THANK YOU VERY MUCH JEREMY. I purchased one of these when on one of my whims, not knowing how to put it together. Im now about to try it. Great mate and thanks from an old 86 year old..
my man , your voice and the way you express yourself is beautiful , thank you so so so much for make it that easy that simple and that conviencing to me !
Nita McClanahan 1 second ago I so appreciated your showing the correct placement of the griddle plate. I must have set mine backwards. My food nearly slid onto the floor. I emailed Ninja but she kept referring to the placement of the grill plate. So thank you. I just found your channel, but will be checking in again.
One of the Best Tutorials I have seen for this Ninja! I was from the NJ/NY area and your version of Philadelphia cheese steak looked delish! Liked and subscribed!😎👍🏻
What an excellent overview of the machine and a great recipe tutorial. Just unboxed mine. and haven't even plugged it in yet. Looks like a magnificent device! I was hoping it could make toast easily.
Fabulous video as I've only had mine a few days...your buttons/functions are slightly different to mine as im in the UK...spent almost 5 mins trying to remove the griddle after a cooked a steak to clean it ...doh I should have watched this first...thank you for taking the time to do this...regards from the UK
This is an excellent overview of the grill/griddle units. I have the higher end with the temp probe and auto food sensing. The buttons are in a slightly different place but this video was helpful in getting the whole lid up concept understand the timer is more about how long to keep the unit 'on' vs. cooking time. Well done. Stay safe and continued success.
Great review! My comment would be, they added heat from the bottom, and a griddle. But, they took away the deep pan that came in handy to bake in. I have the older, original model, which even has a deeper pan to bake rolls in. This seems shallow, so how do you bake in it, or roast a spatchcock chicken? How would you bake Mac & cheese? For the griddle, it’s not an easy unit to move in & out of the kitchen, if space is limited. My stovetop griddle would be easier to use.
I just received the device. As with the early Flavor wave, Halogen, and convection ovens, this can be a chore to clean. I just cooked over three days some fish, breakfast sausage, and two different breaded chicken wings. I still have a previous Flavor wave sitting in the closet and I love the glass bowl for easy cleanup. The Flavor wave used to have a plastic shield instead of the glass bowl and over time it would discolor and crack. Well, I guess things progress. I heard that this Ninja is a little easier to clean. In the Flavorwave etc. the upper control panel was the hardest to clean; one time I took the blades apart to clean them but they get dirty very fast. My fish I overcooked from frozen halibut and next time I will wrap with foil; maybe I should have used Grill instead of Airfry. The breakfast sausage was easy. I cooked two different batches of chicken wings, one at 390 degrees and the second at 320 degrees. I did not want the breading to burn. I don't have a dishwasher so I wash by hand. If you like washing dishes, you will love this product. Lots of grease. Maybe you can throw the greasy grills in the dishwasher but you will have to clean the inside of the hood by hand, and be careful because it is brushed aluminum. That is the downside to all these devices. There is an advantage to one pot cooking like throw it in the oven or InstaPot. The review is nicely organized and filmed.
Hi Jeremy, Thanks for this video. I have a question here: Since this unit doesn't come with a deeper pan，how would you bake a cake or do a pork roast? Your reply will be much appreciated.
HA! Not the “giggity,” Quagmire! 🤣 Truly enjoyed this video, Bob Ross! I ordered my grill/griddle a few weeks ago and I absolutely love it. Adding this to my list of foods to make. Informative and entertaining! Thanks!
Hello Jeremy, great video. Watched from beginning to end without missing a second! I just bought this awsome ninja foodi, however my first experience is a bit confusing. Do you know this little exaustor on the top back of the airfryer, there is a metal part inside and the little grid outside. This little plastic grid started to melt just by pre heating in the Air Crisp function. Have you ever seen this happenning before? Thanks a lot in advance
We just got our grill and griddle a couple weeks ago and we got the best deal at Kohls they had 40% off of everything for 2 days only and we got $30 in Kohl's cash. I had bought my husband when we got our outdoor grill this set of 6 colored probes it's this bluetooth set and you use an app on your phone so we were good there. We paid $179.99 which is the cheapest it has been yet. We haven't used the griddle yet. I want to get the egg rings not sure which to get. I want to do eggs and pancakes plus I just want to do a grilled cheese and do hotdogs too.. We did sirloins, chicken breast and hamburgers so far. I had a grocery delivery and bought Salmon and they were out which is a bummer I was anxious to try it.
FYI I prepared pancakes on this today, it came out great. Actually I was surprised. I too would like to prepare eggs on this from time to time ( I am not a big fan of eggs). I plan on getting in the future the silicone egg rings. I am not sure where to purchase it from, but I will be looking around. My first go to will be Amazon though.
@@amandaellis7366 I bought the egg rings from Amazon and did a couple eggs my rings came with 2 round and 2 square. I fried 2 eggs and made 2 pieces of toast it was good. I did do my turkey bacon in the microwave though. I bought some hash browns too and didn't make them. But then my husband bought pancakes and I made a couple in the egg rings they were so good. I made quesadillas too. I use the griddle the most.
Jeremy my question to you is; can you use the griddle flat plate on the grill setting to get a higher sear on a steak rather than the grill lines any idea on that?
Thanks for the review! I’m going to order it now on your recommendation but want to know if you think the lifetime warranty for $80 is worth it or I should just take the one year warranty it comes with… appreciate your response before I order…thanks!
You put the griddle in backwards. The little pour spout goes toward the front not the back to match the pour spout of the grill plate. Other then that it is a great review!
haha...person after my own saturated heart. Buys air frying grill with grease catching tray just to make super greasy egg roll cheese steak fried in butter. Yes where some see a grease trap others realize thats the dip making function.
Awesome review. I didn't think I can sit through the entire video, but I did. I received my grill/griddle about 2 days ago. I am in love with this appliance. I used it for the first time today & made pancakes. I was skeptical about cooking the pancakes on this but it did an excellent job. Actually I was impressed. I came to your video because I practice putting the grill grate in twice before using it and when I was ready to prepare the pancakes. I struggled each and every time but I manage to get it in. Once I watched entire video it was definitely was a great help. I purchased the higher end model with the temperature probe & really found this easier to use than the previous grill I have. I still will use both but I think this model will definitely be used more frequently. I am curious did you use any oil when you used the air fryer function?
Thank you for your excellent easy to understand tutorial on this! You are a great teacher!
Thanks! I just got this for $143 on an Amazon flash sale and am glad I found this to learn how to use it!
THANK YOU VERY MUCH JEREMY. I purchased one of these when on one of my whims, not knowing how to put it together. Im now about to try it. Great mate and thanks from an old 86 year old..
You're very welcome!
Jeremy, did an excellent overview of the machine (best i have seen) as i lost my manual. Love his recipe tutorial.
my man , your voice and the way you express yourself is beautiful , thank you so so so much for make it that easy that simple and that conviencing to me !
Thank you! Glad I could help!

