5 Must Know Ninja Foodi Grill XL Tips and Tricks for Beginners

Can we use foil paper in it

Wouldnt putting the probe into the largest meat work better, if the largest meat is the right temp then the smaller meat should be right as well.

Have to clean top door

Can you cook a ham on that Ninja Foodi? My question would be the height inside the Ninja. Example: the height of a turkey, or ham. Those two meats mentioned are about 6 to 8 inches high while laying down on it's back. I hope you understand what I am saying?

Good tip on putting the temp probe in the smaller / thinner cut of meat first and then if necessary into the thicker item to finish cooking it. I have seen advice to put it into the thickest first but I fear that means my meat will overcook for my tastes.

Do all grills come with thermometer probe?

There are electrical/heating contacts on the bottom/back of the grill pan (the little square panel) so at the very least the foil or parchment should be cut on that square to allow the lower heating element to operate properly. Of course if you are using the unit in any other mode besides grill or griddle, then the upper heating element is the only one in operation. If you mean to protect the lower griddle tray while using bake, dehydrate, air fry, etc., then I guess it doesn't matter if the contacts are covered up.

EVOO is a staple of mine. So if I keep my heat under 400, can I still use it?

Thank you so much fort his video. I've had my grill for two years and used it only once because of the preheat. Love that you are so articulate and concise... no twenty minute wait for five minutes of information. THANK YOU!

Great tips, mine just arrived today.

She talk too much, get to the point....

My machine got an E message,shut down automatic almost when the food is cooked. Massage Error

This is very helpful. Thank you for taking the time to share this information. Big help

Thank you for the tips. I just bought the 2nd Gen. I love it. It initially felt a little overwhelming, but I'm getting the hang of it.

Putting aluminum foil on it isn't a good tip...it's made the way it is for a reason...it's supposed yo circulate the air

Do u have to use oils ?

Thank you for your valuable tips... Instead of oil I use home-made Ghee that also has a high smoke point... but it is made from butter and has a nutty delicious taste... It is easy to make and keeps up to 50 years. I never use commercial Ghee that has additives and tastes awful...

Does it need to preheat!!!?

Has someone been able to find a dehydrator rack for AG551 anywhere or has used a DIY solution ?

I tried the foil trick but noticed the air doesn't circulate as well with the foil blocking it.

as a meal prep guy.. ive been making chicken breasts for years throughout the day on skillet, griddle, grill, you name it, i used it.. from over cooking to under cooking.. this thing has made it effortless and chicken is perfect everytime..

how do you cook a whole chicken? lid open or closed??

This "device" is now my vice... Yo

Ours has stopped working after a hanful of uses. Just says shut lid, even though lid is shut. Anyone else had this issue?

Where is your review of the Ninja Duel Airfryer?

Just got one last weekend! Awesome tips! I hated the clean up after cooking steak with it. The foil/parchment paper is such a great idea! Yay!

Okay I figured out why the presets buttons were not working and I won't claim operator error because the users manual doesn't mention that the LID MUST BE UP while choosing the presets at least my unit does.

You don’t show it on your video, but you have to clean the filter in the top lid after each cooking session.

Bought this off my mome this week for the Peterbilt truck. Tested the power and tested eggs on it it's amazing. Eggs Tasted Great I can make omelets on the go and cook steak etc now again. Things worth gettin!

Grape seed oil or any seed oil are the worst oil for us. Use avocado or fat

You're like the Ninja for Ninja Secrets! 🤘😜🤘 Just subscribed and also ordered one of these tonight. Nice vid.

Thank you! Just got mine!

What if it says shut lid when lid is shut.

Where would I get the parchment paper?

Thank you but also looking for dehydrating as well. Any suggestions?

We did not get a temperature probe where do we purchase it?

Do you recommend ninja foodi op300 with pressure cook? Do they grill in the same way? What are the main differences? What can't you do in foodi that you can do with the grill machine?
