Jade Hunter “So Now You Cook??”

[@Soulintent95]

Just bought this thing refurbished from amazon, with gift cards i got for christmas. I immediately cooked a burger using the grill function and my god... ive always been a cast iron guy but holy crap. This thing cooks very well. Thing is massive, i didnt realize how big it is but i love it. I cant wait to start using the dehydrate function. This device is worth the hype. It is the nicest thing i own, and im so excited to cook on it each night when i get home. Those grates are incredible quality and THICK. My burgers get some nice grill marks on them. Just a great device all around. The brush and thermometer are a nice touch, though i never need a thermometer.

[@jadehunter-sonowyoucook]

Thanks for your comment! I couldn't believe it either what an amazing product this really is and how much its replaced other items I used to cook with. Steak, burgers, fish, hot dogs.. I use it for at least 3-4 meals a week!

I love that movie !! I’ve seen it all , now I don’t know what to watch in Netflix , and of course I came here for the review of ninja xl grill

Looks great, and I think someone is waiting for you to drop something on the floor. I love my Foodi, and wish I'd opted for the XL, but it's okay.

[@jadehunter-sonowyoucook]

😆 Right?? Now I have TWO waiting for something to drop lol!! Glad you love your foodi!

I am cooking steaks tonight in our new Ninja XL Grill so I really appreciate your tutorial. I am so happy you mentioned the Himalayan Salt. I found a bottle of this in my cabinet today and it’s not expired but I had no clue what to do with it. You’ve been a tremendous help. Thank you!

[@ravenbeaudine7281]

Looks delish!! I think I want a Ninja Foodie now. Its going to be my mission to get one. I already have the Emeril Lagasse convection oven that does air fry, convection, rotisserie, bake, broil and all kinds of stuff and I absolutely love it. Now I need this. 😍

[@jadehunter-sonowyoucook]

I definitely recommend 😍 been using mine all the time! Can’t wait for these upcoming holidays!

[@damienwillis6068]

😆I thought I accidentally clicked on a “Hiking with Kevin Nealon” video..just from the music..wasn’t looking at screen as I was unboxing my Ninja foodi ..haha I’m watching the right video. 👍

[@lonestar6457]

Your Ninja prompts you to flip your steak halfway thru cooking. You leave thermometer in the steak and the Ninja will prompt you that your steak has rested and you do lose all those delicious juices. Be careful placing thermometer in steak there are illustrations! The plastic end can melt all over the inside of Ninja and ruin unit! Following the Ninja prompts would give you better grill marks on both sides! Liked and subscribed!

[@jadehunter-sonowyoucook]

[@samjosef4139]

Your mistakes are actually learning experience for all of us !

[@jeannettemateo3458]

He left out cleaning the meat. But that was great I to remove that skin from under the ribs before cooking. 13:14 The avacade oil keeps it from smoking. Yes you need it.

[@isaiahtaylor582]

do you have to use spray or oils ? or can it cook from just using the fat from the steak?

[@jadehunter-sonowyoucook]

You don’t necessarily NEED to use spray or oils (which is warns you away from, oils).. the instruction manual provides you with different options for which particular meat you’re going to grill. I used avocado spray that was recommended. Also, it says don’t spray grill, instead spray food. I will say though, not a lot of fat or juice came out of the steak, maybe the intent for this grill is to keep the juice in the steak as much as possible. This was in fact one of the juiciest steaks I’ve ever eaten 😛

[@isaiahtaylor582]

Great video. Thanks for sharing. Just hot one and im learning how to use it for the very first time. You set it on grill for 10 mins before grilling?

[@jadehunter-sonowyoucook]

Thanks for your comment! When cooking foods that require the thermometer to be put to use, after setting which type of meat, i.e. fish, pork, beef, chicken- then choosing how rare you'd like it, i.e. rare, medium rare, medium or well. The product will pre-heat for the meat for apps 10min, then will prompt you to "ADD FOOD".

You left out the fact that you should give your appliances a quick light cleaning before cooking on them for the first time. 👍🏾

I guess someone didnt read the manual: Do not use metal tongs. Also, how come there was no "rest time" for the meat.

