I just ordered this and can't wait until it gets here Friday. The mention of the Veterinarian was really funny to me. Now I know how to cook my husband's steaks lol.
Very glad you enjoyed my attempt at cooking comedy...lol...I do like mine a little on the less done side and I know a really good vetinarian that just might be able to pull that off...lol... on the serious side I honestly believe you are going to love this device and you and your husband are going to have a really good weekend!!! Thanks for watching!!!
That looks great. Last night, we made tri tip steaks and it was so good. Really really quick too. I'm super happy we got the XL version too. Used it tonight for burgers. It's great for living in an apartment.
I just received mine yesterday. This video is so helpful💅 Always better to see how it works rather than read how it works😉 Thank you do much. I like my steak "still mooing too" 🤗
Hello John, good to see you again Don’t flip. rotate , flip, rotate. Gives more flavor through twice the sear marks. Also the asparagus we like more raw than cooked. If it changes color, that’s too cooked. What’s your comparative opinion between the 300, 301, 400 Pro, and the new larger XL? To me, it looks like a lot of counter Realestate to occupy. Thanks John.
It does take a little more space and if 4 steaks or burgers are all you need in not sure it would be a must... but i do like it...lol... thanks for watching Gary!!!
John, I have to admit that I have never watched a cooking show before yours, but now I'm hooked! You do it well my friend... keep up the good work. I'm now enjoying my Ninja grill and pressure cooker with your great tips.
Man, I ordered it online before the video was over. Was wanting to for a minute and this video pushed me over the edge. I'm super excited to try it out!
Looks great John I just made a pork loin using the air crisp feature using the probe, I came out great. I set the probe to 140 and with the carry overheat it cooked it perfect to 145
Thank you for this video! Just got this unit for Christmas! 🎄. Bless you! I need me a thumbs up statue for when the kids clean their room right. Won't use it much... but still.
Looks tasty, John. We make steaks in our Ninja Grill all the time. It be neat to see if the XL grill will fit a whole rack of ribs. Thanks for sharing.☺👍
It measures 9 X 13 and i think it would do a really good job on some ribs...i think they would need to be cut down from full length though... thanks and thanks for watching!!!
Hi John, I’d love to watch a video by you comparing the Foodi XL Grill and the new Smart XL PRO GRILL AND GRIDDLE. Fingers crossed. Hope all is well. Thanks Suzie
“ propellers”? I hadn’t heard of that. I don’t use the spray avocado oil so must be unique to the spray. But just found out all avocado oils aren’t equal. Chosen Foods, Marianne and Primal Kitchen are a few of the best. Wow! 🤦🏽♀️ Love your videos 👍🏽
Lol...i do like avacado oil... either spray or liquid but not crazy about those propellants...lol... some of those can have some side effects that can easily be avoided... thanks... and thank you for watching!!!
I find that placement on the grill affects “doneness”. We have a family member who likes his steaks more “done” than the rest of us (he prefers somewhere between MW to W...it can have “some” pink). I usually select the steak that’s “more thin” for him and place it in the center of the grill. Then I place the other steaks on either side. I probe one the steaks for “med rare” (the first MR number), and once they’re all pulled out at the same time to “rest”, that middle one is usually “well enough” for him.
All that probe talk I thought I'd have to ask the kids to leave the room ;) I use my 'Meater' bluetooth probes with this; you can have 2 of them (or even 4) in at the same time & get your steaks done at different temps. Oh, and by the way: I love your videos.
Lol...I do live that Meater block it has many advantages...I love the ability to track the temps and when I'm doing a long cook on the green egg I can check out from anywhere... glad to hear you enjoy my videos and thank you for watching!!!
@@JohnSanders well I didn't get to cook the steak on it yet as it was delayed in shipping. I have cooked some hamburgers on it so far and they were delicious. :)
Try trimming the ends a bit and also pealing the asparagus. I think you’ll like your new gadget. Steaks looked very juicy, Even the well done one, which surprised me.
Just found you courtesy of Cooking with Doug, and I’m just wondering why your sweet puppy wasn’t begging for some of that steak. My dog would have been glued to the end of that counter giving me her never ending stare! Glad I found your channel!
Lol... they are usually right under my feet and don't quit starting until all is gone and dished are in the sink... I've been watching Doug for a long time and I love his channel... I'm glad you found me too and I really appreciated his shout out on his grill video... thank you for watching and welcome aboard Cathy!!!
Aloha jelly007 thank you for making these videos. I just got mine yesterday and I'm so excited to try it. Hey, do you think you can go another round trying that crispy roast pork!! Since the grill is larger, I bet it'll fit nicely. You can put a whole slab in there right!! Lol!! I enjoyed this video so much. I got so much information from it. I appreciate it!! Please make more videos and I cant wait to see what you make next!! Be safe and take care!! Coming at you all the way from Hawaii. Kim
Okay I just happened to have two NY steaks laying around and thought I would try the temperature probe. I have not used it yet but have cooked many steaks 🥩 on my Ninja XL. I WAS VERY careful to insert the probe properly. I know that about 10 minutes will give me a MR steak... maybe 11-12 minutes if it’s a little thick. After about 12 minutes the probe was not reading even 119 degrees. After sticking my Thermal pen in I yanked them off the grill. Over cooked.... bottom line is that I know how to cook a steak so no using the temperature probe for me at least on steaks.
Thanks for asking, I have looked at a few and there are many in the market... i have owned some Ronco products over the years but not recent... which one do you have?
I like the idea of rotisserie and instant Pot makes one that I have a video on...4 pound chicken is the max though... th-cam.com/video/3RZwvYuRMh8/w-d-xo.html
I have misplaced them also...lol... but I think the orange ones are made by "Joseph Joseph" but I honestly am not sure... sorry and if I locate then I will update...thanks for watching!!!
Hi John! Thanks for your videos. I have a question...can you tell me the dimensions of the Foodi 6.5 and 8 quart fryer baskets? I wanted a Ninja Foodie but my mom gifted me a CrockPot Express Crisp instead. It's definitely not a Foodi but I am thankful for it. It did not come with a fryer basket so I was going to see if one of the Foodi's would fit. Thanks for your help! Have a great day!
The 6.5 quart air frying basket is approx 5 inches tall... the 8 qt basket... approx 6.5 inches tall they are both 8.5 inches wide or in diameter but when you snap the plastic foot on the bottom it is about 9 3/8 wide... hope this helps and thanks for watching!!!
So what is the latest from Ninja. I can't spend all the money on all the gadgets. I guess I really have to look over your channel again. Playlist 2023 here we go!
Hi John! This video sold me in the grill. But.... which one? The XL is always sold out but Pro is in stock. I don’t mind waiting for the XL. What is your recommendation?
As far as grills... I like the smart XL... but depending on size you need... 4 burgers at a time or 6... Nothing wrong with the original size... Hope this helps and thank you for watching!!!
@@JohnSanders I am just cooking for me. The Pro grill is only $170 at Costco so I figure if I hate it I can always return it. Do you think it cooks as well as the XL?
I would rather have the larger... but if I knew that I would never need to cook for more than 2... and it is less money... maybe the smaller one...thanks for watching!!!

