NINJA FOODI XL GRILL RIBEYE STEAKS! | Ninja Foodi Smart XL Grill recipes!

On this video we use our New Ninja Foodi Smart XL Grill to grill up a couple ribeye steaks! We also tested the smart thermometer probe on these steaks. We set the doneness to med-rare and the probe worked like a charm. They were both perfectly grilled all the way through.

[@CookingWithCJ]

Right on! I think it was just a couple sprays. Not much

[@terrypogue]

Im coing it tonight. Medium rare, how many minutes did yours take? I’s ar boiled some potatoes and im tossing them in next to the steak. Figured to get some color on the potatoes, onion and if i have room some asparagus. Only one steak, my husband and i share since we are not big eaters. I thought id pull the steak out at 135° and figured the carryover cook would take it to 145°

[@CookingWithCJ]

Honestly I don't really remember, I think it was 3-4 min a side. But I really just cook to internal temp.

[@veewooks924]

You said you had to cook the steaks a little more even after the foodi said they were done. Is that a problem normally or was it more of a probe placement thing to get a better reading?

[@CookingWithCJ]

No it’s not a problem, I let the carry over cooking go too long. It was my fault.

[@karennelson8356]

I absolutely love your yummylicious videos👍

Do you need the timer if your using the thermostat?

[@CookingWithCJ]

No you don’t. Just cool to the temp you set it for.

[@BeccaMudtramp]

Hi CJ.. question.... when you opened'er up after the unit said it had reached temp and used your outside thermometer to check.. I couldn't quite tell, did you say that you cooked the steaks a little longer, then rested with that rest feature... or did you let them cook a little longer "in" the rest feature. I know you said they could be a little more done and wanted to let them go a couple seconds longer (4:40). Thank'ya.... great review and the steaks, be still my heart! Yum

[@CookingWithCJ]

I did say I was going to let it go for a little longer, but noticed the rest mode, so I just let it set in the rest mode to come up to temp. Thanks for watching!

[@BeccaMudtramp]

@@CookingWithCJ Ok, thank'ya.... I've been toyin' with gettin' the Grill and have been subscribed to your channel for a little while and thought I was convinced to get the grill, then saw ya with this new XL one yesterday... so now tryin' to decide on the original or this new XL.... thanks again

[@charmangonzalez2807]

Mine did not come out looking like this? they looked and tasted under cooked. it literally only took it 4 minutes to reach the preset temperature using the smart probe on medium well? What did I do wrong?

So i am wanting to buy one of these. Would u recommend the xl or the regular ? I’m thinking i need the bigger one but it’s a big jump in price. Just wanting your 2 cents please

[@CookingWithCJ]

I’m still getting to know the new xl grill, but I’ve been saying, if you plan on grilling a lot, then get the xl. If you just use the grill sparingly and air fry or bake in it, you can probably get away with the original.

Aloha CJ I'm so excited to get that!! Please keep making more videos!! How about salmon? Does it do a whole pan of brownies and cake? Can you use a regular 9×13 pan? I wanna see actually how many steaks you can actually hold in that grill. Cause it looked like only 2 could still fit. Can you also do a detailed distance between the heating element and the grill plate. How much room do you think it has? Is the watts higher then the previous model? Sorry so much questions. April

Keep the videos coming. I get so much information from them !!! 👍

[@tom_hoots]

A few bits I'd like to add: Walmart (haven't seen it elsewhere) has the XL model for quite a bit less, but it is model FG550 instead of FG551. FG551 is a "6 function" grille, while FG550 is a "4 function" grill. It lacks "Dehydrate" and "Broil," if you can live without those. Otherwise, everything is the same. Given that it's just one heating element at the top with a fan above it, I'm not sure what difference the "functions" do, other than provide different temperature ranges. I went for the FG550 and saved $80. I have the original, and just bought the XL FG550. The grill plate for the XL is HEAVIER than the one for the original -- by a few ounces. I haven't noticed any differences in the results I've gotten with the two different grills. If you don't plug the temperature probe in, the XL won't even display any of the Rare/Medium Rare/etc. stuff -- i.e., it works EXACTLY like the original one without the probe. The ONLY reason I spent another $200-ish for the XL was because the "cooking pot" in the original is enormous. All that "depth" meant that I absolutely, positively could not possibly get it to fit into my dishwasher. Not an issue for some folks, but I want to put everything in the dishwasher. The cooking pot in the XL fits in my dishwasher with ease, leaving plenty of room for all of the other parts, and a whole bunch of other stuff. Whenever I tried (and got poor results) to squeeze the original pot in my dishwasher, it took up an entire half of the bottom rack. The XL simply allowed me to have a Foodi Grill and use a dishwasher like I normally would. As far as I'm concerned, unless you need a LOT of height (original is about twice as "tall" as the XL pot), I recommend the XL. If you DON'T have something "tall" in there, it is a royal pain to try and dig something out, turn it around, and so on, with it way down at the bottom of that tall original pot. With the XL, everything is right there in front of you, easy to deal with. I'll never, ever go back to the original one.

Smaller heating element, thinner grill with less thermal capacity, and larger surface area with more food that requires more heat. Let's not forget the reduced cooking depth of the unit. No thick foods for you. Forget about baking with additional pans. OH NO! What idiot designed this. Does it even get to 500 degrees. The first unit was so successful how could they screw with it like this. I'll buy two of the original units before I buy this heat lacking pancake cooker.

So this is what I can tell you so far. If you’re going to use the grill more than the other features, then it’s a great buy. But if you’re going to be using the air fryer, baking, etc... more than the grill, then get the original.