You were great explaining very well with all details how the machine works! And kind! Thank you!
Thank you. That explains very well how to grill with the lid up. I was wondering how to do that because it kept saying close the lid.
Thanks. Great explanation of the function of the new Ninja Grill and Griddle.
Great tour of this machine- thanks! You’ve answered some questions!
Nice job. Santa's bringing one for me this year. Thanks for the instructions.

I got mine from Ninja. That discount could not be beat. Can't wait for it to arrive.
Great video. Informative and really taught me how to use my new grill! and you Jeremy!
Very good job. I was already thinking you sounded like Bob Ross.
Great presentation! Merry Christmas!🎄
My friend you have done one of the most best video i have seen yet !! GREAT JOB... IM SOLD Thank you !!
Excellent video. I found it very useful with my new purchase. Thank you for posting it!
This is awesome. I don't have the ability to cook so my only option is to get the Ninja Foodi XL pro. Now I know i can make eggrolls on these!.
Clear and thorough. Excellent job. Thanks!
Excellent tutorial !
Great video. Thank you so much!
Great overview, thanks!!
Awesome tips Jeremy👍 Darn after watching you make these I’m starving
Great video. Do you have a video review of this grill Vs the Ninja DG551?
No one seems to have one. Thanks!
Thanks for the tutorial. I love my Foodi!!
Well done presentation! Clear and concise...and oh so tasty!
“Wet the tip.. giggity”😏 🤣🤣🤣🤣 lmfao

Bob Ross style cooking 👌

Amazing review, thanks!
Is there a reason you used veggie oil instead of egg wash on those wraps?

I just ordered one on the ninja website 👍

So you love onions more than your wife? I get it. 🤣
What are the measurements of the plates? and the height to use the bake function?
I can use a frying pan for this cooking.
You can't air fry bake dehydrate or roast in a frying pan
Thanks for the review! I’m going to order it now on your recommendation but want to know if you think the lifetime warranty for $80 is worth it or I should just take the one year warranty it comes with… appreciate your response before I order…thanks!
Personally, I would just go with the regular warranty. Ninja products have always been very reliable for me.
@@JeremyHill thanks for the reply!
You put the griddle in backwards. The little pour spout goes toward the front not the back to match the pour spout of the grill plate. Other then that it is a great review!
I always start cooking from the preheat stage, by the time it says 'add food' its almost done cooking
haha...person after my own saturated heart. Buys air frying grill with grease catching tray just to make super greasy egg roll cheese steak fried in butter. Yes where some see a grease trap others realize thats the dip making function.
hi you put the grill in wrong way round the spout goes to the front left side?
Thanks!
Wow! Thank you very much for your generosity!

When I air fry, I usually rub a little bit of avocado oil on fresh or raw food. I never use oil on frozen foods.
Griddle plate was put on the wrong way,the spout should line up with the grate spout
nvm I see you corrected it eventually
Are you able to open under most cabinets?
I have about 18 inches of space between my countertop and the bottom of my cabinet. I can open the grill all the way with about 2.5 inches to spare.
@@JeremyHill thank you!!
Should’ve cooked your onion after her stuff was done and then you could have your onion.
E 7 ???
Very confusing, I thought this was a new product, but it's just a Ninja Foodi MAX PRO .
not recommended to use butter
To burnt
