Based on these videos...I bought one! The regular size. I am HAPPY!! YES, indeed. And GIRL those biscuits were a show stopper. I have had it a week and have used it almost every day. THANK YOU!!! You are the best.
I just bought the old one this week at Costco at a huge discounted price compared to initially was...and I love it. With small counter space and I live alone so no need to cook a lot at once. I've yet to use the thermometer but I'm kinda excited to see it to work.
Brilliant demo, I've been looking at the XL as an upgrade to my original but after watching your great video I'll stay with my old one as I really prefer the deeper dish. Thank you so much. This is the best comparison on TH-cam.
Yes! Thanks you love i was undecide but now yes original more recipes pleseee i do t know how used the grill n chicken in the airfryet ah n vegetable! More video how star prwheat n used GOD BLESS YOU! AH DO YOU PREHEt first fork all recipe..
@@vivianmontilla6612 my mom has one of the egg shaped airfryers and let me try it out i couldnt figure out how to make tortino pizza rolls in it and i made gordon's breaded fish fillete and kinda got it almost good. so i was like i need one i can see the settings on so bought the original today hope i can figure things out lol
Pretty much what I’m thinking and I’m sure the chicken would have fitted without being spatchcocked in the standard grill if the basket had been removed.
WOW! Sis! This was the absolute best review and demo I’ve ever seen of ANYTHING. I appreciate you giving all those measurements too. So far, I like how the smaller one cooks the best. Thank you very much for this review. You’re VERY good at what you do.BLESSINGS🍃🌺🍃
I use a potato masher to press it down that way you don't burn yourself after you flip it and it works really well to get a broader area versus just tongs
Thank you for a brilliant review! The side by side comparison was just what I was looking for and has helped me to decide which model to go for, the original. That chicken looked delicious.
I own the original, and was considering upgrading. But I’m happy now. Thank you so much for this very helpful video. I have only used it for steaks and grilling. Yesterday I bought a whole chicken and I will be cooking it this way.
Fantastic demo!! I’m gonna buy the original now this video actually convinced me because I don’t need the extra size anyway but I like the deeper pan. Thank you indeed
I have the original foodi grill without the probe which I LOVE and was considering upgrading to the XL. Based on this video and a few others I've seen, I don't think its worth it to upgrade. Curious as to why they made the heating element so small. I'd have to get a REALLLLYYYY good deal on the XL to consider spending my coins! LOL!! Thanks for the video!
XL has a $75 off offer right now on their site. I’m on the fence, I want the original for the baking since I’ll be bringing mine abroad where appliances are nil, but the smart tech on the new one is nice for the set it and forget it features and even cooks exact rare, medium well which is insane.
Great demonstration! I can't wait to see the rib comparison! Those chickens looked wonderful! Thank you so much. I'm holding off buying either one because your videos are very helpful in my process of finally deciding on one. Right now I would go with the original but I'm going to hold off and watch some more of your great videos! Thanks again, your videos are really good!
Great video as always! I'm sticking with the original grill. It may not fit quite so many steaks or ribs, but it seems to cook better, so I'd rather batch cook!
I'm leaning that way myself. I would have been happier if they had made the original Ninja Foodi a bit longer but kept everything else the same. Thanks for watching!
@@sweetsavant Agree. Still a nice alternative for that home cook feeding a larger amount of people who love burgers and hot dogs. In my case it's just me and I do adore a spatchcock chicken, that's lunch and dinner for days! TYVM for the video!
I found one on Amazon the says it has one that has a 4 steak capacity. I just bought it. Just like the Ninja Foodi original only a little bigger. $180 I think.
The channel is growing every day! I'm grateful for each and every subscriber and more are welcome. Thank you for supporting my channel I appreciate your support!
I have the original foodi grill and the Xl model too. I just recently did a whole chicken (5.5 lbs) in the original foodi right in the bottom of the roasting pan and I didn’t have to spatchcock it. It turned out fantastic!
Thank you so much! I'm doing my due diligence on which one to buy for my place in Florida where I can't grill on my 2nd floor condo! I really enjoyed your video and subscribed to this channel!!!
Waiting on my Ninja Foodi and I came across your channel! Absolutely the best discussion and side by side comparison I have seen! Liked there is no L❤️ve button and subscribed! I be watching all your videos! You are pure Gold!
Hello very much I liked your review but the dilemma what is better than a regular nunge grill or xl what is better and more comfortable? I'm not looking to bake in a ninja.
I wish that Ninja would make a new version. And make the dimensions of it to the max of depth, width, and length as possible. Along with keeping the advance features of the X L grill. Thank you for your video!
