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.
