The Best Air Fryer

January 24, 2026

An air fryer circulates hot air to cook food with little to no oil. The Ninja AF141 has a 5-quart capacity that’s good for 2-4 servings.

It has four functions: air fry, roast, reheat, and dehydrate. The ceramic-coated basket is nonstick and dishwasher safe.

Usage

Preheat for 3 minutes before cooking. Don’t overcrowd the basket - food needs space for air to circulate. Shake or flip food halfway through cooking for even browning.

Cleaning

Let the unit cool, then wipe the interior with a damp cloth. The basket and crisper plate are dishwasher safe.
