How much food fits in the Ninja Air Fryer Pro XL?

The 6.5-quart basket holds up to 9 lbs of chicken wings or 5 lbs of French fries. That is enough for a family meal or a party batch in one go.

Does it need much oil?

No. It uses superheated air up to 450°F, and Ninja claims up to 75% less fat than deep frying for hand-cut fries. A light spray or toss of oil helps browning.

What can I cook in it besides fries?

The six functions cover air frying, roasting, baking, broiling-style Max Crisp, reheating and dehydrating. That covers vegetables, chicken, fish, baked goods and jerky.

Are the basket and plate dishwasher-safe?

Yes. Both the nonstick basket and the crisper plate are dishwasher-safe, though hand washing keeps the coating in better shape longer.

How does it compare with a dual-basket air fryer?

It has more single-basket capacity and higher heat, but a dual-basket model lets you cook two foods at different settings at once. Choose this one if you mostly cook one thing at a time.

What comes in the box?

The air fryer, a 6.5-quart nonstick basket with crisper plate, a 20-recipe book and cooking charts. It is covered by a 1-year limited warranty.