You are so right about the original ninja foodie grill, I’m baking a whole chicken in it and was able to stuff it with onions and celery, forgot the garlic, but it is in my seasoning. I only wished I’d cut the back bone out of it. Baked for 60 minutes, and it is delicious!!!! ❤❤❤❤
This is a great video !!! I fixed a smaller chicken in the Ninja Foodi Grill and the seasoning under the skin and on top added to the flavor !! Thanks for this reminder of how to make an awesomely easy dinner !!!
Thank you for this detailed demo. I have been trying to decide and came across many videos that appear to be promotional instead of organic like yours. I am still undecided because I want evenly cooked food with the option to cook more or less with the same result. My kitchen is small so I'm leaning towards the original but would hate to make a purchase and they introduce a newer, improved version. I think I'll wait a little bit more, but will definitely decide before the new year. Thank you again.
Thank you for the demonstration. I've been thinking about a Ninja Grill and think I'm gonna have to get Smart Grill because of the with the extra width.
Foodi grill original is more versatile with stuff like ham and whole chicken, xl allows feeding more people with a smaller range of things to cook. Will depend on needed use. Ninja is getting paid whichever you choose!
Finally a review that gives us dimensions !!! And cooks a proper meal! Lol thank you so much Wow can't believe how juicy it was ! Thought I might be missing something with not getting the max version but I prefer the original! Think the wider plate is great for more items but couldn't do anything deep like a roast lamb or rolled joint so original wins
Best, most entertaining, and most honest comparison videos I’ve found! Thank you so much for just the right amount of detail, tips, and cooking real recipes I’d actually use in your demos. You helped me with my purchase decision too. Subscribed! 😁
Thanks. We still don't have the new one in Australia so ordered the old today. Feel much better about that choice after watching this. Can't wait to not have to clean my oven and especially stove top again. Have a cast-iron grilling plate on 2 elements which is causing a complete mess. Subscribed!
My old air fryer broke and I had to find a new one ASAP. I AM THRILLED WITH MY FOODI XL. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!!!! So much more surface area. I can cook both my protein and vegetable at the same time. I cut my chickens in half and roast both halves at the same time. I never liked the breasts because they're so dry, but not in this machine! And I cook it on the grill plate, not the bottom of the machine. Juicy and tender as can be! Thanks for the thorough review as it helped make my decision ❤️❤️
Perfect video demo. Thank you! I am making chicken tonight in the Foodi Grill XL. I wish I had bought the older version. Live and learn. I am still intimidated by the XL - my first air fryer.
Just bought my Ninja Foodie grill. From the results of this video, it looks like I chose the right one when I bought the small one and cant wait to follow some of your recipes, you are such a talented Chef, watching your videos make my mouth water!!! lol keep up the great Videos and God bless you!
I'll wait both of these grills out until Ninja comes out with a third, hopefully larger, deeper grill. Maybe Ninja will listen and include a larger cooking element in the top of the lid also. C'mon Ninja, make a third grill with ALL the kinks out of it soon please!
I was going to do that but the newest ones are so expensive. I went with the XL Foodi Grill without a thermometer. I just couldn't wait. I figure in a few years if they come out with another one that is nicer then this one and works just as well we will buy at Christmas time. We got a pretty good deal on this one this year.
Excellent review !!!! I think I would opt for the deeper dish. The shallower model is a little too close to the heating element for my liking, probably cutting down on some air flow, plus as food cooks sometimes it draws up and gets even a little higher. I even got rid of my old Pyrex and opted for the new deeper Pyrex glass bakers. Thank you for the link to those kitchen scissors !! This was truly an excellent demo .
i cant cook and i bought the original today at walmart for 169 i think its the only version they had of that from this video i think the original is a better buy with the deeper dishes so i agree lisa
First video, where she season she chicken appropriately! And not just throw salt and pepper on the skin and inside the chicken. Bravo! Also you have such a calm voice that makes me want to listen
Awesome video! I made some video product reviews and was going to do a Ninja Foodi Grill VS the XL comparison, but no need for me to do so, your video was spot on. I love your presentation and voice, video was pleasing to watch. I definitely subscribed. Again, AWESOME job!
Do you know if there is a difference in the btu's? Even though the grilling element is smaller in the XL, maybe the BTU's are more? Thanks for the great demo!
I normally do not like long videos but was ready to comment and subscribe at 1/3rd of the video! It is excellent, and I cannot wait to try cooking a whole chicken in my older version, which I already love! This even trumps cooking a whole chicken in my pressure cooker. Definitely worth my time! I don't even need to watch another video on how to cook in Ninjja! Thanks so much.
