If you're in the market for an air fryer that can handle multiple dishes at once, the Ninja Max Dual Zone Air Fryer DZ400UKSTGD is a contender. With two independent 4.75L baskets, it allows you to cook two different foods simultaneously, each with its own cooking mode and time.
Key Features and Specifications
The DZ400UKSTGD boasts 6 cooking functions: air fry, air roast, reheat, dehydrate, bake, and max crisp. Its 9.5L total capacity is enough for a 2.3kg chicken or a 1.8kg batch of chips. The dual-zone design means you can sync the baskets to finish at the same time, or use the 'match' function to copy settings from one basket to the other.
Performance and Cooking Results
In tests, the air fryer produced crispy chips and juicy chicken with minimal oil. The max crisp function is particularly effective for frozen foods. However, some users report that the baskets are not dishwasher safe, which can be a drawback for easy cleaning.
According to the product description, the Ninja Max Dual Zone Air Fryer uses rapid air circulation to cook food up to 75% faster than a traditional oven. It also reduces added fat by up to 75% compared to deep frying.
Price and Value
The Ninja Max Dual Zone Air Fryer DZ400UKSTGD is priced at around £119.99, though it can vary by retailer. It comes with a 2-year guarantee. Compared to similar dual-zone models, it offers good value for its capacity and features.
Pros and Cons
Pros include the large capacity, independent baskets, and multiple cooking functions. Cons include the lack of dishwasher-safe parts and the size, which may be bulky for smaller kitchens. Overall, it's a solid choice for families or those who cook multiple dishes regularly.
