Just got mine a couple of days ago and I am IN LOVE with it! I've never been a big steak eater; however, since getting the grill, I've had steak twice!!
It is fantastic to hear that you are enjoying the Ninja Grill & Griddle, Karol! Thank you for sharing with us, and we hope that you can continue to get great use from it.
Everywhere keeps saying use recommended oils but they never actually show how. Just brush oil on the grill before or after preheating or what? I never use oils so idk what that means.
Hello Darkadia! We are sorry for the delay in responding to you. We do not recommend applying oil directly to the grill. It is only recommended to apply the oil to the food itself.
That is an excellent question, Darkadia! If the recipe calls for oil to be on the food then yes you would apply the oil onto the food. We recommend for you to brush the food with oil instead of spraying it.
Gotta say this thing is incredible. I got one for xmas and i genuinely cannot believe how good it is. Ive always done everything in my cast iron skillet, but so far everything i have cooked using the grill mode has been phenomenal, and i dont think ill be using my pan much any more. Going to be trying out steak next using the thermometer, definitely cant wait.
I have a Ninja Foodi Grill Ag301 that seems to be perfect for a man and his wife with only ourselves to cook for! We normally eat inour dining room at McKendree Village, and cooking in our apartment has been a pain in the neck bit the Foodi has given us a new lease on eating. We’ve had it for a month or so and it is becoming our latest toy! The air-fryer concept is really a convection oven that is easier and is taking this country by storm! You better look at it !
That's great news, Terri! We are thrilled to know that you enjoyed T-Bone Steaks cooked in your Ninja Foodi Smart XL Grill! Thank you for sharing your experience with our community!
Have had mine a very short time.....dehydrated my first pound of bacon, but got today’s perfect. Hamburger was okay, a bit overdone. My fault because I can’t quite believe how fast this cooks. Meatloaf last night was a bit over crusty.....will fix that next time I think. So far I love it.....am doing first major cleaning today...will see how that goes!
Just got mine 😎 This might be a stupid question. owners guide says "remove promotional labels" theres 3 labels on mine, the one on inside bottom 1:31, and 2 on top of lid "how to place the thermometer" and "importance of carry-over cooking". do you remove these labels? 🤔 😜

The first time I used mine I forgot to put in the cooking pot and only used the grill plate 😭😭 cleaning the bottom of the grill was super fun after that, lol.
@@NinjaKitchenUS No worries! You best believe I haven’t forgotten to add the cooking pot again 🙂 I wanted to post that experience to hopefully prevent others from making that mistake as well. Thanks for the reply!
tried roasting a whole chicken. placed thermometer correctly but it cooked for an hour and a half and still said it was 147 degrees. we finally opened it and it was very overdone, almost burnt
You are telling me which oils to use but don’t tell me where or when to use them. Do I grease the grill plate before cooking? If I’m making hamburgers when do I grease the grill plate? Or do the hamburgers produce enough grease to cook them?
@@NinjaKitchenUS I saw something from you flash across my screen but I don’t know where to find it! It’s not in my messages or my email. As you can see I’m not very electronically intelligent!
Thanks this really helps. Sadly I just bought mine but doesn't have a preset or manual button . Strange! Its totally blank out there. I am gonna have to replace it . Other than that everything is perfect.

My third grill and it has same issue as first two. When I click on my grill option on my Ninja it doesn't give me the preset option. How many grills do I have to go through to get a grill with a preset option illuminated and working?
HELP!! To anyone that reads this, thank you!! I purchased my ninja foodi smart xl grill couple days ago and already having issues! When preheating it smells like burnt plastic + sets off my smoke detector 😩 Any idea what’s going on ? Is this expected? The grill is as clean as it can be so it’s not the dirt or grease that’s causing it….