I just subbed! I purchased the original Ninja Foodi Grill last week! Still haven’t used it. I didn’t know the newer model existed until after I got the original. I am so happy with my purchase! Now I’m going to try it after watching several of your videos! You have such a soothing voice and your knowledge as a REAL COOK is undeniable! Keep the videos coming! Thank you! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Just got my foodi grill (smaller). I appreciate you going through the whole process. Great instructions and clear instructions. Thank you for sharing this. 😊👍🏻😊
Simple reason this test landed this way. With convection it requires 360 air flow to cook properly. You can not stuff a convection cooker. It simply will not cook right. I own both of these units and use them for different dishes or at the same time. They have different purposes. Look for discounts and sales and buy both.
Can you cook bread in the new one, say baguettes and biscuits for example. The original is much deeper which is nice for cakes and artisan size bread but I like the smart tech features on the new one. Both are exactly the same price on BBB right now. The place I’ll be bringing it to use won’t have any gadgets so the bread thing is pretty crucial for me. Bringing it to India to a small village so this will be the work horse for sure. XL seems like the better choice at the exact same price, but people love the original it seems. Thanks.
OMG! I'm so glad I found another great kitchen gadgets review channel 😍 Amazing demonstration and fantastic looking food! I subscribed and liked the video immediately!
Great video, I already own the original foodi grill and LOVE it so much I was going to buy the upgraded one too. But after watching this video I will not be purchasing the upgrade. Happy with what I have. Thanks
Thanks for the demo, but when we talking about grilling I’m thinking grill mark and grill taste . The chicken looks great but more like a baked one. I think I will pass this device. I appreciate your review.
Awesome video! We are using our smaller foodi smart grill christmas gift today (New Years day) using your instructions. Can’t wait for the crispy skin. Thank you!
Well, this was the best comparison I watched so far, but I also watched another demo, and the smaller Ninja did better in both test, so I just purchased the XL, I didn't unpack it yet, and glad I didn't, I feel now that this lovely lady cooks chicken the way I would, and the small original grill defiantly looked browner and more crispy, I also like the deep pan, also, why didn't the XL put a larger cooking element, doesn't make sense. But Gr8 demo, enjoy!!!!!
Thanks so much for your kind words. I'm so glad you enjoyed the video. The XL Foodi Grill is great as an indoor grill for up to 6 people. I think the original Ninja Foodi Grill is a better air fryer. I use it multiple times a week. Thanks so much for watching!
I really enjoy your videos! I wish you would do them more often and more of them, but I'm just being spoiled, lol. You really enjoy cooking and it shows and you are so pleasant to watch. I'm replaying this for like the third time. I'm finally doing a whole chicken I bought from trader joe's and wanted to see how you did it. You have a great voice, too. Hope mine comes out as delicious as yours looked!
I'm sure your chicken will be WONDERFUL! Thanks so much for your kind words. My goal is to upload more frequently. I plan to get on a twice a week schedule starting soon. Thank you for watching!
I also choose the original grill the chicken looked so good wow. I can not believe how good and delicious the chicken looked. Hands down the original ninja grill.
So good! I'm so impressed with how the chicken comes out in the Original Ninja Foodi Grill. I make chicken in it at least 3 times a week. Thanks for watching!
I have the one sold by Costco last year (physically more like the the original one). I also use it for baking. I have also used the Ninja baking kit pans which in the older model are pretty close to the heating element. My specific question is that with the loss of depth is it more difficult to bake and can the baking kit pans even be used?
Thank you for the excellent comparison video! I purchased prior to seeing this video - and I made the right choice! The Smart Grill is fantastic! Thanks. :)
Wonderful review thank you, I live in the U.K. the model without the probe is available here , you say it’s also available with a probe to my knowledge that’s not available here.
I just found your channel. Wow, I am so impressed. I am trying to decide which Ninja foodie grill is best for me. I have limited counter space and a minimalist kitchen, more like a galley on a small boat. *(REALLY SMALL boat). So I need something in one unit that will bake, grill, sear, and roast. I don't care about the crisper part but I am leaning toward the original. Pricing is next: how much do I want to spend? Your demo proved the original will be my best option. Thank you for cutting through the marketing BS-I really appreciate your direct, hands-on show. I just subscribed, you made that an easy choice!
Thanks so much for this video. We were looking for a second air fryer and I was on the fence on which foodi ninja air fryer to purchase. We’ve decided on the original smaller foodi due to aesthetics and cooking. Thank you!,

OMG! I'm so glad I found another great kitchen gadgets review channel 😍 Amazing demonstration and fantastic looking food! I subscribed and liked the video immediately!
Great video, I already own the original foodi grill and LOVE it so much I was going to buy the upgraded one too. But after watching this video I will not be purchasing the upgrade. Happy with what I have. Thanks
I learned a whole new method of preparing a chicken! Great video. Thanks so much!
Thanks for the demonstration, it really useful and showed me exactly what I was looking for with my new original Ninja foodi.
