Ninja Foodi: Not a basic how to cookbook
I am really sorry that I purchased this particular cookbook. This cookbook does not give the basics of broiling a simple hamburger or steak or French fries. I am sort of a meat and potatoes guy in these recipes, for the most part, are not my style. For one thing, she adds a lot of not spices that I don’t care for. Again, what I would like to know is how to cook a basic chunk of meat. How do I cook basic shrimp? How do I cook fresh vs frozen shrimp? I can always add my own sauces. In almost every recipe, she goes too far and not far enough. There are no definitions for baking vs roasting vs taking vs crisping. The Ninja Foodi is supposed to thaw and cook various foods. But she doesn’t mention that. She just goes into her specific recipes that I could care less about. I just want to know the basics of cooking a steak or a hamburger or shrimp or salmon or a potato. I don’t need all this fancy crap. My foodi is due to arrive today. I am hoping that the book that comes with it has much more usable information then this particular cookbook. There are so many things that this author does not touch on for the basic user like myself. I went through 200 pages of the book and found only 9 recipes that I could use part of. I, myself, would not recommend this book to anybody that just wants the basics.