@@andrewmccoy1596 what does being new has to do with using metal tongs with grill ? It is basic common sense. I guess being new on youtube also stopped him from reading the manual ? Try again buddy ...

Try this on for size ZP, I didn’t have anything else at the time that felt sufficient enough for me to transfer meat safely. Though I don’t owe explanation, I do NOW have high grade silicone tongs. Thank you very much

Will this thing set off smoke alarms ?

[@jadehunter-sonowyoucook]

Hi Rick! From what I’ve read from the instructions, it prompts you to avoid using butter or certain types of oils while cooking with the Ninja to avoid smoke that would essentially set it off. When grilling these steaks I suffered no smoke at all 👏🏼🙏🏼

[@candicetepezano9972]

Here from Brazil

awesome! Welcome!!

[@will300c]

hahaha olive oil? and or butter sheesh

[@daveygjuanvalldez8981]

Cooking any type of fresh meat (bacon, steaks, burgers, etc) will cause a big grease cleanup. It is up to the user how dirty they can tolerate the dirt on the the top of the device. My 40% rating says do not buy at all.

Yea don't buy anything you have to clean..... 😂

Can you marinade your meat?

[@jadehunter-sonowyoucook]

You can marinade your meat when using this grill but be sure to review the list of products NOT to use with the Ninja Grill- for example it says not to use butter because it will give a smoke effect and can burn your food.

[@janetstitt3979]

Why does every silly child cover the steaks with all the crap in these videos? Stop ruining the meat. Put the childish spices away. Bad stuff.

Every “silly” child was taught or shown by a wiser or older cook so.... explain that 👏 it’s called flavor

John, you make your steaks like my husband does. He likes bland tastes. I don’t! I like spices. We’re all different aren’t we! Our differences makes it alright to create the way we choose.

Messy review

[@jadehunter-sonowyoucook]

The comments show otherwise. Once again, I disclosed in the first 10 seconds of the video this was my first video. So, messy of you to still comment this 💩 🥰

[@lindadecarlo8259]

Not true saying it doesn't weigh much you can lift with ur pinky....so not true. This is not a light unit at a weight of 22.44lbs so why lie? This is a huge unit not only weighs a ton it takes up a alot of room. Much bigger in person! I own one and love it just say the truth! You need a big kitchen for this unit! Also you cant see a thing how to use the product because your not showing the close up on the controls as you select we cant see it at all. People dont need a close up on how to season a steak people need a close up on the controls as you select to use. Just sayin! Lol This video is a thumbs down...sorry! Annoying music

[@jadehunter-sonowyoucook]

Hey Linda! You’re simply stating your opinion on my video that I’m simply stating mine. If you don’t think it’s a light weight unit that’s your opinion... to me, it’s pretty light compared to other similar products I’ve used. Also, need a big kitchen for this unit? I live in a one bedroom apartment..... it stores away perfectly in one of my cabinet shelves. This video was meant to introduce my channel and on how I personally seasoned these steaks and my FIRST USE of the Ninja Grill. Talking about I’m a liar?? it’s my opinion. Let’s see your review?? Instead of your negative comment and dislike LOL

[@volatilememory9338]

23 lbs for me would be light but someone else smaller might think it's heavy. Don't know why would jump to conclusion that he's lying immediately. Btw you can give constructive criticism without sounding like a jerk, unless that's your moto.

[@kldda428]

why you show how not to handle this???? Delete video and record new one! Pls. do not use pepper bevor grilling - pepper is burning at high temperatures ...man - bad video - Thank you 4 nothing

[@bruce.wgamel6578]

I bought this as my first propane grill. It's been a fun, learning experience kzbin.infoUgkxCx5fHawkK9OoV-ojFrY8JLnZrFwAmvUt . I think it's a bit too pricey after looking at other grills, but it wasn't hard to put together and it works really well. I love the side burner option for heating food during a power outage. I have an electric stove and live in the South (Hurricane season), so this was a bonus. I also bought a cover for it and it has protected it nicely (the Char Broil All-Season Grill Cover 3-4 Burner: Large). Every few grill sessions, I take the rack (or grate) and burner covers off and clean them with a non-abrasive scrubby and mild soap. I wipe the excess off of the bottom as well, taking care to avoid the gas and pilot lines.
