Chicken Pot Pie in the Ninja Foodi Grill - Part 3 Bake vs Air Crisp

Someone posted that they cooked Banquet Chicken Pot Pies on Air Crisp at 375° for 15 minutes and someone else even said to Air Crisp on 360° for 10 minutes. It didn't sound possible to me so I decided to check it out. As I suspected, it wasn't long enough and I ended up cooking it for 20 minutes with a 5 minute rest. The bottom crust was edible but not quite fully done, even with the internal temperature being 180 to 200° (165 is required) after a 5 minute rest inside the grill with lid closed.


I decided to try again. 
I couldn't let it end that way.
I wanted to give Air Crisp another chance.
Afterall, it's kinda magical, right? This mini turbo jet of air so powerful that it makes anything it touches turn out so tasty! 

This time I set the Air Crisp mode on 325° F for 25 minutes. The bottom crust was done, the internal temperature was 197 to 200° F (165° F is required) after a 5 minute rest inside the grill with lid closed.
So much better at 325° F!!! 
So while Air Crisp cooks faster on the same temperature as bake, there's definitely foods that benefit more from the slower speed, or at least a lower temperature.
