Product Information

With the exception of the Ninja (more on this in a second), there is nothing particularly unusual about caring for or cleaning these ovens. They have standard box interiors of various sizes made from stainless steel that will require regular scrubs and wipes. Each oven also has a removable, dishwasher-safe crumb tray to catch fallen fries and toasty bits. In this section, we are going to compare Ninja DT200 and DT201 air fryer ovens.

Ninja DT251 Foodi 10-In-1 XL PRO Air Fryer Oven [Review]

If you don’t habitually clean your air fryer after every use, you will probably be unable to keep it new-like. So make sure to wipe off the oil and food residue and wash accessories after every use. Both of these Ninja Foodies have a digital control panel with touch buttons. Therefore, both of them will provide almost equal quality in terms of this feature. Heating element Although both systems cook food with hot air breeze, the true convection system is a little bit different from the convection system. True convection means hot air gets evenly distributed inside the oven leaving no cold spots. This way you get evenly roasted food without having to turn it or rotate it in the middle of the cooking process. After having this for almost half a year, i would say im really enjoying cooking using this product. The options is comes with is just great. I tried baking, air frying, broiling.. everything comes oit perfectly. Despite all these perks, Ninja DT251 has one downside when it comes to cleaning. That is its included accessories are not dishwasher safe. So you have to clean them by hand. Although all of them are pretty easy to clean, it’s good to have a dishwasher-safe option.

Ninja DT251 is a convection oven and convection ovens are best for making any kind of roast. This oven’s true surround convection ensures you get perfectly roasted meat where the outside is crispy and inside juicy.

This is low-key one of the most important functions for any oven, especially if you plan to do some light baking in it. If an oven can't hold an accurate and consistent temperature, it makes following recipes far more difficult, and you'll be forever adjusting and hawking your food to make sure it doesn't burn. I used thermocouples to read the internal temperature of the oven while it baked for 10 minutes at 350 degrees F. I was able to get an average temp reading for the duration of the bake, but I also watched the thermometer in real-time to see how much fluctuation happened during the cook. The Cuisinart Digital Air Fryer Toaster Oven :This hybrid convection oven and air fryer wasn't terrible and it certainly had one of, if not the most powerful, air fry functions. That proved to be a blessing and curse since some of the food I cooked burned on the edges and cooked unevenly. According to thousands of users Ninja DT251 Foodi 10-in-1 Smart XL Air Fry Oven is one of the best countertop ovens on the market. It’s super versatile, robust, and contemporary yet comes with a reasonable price tag.The best oven and air fryer you can ever have. I used one of this for make my sublimation tumblers and I have a second one for cook. It’s make everything so perfect the I used for everything All three models – Ninja Foodi DT201, DT251, and DT200 – have the same cooking capacity, and can cook up to 12 lbs of turkey in a single batch. This means that, no matter which model you choose, you’ll have the same maximum cooking capacity for your favorite meals. The difference between the models, then, lies in their additional features and capabilities. What’s the key difference between DT201 and DT200? Air fryer french fries are very popular in my home. All the ovens did pretty well in this test, but the Ninja and Breville cooked them to a golden brown the fastest without burning. David Watsky/CNET

Ninja® Foodi™ Smart XL Pro Air Oven - FAQs DT250 Ninja® Foodi™ Smart XL Pro Air Oven - FAQs

Oil splatters can reach any spot; once they dry up, they are hard to clean. This is probably why the user manual recommends cleaning the air fryer after every use. If you cannot brush off the grease, try soaking the accessories in soapy water overnight. Apart from the size and capacity, both of these Ninja Foodi have exactly the same internal and external design. The control panel of these units is almost the same. Both of them have digital control panels with manual push buttons. Differences between DT200 and DT201 Calphalon Precision Air Fry Oven :The Calphalon scored high marks in the toast test with even browning, but that's about where the accolades ended. This oven was slow to preheat, had trouble holding a consistent temperature and the air fry function was among the weakest.These three heating sources ensure that your food cooks evenly from all sides without constantly removing trays or swapping their position, reducing your overall cooking time. Its heating design is the reason that air fryer’s dehydrating function is so commendable. Reheating food in the air fryer gives you fresh food. With DT251 on your counter, you will think twice about using a microwave for reheating, especially pizza and fried food. The cookie race was a photo finish between Ninja and Breville, both of which delivered near-perfect results. The Cuisinart cookie was overbaked (of course), as was the Crux, although just slightly, while the KitchenAid cookie was a tad underbaked. Preheat test The air fryer freezes the settings when you open the door; you cannot accidentally change the settings. Another thing to love about the Ninja DT251 is its true surround convection function. It means you don’t have to rotate or turn food items to get that perfect crispier, and juicier result.
