I've been experimenting with my Ninja Combi Meals cooker and air fryer, with mixed results. It's just getting timing and temperature (read: follow the directions) down pat.

The instructions said you can bake a cake in it, using the "Bake" function, so I had a box of cake mix hanging around and went for it! The cake swelled up so far it touched the heating units on the top and left a beautiful pattern of burn on the top. Other than that, it came out really well!

The "combi meal" feature allows you to cook grain, vegetable, and a protein all together; quite nice with my busy days. (Question: How am I coming up to retiring and yet busier than ever?)

All this to get back to dinner, the point of the thread: Tonight was chicken breasts, roast potatoes, and green beans a la Foodie. I put BBQ sauce on the chicken, which did char a bit, but once that was cut off, this was my best attempt thus far.
