Ninja - Foodi XL Pro Indoor 7-in-1 Grill & Griddle with 4-Quart Air Fryer, Roast, Bake, Dehydrate, Broil - Silver/Black

Love this Ninja product. If you are contemplating this—just get it. It’s super easy to use and very versatile compared to my previous ninja foodie. I didn’t think I’d use the griddle but i do. I love the controls on this as well.

Awesome! Product makes grilling griddling air frying a breeze. If I had one complaint it would be that ninja products are a little on the loud side but that's it.

Very versatile and cleans up easy. I haven’t had the unit very long. The grilling feature works very well. I look forward to cooking more types of food with this unit. The grilled zucchini was delicious

This thing is awesome. I use it almost everyday, I’ve made bacon, sausage, eggs, pancakes with the griddle function. Air fried chicken, came out crispy and juicy. Grilled pork chops, burgers, strip steak, everything came out perfect. The best part is it’s so easy to clean, hot water rinse and then into the dishwasher.

Great for just about everything, breakfast , lunch and dinner

The grill is so convenient! I’ve used it for chicken wings and steak and it been amazing!

Perfect purchase! Easy to use and makes delicious food! I strongly recommend it!

Meet your new best friend in the kitchen: The Ninja Foodi Pro XL 7-in-1! It is a great “appliance” for the kitchen. It’s big enough to feed family, friends or just yourself. • The Ninja Foodi Pro XL is great because of it immense size, to cook for families and not so great if you don’t have the counter space. I will tell you, it’s big! I actually moved it and the accessories into the pantry on the lowest rung. It probably won’t blend in a kitchen because of its styling, but I don’t think the Ninja Foodi wants to blend. It wants to make an impression. It is a positive impression though, because of its utility. This XL Pro does not have the temperature thermometer. Only the “Smart” Ninja Foodi products have that thermometer. An easy to read display panel gives you updates that tell you when to place food inside, take food out and/or even turn the food over. The bright blue lettering also displays Preheating, Time and the minutes when cooking. • The basic layout of the 3 plate attachments are as follows: The Grill plate (9”x13”), a four quart Air Fryer pan that sets on top of the Grill plate and a Flat Griddle plate (12” length). The Grill plate locks into place when you line it up on the spring column toward the rear inside of the Ninja Foodi. The Griddle plate and Air Fryer pan actually set on top of the Grill when you cook with them. On the inside of the appliance top, is a special Splatter Shield. It collects the grease and keeps the Ninja Foodi from smoking, especially since this Ninja Foodi is an indoor appliance (indoor grilling). You can cook with the lid up or down, a new feature on this Ninja Foodi. • The 7 functions this Ninja Foodi cooks are: Air Crisp, Bake, Broil, Grill, BBQ Griddle, Roast and Dehydrate. Providing these types of cooking functions can help eliminate the need for other appliances. In the end this will help to free up space for the size of this Ninja Foodi. • Taking into consideration of the size, family meals are easy to prepare. It is recommended that you can cook a “platter of nachos”, or up to “6 steaks (small to medium size),” or 6 pancakes (small or medium sized) or even 4 sandwiches. Cooking these oversize meals in one Ninja Foodi requires less dishes and only one appliance to rule them all. The Ninja Foodi can also get up to around 500 degrees with even cooking on the different plates. Included is a Quick Start Guide with up to fifteen recipes and a cooking chart. • I do want to comment that this Ninja Foodi is loud when it cooks! I mean, you cannot carry a normal level conversation. When cooking, the air inside the Ninja Foodi that is released goes up at a diagonal pitch. The smell of whatever you are cooking will encompass the house. This is different from other Ninja products I own. Those products release the air straight out of the back. They are not angled up and do not make the house smell like the food you are cooking. Lastly the Ninja Foodi is heavy. It is not easy to move around. This has its positive and negative sides. It is not going anywhere once you place it on your counter. Taking it out or putting it away is a bit of a trial. That is really the only negatives that I found. Now on to the cooking! • Air Fryer part I - I decided to use the Air Fryer option for a bag of Tater Tots. The controls are not hard to learn and are very intuitive. Turn the power on, select the mode by turning the dial, in this case, to Air Frying. Once an option is selected you can change the temperature by pressing the temperature button. Then you can turn the dial to a temperature of your liking. Same goes with cook time. Press the Time button and turn the dial to your cooking time. Close the lid and the preheating begins. Depending on what you cook, will depend on how long the preheat stage will be. Three to Ten minutes is the usual time it takes to preheat the Ninja Foodi. The Air Fryer took about three minutes to preheat. Once the tater tots were ready to go in the air fry pan, the Ninja Foodi spells out ready for food. • Air Fryer part II - Once the tater tots were in, I closed the lid and the Ninja Foodi cooked them from 15 minutes. At this half way point (7 minutes), the Ninja Foodi display told me to turn the pan for even cooking. After that I closed the lid and the tater tots cooked the rest of the way. I like my tater tots pretty crispy so I cooked them for another 10 minutes. I opened the lid when the time was 0:00, and the tater tots were evenly crisp and pretty tasty. Everything was evenly cooked. I have another air fryer that cooks tater tots faster, but they are never evenly cooked like with this Ninja Foodi. • Air Fryer part III - After everything cooled off to the touch, I began to clean up after Air Frying. This was a breeze because the 3 plates are dishwasher safe or you can hand wash them. The non-stick surface made it really easy to do. Don’t forget to remove and wash the Splatter Shield. The tricky part is to remove is the grill plate. There is an orange button on the left side of the Ninja Foodi that you press and the grill plate will unlock. It is a great feature because the grill doesn’t move and only comes off when you want it to. • Grill Plate part I – Next up for me was hot dogs. I used grill plate to cook them and selected the grill option from the dial. It took about 5 minutes to Preheat. The Ninja Foodi was done Preheating when the right temperature had be reached. The display told me to “Add Food.” I opened the lid and placed the oversized hot dogs on the grill plate. • Grill Plate part II - I tend to like things crispy or thoroughly cooked. The Ninja Foodi called for 10 minutes but after turning the hot dogs, I only needed 7 minutes total. All I did at 5 minutes was turn the hot dogs. The hot dogs turned out great, cooking well with and no smoke whatsoever! • Grill Plate part III – After the grill plate cooled, I took it off by pressing the orange release button on the left side of the Ninja Foodi. It was easy to wipe the grill plate clean with just some wet paper towels. Then I put the Ninja Foodi with the accessories back into the pantry. The Ninja Foodi XL Pro 7-n-1 is simple to use and gives you great results. You may have to cook with it a few times for the approximate temperature and time to your liking. This is a “big” appliance, but it can replace other appliances leaving you with more storage. Cleaning up is easy with dishwasher safe plates and the non-stick surface for hand washing. All in all, this Ninja Foodi XL Pro is great to have in the kitchen because of its versatility and combinations for cooking meals.
