  1. Steamed 1 medium potato for 10 minutes. 16 minute back/roast and thought I’d check it before I put it air crisp. Could barely get a knife into it as it wasn’t cooked on the inside already looking quite blackened on the outside.
    Think the pressure cooking time needs increasing ?
    Not sure but not good result.

    1. Pressure cooking for 18 minutes works for me every time as per my previous post. I have used this recipe several times and they are always perfect with medium and large potatoes.

  2. Cooking times are misleading not taking into account what type of fryer you might be using. Got the 15 in one with smart lid and each cycle requires it to pre-heat before it actually starts cooking so will be well over an hour so will be back to using the microwave to do this may not quite come out the same but at least will be cooked a lot quicker.

    1. For the 15 in 1 put 250ml water in pot. Probe in biggest potato, set to steam airfry with probe set to manual 100⁰c
      Perfect… Usually takes around 40 mins depending on the size

  3. Just got my Ninja Foodie the other day. Cooked to medium-large jacket potatoes today. Followed your three steps and they came out perfectly, although I was a bit worried as it was the first time using the pressure cooker and steam was coming out and thought I hadn’t put the switch to SEAL, but turns out I had (it just has a very loose release valve). I then baked for 18 mins then crisped for 20mins.
