Friday afternoon, you barely managed to have a decent cup of coffee after picking up the kids, you already did some grocery shopping, tried to tidy up the living room without getting overwhelmed by all the toys, and time is just flying by. The kids are already at home scattering everything you've gathered, you're in the kitchen trying to prepare something to eat that won't be junk but won't take an hour either, and you don't really feel like being in the kitchen right now.
There's already a pan on the stove with chicken breast, potatoes in the oven, oh someone's screaming in the living room, a quick jump to the living room to settle a dispute between the siblings, and there goes the chicken breast burned, the potatoes are far from being ready, and you find yourself making sandwiches for them or reheating something frozen in the microwave. It's time to meet the Ninja Speedy. A few minutes and you have a meal ready.
A balanced menu in a minimum amount of time
The Ninja Speedy is a fast cooking device that is highly suitable for people who love to cook alongside those who hate dealing with food. Yes, everyone in the house will enjoy this device. The Speedy Ninja 2 has two cooking modes and 10 automatic programs under one smart lid. The Speedy comes with an option for steaming, which, in my opinion, upgrades almost any cooking or baking method, and it has excellent programs like the Ninja Grill such as air frying, baking, grilling, boiling, and drying.
But the people in Ningja decided that it wasn't enough, and with a twist of a button, the Speedy turns into a miraculous device with a built-in fast cooking function that prepares a complete meal for you, with a base, vegetables, and protein, such as broccoli and chicken pasta, potato and meat in Mexican style, tofu and Indian rice, in just 15 minutes! With the same twist of the fast cooking button, the device combines several cooking methods such as frying and steaming, baking and steaming, grilling, and more. Until I tried it, I didn't believe it. After that, I couldn't stop checking the options again and again.
The Speedy's fast cooking programs operate based on fast and powerful cooking technology that introduces steam (and moisture) into the food, and uses hot air to brown and create the desired crispiness on the outside. The structure of the Speedy is deep, with a volume of 5.7 liters, which allows for the insertion of more ingredients vertically. The advanced technology utilizes this height to integrate two cooking methods, one working on the lower part where the heating body sits and the other on the top that receives its heat and browning from the grill grid in the lid.
This structure and advanced technology succeed in providing a combination of several cooking methods with multiple different ingredients that cook separately in the same device! For a full and tasty meal. Genius? Wait, there's more.
Like all grilling devices, Speedy also has accessories that help with cooking. In this case, Speedy comes with a metal frying tray that serves as a barrier between the lower and upper parts and also as a tray on which you place the chicken or fish for grilling.
Don't worry, it takes 15 minutes and then you can sit down to eat. The big question is "how do I know how long to cook the food?" Like any Ninja device, they have arranged recipes for everything, with a smart recipe calculator in Hebrew that tells you how to prepare a variety of recipes according to the ingredients you want. If you decide to go for one of the "quick meal" programs, all you need to do is choose the base, the cut, the extras, and the seasonings, and the calculator will tell you exactly how much of each ingredient to use and how long to cook it. Speedy's "quick meal" program is set for 15 minutes*, and you'll be surprised, but often the meal is ready after just 13 minutes.
How do you prepare it? Very simply, you place the base for your meal in the lower part, pasta with vegetables and sauce, rice with beans, potatoes with seasoning, etc. On top, you place the tray that comes with small legs that sit on the grooves in the device, and on top of the tray, you place vegetables and meat, fish, or tofu for grilling. They are also seasoned exactly as you would season them if you were using a pan or an oven. Press the start button and Speedy starts to heat up - don't worry, it will notify you when it starts cooking, and you can check how much time it needs to be ready.
Remember when they yelled at us not to open the pot in the middle of cooking rice because it ruins it, so relax. The Speedy provides you with full assurance, every time it opens the cooking stops until you close the device, nothing in the cooking process is ruined. The Speedy's two-way ability to cook and fry in parallel provides it with speed and power that you haven't experienced before, so until you get to know the device more and more, it's worth taking a peek after just 12 minutes, who knows, maybe the chicken is already ready and you can sit down to eat with the whole family together.
A true ninja doesn't make an effort - that's the whole story
Ninja's main goal with the Speedy device (and really with all of its kitchen appliances) is to make cooking in the kitchen easier, to give us the option to prepare balanced and tasty meals without standing over the pots and pans, to work tirelessly and not worry that the food will spoil, and most importantly, to give us the option to spend more time with the family.
The pan comes with a non-stick ceramic coating and an adjustable frying plate, both of which are easily cleaned and suitable for use in the dishwasher. It is operated under a Hebrew-speaking interface and is very convenient to operate for those who are apprehensive about all the gadgets. The recipe calculator is designed for four people, so even if you are two, you will have tasty food for the next day.
