Great for Quick and Easy Mess-free Indoor Cooking
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Ninja Sizzle Pro XL 20-Inch Indoor Griddle + Grill is Great for Quick and Easy Mess-free Indoor Parties Packaging: Safe and strongly packaged, the grill was not complicated to unbox or set up. Taking the product box out of the shipping box was a two-person job. It did not require any complicated installation. Two cooktops were packed separately—one in the grill and the other outside. They needed to be taken out extra carefully since ceramic is breakable. There were two kinds of paperwork in the box: the manual and the warranty card information. Looks: There are two cooktop options: a slotted grill and a flat griddle. These ceramic tops are quite heavy and sturdy. The buttons in the front are pretty self-explanatory. In addition to the power button, there is a button to set the mode, a smart dial for temperature, and a button for the time. I appreciate that the display is a big neon timer that is visible from a distance. There is a sticker with cooking information, which is really helpful for quick reference. These are details that make this grill user-friendly. The slotted cover (ventilated lid) is light with a lot of slots. There is, however, no option to cover the slots if the recipe needs a higher temperature and less air supply. It is fit for indoor grilling but is likely to need ventilation. It is advisable to set the unit up near or on top of your traditional stove and turn the fan on. You do not want fire alarms going off. There are recommendations about avoiding certain types of oil to avoid smoke. I used the permissible kind but still had lots of smoke. Manual: The manual is my favorite thing in the box. The graphics are bright, and the food looks tasty. The first page clearly shows options for commonly cooked foods with curt and clear instructions on temperature and cooking time. Providing recipes is not unexpected, but that pretty cheat sheet camera is a breeze to set up and use. There was a small peel-off sticker on the cook top with tips for reducing smoke and splattering. I am not sure if this was an afterthought. This information could probably go into the book instead of separate paper. I am pretty sure I will lose it if I do not stick it in the book. Performance: The ceramic cooktop successfully delivered the promise of “edge-to-edge” heat. Although I did not use 500°F heat at this time, there were no cold spots. The surface took a little time to preheat. While the display indicates when the preheat is complete, a sticker in front of the grill makes it very clear what to expect. I simply loved the placement of stickers to make the cooking process easier for inexperienced grill-masters. The grill reached my desired temperature of 350°F in 7 minutes and seemed to stay there. The surface is big, although the unit itself is not overtly chunky. You could easily fit four ribeyes or two medium tortillas or ten standard burger patties at a time. The grill/girdle is extremely versatile. It is good for a quick weekday meal as well as an indoor party. Also, the presence of grill AND girdle means that this one unit has everything covered from an elaborate breakfast to a fancy dinner. Clean up: We ended up with quite a bit of post-cooking mess. The grease catch tray under the grill was able to catch the grease and the burnt bits. Because the cooktops are ceramic, the surface was super easy to clean. All I needed to do was take a wet paper towel and wipe down the cooktop. The manual asks for soapy water to loosen the scraps, but since the unit is new, there were no leftover burnt debris. The lid is detachable, light, and easy to clean. Storage: In order to stow away this unit, I would have really liked a way to stack the cooktops. The grill is not small enough for a normal kitchen countertop or even the cabinets. Users would probably store it in a pantry, basement, or garage. A stackable option would have made it so much easier to store. It would probably increase the height of the unit by a few inches, which might not be a big problem. Nutshell: Without the charcoal taste, it is probably not a replacement for the real deal. The Ninja Sizzle Pro XL 20-Inch Indoor Griddle + Grill is a good indoor alternative that will feed a big family or gathering. It is mess-free, easy to use, and has an excellent manual and support for novice as well as pro grill-masters.

Great if you have the counter space
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.In the realm of kitchen appliances, few categories have seen as much innovation as indoor cooking solutions, especially for those craving grilled flavors without the outdoor hassle. The Ninja Sizzle Pro XL 20-inch Indoor Griddle & Grill steps into this arena with a bold promise: to deliver authentic grilling and versatile griddling performance right on your countertop, with minimal smoke and maximum convenience. After cooking breakfast for the last 2 weeks (almost everyday), and also using it for cooking dinner, here’s some highlights of what my experience has been: Pros: Expansive 20-inch cooking surface, ideal for family meals. Precise and consistent edge-to-edge heating with ProTemp IQ. Highly versatile with interchangeable grill and griddle plates. Effective smoke suppression for enjoyable indoor cooking. Effortless cleanup with nonstick, mostly dishwasher-safe components and the built-in removable grease-trap. However the parts are quite large, so I couldn’t fit them inside my dishwasher. Durable build quality and thoughtful design for compact storage. Cons: Not entirely "smokeless" with very greasy foods or at max temperatures. Certain high smoke point oils are not recommended (e.g., olive oil), which may limit some recipes. Can take up significant counter space. Lid clearance might be an issue under some cabinets. Slight temperature discrepancies between set and actual surface readings at the edges. Preheat time may seem a little long (around 7-8 minutes on average), especially when I was quite hungry and wanted a quick meal For individuals and families who desire the convenience of indoor grilling and the versatility of a large griddle, the Ninja Sizzle Pro XL offers exceptional value. It's an ideal choice for those living in apartments or climates where outdoor grilling is not always feasible, allowing them to enjoy char-grilled flavors and large batch cooking regardless of the weather. For me living in the wet PNW region, it promises all-year usage. Despite minor drawbacks, its robust performance, thoughtful design, and user-friendly features make the Ninja Sizzle Pro XL a highly recommended addition for elevating your everyday cooking.

