Description
Ninja Foodi MAX Dual Zone Air Fryer AF451UK ā Black
The Ninja Foodi MAX Dual Zone Air Fryer AF451UK makes everyday cooking faster and more convenient with its generous 9.5-litre capacity, two independent cooking zones and Smart Cook System.
Designed to cook two different foods at different temperatures and times, it allows both dishes to finish together using SYNC or MATCH functions. Additionally, the integrated Digital Cooking Probe continuously monitors the temperature of meat and fish, helping you achieve your preferred level of doneness without guesswork.
Dual Zone Cooking for Complete Meals
Cook Two Foods at Once
The Ninja Foodi MAX Dual Zone Air Fryer features two separate 4.75-litre cooking drawers, giving you the flexibility to prepare different foods at the same time.
Each zone can have its own cooking function, temperature and time, so you can cook a main course in one drawer and a side dish in the other.
The SYNC function is particularly useful when cooking foods with different cooking times, as it coordinates the programmes so both zones finish together.
Alternatively, MATCH allows you to copy the same settings across both zones when preparing larger quantities of the same food.
Smart Cook System with Digital Cooking Probe
The integrated Digital Cooking Probe takes the guesswork out of cooking meat and fish. It continuously monitors the internal temperature of food as it cooks and lets you know when it has reached the selected level of doneness.
This is especially useful for preparing steaks, chicken and other proteins where accurate cooking is important.
Product Highlights
With an extra-large 9.5-litre capacity, the Ninja Foodi MAX Dual Zone Air Fryer is designed for larger households and entertaining.
The two drawers can accommodate up to 1.4kg of fries each, while either drawer can fit a whole chicken weighing up to 2kg. The overall capacity can feed 8+ people, making it practical for family-sized meals and larger batches.
The air fryer also offers six versatile cooking functions: Air Fry, Max Crisp, Roast, Bake, Reheat and Dehydrate.
This means it can do much more than traditional air frying, giving you several cooking methods in one countertop appliance.
6 Versatile Cooking Functions
The Ninja Foodi MAX Dual Zone Air Fryer provides multiple ways to prepare everyday food:
- Air Fry ā create crispy, golden food using little to no oil
- Max Crisp ā quickly crisp smaller quantities of frozen foods
- Roast ā roast meat, poultry and vegetables
- Bake ā prepare cakes, desserts and other baked recipes
- Reheat ā revive leftovers while helping maintain a crispy texture
- Dehydrate ā make dried fruit, vegetables, meat and homemade snacks
Each function has its own temperature range and cooking characteristics, giving you greater flexibility for different recipes.
Fast Cooking with Less Oil
Air frying uses circulating hot air to cook and crisp food, allowing you to use little to no oil for many recipes. Ninja states that the AF451UK can deliver up to 75% less fat than traditional frying methods, based on testing against deep-fried, hand-cut French fries. Results will vary depending on the food and cooking method.
The appliance can also cook up to 75% faster than fan ovens, according to Ninja’s testing against fish fingers and sausages, including preheating. This makes it useful when you need to prepare meals quickly during busy weekdays.
Convenient Cooking Without Preheating
Unlike many conventional ovens, the AF451UK does not require preheating before using its cooking functions. Simply select your desired zone, choose the cooking programme and set the temperature and time.
The cooking process can then begin immediately, helping save preparation time.
Occasions & Usage Guide
The Ninja Foodi MAX Dual Zone Air Fryer is suitable for a wide range of everyday cooking occasions:
- Family dinners ā prepare a main dish and side dish simultaneously
- Steak nights ā use the Digital Cooking Probe for temperature-controlled results
- Chicken meals ā cook a whole chicken of up to 2kg in one drawer

- Healthy-style meals ā air fry using little to no oil

Easy Cleaning and Practical Design
Cleaning after cooking is straightforward thanks to the removable drawers and crisper plates. The drawers and crisper plates are dishwasher safe, although Ninja recommends hand-washing the drawers to help extend their lifespan.
The Digital Cooking Probe should be cleaned separately with a damp cloth and must not be placed in the dishwasher.
