Ninja Foodi XL Pro Air Fry Oven DEMO REVIEW CLEANING

[@rodneymackey4325]

This IS the absolute best video I have ever seen! Right to the point and the best part, NO MUSIC🥰

[@bestkitchenreviews]

Thanks 😀

[@jackiecross9772]

Except it does not say how to clean the back plate.

[@gingerp6478]

Your review is the best. I stopped cooking a lot after my husband passed away but this large/little gem has me cooking again. It fits under my cabinet just fine. It is easy to get into and clean unlike most other air fryer ovens. i can cook just enough for myself or cook full meals when family visits. The noise level is some louder on the air fry level but it does not overpower the kitchen. It is not any louder than my 1800 watt Cuisinart air fryer. I was not a big bagel eater but now I am. The bagel function is amazing. I got rid of my toaster. I whole roasted a chicken, it turned out golden brown all over. No more grocery store rotisserie cooked chicken for me. I soak the pans in water and I don’t have that much of a problem getting them clean. I do use foil on the baking pan when roasting. I love this oven!

I was going to get the smaller unit. I went to the Ninja site to check things out. I didn't know about the XL unit. My wife was not sure about the smaller air fryer. It was somewhat clear that she wanted a bigger capacity air fryer product. Thanks to your video. Good editing. I appreciated the content.

Use a warm wet dryer sheet first to take off the hard pieces then wash and rinse. Dryer sheets have a release agent that works great without scratching. Even on coffee stained cups!

Thank you i didn't know

[@MURRAYBROWN-n5q]

Superb! We bought one yesterday and we tried it out tonight. So easy! And clean-up was quick and easy with hot soapy water. Looking forward to more from you! 🙂

[@mariepierce2849]

I have had this unit for at least 3 yrs. It is my favorite countertop item and is frequently used. The only issue is the cleaning if you are not able to clean immediately or if you have children who don't ever clean it. It is very difficult to clean. Mine has been used so much it is almost black which I hate. I have got very good use out of it. Cooks evenly and quickly. Great for meal prepping. I will invest in another if it goes out but so far ZERO issues. Looking to try the dehydrator soon.

[@bestkitchenreviews]

Thanks for sharing 😀

[@kristinecates4692]

Great video. I got mine for Christmas year before last. It was used every day for 14 months. Then it died. I called Ninja and the best that they could offer was 30% off another unit. They could not provide me with a list of approved Ninja repair center. I was unable to locate a small repair center that would repair it. I personally do not think it lasted long enough but I would totally buy it again. I can’t be sure that my high use of the Maxine was not part of The problem.

[@rumblechick73]

I've had mine about 3 weeks now and so far the best item I've done is a London Broil. I marinate it in a zip-lock bag for a few hours or overnight. I have a small roasting pan that I line with foil and drop in a rack from another toaster oven I used to have (never throw out those pans! LOL) Cook it on broil, level 4 high for about 9 minutes per side. Comes out perfectly medium rare and so tender you can cut the slices with a fork. It works so well for this that I've made one every week. I'm still figuring out the best way to cook thick pork chops but haven't quite perfected that yet. If you have any advice for roasting a bone-in whole turkey breast I'd love to have it. The breast comes in a roasting bag and the directions say to cook it from frozen so I'm a bit unsure about leaving the bag on and the timing from frozen.

[@wandafowler4269]

You asked about Pork Chops, I use the " Air Roast " function for the Pork Chops. Hope this helps.

[@didenno9550]

Thank you from UK, this is a very good informative video. I have a few ninja products and seriously considering this as it is on offer here in UK, your video is the best review and has now madeup my mind. Thank you so much, hope your finger didn't hurt too much 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@bestkitchenreviews]

Very welcome!

[@abes.4040]

Got this unit at Walmart, I just tried pork ribs and they were very juicy, golden brown outside and perfectly cooked in the inside. Very happy with this product so far. I got it half price for some reason, probably it was a return.

[@w.j.tuckfield5438]

The hardest part to clean is the fan tough to get all the food particles out. The other thing is when it pre-heats then goes into your selected mode the timer automatic start even after you open the door, ,so now I just put my food in on the pre-heat , because it pre heats quickly. I bought this a month ago and commonly refer to it as "The Contraption"...I love it and use it almost everyday

[@kljzjj]

Thank you for the demo of actually cooking a meal, exactly the video I was looking for!

[@mikejw58]

After one use my XL oven was stained and there was no way of getting it as clean as the one shown here. As a matter of fact, I took the crumb tray out and soaked it, and it still didn't get rid of the stains that were on it. I have a hard time believing the your over looked so clean after cooking a chicken. I will not buy another one of these ovens until the inside has an enamel coating like a regular oven so it can be cleaned like a regular oven

[@karencaudle311]

Excellent introduction to this oven. I just received the Ninja Foodie yesterday and found your review very helpful.

[@ttl8me]

I'm in the market for a reliable air fryer. Found your video to be very informative. My only concern is the way the digital controls are integrated in the handle. I'm a bit concern of its durability. Maybe I'm just old school as I find the old rotary controls to be more durable...

[@x-Luchia-x]

Whah cleaning solution do you recommend for the inside of the oven? I only ask as the manual says not to use oven cleaner so would be great to know what to use as I have just got this Air Oven

[@XInfinity2024]

[@ruthybarretta7955]

And a self cleaning feature

[@videos122462]

Can i put frozen foods directly from freezer to the oven ? This really depends if ill return it . I like your videos . Thanka you

[@millzee]

I really enjoy using this oven but its impossible to clean the inside. Baked on residue will not come off. I have even tried oven cleaner as a last resort. Very frustrated with the cleaning aspect. Open for suggestions.

