Grill – Get that authentic chargrilled finish, without having the trouble of a charcoal barbecue. You can grill everything, from BBQ classics like burgers and halloumi, to tender beef brisket, juicy steaks, chargrilled vegetables and so much more. The Ninja Woodfire Electric BBQ Grill & Smoker makes grilling veggies and obtaining a delicious char easy. I cooked a batch of bell peppers to go with the smoked pulled pork and although the Ninja didn’t produce perfect grill lines on the pepper skin, it did cook them with a nice overall BBQ char. Air Fryer: Up to 75% less fat than deep frying* (*Tested against deep-fried, hand-cut French fries) Anything of a nature that for hygiene or associated health and safety - this includes the Outdoor Spas, Mattresses and Divan Sets

The Ninja even comes with a handy cookbook, giving you all the inspiration you need to get the most out of your Ninja Woodfire. Not only is this appliance a game changer if you only have a balcony or tiny patio, but it offers easy, mess-free outdoor cooking no matter where you plan to cook – you just need access to power. Unlike hybrid BBQs or a small tabletop BBQ, this isn’t just a BBQ/grill alternative; it offers multiple cooking functions. It can air fry, bake, roast, and it’s a smoker, too. Please note: Ninja BBQ Grills can get extremely hot. Make sure that you set-up your cooking session on a safe, heat-resistant surface. Stay close by at all times while your device is on, until it’s cooled down sufficiently.

I tested making cheddar and chive scones using the air-frying function and they were delicious. I was impressed I could make a recipe typically oven baked in this grill. Please note that during particularly busy periods, it may take a little longer to receive your delivery and our carrier may attempt to deliver to you on a Saturday. Compared to cooking roasted vegetables in a standard oven, the Ninja produced very similar results but in a much faster time. Roasting bell peppers usually takes over 30 minutes, so even if you’re not planning on barbecue for your main meal and just wanted some grilled veggies to toss into a salad, heating up the Ninja is well worth it. Using the air fryer function Electric and compact BBQs have been soaring in popularity for a while now, thanks to 'instant' low-cost disposable BBQs being proven to be incredibly bad for the environment and, ironically, hard to dispose of. Many who live in a flat but have a balcony have also switched to smaller, more compact versions of your normal gas or charcoal BBQ and electric is a much safer, landlord-friendly option.

Smoke – Create intense smoky flavours while cooking low-and-slow to tenderise large cuts of meat. The convection fan evenly circulates heat and smoke around your food to achieve rich wood-fired flavours. Usually the recipe takes 10-15 minutes cooking time in the oven with additional time for the oven to preheat. With the Ninja air frying function, after only 2 minutes of preheating, the scones which were slightly smaller in size were done in 6 minutes, and the scones larger in size were cooked through in just under 8 minutes. I love the clever Smoker function, which features the self-igniting smoke box where you put the pellets is just like cooking over a wood or charcoal fire - without the danger and the mess. If you're a fan of smoked meats and cook them often like me, I really do think it is worth splashing the cash on this appliance. I personally don't own a charcoal BBQ anymore, and I don't think I'm going to invest in one since owning a Ninja either - which in my opinion is a huge compliment to the new member of the Ninja family. I know so many people who have a Ninja appliance, and the familiarity of the feel and functions is another plus point to me. Despite looking intimidating, using the Ninja Woodfire really is a breeze, so would be a great introduction to the BBQ world, as well as a safer option, too.

Request a Collection via Robert Dyas Customer Services The number of functions and the convenience of using electricity really do sell it for me, but the capacity of the Ninja Woodfire may let it down for some. It does cook up a feast, but if you're having a large family BBQ, you may struggle to fit all the food in. You also have to cook in stages: Cook the meat, add the veg and then air fry some potatoes afterwards. However, if you're cooking for a family of four whilst camping, for example, the fact you can cook meat, vegetables and potatoes on the same appliance is a game-changer. After cooking the pork shoulder, I chose to let it rest inside the Ninja, but to save time I could have taken it out to rest on the side and just changed the settings from Smoker to Grill on the function dial and carried on cooking the veggies. It is great that switching between different cooking functions is really easy because the grill plate is not quite big enough to cook everything at the same time and it wouldn’t be big enough to keep vegetables separate from the meat juices if cooking for vegetarian or vegan guests. The recipe booklet provided straightforward instructions for 4 bell betters and suggested a 6-9 minute cook time, flipping halfway through. I really like the char flavour and found 8 minutes to be the perfect amount of time.I found the wide rectangular basket and the shallow depth more user-friendly than the deep round shaped basket I’ve used with some of the best multicookers, like the Ninja Foodi. Overall, the grill function on the Ninja electric BBQ provides all of the crispy skin and flavour benefits of a traditional gas BBQ without the long preheating time and cook time or temperature guess work. Working days are defined as Monday-Friday 8am-7pm inclusive, excluding Saturday, Sunday and Public Holidays. Next Day & Named Day Delivery Display-wise, the Ninja comprises of a knob that displays the seven cooking functions, a digital display, a button to infuse the woodfire flavour, a start/stop button and then buttons to adjust the time and the heat.
