Air fryers have quickly become one of the most versatile and popular small appliances in the kitchen. Cooking a healthy meal has never been easier, and it's more energy efficient than using your home's oven. As consumers continue to discover innovative uses and recipes, the popularity of this kitchen appliance will only continue to surge. If you haven't tried one yet, there's still time to hop on the bandwagon. We love it for quick family meals, as an extra cooking space for a dinner side, and to keep the hot appetizers rolling while entertaining friends.
This Ninja air fryer is space-saving and double-drawered Ninja® DoubleStack™. Its 2-basket air fryer design uses 40% less counter space than traditional single-basket air fryer models like NINJA AF080 and CHEFMAN 5QT Air Fryer. And, if you store your air fryer in a cabinet, it'll take up less space in there, too.
Its double-basket design also incorporates stackable meal racks, offering consumers the ability to cook four tiers of food at the same time, within two separate baskets. Each basket can be set to different temperatures and cooking settings, including air fry, air broil, roast, bake, reheat and dehydrate. Consumers can choose between Smart Finish®, which enables cooking two foods two ways that finish at the same cooking time, and Match Cook®, which easily copies settings across zones for full 10-qt. capacity meals. "Whether roasting two five-pound chickens or crisping up to five pounds of wings, mealtime becomes effortless with the Ninja® DoubleStack™," shared a representative of SharkNinja. Simply put, a single drawer is great, but separate drawers with independent baskets is really great for everyday cooking.

Our Favorite Uses for an Air Fryer
- Reheating anything that needs a crispy texture: grilled cheese (or Reubens!), chicken tenders, egg rolls, and french fries.
- Dehydrating herbs from the garden
- Roasting raw meat (chicken breast stays more moist than it would in the oven)

- Hear me out: Air fryer nachos. Layer chips, cheese, and all other toppings, then empty the entire
