Ninja Foodi XL Pro Air Oven Review and Unboxing

[@ahn1073]

*I like that I can "fry" something on a whim! An oil fryer takes so much more time to clean and prepare **MyBest.Kitchen** a chore which usually kept me from frying all together. Also, the lack of needing oil to fry means that my family and I are eating healthier... while still enjoying the crispiness of fried foods.*

Hi Philip, I am a new subscriber I am a 72 year old Filipina living here in Florida. I enjoy watching your videos, as a matter of fact I used your recipe for chocolate chip cookies, and you are absolutely right, it's the best chocolate chip cookies!! My husband loves it. I will be looking forward for more delicious food done in your new kitchen gadget. Keep up the great job you are doing, stay safe and God bless...

[@PhilipLemoine]

Hi Virginia! Thank you so much for taking the time to watch my videos and leave such a thoughtful comment. It really did make my day when I read it yesterday. I hope youre safe out there as well. Thank you so much again! Aloha!

I've seen a lot of reviews for Ninja products, but this made me really want to buy this oven. Great work!

[@PhilipLemoine]

Haha thank you! I genuinely love the oven. We use it more than our big one in the apartment.

🤣🤣🤣 I’LL BET!

[@lorriekruse5491]

This video was fun to watch. You are genuine. I love that you show your personality and didn’t edit out when you mispronounced something. Great job. And I am now leaning toward this model even though I had my mind made up on a competitor’s unit.

My parents bought me one for my tiny house on Christmas. I love it and use it at least 3-4 times a week

is it loud ?

Great video.i just roasted a 13lb turkey in mine it came out great

[@leslierolling]

Thank you for this! I’m researching appliances now as we’re planning on doing a bus conversion build. My husband wants to go electric with everything to avoid having propane and I’m trying to find the best option for a convection oven/air fryer. Cooking a small turkey has been my biggest question with every model I look at. This just sealed the deal for me :)

[@mohammedal-ahmadi8045]

I'm buying one tomorrow and that's why I'm reviewing this . Thank you

[@Louisianagirl_1126]

I just got my Ninja Foodi XL Pro today and cooked a frozen pizza for lunch and pork chops for dinner and I DID NOT even notice the fan but I have a regular size convection oven and the fan is very noisy, so the ninja fan must be quieter. This is a great video. TFS.

[@robertwren2289]

After looking at so many other air fryers, I think I'm going to put the trigger on this on. Thanks for your review. All air fryers make more noise, and this one seems the same. I like that the trays are more like a real oven, and not cheaply made like many others. I guess you kinda get what you pay for.

[@Gracian40]

Thanks for sharing! I've seen a lot of reviews on the Ninja as well as the Breville convection smart oven. However, I am leaning towards purchasing the the Ninja.

[@Political.insights]

You should! I just brought mine it’s so good

[@MeGolf92]

Can you use an aftermarket thermometer? And if so do you lose any heat with the cord between the oven door? And does Ninja recommend?

can it do proofing?

[@charmed2u2]

Would a 15x10 inch lasagna pan fit in this? 15" long x 10" across. Thanks for the info. I am looking at one of these and wondering how big of pan will fit inside this.

[@andychrist2557]

It’s fine to make pizza directly on the sheet pan, DO NOT place the pan on a lower rack with the pizza on a wire rack above it because that will just block the heat and the pizza won’t cook so evenly. Butter the pan or smear with olive oil for extra flavor and better baking results. Also (on page 14) the instruction manual actually RECOMMENDS either greasing accessories with butter or oil or covering with either parchment paper OR aluminum foil, just do not cover the roast tray.

[@LoniD719]

Doesn't the book also clearly say not to use anything other than the recommended oils (butter and olive oil are excluded.)

[@shuxu185]

Hi, Philippe, o bought this machine. I just found when I bake the cake or duck fat pastry, I followed the receipt, the temperature and the bake time, but the products seem not good. I don’t know why.

[@joshzamora9151]

The chocolate chip cookie recipe is really good.

[@marilynmb.canada9680]

Foil on the crumb tray is not recommended, but what about silicone oven liners? That would help with the cleanup and would be a great help if they are safe.

[@mikecif4123]

This review was actually useful. Thanks!

[@laurice8056]

Great video! Does the light & fan stay on when you open the door to check on your food? Is a recipe book included? How strong are the hinges on this oven? Does the door flop down when you try to just slightly open it? What is the difference between the 8 in 1 model and the 10 in 1 model? Thanks for sharing!🙏

[@haylicho5313]

Is this big enough too cook a large turkey?

