5 Must Know Ninja Foodi Grill Tips for Beginners

[@Spyrit2011]

The Ninja foodi grill cooks at very high heat. I recommend using medium settings, it's 450 degrees. The only food that cooks at 500 (high) is pizza. You'll burn things at 500 degrees. It's a non stick surface, you shouldn't need to add oil at all. Keep the grill and attachments clean, after you use it, keep the screen filter clean after every use as well. Don't use metal utensils or scrubbys on any of the ceramic attachments. If you have oven mitts, clean the grill and attachments while it is still warm, it is easier to clean, the colder it gets the harder it is to clean. Use the brush it came with to clean the surface first, order more cleaning brushes, made for the Ninja, this will keep the non-stick surface areas in good shape for a longer time. Order new attachments when you see the ceramic surface peel.

[@carmenmartinez2882]

I was wondering about what you said, I have had a Cook Essentials air fryer for several years, first of I never have to preheat, the only things I add a tiny bit of oil is french fries or things like that, never to steak or chicken, my food comes out perfect, never smokes. I was thinking of upgrading but after seeing this and other videos I’m not sure I want to, and is much pricier.

[@rooseveltday6687]

Thank you

HSN is running a sale today. I’m on the fence about buying one but I think you convinced me. Thanks.

You just saved my dinner. I purchased a foodie and the instructions were in a foreign language. I immediately looked for a video for beginners and you popped right up. Thank you so and I am now a subscriber to you

When it says “Add Food”, you have ten minutes to add the food, after ten minutes it shuts off, kinda a good safety feature.

[@NightTimeMommyReviews]

Hi Rob, you know now that I think about it, it is a good safety feature to have. Thank you for your comment :)

Thank you for these great 5 tips. I just ordered this Ninja Foodi grill . I have never seen this grill in use before. I rarely cook anything . I really found all these tips helpful. My grill is arriving in 2-3 days. I will be rewatching this video. I liked & Subscribed your Chanel!❤️👍🏼

I was about to purchase one today. Your tips made me more comfortable in buying one. I will review all of your videos before buying. 👍🏾

[@NightTimeMommyReviews]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@marieevelyncarter2418]

Just bought it 2 weeks ago. It's still in the box in the garage. Partly because of being busy & a little intimidation of reading the manual which I HATE. Your video is great. Can't wait to see your other videos & start cooking. During quarantine, so tired of labor intensive cooking or getting take out. I'd better do it soon or my partner will be very upset. LOL

[@case139]

I made a very good ribeye steak (an inch thick) using high for pre-heat (500 degrees until it beeped). Then I cooked each side for four minutes apiece, using the same high setting. That was it. Got a perfect pink medium that was very tasty and even had grill marks on each side. I did brush canola oil lightly on each side before cooking, but after I marinaded the steak. It all made a difference. You have to be sure to watch your time when you cook meats. Certainly had a better steak than I ever did with the George Foreman.

[@cburton1227]

Please don't ever disrespect a steak ever again by putting canola oil on it. Also please don't disrespect your body by ingesting canola oil. Go with some good old-fashioned butter, ghee or even avocado oil.

[@Autumn_meadow]

@@cburton1227 understood, but for the sake of your house not filling up with smoke using THIS device, you need an oil with a higher smoke point. So no olive oil or butter. Yes, there are other oils, but this was for the sake of the cooking feature. 😊

[@shawnathom3751]

[@karenkatmom3635]

[@TinoDetres]

I usually lift with my silicone finger gloves, the entire basket with whatever accessory is inside, and place it in the sink hot. I squirt some Dawn in it and fill it with hot water to the top of the grill, basket, grate, etc and let it soak till I get to it. Then I use a sponge for the smooth surfaces and a brush for the grill. Easy cleanup.

I've had my deluxe 8 in 1 large Ninja air fryer/pressure cooker since 2021 and have been waiting for the damn thing to stop working as an excuse to get this indoor Grill. It's still working... however. Prime Day was this week, so i got myself the AG301. Hell with it, I'll just have 2 Ninja's in the kitchen.

Wow I was waiting for that answer for my question and the question was why does it smoke with olive oil! I will say this is a game-changer because I love olive oil especially with me and now I need it in a little olive oil and garlic!! Can you grill it and then add a little olive oil after it's cooked when it first comes out hot??? That would be great but not to be able to use olive oil at all Hmmm???? I have to give it to you excellent tips thanks so much other side maybe in the future to get one I don't think so right now thanks a bunch Good for you!!!! You're busy and it saves you time as you put it in such a lifesaver I'm so glad you're enjoying it

[@NightTimeMommyReviews]

If you are looking to olive oil for the flavoring, I would go with extra virgin olive oil as it has a higher smoking point of 405*. Grape seed oil is great too if you were just looking for a good cooking oil with a high smoke point as it doesn't add any flavor to the food :)

[@christinalopez6564]

Is it worth it to worth it to buy I’m a mom of 4 and I can really use this .

[@NightTimeMommyReviews]

Hi Reyna, it is worth it in so many ways, however I will say if you are a mom of 4 you may need to purchase a second grill. I am family of 4 and there are times I need to make batches. If you are ok with cooking in batches, one will work as well. Thanks for watching :)

[@milkncookie]

I cook for 2 in my home but it can easily serve 3-4 depending on the size of the adult or portions. I bought 1 last year on a whim, I swear, I used it for about 75% of my cooking last year. I'll put it this way, I could count the number of times I use my stove after I had made the purchase, but I cant count how many times I've used the air fryer option on this Gadget. I'm going to go get this model with the grill option! 100% changed the way I cook now. Favorite thing: super fast and simple cooking and easy to clean. The air frying and oven functions are great, especially when I don't want to use multiple devices/Bigger appliances. Added a Grill now? YES Please!

It also comes in a spray can. as well. but it's not aerosol so its safer and better for the environment and for you're food.
