Ninja Air Fryer / Oven

[Caryc]

Just purchased a Ninja Double Door Air fryer oven and trying to figure out how to use it. Can anyone tell me the settings to cook a piece of french bread pizza. I've tried a few ways and still get a very hard crusty bottom on it. I'm putting it in still frozen.

You really have to go by the seat of your pants with that.My wife bought one,and she overcooks and undercooks because she goes by times and temps that she reads about.She destroys leftover pizza because she sets it at what she is told,then walks away.I'll start out at what the book says,but stick around and eyeball it.Example,if you cook tater tots like the book says,you will ruin them.At X amount of minutes you are supposed to roll them around.In reality you need to roll them around after a couple of minutes,and then roll them around at the regular time.If you don't roll them around earlier that they say to,they will weld themselves to whatever they are laying on.We also found the power supply makes a huge difference.We have a little house out back,and in there the oven behaves completely different than it does in the main house.

I used to cook said french bread pizza first off in the microwave oven to get it defrosted then a few minutes in the toaster oven to kind of brown and crisp it. I only have so much counter space and I don't want to have to dig out the toaster oven and put it on the counter every time. I just wanted to cook it in one step in the ninja oven. I haven't tried any thing else yet in the air fryer.

Funny thing, I can't seem to type the word oven without typing "over". I just had to change it four times in the paragraph above.

French bread pizza is supposed to have a hard crunchy bottom. It's French bread, and you're toasting it.

Lower temperature for longer might make it less crunchy but if you want a soft soggy bottom just microwave it. (Yes, I said it that way intentionally...)

In my experience the times and temperatures for air frying are never enough. Supposed to cook french fries for like 7 minutes at 350. They come out warm and soggy. 450 for 20 minutes and they come out crisp and hot every time, but mine isn't a Ninja.

Our air fryer is part of our oven glass top range. Wife loves it.

I’m surprised any of you know what French bread is. I have never been able to find real French bread any place but the New Orleans area.
I have never had frozen French bread pizza so I don’t know if they use real French bread.

Real French bread has a hard crust as soon as you bake it and if it is a day old it’s stale.
