My Ninja doesn’t smoke at all, but I clean that screen after every single use. Often put it in dishwasher. Have had mine two years now. Love it!

Awesome tip! I’d say the large majority of people wouldn’t clean it after every use. Marc

Very smart move, Ms Ursula👍🏼👋🏼👍🏼

I've had my Ninja since last summer, and love it. I just looked today, and the screen had plastic over it. I never noticed it before, and never had any issues, no smoke or anything.

[@cindyh2610]

I’ve had my Ninja 5 in 1 grill (unfortunately it’s not the XL 😢) for 3 years and use it all the time. My only complaint is that the grill is only 10” square and the handles are in the way sometimes. One tip I’ve found to help clean the grill is to add water and run the machine for about 5 minutes. It loosens any stuck on food.

[@TheAverageKitchen]

Good tip! Thanks for the comment! - J

I use this everyday and I cant imagine my life without it! Buy it people if you have the room it is a big unit! By the way on black Friday they were reduced to $86.00 CRAZY right! I paid hundreds so I bought a few for family members!

[@TheAverageKitchen]

[@comradecrawford3318]

Got mine last weekend, used it yesterday and cooked about a hand sized steak. Salt, pepper, and olive oil on one side (says not to use olive oil but ninja can't tell me what to do 😈). Used the meat probe and put it on the higher side or medium rare. Came out perfect and tender, was blown away by the results

[@TheAverageKitchen]

That's awesome! - J

[@bluskyz7398]

In another video, it says to use oils that have higher heat points, like avocado. Oils with lower heat points like olive & canola, can cause smoking when cooking at high temps

[@TheAverageKitchen]

Very true !! Marc

You'll want to always use ghee when cooking steaks.

Banana bread, meatloaf, the best fastest garlic Parm wings, chicken quesadillas, western omelettes & biscuits, tatertot cheesy taco bake, cheesecake and a great steak. I'm quite impressed and the cooking time is 1/2-1/3 less time. It's fun and super easy to use.

[@DougCarnivore]

Sirs…when I first saw 40+ minutes on your video I thought it would be full of silliness. My hand was on FF just in case. I put down my Apple Remote because simply stated, your video was absolutely FANTASTIC. Just the right amount of humor! I was hooked when the manufacturer said don’t place the entire unit in the oven or dishwasher🤪😆. I’m being slightly facetious, of course. A little disappointed in the temp probe and your probe on the Chix temp but I’d rather have it done then not. Keep up the great work, Sirs. Doug

[@rockyfan1959]

Best review I have ever seen! I have this, I let it set for a few months, it was so intimidating to me. I have actually only cooked meat in it. It has been perfect! Strange, my burgers or anything else for that matter has not smoked. I certainly don't wash the grate every time. I have not used the air fryer part, still a tad confused on how the settings work. 😊 Anyway, perfect review....thank you! Oh, by the way, I live in the USA...I eat my meat well done! 😜

[@TheAverageKitchen]

Hahaha this comment made my day ! Thanks so much for watching and the comment. Cheers. Marc

[@leannamattea7833]

I think it probably depends on the fat content of the burgers.

[@liatrasca4031]

@@leannamattea7833 hi guys, they also mixed a bit the settings, they use the temp and settings for fresh burgers, high temperature and 9 minutes to finish, for frozen burgers the booklet said must be done at medium for 10 or 12 minutes, maybe that's the cause of excessive smoke

[@TheAverageKitchen]

Could be…

I want to try to dehydrate beef to make jerky. How long did it take for your mushrooms?

[@foxyladyx2]

Excellent video! Love your sense of humour with eachother. I have just brought this model and I have made a roast chicken with potatoes, curry in base on bake, pasta sauce on bake, chips and fish fingers on airfryer, bacon and sausages. One thing I’ve learned is it takes less time to cook on certain things. Haven’t used my oven since buying it. Wondering about difference in probe temperatures? Mine matched my own one but I’m in Uk. Was the chicken dry at all? 😊

I bought one of these recently. Really appreciate ;your video. Considering that the only fail is the carrots, not bad. I have used an air fryer for about 4 years now. Started with the pot belly one which I still like a lot but ended up getting one that I could also use as a toaster oven and some other functions 2 years ago. Have not been impressed with steaks done in either versions. I think this will be the game changer. Thank you so much for your review and your tips and helps.

[@rickhodges1731]

Well done. 1st time viewer. There air fryer toaster ovens, got one for my Wife. I like Ninja products in general. Was very interested in your review. I have a Smokeless electric grill I got from HSN here in the US. Fabulous product! Use it a lot. The devise is not 100 % Smokeless but if you activate fan it does reduce the smoke significantly! Actually got 2 of them and gave a few to family members as gifts. Not sure I will get one of these since we have enough of the type of product. But your review addressed my curiosity.

Just got this from Amazon and I must say your video was great. This is our first air fryer and I really appreciated how you demonstrated its capabilities. Honestly the only function I will probably avoid using is the meat probe. The 30 degree difference is disappointing but not a deal breaker. Looking forward to using this item. Great video.

[@TheAverageKitchen]

Thanks for the wonderful comment! - J

[@mortem3054]

Is it 30 degrees above or under

[@goldfishjy95]

From my experience with this air fryer, I think the probe doesn't work well when you stick it in half way through the cook. I've tried with frozen steaks a couple of times and it always comes out undercooked. Could be that the oil/heat from outside as you put it in affects the measurement of the meat's internal temperature

[@brokenroadhomestead609]

Amazing video! Thank you!!

