all best air fryers Play the game by claiming to be the fastest model on the market. While some are certainly fast, very few deliver truly good results in less than fifteen minutes. But not only that. It promises to steam, bake and air fry using ceramic non-stick material that is classified as non-toxic. On paper this seems like perfection, which is why Speedi impressed me so much.

Opening the box may not sound like the most exciting part of using an air fryer, and you’d be right. But it says a lot about a brand. For example, Ninjas use their boxes very well. They put instructions and useful information about Speedi in the box. Just take a look at these; They will put you one step ahead in the entire cooking process.

Another great gesture that Ninja has made with its packaging is from a sustainability perspective. Everything that comes with the Ninja Speedi, from the wrap around the air fryer to its box and bumper, is fully recyclable. From a waste perspective, you don’t need to feel guilty about anything.

Then, to complete your setup, Ninja includes a recipe book. I’ve always thought this was a nice touch, but on the Speedi it’s particularly special. Fast Cooker Mode recipes are all based on steamed air; This is great if you know you can use it for veggies, meats, and baking. But if you don’t, it may seem overwhelming. Even looking at the recipe book will give you ideas; especially since they show you how to prepare meals using Speedi’s cooking style.

Who does it suit?

Ninja Speedi, as the name suggests, is ‘fish and chips for dinner?’ Perfect for those who want air fryers that cook faster than you can say. Speedi promises (and delivers) crisp, hot food in 15 minutes, whether you choose to air fry or steam.

As a result of the incredible efficiency Ninja offers, I always envision Speedi in the heart of a large, crowded house. The large basket makes it easy to pour, place and pour whatever you want for dinner into the air fryer. Then simple controls make the rest even easier and faster.

You’ll also have access to ten different cooking settings, some of which use steam to cook, soften, and keep food moist and tender. Others will cook, boil and crisp whatever you put in the basket.

What’s it like to use?

The control panel is intuitive and something I’ve come to expect from Ninja. One half of the menu is for Speedi dishes and the other is for air fry/stove. Each function is listed with nifty arrows placed in the middle to switch between settings.

This is also where you can set the temperature and timer for Ninja Speedi settings; so if you know you like your chips a little softer or crunchier, you can tailor the results to your own taste. You don’t even need a user manual for this unless you’re trying to figure out what the ‘speed’ settings do. The best place to look for them Ninja Speedi meal creator web page.

Test 1: chips

One of the first tests any air fryer should do with me is the chips. I wasn’t too sure what Speedi could do with my frozen fries in 15 minutes, but let me tell you, it’s impressive. In just 13 minutes my chips were perfect.

They were all colored with a beautiful golden crunch evenly throughout the entire batch. It had a wonderful crunch on the outside, while the fluffy middle was still extremely soft and delicious. I felt a few were on the dry side, but for four servings of chips, that’s not a bad result.

I air fried some bacon in the same batch. These strips only needed three minutes. The ones I kept for five minutes were extremely crispy. I know my fries are extremely thin, so I think a thicker cut might take more than five minutes, but this is an incredible result: even browning, crispy edges, and juice in every bite.

Test 2: fish fingers

I was interested in testing how the Speedi handled frozen foods because this is normally a feature of an air fryer. My main concern is what an air fryer might do to a fish finger stick that is completely frozen in just fifteen minutes? The answer is: cook it thoroughly, deeply, and to a temperature I can’t bite into.

The fish flaked beautifully, almost like it was crumbled, and the breadcrumbs on the outside had a wonderful crunch. This all happened in 15 minutes? Influential.

Test 3: grilled vegetables

Grilled vegetables are another classic test, and I wanted to give the bake/roast function a shot here. I added tomatoes, chopped zucchini, onion, and eggplant to the air fryer basket and filled the bottom layer. Then, just ten minutes later, the Speedi beeped to let me know the vegetables were ready.