[@noahgreco4965]

Yes! I have the same problem. Love the oven but the cleanup is awful. You can’t just use a soft cloth. The grease bakes on and doesn’t come off. I’ve not tried oven cleaner but I did try the new Dawn cleaner. It takes off some but not all.

[@angiepattillo3599]

@@noahgreco4965 I recently read this in a Ninja group: "I just wanted to share an easy and inexpensive way to clean the inside of your xl oven. Put a pan (I used a small cake pan) of water with a couple tablespoons of vinegar in it and put on bake for half hour or 45 minutes. If it needs a heavy clean run it again after letting it cool and wiping it down. It does get grease and stuck on food to come right off."

[@janetbarnes959]

Just got my oven today and heard the lettering eventually wears off. Is this true? I don't find the oven noisy at all--like a soft white noise. How do you clean the interior of the oven?

I received this for Christmas and I was watching your video and I was very pleased and you explained everything very well thank you for that. Made me want to cook me a chicken I did cook my Christmas ham in it and was very pleased with that also I plan on using it for many other things.

[@bestkitchenreviews]

Thanks for sharing 😀

[@dianeash4560]

Can you use any of the silicone liners I see that are online for other airfryers?

[@mz.cherri8556]

Absolutely love your videos

[@bestkitchenreviews]

Thank You 😀

[@SuzanneWho]

Excellent video. Will look at your other reviews. For cleaning, could you put in a small dish of water and heat up to create some steam, then wipe down the surfaces?

[@LarkspeedNL]

The scrubber can't scratch the non stick coating because it's not non stick it's just enameled, if it were non stick it wouldn't be so hard to clean. Also the plastic scrubbers are perfectly safe to use on non stick surfaces just don't use brillo pads.

[@JerseyGirl0911]

It has a fan! That right there I’ve never seen in an air fryer oven. My apartment doesn’t have a vent and that’s an issue when I cook, sometimes I have to crack my door and windows so fire alarm doesn’t go off.

[@andrewwashere82]

She mentioned using aluminum or parchment to cover the pans. Which is what I read as well. Just wondering if anyone knows if we can also use reusable silicone mats?

[@ElenyInoueNatureFlores]

I have un question. I'm no understand the temperature go to 450 deg. But they recomend "don't use dishing washer" I think it is easier. For me no make sense. Do you know why? Thank you

[@rumblechick73]

The chemicals in dishwasher products can remove the non-stick feature from the pans over time. The temperature actually goes to 500 when using the broil function.

[@coffeendonut]

Thank you for your clear reviews! What are the dimensions of the sheet pans? Wondering if it will fit those Costco frozen food things. Thanks!

[@bestkitchenreviews]

You’re welcome! The tray measures 13.25 x 11.5 inches. 😀

[@bertalot17]

In one review of this same oven, they said not to use aluminum foil in the oven. You did here and you mentioned Ninja said you could. Is there anything in the user manual that says if and when it's safe to use aluminum foil one way or another?

[@morarivera9580]

Pages 3, 9 and 10 of the manual addresses this issue. Page 3 says not to coat the walls or the crumb tray with aluminum foil. Pages 9 and 10 state exactly the same as in this video - that you can use the foil or parchment paper to line the tray.

Ninja will send a new oven if you call them.

[@gertie2454]

Boy, I expected the inside to be way dirtier than it was after roasting the chicken. I bought mine about a week ago & the only thing I was about was keeping it clean inside.

Hi - Can you use a glass or ceramic baking dish? Thanks!

[@bestkitchenreviews]

Yes, any dish that is oven safe 😁

hi, Is the surface hot while you are using this air fryer?

[@jamessherman7797]

Thanks for your thorough and detailed review. We've had our unit about 9 months and unfortunately did not adequately clean the interior between each use. Now, the interior looks horrible with baked on grease or whatever. Any tips on how I can get the baked on residue off will be greatly appreciated. In your video you show a spray bottle with cleaner but I don't know what you're spraying the cloth with to clean the interior.

Got this unit about 9 months ago. Unfortunately, we did not clean it thoroughly enough after each use and now the interior looks horrible. I appreciate any advice on how to get this baked on grease off the interior without using a harsh chemical. We've gotten so much use out of this unit but I'm not sure it's getting as hot as it used to and the elements are clean. Toast takes much longer than it used to.

[@sicilyinyourkitchen]

Nice review! I just purchased one! I had a question: do you think it is possible to cook the chicken in one of those oven bags? 🤔 it would defeat the problem of the cleaning part 😅

[@chrisransdell8110]

Ours has a removable grease screen in front of the fan. Yours doesn't even have the bracket for it. Not sure if this was a change they made later to make it easier to keep clean or something they later got rid of to reduce costs. We got ours about the time this video was published.

[@angiepattillo3599]

Ninja no longer provides the screen. They decided that nothing goes into the fan while cooking, so it's not needed.

[@estherscegolsky1972]

It looks a bit dry because the chicken is not being basted, I make mine in the Ronco rotisserie and it comes out very moist all the time.

I whole roasted a chicken about the same size as that but I used a disposable aluminum roasting tray the sides were like 3 -4 inches tall so I had to leave my chicken in longer and at a lower temperature like 300 F and like 2 hours, I used a thermometer inside the chicken and still said 130 F after 1 hour of cooking

We have had this unit for about 4 or 5 months and, because it is so difficult to clean, it looks like it's over a year old....can't clean it when it's hot, so have to wait until it cools down and by that time grease from cooking foods stuck to the inside walls and is impossible to clean.