Thanks for the demo, but when we talking about grilling I’m thinking grill mark and grill taste . The chicken looks great but more like a baked one. I think I will pass this device. I appreciate your review.
one of the better ninja foodi reviews I have seen.
Thank you so much for your kind words and thank you for watching!
THANK YOU! LOVE THE DETAILS WHICH I LIVE FOR!!!! :)
I have the original and I absolutely love it. I like the deep pan.
I like the deep pan as well. Thanks for watching!
Thank you, for the constructive, detailed, and entertaining review. 🙏🏽👍🏽
Is it easy to clean? Also, is the cord long enough? If not, can I use extension cord with this? Thanks
Interesting review , thank you. I won't ever get rid of my patio grill, but this is an interesting product.
Awesome video! We are using our smaller foodi smart grill christmas gift today (New Years day) using your instructions. Can’t wait for the crispy skin. Thank you!
Thank you for showing which parts of the pans to use to roast a chicken I have the original ninja
Well, this was the best comparison I watched so far, but I also watched another demo, and the smaller Ninja did better in both test, so I just purchased the XL, I didn't unpack it yet, and glad I didn't, I feel now that this lovely lady cooks chicken the way I would, and the small original grill defiantly looked browner and more crispy, I also like the deep pan, also, why didn't the XL put a larger cooking element, doesn't make sense. But Gr8 demo, enjoy!!!!!
Thanks so much for your kind words. I'm so glad you enjoyed the video. The XL Foodi Grill is great as an indoor grill for up to 6 people. I think the original Ninja Foodi Grill is a better air fryer. I use it multiple times a week. Thanks so much for watching!
Awesome video! Clear explanation...kept me engaged the whole time and gained valuable objective information. Thank you.
Love the video
For me personally I'll likely upgrade since I prefer the longer platform the xl offers.
I really enjoy your videos! I wish you would do them more often and more of them, but I'm just being spoiled, lol. You really enjoy cooking and it shows and you are so pleasant to watch. I'm replaying this for like the third time. I'm finally doing a whole chicken I bought from trader joe's and wanted to see how you did it. You have a great voice, too. Hope mine comes out as delicious as yours looked!
I'm sure your chicken will be WONDERFUL! Thanks so much for your kind words. My goal is to upload more frequently. I plan to get on a twice a week schedule starting soon. Thank you for watching!
@@sweetsavant It came out so crispy and juicy. I really enjoy this machine. I'll watch out for your upcoming videos!
I also choose the original grill the chicken looked so good wow. I can not believe how good and delicious the chicken looked. Hands down the original ninja grill.
So good! I'm so impressed with how the chicken comes out in the Original Ninja Foodi Grill. I make chicken in it at least 3 times a week. Thanks for watching!
Another informative video. Thanks I just bought a Ninja Grill XL today . Trying it out tomorrow.
OG is da best! Awesome video!!
My original is on the way. Just found your channel and such a gem!! I'm so looking forward to making this this week!
I have the one sold by Costco last year (physically more like the the original one). I also use it for baking. I have also used the Ninja baking kit pans which in the older model are pretty close to the heating element. My specific question is that with the loss of depth is it more difficult to bake and can the baking kit pans even be used?
Thank you for the excellent comparison video! I purchased prior to seeing this video - and I made the right choice! The Smart Grill is fantastic! Thanks. :)
Best video I have seen, so far! Thank you!!! 😊
Wonderful review thank you, I live in the U.K. the model without the probe is available here , you say it’s also available with a probe to my knowledge that’s not available here.
This lady is wild!!! Look at the juices run down my hand! You go girl! Lol
Thank you! This was such a helpful and useful video!
I'm so glad you found the video helpful! Thanks so much for watching!
Great video showing every detail I've wanted to see.
Did you airfry? What temp and time? I have the original andairfry at 400
So are the two whole chickens about the same size? I was surprised it didn't fit into the XL very well. The regular Ninja looks a lot larger inside.
I just found your channel. Wow, I am so impressed. I am trying to decide which Ninja foodie grill is best for me. I have limited counter space and a minimalist kitchen, more like a galley on a small boat. *(REALLY SMALL boat). So I need something in one unit that will bake, grill, sear, and roast. I don't care about the crisper part but I am leaning toward the original. Pricing is next: how much do I want to spend? Your demo proved the original will be my best option. Thank you for cutting through the marketing BS-I really appreciate your direct, hands-on show. I just subscribed, you made that an easy choice!
Thanks so much for this video. We were looking for a second air fryer and I was on the fence on which foodi ninja air fryer to purchase. We’ve decided on the original smaller foodi due to aesthetics and cooking. Thank you!,
Excellent demonstration! Thanks