[@JohnHenschen]

BTW - the DT251 with the thermometer is no longer available. Ninja seems to have removed it for sale everywhere. Makes me wonder if it has some recall issues.

[@yvettesienkiewicz5552]

I think it is sold out. It was on Amazon this morning as a lightning deal and sold out in like 15 minutes! Now I can't seem to find it anywhere as well.

[@gumballdegree]

Does this thing have dual (top and bottom) elements?

[@davidclark9086]

I have one of these and love it but there are some things I found difficult. First I need to know how to use only the top or bottom heaters and the instructions do not really give that kind of information. The fan causes problems with baking some breads because it is always on which results in one side or end of the bread drying out quicker than the other side. I would have really liked to have full details on the various functions. Air frying is the only setting that does not really need any details but I would exactly what the grill function is and how it works. Or roast versus whole roast cooking in real detail. Trial and error works great but is very time-consuming. I am still learning how to get my bread bake better. The video was well-made and very informative and I would really like to see a follow-up after he has used it for a year or more.

[@butterpecan9749]

The air fryer setting is loud as hell…Is mine broken or is it normal?

yees finally a new video 😍😍

[@PhilipLemoine]

Sorry! I been slackin! I got a great cooking one coming this week too!!

[@FunAtDisney]

Philip - Great video! I have a few questions and comments: Background: I have a 15 year old Aroma brand toaster oven that still works, it’s large and can be noisy when heating up but still performs well and gets almost daily use. However one day it will quit so I am doing research now and know I would like the air-fry and dehydration functions (although let’s face it, air-frying is just high heat with a strong convection!) We recently got a Ninja Foodi blender (the “Power Pitcher system with the “smoothie bowl” attachment) and I have to say how impressed we are so far. Well built, performs amazing and came with everything you need and great instructions - They have that down! BTW: My Aroma is 13 inches wide inside so being this is an inch wider it should accommodate some casserole dishes and the like depending on dishes side handles. My questions: Do you work for Ninja or did they just provide you with this oven and suggest what to cook in it? Are you concerned with having the controls on the handle of the door, being that the handle will rest on your counter when you open it I wonder if they could get damaged after daily use? Did the temp probe you used for the prime rib (looked so good...) come with the oven and if so, does it connect to the controls? I have plenty of probes I use on my smoker but just wondering....? And thank you!

[@louisep3241]

Is it recommended to have something under the oven to protect counters, specifically quartz counters?

[@angiepattillo3599]

No

[@laurabarbour4434]

Hey Phillip, do you know if you can stack one of these ovens on top of another (i.e., I want to use 2 of them for baking my macarons that I sell & wonder if I can put one on top of the other)?

[@susancuello4073]

I bought it 2 weeks ago. I like it but it kept triggering my fire alarm.Not all the time but 3 times now.

[@TheNinjek]

Hi! This is a really nice review. Just wanted to ask, is it totally safe to put aluminum foil in the trays? That’s how we usually do it with our (very) old traditional oven 😅 Thanks!

Thank you. At 7:35 I talk about the foil.

[@angiepattillo3599]

Ninja instructions say to turn your oven on Air Fry at 450° for 20 minutes to burn it off. Not sure if it works.

[@DenisseGP]

[@DerickZ28]

We've got this unit and it's amazing. 9:20 for the wings, that's usually how we do them. We're thinking about buying another air fry basket though so both sets get just as crispy.

[@roymackeys]

Hmmm.... sounds great! I wonder if the inside liner is teflon coated? I have a large 40 year old parrot and as most know teflon kills parrots.

[@cmvr9138]

Does it scratch easily like the Instant Omni Plus? I am not buying the Omni because it wears out really fast with lots of scratch marks on inside and on trays. The wear and tear of it is too soon. So, I am wondering about this Ninja.

[@PhilipLemoine]

I have done this with many fried things bought from the store and it doe amazing!!! I love to air fry to reheat and it come out so damn crispy!

[@michaell874]

@@PhilipLemoine I heard of a story in which someone bought fried chicken from a Shoprite supermarket, but when they went to reheat the chicken in the oven, the oil from the chicken began to smoke very badly with a pool of oil at the bottom of the oven. Even when that bottom pieces was removed and the oven cleaned thoroughly, spots of oil surfaced on or around the heat bars, which caused the oven to smoke up badly again when the person tried to toast two slices of bread. This is why I wanted to know if, since you are testing this machine, if you could perform the same task and report on it with honest feedback from your testing this oven.