It has done well for me too...i don't always need the extra room but like having the ability...thanks for watching!!!
I so enjoy Jelly! I cooked filets and this asparagus recipe and both were fantastic! It's great to actually see how it's done.
I love hearing that... thank you for trying it and sharing your results Mr Lewis!!!
I just received mine yesterday. This video is so helpful💅 Always better to see how it works rather than read how it works😉 Thank you do much. I like my steak "still mooing too" 🤗
Lol... mooing is good!! Thanks for watching but please read the manual...I miss things sometimes... thanks again!!!

Thank you! Cooking steak tonight for the first time! Your videos are so helpful.
Great to hear... thanks for watching!!!
Nice! I just used mine with the probe to cook marinated chicken breasts. Loved them. Will be trying salmon nest. Then steak. Love the grill!
I have really enjoyed mine also Sandra... thank you for watching!!!

@@JohnSanders well I didn't get to cook the steak on it yet as it was delayed in shipping. I have cooked some hamburgers on it so far and they were delicious. :)

Just got the XL! Thanks for another informative video Jelly 007!😂
Wow one of those steaks is still moooving.😃 I want to see some fish cooked in the Ninja Foodi Grill XL. A white fish and a salmon.
I plan to do some of that... thanks for watching!!!
Happy, happy birthday Big John!!!!
Thanks Lew!!!