I Love All Ninja Products… Including This One!!
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am biased but also very truthful when it comes to Ninja products. The fact of the matter is they are all amazing. With that said, this indoor grill/griddle is great. The indoor part is the best part. The surface area of the grill and griddle pan is the next best. And third, is literally making food on it. The temp control is a huge bonus. You have two plates, as I mentioned, the grill (with the lines) and the griddle (fully flat surface). Both are a necessity. The lid is detachable for easy cleaning. The pans obviously come off and clean easily. There is a drip pan, which is always needed particularly for indoor grilling. That’s it. But that’s not it! You can control the temperature… or I should say, set the temperature and the surprising thing (yes, I was surprised) is that it still does even “cooking.” So you have that on your side! So I decided to try French toast and of course it came out great. I wanted to do pancakes but I wasn’t able to. I also made eggs, an omelet with veggies inside (I grilled them a bit first). I had the veggies on hand. When I did the veggies for the omelet, I just used the griddle pan because that is what I was using for everything else. I also grilled veggies separate from the omelet… nice. I had sausages (and not bacon, even though I love bacon the most)… yumm. Basically, I was able to make a good and easy breakfast on the griddle pan. Later on, I quickly made a few burgers from scratch and used the grill pan for those; as well as the grilled veggies (separate from the omelet veggies). They grilled really well. Yumm. I was also able to grill a couple of chicken skewers on there. It consisted of huge chicken chunks and different huge vegetable chunks. They grilled very well. I just wanted to give examples of things I was able to throw on it, which are probably typical things. In all, this is great AND fun grill to use, and you can just do it in doors. One negative, for which I did NOT knock off a star, is that when storing the Ninja Sizzle, you cannot put both pans (the grill and the griddle) together and close it. Boooo. It would have been great if one side was the grill and the other side was the griddle. But nonetheless, I love this Ninja Sizzle, and I DO recommend it. Peace.

DANGER: non-stick coating chipping, health hazard.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is my 1st of two of this grill. I returned the first one I bought from best buy due to chipped grill plates and the coating coming off (read other reviews and youll find this to be common) this second one I bought from Target and had the same problem. very dangerous and unsafe. if you buy this check the grill plates carefully or prepare to ingest non-stick coating. both plates had burrs and exposed metal where the nonstick is chipping off of BOTH grills. Read the reviews on their own site and elsewhere and youll find this is common, which is crazy. dangerous. absolute garbage quality control and a health concern. If you buy this item, check both plates carefully for burrs and exposed silver metal/non-stick chipping.

Great Intro into griddle cooking
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was very excited to try out the Ninja indoor griddle. I've been looking for a griddle to try and this one hits the spot. Pricing is great too. The size is just enough and it's not too bulky to fit on a countertop. There are many popular griddle brands out there right now but this one is just as good. After unboxing, the first thing I wanted to cook was smash burgers. I cleaned the griddle plate and power on the unit to preheat. The instruction manual recommends preheating for about 9-10 minutes. The manual also gives preferred temperatures for different types of food. The recommended heat for burgers is low or 350 degrees. Once the unit was heated to the target temperature, I began placing my beef on the griddle and started smashing. I started with about 4 patties. As stated in the manual, cooking temps are even across the griddle. Whether I was cooking on the left or right, the temp remained the same and I got the same results. The burgers came out perfectly. There's a little hole towards the front of the griddle to slide food scraps and grease to make way for additional food. I also cooked breakfast on the griddle. Pancakes, eggs, and sausage. They all came out great. I believe I'll have to do a little tweaking for the pancakes as I felt the griddle may have been a little too hot for them. But I was able to cook the pancakes, sausage, and eggs all at the same time. I was able to cook more than I could on the stove top. That's what I love most about this griddle. Now, clean up is probably the worst thing about owning this griddle. It's a good thing the lid is detachable to allow cleaning without picking up the entire unit. You'll definitely have to wipe it down after each use. So far, I've cooked turkey burgers, beef burgers, and breakfast. I can't wait to try other things as it's so easy to set up and take down. The griddle is very easy to clean. If you're new to griddle cooking, I say try this first to get your feet wet and maybe graduate to something bigger. This is a great entry level griddle and you won't be disappointed if you purchase it. It would make a great gift for someone too!