With mild disbelief, I lifted the lid to see that they were, in fact, completely crispy. Often all those wet veggies create steam that hits your face when you open the oven door. But the Speedi neatly pushed all of that away so I could still see through my glasses. What a result.

Test 4: reheating pizza

Every air fryer should be capable of reheating, even if it’s not listed among its functions. To test this, I put the cold pizza in the air fryer at 160 degrees. When I lifted it up after seven minutes, I found that the base was crispy, the cheese had melted and risen nicely, and the entire pizza was nice and hot. This is unbeatable.

Test 5: Combined meals

One of the great features of the Ninja Speedi is that in addition to cooking rice, it can steam salmon, tender broccoli or tofu. The steam outlet automatically releases pressure so you don’t have to worry about any technical issues. Just set it and let it run.

For rice, I used the steam function for fifteen minutes. It was an easy, hands-free process that resulted in me being treated to delicious, fluffy, light rice. My biggest problem came when I tried to remove the hot air fryer basket from the Speedi to put in the rice. There’s no handle, so have your oven gloves ready.

To steam the salmon (or tofu), I had to leave the Speedi preheated for nine minutes. Then I put the rice and broth in the bottom of the Speedi, and put the fillets in the basket above the rice. Then, ten minutes later, an extremely powerful jet of steam was released. When you lifted the lid the salmon looked perfect. When I pulled the salmon out I could also see excellent rice. This is a really healthy and delicious meal that I prepared in 15 minutes, excluding preheating.

Cleaning

Cleaning the Ninja Speedi Air Fryer

The basket is coated with non-stick ceramic, but is still dishwasher safe. In fact, Ninja says all the accessories are safe to stick in the dishwasher, even though I hand washed mine. If you want to clean the inside of your air fryer, the Speedi has a steam cleaning setting that will remove any dried or stubborn dirt inside.

That’s just a longer way of saying that this is really easy to clean. Low maintenance inside and maintenance free outside; This is every busy home’s dream. If you need extra help, we’ve got it covered how to clean air fryer I will explain it in detail in another article.

How does it compare?

I can see many common features in Ninja Speedi and others. Ninja Kombi. Both are great, but if you want something with a little more space and more versatile functions, the Combi is worth considering. While it can air fry extremely well, the Combi is essentially a countertop oven.

The Speedi has some of the Ninja’s Combi settings, but they’re showcased really well in the Combi. You can choose more than 12 different cooking functions. That’s incredible. The disadvantage of the combi boiler is its size. Even bigger than Speedi.

On the other hand, if you want something smaller than the Speedi, Ninja’s DoubleStack I will continue to offer you the delicious salmon and rice bowls that I enjoy with Speedi, in a much more compact model.

You’ll also benefit from dual drawers that can operate simultaneously using different settings and timers. It’s a little more expensive, but probably worth it if you want yours to be both versatile and fast.

Should you buy?

If you want a large, versatile air fryer, the Speedi makes a great investment. It’s non-toxic, non-stick, and super fast. I think the bulkiness means this is trending towards larger households, especially since it’s so versatile. But even in my small apartment, I think it’s worth making room for Speedi.

How we test

(Image credit: Future)

On: women&homeWe have a rigorous testing process. Any air fryer is meticulously researched before it reaches my kitchen, so I know exactly what it claims to do and what it is designed to do. Then, when it arrives home, I put the air fryer through a series of standard tests: making chips, roasted vegetables, fish fingers and bacon.

Most of the time I will do some specific, specific tests, but these are a great basis for checking how well the air fryer crisps food, keeps meat moist, thaws frozen food, and achieves soft textures. I’ll also make time for air fryers because one of their USPs is very fast, so there’s no point in investing in one that isn’t faster than an oven.

After this I will clean the air fryer and start comparing it to others. This helps give an idea of the value of an air fryer. You’ll learn where it sits in the air fryer market, who it’s suitable for, and whether I think you should buy it. I always offer some competitive alternatives so you can get a good feel for what you’re shopping for.