Thank you for reaching out, Wesley! We're sorry to hear that your unit is smoking when cooking steak, and we'd like to let you know that we recommend using one of the following oils when grilling: - Canola. - Refined coconut. - Avocado. - Vegetable. - Grapeseed. However, we do not recommend using the following oils when grilling as they tend to smoke at low temperatures: - Olive. - Butter. - Margarine. We hope this helps!
I have the same question. I bought mine, then got covid, so haven't tried it yet, still in the box. I'm now looking at all these reviews & vids to decide if I even want to keep it! Originally I was looking for just an indoor grill.
Has anyone else had a problem with getting the unit and the preset light not working? Ninja is going to send us another one but they are charging $20. It happened the first time it was used. I really think they should replace it for free. If you buy one I highly recommend plugging it in right away just to see if it works.
Hello, Joev4033. Thank you for your feedback regarding the Ninja Foodi Smart XL Grill splash shield. We will forward your feedback to the correct team for future products.
How are you supposed to do it?? The manual and videos say to match the grooves but on mine there are NO grooves or if there are they are barely visible or noticeable. I can never get it to stay without falling out since removing it the first time. Drives me insane I haven’t been able to use it once because of this
Thank you for reaching out to us, Maria! We are sorry, do not offer a customer service in Portuguese at the moment. If you would like, you could contact us in English, Spanish, or French.
Thank you for your feedback, Roei! It was a design decission for them not to be led. We will forward your feedback about the preset/manual not being led to the correct team for future products.
That's a great question, Levonia! With this amazing machine you can certainly use it without the thermometer. When you do not plug the thermometer into the unit, the preset options for doneness will not activate. With this said, you can still use all the other functions on this great machine.
Thank you for this very helpful ad! I was debating on getting one, but seeing the lack of a sear on those steaks shows me that I'll stick with what I already have, since I can actually get a sear... Cheers!
I have cooked 1.25” ribeyes, St. Louis style ribs, drumsticks, thighs, and Buffalo wings in mine and you can absolutely achieve a very nice crust/sear! I like my steaks medium rare and they still had plenty of crust and the fat was rendered nicely. Can I achieve the same on my outdoor grill? Of course, and actually a little bit better IF done properly. However, when I am cooking dinner on a Wednesday night and also have to prepare sides, this thing rocks. Cooks perfectly regardless of skill level, you don’t need to babysit it. Cleans up super easy.
Hello Jesse. To grill veggies on the Ninja Foodi Smart XL Grill, we recommend using the Grill function. This great machine includes an Inspiration Guide with a grill chart for temperature and cook times for all kinds of veggies and other foods. You can also view the Inspiration Guide by going to spr.ly/6051z32V9.

Hello Steven! The smallest grill we have is the AG300 series that you can find by going to www.ninjakitchen.com/exclusive-offer/AG301WBKT/ninja-foodi-5-in-1-indoor-grill-with-4-quart-air-fryer/. All of the parts for our grills besides the main unit, and any probes are dish washer safe, however we do recomend hand washing.
@@NinjaKitchenUS Thank you. I will take a look at the link. It seems like a handy grill and one would not need an electric skillet or air fryer, and I would not have to use my grill on cold days. Some things like steaks, brats and pork chops are just better on the grill. Can one cook ribs on the grill?

Thank you for letting us know, Kyle! We look forward to hearing to you to assist you further.
I'm a vegetarian. Is it necessary to select a smart setting? i.e. is there an option for strictly manual settings since I'm just needing to cook veg and plant based protein?
We are happy to confirm that you can use manual settings on the Ninja® Foodi™ Smart XL Grill.
How can you access the manual option without needing to plug in the thermometer. I have to fo that before it sows on the display
This is totally different setup than mine is. Mine I just got at the end of November 2020, it has different trays, buttons are in different areas. Mine is the newest model I guess.
Thank you for this video I just got mine and also purchased one for my son and daughter-in-law. The 1st thing I will try on it is lamb chops with roasted potatoes and asparagus. I will use the Greek way of seasoning with Olive oil lemon juice garlic and fresh rosemary.
I meant 2021, 😆 🤣 😂

The dehydrate setting removes water from (food) in order to preserve and store it. Some examples are dehydrated fruits and meats.
How do I know the temp of the food with the Foodi Smart Thermometer?
The foodi smart thermometer dose not tell you the temp of what the meat is at but what it dose is it will detect when the inside of the meat reaches the temperature you selected when you set it up for cooking.
@@NinjaKitchenUS Okay Thanks!

We are sorry to hear that you are having issues with the splatter shield. To assist you, please call us at 1-800-365-0135, and have your grill with you.
THIS THING IS A HASSLE TO CLEAN. I DONT LIKE THE SPLATTER SHIELD.
Can you please tell me where is the serial number ? I couldn’t find it to register my warranty🥲🥲🥲
Hi there, thank you for reaching out to us. Depending on the product, you will find the serial number next to a scan code on the side or back of your product. In some cases, it can be found on the bottom.
So it's like a fancy microwave.
This great system allows you to Grill, Air Crisp, Roast, Bake, Broil, and dehydrate.
Oh...it's MUCH MORE THAN THAT...without the radiation ❣
Nothing like a microwave. More like a smart oven if you’re goin to compare it to anything
Thank you for your support.
just dont use canola oil, it is very bad for you 🤢
Unbearable audio. Hope no one paid for professional production.

Hi~ How do I clean behind the heating element that looks like a coiled wire?
Hello, Sophiac! That is a great question. We can only recommend wiping down the inner hood with a damp towel or cloth.
