Q: QuestionCan you grill with this unit (steak, chicken, burgers, etc)?

Asked 8 months ago by TGS.

• A:Answer The Ninja Air Fryer Pro XL does not have a grilling function. It can air fry, roast, bake, reheat, dehydrate, and broil, which can give a grilled-like finish, but it does not operate as a traditional grill. For grilling, you can consider a Ninja Foodi Grill instead.

Q: QuestionI am confused as to when I have the adjustable plate setting in the middle and when I have it down in the basket. Please advise.

Asked 1 week ago by Alicepro.

• A:Answer Keep the plate at the bottom for most functions like Air Fry and Roast; it helps crisp food evenly. Use the middle position when layering or dehydrating for better airflow.

Q: QuestionHello, is this Air Fryer PTFE/Teflon free and safe for birds? I've seen some conflicting reviews as this would be highly toxic for use around pet birds if true.

Asked 1 year ago by DoubleA329.

• A:Answer I own two macaws, and use this very often with the birds out and about. Teflon will only off gas when it over 500 degrees, i dont know anyone cooking at that temperature. I cant help it if some person decided to place a pot or an on the stove and walk away letting it get over 500 degrees. Dont be guided by fear, do your homework