Really liked the video!
Glad to hear that.. Thanks for watching!!
Great video! I love the "thumbs up"
Thanks and I couldn't believe I found "the Thumb" in a clearance store...lol... thanks for watching!!!
Wouldn't it be better to cook the low temp stake and then switch to the well-done? it would tell you to flip sooner and allow for the rest function?
I have never tried that but I think that might work...thanks for watching!!!
Thanks again!
Was that preheat on high and why not just use max ?
I'm sure that would work well also...thanks for watching !!!
Baby doll I love it 😻
Thanks...thanks for watching!!!
The one on the right please. Can you make me one like that with some A1 and a beer particularly Miller High Life. Thanks. L8TR!
That does sound like a good combination...thanks for watching!!!
John.. Can you review some rotisserie ovens? I used to have a Ronco rotisserie machine to grill steaks.. and it was awesome!
Thanks for asking, I have looked at a few and there are many in the market... i have owned some Ronco products over the years but not recent... which one do you have?
@@JohnSanders I am actually looking for one right now. Nutrichef or flexzion from walmart.
I like the idea of rotisserie and instant Pot makes one that I have a video on...4 pound chicken is the max though...

@@JohnSanders Watching it right now. Thx!
Where did you find the grater for the parmesan cheese? (Everything looked delicious!)
I think I got it at Publix... but honestly do not remember...thanks for watching!!!
His accent is priceless!
Excellent
Thank you... it was very good...thanks for watching!!!
Where did you get your tongs?? Can’t find them anywhere, thank you
I have misplaced them also...lol... but I think the orange ones are made by "Joseph Joseph" but I honestly am not sure... sorry and if I locate then I will update...thanks for watching!!!
@@JohnSanders HaHaHa, I asked on an earlier video, had my wife looking, she said ask again!! Thx for your time!!
I'll look again when I get home...
I don't eat my steak well done, but that still look juicy so that's a 👍 as far as I'm concerned
I damn near lost it at ...15:19 I felt awkward watching it in silence 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yeah...i couldn't do it...lol... thanks for watching!!!
I had a boss who’d tell the waiter, “just put the raw steak on a hot plate.”

I would say yes... they both cook excellently!!! Thanks for watching!!!
I just trim the ends off about 2 inches. I just need to figure out how to fix my asparagus slower
Hi John. If you just cooking for yourself or for just 2 people, which Ninja grill would you use. The XL or the original?
I would rather have the larger... but if I knew that I would never need to cook for more than 2... and it is less money... maybe the smaller one...thanks for watching!!!
Hi John! Do you teste any difference from the meat made on the grill vs the speedi?!
thank you very much for your video.
I buy my, but the temp probe not in the box
can I buy any where one of those if any one know. thanks
Doesn’t the probe affect the asparagus cooking time ? If it’s in the meat ?
Where did you get your spatula? Looked all over
brotha- i'm a steak guy - trust and believe that is not a way to cook steak , just from seeing the inside of them
Where did you buy your fancy wristwatch?
That is a Samsung galaxy active watch 2...i love it!!!
what are the Bluetooth wireless thermometers that you usually use?
They are called "Meater" I really like them and they do a very good job... hope this helps and thanks for watching!!!
The asparagus time is the rest time for the steaks.
time time?
The only way to get your steaks the perfect thickness is to buy then whole ribeye and cut your own. Plus you’ll save a little 💰💰.
I agree...I do that sometimes myself...thanks for watching!!!
Where’d you get your cheese grater?
I think I got that one at Target...thanks for watching!!!
Is your steak not cold by the time your asparagus is done ? Can your not make them at the same time ?
I usually let my steak rest 5 to 10 minutes but I'm sure you could add the asparagus at some point during cooking
Check this too
I like my steak still mooing.
Nom Nom 🤗
I think I made that exact noise...lol...thanks for watching!!!
I need to know how to operate this stupid grill I can't even figure out how to preheat this thing ☹️
you are sweeet and very nice but please keep going....not so sloow....
Sorry about that... thank you for watching!!!
