    Love Our New Magic Machine!!!

    I can not imagine our lives without our "New Magic Machine"... Our Ninja-Foodi Smart XL 6-in-1 Countertop Indoor Grill!!! We highly recommend this to anyone who wants to truly enjoy that outdoor grill taste, inside the house!!! We bought it to cook Steaks mainly but have found ourselves trying all kinds of different meats and foods in this baby!!! It is so easy to use, even to use the thermometer and set your foods to a particular doneness. Overall, we feel it was well worth the price and an excellent buy! We did only give it 4 out of 5 stars for the Quality and Ease of Use because of our personal opinion. We feel that the wired Air Fryer Basket really feels sharp when holding it in your bare hands. I do use oven mitts though when shaking the basket at the halfway point. And the actual Grill plate is heavy for me to hold in one hand for any length of time. It does have these semi-squared arms that come up off the grill plate to hold onto, and those feel a little sharp too. We plan to upgrade to the Black Grill/Air Fryer combo Basket where you can do both at the same time. It costs a little over $30 and will go ahead and take the place of both the Wired Air Fryer Basket and the heavy Grill Plate. it's easy to find and Best Buy sells it too!!! We have been eating at home a lot more lately and already have a list of other foods to try making!!! Also, we do not clean the round upper metal grease filter located in the top portion of the Ninja each time we cook with it! We set it on my glass top stove and turn the upper oven exhaust fan on to suck out any smoke that may build up. Once we did forget after several uses and it did set off the Smoke Alarm. But again, we didn't clean the filter as often as it suggests! It cleans kind of easy by running it under pure hot water and using a dish scrub brush to spot clean it further...but again, the actual accumulation you do get is not enough to have to clean to us after each use! Photo 1 = NY Strip Steaks, Well Done. Photo 2 = In the process of cooking 1/2 lb. Burgers with thermometer. Photo 3 = That Burger and some Air Fried French Fries and a Grilled Pickle too. Photo 4 = BBQ Chicken and Street Corn from the recipe included in the Ninja booklet. Yummy!!!

    Game-Changer for Beginners Like Me!

    I’m far from a seasoned chef, but getting the Ninja Foodi Smart has completely changed my kitchen game. I picked this up as I started making healthier choices and adding more protein to my diet, especially after workouts, and honestly, it makes cooking so much easier and way less intimidating. In just 10 to 20 minutes, you can whip up perfectly cooked dishes, whether it’s chicken, steak, veggies, or even baked goods! The smart thermometer takes the guesswork out of knowing if your food is done. Plus, with air frying, grilling, baking, and more all in one machine, it’s versatile and saves so much space in my kitchen. If you’re new to cooking or just want to make healthy meals without much fuss, this is worth it!

    Great grill

    I bought the Ninja - Foodi Smart XL 6-in-1 Countertop Indoor Grill with Smart Cook System, 4-quart Air Fryer - Dark Grey/Stainless. This is my second one and absolutely love this grill, cooks steaks very good, always nice and tender and cooks just perfect! Comes with a thermometer to check for just the right temperature. Also great for air fry, baking and broiling. Would definitely recommend.

    Must have for home or camper

    Amazing. We use Ninja several times a week in our home. I purchased this one for our camper because it has proven to be easy to use, versatile, portable and doesn’t heat up camper. Whether grilling steaks or burgers or air frying fish or potatoes the outcome is great.

    Must have

    This is by far the best thing I have ever purchased, this thing is so versatile. It really replaces almost everything. I have the Ninja crockpot that I bought on sale, and now I know why ppl swear by them. I had to write this review after the eggrolls we made. These were not fried but used the minimum amount of oil, just to brush on. The secret is to brush oil, air fry for about 6-7 mins until you see brown, then rebrush and flip until golden brown. Chicken and pork are a breeze. The space creates the best even cook, where as the older air fryer I had seem to condense air flow, but I really think the dome is what creates the best air movement to not over or under cooking the meat. Reheating is also done very well, does not dry out as most do. Made grilled cheese and hot sandwiches all day. I plan on baking something with it next. Maybe $50 dollars less I would have bought sooner, but worth the buy so far
