Ninja Foodi Frozen Food Cook Times
It doesn’t matter what brand you have at home. I am guilty of having three. Seriously I have an AirWave, two Cosori machines, and a Ninja Foodi as well.
- The latter one uses air fry mode for these and works the same way. An Instant Pot air fryer lid works too, just doesn’t cook as much at a time.
When you are making any and all easy air fryer recipes the biggest tip, you experts already know, is to NOT overlap your food. No matter what brand you have, or shape of your basket you always want to lay food in a single layer to get it as crispy as humanly possible.
If you love extra crispy food and quick recipes, here are some resources to start with:
- My Favorite models are this Cosori or for a dual machine, the Foodi.
- You can find more Ninja Foodi recipes here as well; bookmark them both!
- It is best practice to put food into a hot basket. this is how to preheat air fryer first.

How do you work out air fryer times for frozen food?
What you want to remember is that many times the oven temperature listed on the bag or box is many times about right for this machine too! You do want it high to get it crispy. If it sits with lower heat the foods will begin to defrost, soften, and there is no recovering to get that crunch you want.

Should you defrost frozen food before cooking in the air fryer?
NO and no again. The research with foods meant to be kept frozen is that the timing is specific to it going straight from the freezer into your heat source. If you have a Foodi I have one that is specific to that one as well so you can grab them all. Print Ninja Foodi cook times here if you’d like.
