QuestionHow do you fit the pieces inside the Ninja XL 6-1 grill to store everything together when not in use? I’ve tried to fit the standard appliance pieces inside the grill and can’t seem to make it work.
Asked 3 years ago by maoe200.
- Answer The short answer would be that you can't. I don't believe that all the pieces were meant to be stored inside while not in use. In my experience it is designed to have up 1-2 of the inserts inside the grill at any time. Unfortunately you will need to store the extra piece(s) somewhere else.

QuestionHow does it handle cooking smaller portions - like a single hamburger or 1 - 2 servings of French fries? All the documentation is geared toward cooking larger servings (multiple steaks, 2 pounds of fries, etc.)
Asked 4 years ago by Rivers.
- Answer You cook smaller portions the same way. The only change is in the time it takes to cook. For instance most recipes use the automatic 20min on the timer. If you're making a smaller batch simply decrease your cooking time. We've made single servings of many items (fries, tater tots, bacon, chicken wings) no problem just decrease cooking time.

QuestionWhat happens to the grease? Is there a pan to empty?
Asked 4 years ago by randy922.
- Answer Yes there is a pan it drains into. I purchased some foil lined bags for grease and oil from amazon. I just pour it into that! I filled up my grease jars and then some. This is a great alternative.

QuestionCan I use the air fryer and the grill at the same time
Asked 4 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer Yes if you buy a Ninja Foodi XL Combo Crisper Basket, you can for example cook a smaller portions of French fries and hamburgers at the same time. The Ninja Foodi XL Combo Crisper Basket is half the size of the crisper basket than comes with the XL grill and only uses the back half of the XL grill leaving the front half available for grilling something else at the same time. The problem is finding a place to buy this crisper basket. I found it on Kohls though. The other issue is figuring out a time and temperature to cook French fries and say hamburgers at the same time. There is a great method on YouTube to do this though if you search for using a Ninja Smart XL grill for cooking French fries and hamburgers at the same time.

QuestionWhich is the best Ninja model for grilling?
Asked 4 years ago by grill.
- Answer If it's just you the smaller version is great. If you have more than 4 people I'd suggest the XL. You'll have more grilling space and be able to fit larger cuts of meat or more burgers. One of the tricks we learned was to put a small amount of water in the bottom pan before beginning to grill. This helps to keep splattering and any possibly smoke to a minimum.

QuestionWhat size cake pan works with the Ninja Foodi XL 6in1 Series FG550
Asked 3 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer I used a regular box cake followed instructions on box and pour it right in the pan..no other pan necessary. I baked on 350 for about 20-24 minutes. Came out delicious and moist. Edges are a little crispy but still quite good it’s like eating the edges from a brownie.
