2 Ninja models on file, 1750–2470 W, 4.7–9.5 L — 22 cook times in total, each taken from Ninja's own manual and cited on the model page.
What Ninja's charts look like as a set
The range on file. 2 models, split 1 dual basket and 1 single basket. They run 1750–2470 W and 4.7–9.5 L, with dials topping out at ~410 °F–~464 °F. The median Ninja here draws 2110 W against 1700 W across every brand on the site. None of them has a preheat setting, which matters because a chart written for a preheated machine and one written for a cold start are not measuring the same thing — the model pages say which is which.
What is documented, and what isn't. 22 cook times from Ninja's own manuals, covering 11 of the 18 foods on this site.
Short or long against the rest. Of the 22 Ninja figures that another manufacturer also publishes a figure for, 19 land inside the band the other brands cover, 2 are shorter than anything any other brand publishes, and 1 are longer. That leans short: on those foods, following a Ninja chart means taking the food out before any other manufacturer would. Which of them is right is not something this site decides — the register keeps them side by side instead.
Where Ninja contradicts itself. Two Ninja manuals give the same food time ranges that cannot both be right. This is not a comparison across brands — it is one manufacturer's charts disagreeing with each other:
- Shrimp — AF400UK says 3–4 min at ~392 °F, AF140UK says 9–11 min at ~392 °F.
- Bacon — AF400UK says 6 min at ~428 °F, AF140UK says 8–10 min at ~392 °F.
- Chicken Nuggets (Frozen) — AF400UK says 13–15 min at ~392 °F, AF140UK says 20–22 min at ~392 °F.
- Salmon Fillet — AF140UK says 8–10 min at ~392 °F, AF400UK says 12–14 min at ~392 °F.
- Chicken Breast — AF400UK says 15–16 min at ~392 °F, AF140UK says 20–22 min at ~374 °F.
- Pork Chops — AF400UK says 12–13 min at ~392 °F, AF140UK says 14–17 min at ~374 °F.
- Chicken Wings — AF140UK says 22–26 min at ~392 °F, AF400UK says 27–30 min at ~392 °F.