We loved it!
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We grilled burgers, hot dogs, and brats for a Memorial Day cookout using this indoor grill, as it was rainy and cold that day. As a family of five plus guests, it was great to have the extra large capacity and room to cook everything all at once versus a more typical-sized indoor grill. Even though we packed it full, everything cooked evenly and consistently, even on the edges. With other indoor grills and griddles that I have had in the past, sometimes the edges of the cooktops would not get as hot and therefore would not evenly cook, so I would have to compromise and not place as many items as the cooktop should have been able to hold—for example, if I was cooking French toast or pancakes or burger patties, instead of cooking eight at a time, I would only cook six in order to not go to the edges of the griddle space. The digital custom temperature ensures optimal control of the cooking experience. Using other similar appliances in the past, they would pretty much only have those “dial” type controls to manage the temperatures with general settings like “warm” or “hot” or “medium” or something like that. But with this griddle and grill, you can pick the precise temperature you want. And it is super easy to change between the grill plate and the griddle plate, as it is also easy simply to attach and detach the lid. This makes it a breeze to clean. The surfaces of the grill and griddle plates are touted as nonstick, and they truly are. We were able to wipe them down easy peasy lemon squeezy. And whoever thought of making the lid detachable really put effort into making the cleaning process as hassle-free as possible. The only very minor detail that I wish this indoor griddle/grill had would be a longer cord. We had to use an extension cord with it, which I would rather not do. But that detail is negligible because overall it is definitely an extremely versatile, practical, and useful appliance to have in one’s cooking arsenal.

A great size grill for your indoor BBQs
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a must-have grill if you are enjoying the BBQ for a group of 5 to 6 people (9 big size burgers). With the traditional Ninja quality that you can see in the aesthetics, but also in the speed with which the grill is acquiring the cooking temperature, this is a must-have at home. I love this: Two cooking surfaces, a 20-inch griddle plate and a 20-inch grill plate, you can cover your meat BBQ (burgers or steak), but also your hibachi-style preparations. With that size, the food for a family of 5 is prepared all at once. The cooking surface seems to reach the same temperature all over, the meat was quite uniformly cooked. The temperature range goes between 250°F to 500°F, which covers all types of culinary preparations. The temperature display is quite visible in the front of the grill. Something that is not common, and I like that the lid is also detachable and can be easily cleaned up separately from the main grill body. I need to consider this: This is a big item, so most probably you will not have it in your kitchen all the time, so you will need to find some space in your cabinets. In my house, we use it when it is raining and grilling outdoors is not an option. However, we prefer a smaller-sized toaster for regular pressed sandwiches. The combination of its size and the fact that it should be hand-washed is also an element to consider, depending on the size of your kitchen sink. In my case, some post-cleaning is required to dry the counter. I dislike this: The power cord is a bit short, which, combined with the big size of the grill, makes it a bit challenging to place in the right spot in a small kitchen with a limited counter. Ninja is a recognized brand, however, they insist on only offering a one-year guarantee to their products.

Like My Other Ninja Products, Love It!
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My Ninja Griddle Review: Another Home Run! Given my extensive collection of Ninja products – from air fryers and grills to a coffee maker for my daughter – it's fair to say I approach new Ninja purchases with a certain level of expectation, and perhaps a touch of bias! Thankfully, this new griddle lives up to the brand's stellar reputation. What I immediately loved is the convenience of cooking an entire meal on one surface, significantly reducing post-meal cleanup. My inaugural meal of perfectly cooked eggs and bacon, all done simultaneously, was a dream. If I had to nitpick, I'd wish for a slightly faster preheating time. Beyond that, I have no complaints. A future wish would be for Ninja to introduce additional specialized cooking pans for diverse food types – that would be an amazing expansion! My positive experience continued with grilled cheese sandwiches. The griddle allowed me to quickly prepare a large quantity of evenly cooked sandwiches with perfectly melted cheese. Switching to the sear grill later that night, I cooked steak and chicken quarter legs. Following the recommended temperatures, the meal was both quick and delicious, requiring minimal effort on my part. This grill has officially become my preferred cooking appliance for both individual meals and entertaining. Cleanup is remarkably easy due to the highly effective nonstick surface. A noteworthy point is the minimal need for oil or cooking spray on both the griddle and sear grill – a testament to the quality of the nonstick coating. While I can't speak to the long-term durability of the nonstick without oil, the overall construction feels exceptionally sturdy, as expected from Ninja. I wholeheartedly recommend this grill, 1000%!