[@TheAverageKitchen]

[@Timmy8719]

This is easily one of the best reviews I’ve ever watched. I truly appreciate how detailed you are through everything. I 100% plan on getting one because like your brother, I don’t grill outside during the winter lol. I only have one issue though, which one do I get! Do I get the first generation which is what you reviewed, or do I get the second generation of this grill? Oh btw! You can air fry without the crisper basket, you can actually just use the bottom basket if you needed more room. I learned that from another reviewer.

[@TheAverageKitchen]

Thanks for the review! I am going to buy this one. I never had any luck with air fryers and vegetables, excluding french fries. I think the secret is brushing a little oil on them first, but haven't tried it. By the way, what brand of Fries did you cook? They looked good! I always buy the one that doesn't taste good or cook good.

Yeh I cooked some Chinese sauce glaze pork ribs in mine fresh from the butcher and they came out beautifully. But I found using a lower temperature otherwise you know how quickly ribs burn and well done they lose their juiciness.

[@Bill-tz3wg]

Here's a thought. Throw a bunch of burgers (or anything you like to grill) on your outside grill. Cook halfway and let cool off a little. Vacuum seal them individually and put in freezer. You can prepare in bulk or small batches...whatever. Then you can pull them out of the freezer anytime and throw them on the Ninja. Happy grilling my friends from the great white north.

[@TheAverageKitchen]

Great suggestion ! Thanks for watching. Cheers 🇨🇦 Marc

[@Bill-tz3wg]

@@TheAverageKitchen - Since you're a grillin' man, here's one more. Take a pork shoulder (Boston butt roast) and put a good dry rub on it overnight in the fridge. Next day fire up your grill and mix up a bowl of basting sauce...1/2 white vinegar and 1/2 hot sauce. Cook 30 minutes per pound and turn once every 30 minutes. Brush or spray on some basting sauce every time you turn. Your roast will be almost done at the end of this (40 minutes per pound would entirely cook the roast on the grill). Take your nearly done roast and put it in a dutch oven with a cup of water. Put in a 300 degree oven and let it slow cook until the roast falls apart. Remove the roast and put in a large bowl. Remove any large pieces of fat. Pull the pork apart. Stir in your favorite bbq sauce...however much you want. And there you go, the best BBQ on earth. I take almost all of my bbq and put it into tupperware containers in the freezer for later use. I actually hold of on the bbq sauce until I take my shredded pork out of the freezer and add it in as I heat up small portions of bbq.

Thanks! Well, it air fries, grills and roasts (among other functions). So I would say yes! The only decision would be if you need a grill (like this one is) or a pressure cooker/steamer (check our review tomorrow!). - J

Easy way to test your probes is put tips in boiling water = 100 degrees C. at sea level, to find which probe is the most accurate. If anyone else already suggested that, forgive me ;)

Hi! Thank you for this video! I am very curious, did you use any cooking fat/oil on the burgers or any of the food? And do you think it’s necessary? I just bought the same exact grill today and the instructions say to NOT use certain oils. I only like to cook with beef tallow and was told not to use that in this grill. So I guess I’m wondering what your thoughts are on using tallow or is it at all necessary to use any oil/fat while grilling in this particular grill ? Thank you in advance 😊

[@TheAverageKitchen]

Hey there. Thanks for watching. To be honest, I’m not familiar with beef tallow, however, I only ever add oil to raw wings or fries. And I usually use vegetable oil, and less than a tablespoon. Hope this helps. Marc

Just what I want to do. How long does it take?

[@silviacortes1433]

I bought mine on Wednesday and I’m going to try it out today! I’m so excited and this video did help a lot! I do have a question and it might be a dumb one but, do you add oil to anything that you cooked? Since the instructions for mine says it recommends Canola/Avocado/Mala oil only 🤔

[@TheAverageKitchen]

Yes I always add oil (according to the cooking chart found in the book). And yes I use avocado oil, I believe because it doesn't burn as easily as olive oil or vegetable oil. Thanks for watching! - J

I got this after your video and have been absolutely loving it. I don't know if the recipe book you're talking about comes with a new version of the grill or not, but it seems mine was refurbished, and didn't include anything like that, so I was wondering if you could tell me exactly which book you're using for recipes. Excellent review! Thank you!

[@TheAverageKitchen]

Thanks so much! Just the book that came with it. I'm sure it would be available online if you look up the model number. Thanks for watching! - J

[@carolecote9951]

. I just bought it today. We cooked some frozen chicken wings. They were the best and very crispy too! We live in Florida and it is so hot outside, I don’t want to use the oven and sometimes too hot outside to start the grill for a quick lunch. I think I will like it. Thanks for this great review. It is very helpful !

[@TheAverageKitchen]

That’s amazing ! Really appreciate the feedback ! Marc

Hi, love your video! Just wondering if you have managed to findbout more about the different readings from the two temperature probes please?

[@TheAverageKitchen]

Hey thanks. We’ve done a ton of reviews with ninja probes. We’ve established that they are not consistent. Marc

Great video, just got mine and paid $179 Canadian at Costco. Will be doing steaks tomorrow using the probe to achieve the proper doneness at med well.

Here in Australia 🇦🇺 we have kilograms so the chicken wings @ 4LB is 1.814 kilograms so that is quite a big amount 👍🏻 I’ve been considering getting one of these appliances 😊 TY

I just ordered my ninja foodie smart XL grill so I’ve been watching a lot of videos in preparation lol! Excellent detailed video on the grill! The best one I’ve seen and I’ve been watching a lot. I do have one big question. What kind of frozen chicken wings did you use??? I have the ninja foodie pressure cooker combination but I’ve tried frozen wings and they were never any good and they didn’t brown so I’m really curious what you used. Thank you!

[@TheAverageKitchen]

Hey thanks so much for watching and the comment ! The wings are from Costco, made by a company called “Pintys”. Now, depending on where you are in the world, might be tough to find. We are in 🇨🇦. Cheers. Marc
