my Ninja , it gives me the crispest roast potatoes I have ever had and it cooks all my dishes beautifully. There are things I still do in a pan such as my steaks . I have a large Panasonic combi microwave flat bed design that I have never really got the hang of and it cost us nearly £400 , I use it as a microwave and I believe it has its place in my kitchen along with my other machines , it is all down to choice and nothing wrong with microwaves if that’s what you are used too . Thanks for the comment.

I have both. Each has pros & cons 👍

Totally agree xx

I actually remember sausages exploding you are right 😂😂 I actually don’t buy huge bottles of oil so I run out long before dates ever get near but when stay n a farm once in Greece the old man told me they never dated there oil 😂 he did say they had what they called a cold cellar which he kept everything in . Thanks for commenting xx

Glad you enjoyed it xxx

Hi Guy not sure as I have not tried them but it would make for very easy cleaning 😂, I would say give it a go and just keep an eye on them if things look wrong stop and take them out . I am always experimenting, some works some epic failures 😂😂 thanks for watching xx

Thank you Jason , enjoy your breakfasts xxx

How did your full English go. ??????

Just thought I would let you know I often do a full English apart from the eggs !! Which I honestly prefer just done in my frying pan on the gas hob , but everything else is in the ninja xx

So pleased you loved them , now try Chicken , we love doing Chicken in the air fryer . I must say though some things just should not go in an air fryer , people do boiled eggs !!! Just makes no sense to me 😂😂 . Xxxx

I ordered this air fryer last wk,out for delivery Friday with Amazon,no show,no delivery sat,sun either then was told out for delivery today.yep you guessed it,didn't come so got a refund as price will go up tomorrow when black Fri ends,re ordered.gone for the black and gold one.to their credit they refunded me and gave me £15 towards the already discounted new one at £179.99 but it makes you wonder what the hell happened to it.cant wait to try it....IF i ever get it lol

My friend had the same thing with a hoover !! They did refund her but she had to go to AO online to get a good deal on a hoover she wanted ! I am sure you will love it , I think chicken is my favourite oh and roasties ! I used to stress about putting the big oven on for roasties but now we can have them anytime really good . Fingers crossed you are unboxing soon xx

@cookingwithsusie hopefully.how it's gone awol is bad,they aren't bothered even contacting my local depot and you can't even ring the depots there are no numbers for any.its meant to come again Friday,we'll see.i will try something simple first,sausages one side chips the other as I'm so adventurous lol x

@mikeyp1054 I always say start simple that’s what I did . Amazon loose loads of stuff !! Half the time the drivers leave stuff on peoples door steps or the wrong house altogether!! Xxx

Good plan xx

Yes I love it on Strawberries, in fact I use it on quite a few things . Thank you for commenting xx

Which brand do you use xxx

@@hayleyjohnson6122 Modena

Hi there my favourite brand is Belazu it is I think one of the best , you can buy it online and it is quite expensive but you really don’t use a lot as it is more like a syrup ! Retails about £14 but it does come on offer and I paid £11.50 for my last bottle xxx

Just put the details in my comments section for you , it is Belazu is the brand xx

Than you Dave, hope the new year is good to you xx

I was thinking of getting one but I’m on my own too, is it worth the outlay ?

I have a few friends who have lost their partners and they all have airfryers . They did not buy ninja they went for known brands but a lot cheaper than Ninja . They bought small airfryers , one friend manages to get a small chicken in hers which lasts her a couple of days . It really depends on the type of food you normally eat , if you are a person who has a lot of salads then maybe you would not use it xxx

Yes that is excactly what happens and they are full of flavour xx
