Step-by-Step Guide to Baking a Cake

Follow the instructions on the box or in your recipe to mix the ingredients. Next, prepare your cake pan. It's important to use a pan that fits comfortably inside your Ninja Foodi. Spray the pan with cooking spray to prevent the cake from sticking.

You can use any round pan that fits and is rated for use in an oven in the Ninja Foodi. So, you don't necessarily need to buy new pans.

You can bake various types of cakes in a Ninja Dual Air Fryer, including sponge cakes, chocolate cakes, carrot cakes, and more. The key is to use the appropriate cake pan and adjust the cooking time and temperature accordingly.

Can I use aluminum foil in the Ninja Foodi Grill? Yes, you can use aluminum foil in the Foodi Grill just as you would in an outside grill. Can I use parchment paper in the Ninja Foodi Grill? No, we do not recommend using parchment paper in the Foodi Grill.

You're not going to be able to fit an entire loaf or Bundt pan in this Ninja, but you can use it to bake a cake or muffins in a shallow pan, or small items like cookies right on the sheet pan. Biscuits baked up just as well as from a full-size oven.

Air Fry: Gives food crispiness and crunch with little to no oil. Bake/Roast: Prepare baked treats, oven-tender meats, and more using dry heat only. Grill: Cook at high heat to caramelize and brown food.

The bake setting still provides even heat from top and bottom, but it isn't fan assisted. The bake setting is best for cakes, cookies and frozen pizza. The roast setting is best for tray bakes, but I also use it to heat up mini gluten-free quiches, and veggie burgers.

A good rule of thumb? Use a temperature about 25 degrees F lower than what you may might be accustomed to with a conventional oven: Baking in the air fryer is typically about 325 instead of 350 degrees F, roasting will be about 400 instead of 425 degrees, and so on.

Can you use a glass baking dish in a Ninja Foodi? ›

If the dish is oven-safe, made of borosilicate or tempered glass, it can work in an air fryer. However, if the dish is made of soda-lime glass, it can't withstand high temperatures in an air fryer.

Households are shelving their air fryers in favour of another kitchen appliance that is cheaper to run, and just as healthy.

After a few attempts, I have finally succeeded in baking the perfect bread in the ninja! At first, my loaves resembled bricks with zero rise – hard and inedible. It wasn't until I realised that the heat from the ninja came from the top, resulting in a crust forming too quickly, that I began to make progress.

Do air fryers use a lot of electricity? Air fryers don't use a lot of electricity, with most requiring between 800 and 1800 watts (W) to run, though some large models need more. Air fryers also use less electricity than electric ovens, which typically use around 2,200 W to 5,000 W, and therefore cost more to run.

Along with being user-friendly, air fryers also harness the ability to roast, fry, dehydrate and, yes, even bake. Considering air fryers are essentially small convection ovens, it shouldn't be too surprising that you can easily whip up cakes, muffins and bread in the compact appliances.

It turns out that what I thought was a gimmick is actually one of the appliance's greatest strengths: Essentially a small convection oven, the air fryer is a great tool for baking, especially small-batch baking, and cooking when it's too hot to turn on the conventional oven.

Fiona says air-fried pies will work well, but because there is no bottom heating element, you may not get a crisp brown base. You'll also only have space to cook one or two at a time, but it will be faster than waiting for your oven to warm up. Air-frying a pie will be quicker than an oven.

Foil is safe to use in an air fryer so long as you follow three basic rules: never let foil touch the heating element; make sure the foil is weighted so it doesn't blow around the basket; and avoid contact with acidic ingredients, which can cause the foil to leach onto your food.
