The first thing I have to say is that the Ninja Foodi Dual Zone 7.6L Air Fryer is an absolute beast of a machine. It measures 315 x 375 x 350mm, so you’ll need a fair amount of counter space to use it, and a large enough cupboard in which to store it . Of course, the reason that the Ninja Foodi Dual Zone 7.6L Air Fryer is so big is that it has two individually controlled drawers. These combine for 7.6 litres of capacity overall, or 3.8 litres per drawer. If you’ve seen other Ninja air fryers, the Dual Zone controls will look familiar. You select the cook mode first, then the cooking temperature and then you set the timer. Each drawer has its own crisper plate, which lifts your food off the drawer’s base, increasing air circulation around it. You should use the crispers for most modes, although there are a couple where you should remove it.

Timing is everything in cooking, and it takes a lot of trial and error to get right. But even the most reluctant of cooks will be able to serve up a variety of dishes without having to set multiple timers (what’s that one going off for again?). If you have a small kitchen and already have a slow cooker, look for a model that does both so you don't clutter your space with unnecessary appliances,' says Thea Babington-Stitt, Assistant Editor at Ideal Home. This is especially key if you already have a small kitchen layout, where you need to make the most of your space.

I peeled and sliced the potatoes, and then left them to soak in water for 30 minutes, before draining and patting dry. Ninja recommends using a maximum of 450g of potatoes for fresh chips (1kg per drawer if you’re using frozen), although I made a little more than this.

Using three teaspoons of oil, I next used the Air Fry mode at 200ºC for 24 minutes. Ninja recommends that you remove the drawer and shake the contents at least two or three times through the cooking process to redistribute items. As per the manual, it’s worth using silicone tongs to move the chips around to get the best results; in particular, items at the centre of the pile will need a bit of help to get hot air over them.
