Hi Jelly, just got my DT251 and your steaks are making me drool! A little more red for me but I can fix that! I will be checking out the grill plate that "The Blake" mentioned. I will definitely be viewing your link above. Thank you!
John, you were made for the food network. You deserve your own show- glad to be one of the exclusive UA-cam viewers! Love your content. Keep it up brother!
Ninja hands down makes the best products for the kitchen right now, they function just like advertised or even better. Thanks John Sanders for keeping us updated on tips and new tricks you do with the products.
So glad I waited and got a Ninja oven (shorty) on sale at Sam’s, instead of jumping on a PowerXL, I’ve seen videos of the PiwerXL that show they’re junk. I thought Ninja was gimmicky and overrated, but I LOVE my Ninja oven. Decent quality and versatile. I just did ribeye steaks for the first time and for the amount of effort required, I was surprised how well they came out, and I think I can do even better. Maybe someday if this quits I’ll break down and she’ll out extra for the Ninja XL, with its added features.
@@peacefrog0521 great! good choice. it wont quit on you though...ive had the shorty for about four years now and the xl for at close to three. i gifted my son, daughter and sister in law with the xl 2 years ago and they love them. order an extra splatter screen if you can. i changed my splatter screen on the shorty after 3 years and it really revitalized the machine.
That looks delicious! Cooked perfectly. But I like mine a little more red. But hubby and 21 year old granddaughter would love this. My 19 year old granddaughter would like it no pink. I need to get one of these. I have the big Ninja Foodie. Love Ninja products and love watching you. You don't fiddle around on your videos. You get straight to it. Those of us with short attention spans need that. So thank you very much.
What about a griddle plate? And does the air fry oven come with a probe? I really want the air fryer, but I can see me cook steaks, pork chops & a whole lot of breakfast foods iwith this.
I used the grill plate in my Ninja Foodi XL Pro Oven tonight cooking up two Rib Eye bone in 1 1/2" steaks, with excellent results, two of the best steaks I've ever cooked! Thanks for the video!!
There's one unique trademark for us Texas boys. When we get excited about a good thing, our birth rights as Texican, bubbles up and we will have our say. I really do enjoy your videos!
Thanks John, love the comparison using both oven and grill methods. The steaks look great but for me, the oven looked better because it was a little less done and the way I like my steaks. Great job! Don't forget to clean up the cupboard doors, ha, ha, ha...
I am glad to see you got through the power outage from the hurricane just fine! We have pretty much decided to get one of these ovens as soon as we get past some doctor bills and it is less strain on the budget. Keep making the videos. When I finally get one I will know how to use it thanks to you! Blessings
Lodge makes a cast iron sear skillet. On a 2200 watt hot plate or high heat gas flame get the Lodge to 750 degrees and turning twice a side get grill marks branded deep into a frozen steak. I use a heavy Lodge grill press to push steak into the pan. Wrap steak in foil and with some butter and garlic bake steak at 350 degrees till you get the internal temp you want. Let rest in foil 20 minutes. This gives the flavor and ideal appearance of steakhouse grill marks. Set oven so top and bottom elements are both hot so both sides cook evenly. Try this on your cooking show, your viewers will be impressed. Use a large fan to keep the smoke alarm quiet as searing the steak outs off some smoke.
They look good, I'd pull at 120-125 based on the color though. Curious if the probs run a little colder than actual, typically grilling I'll pull at 130 and have a nice med rare. Glad to see the results before I try it myself. Thanks
Hi John, nicely done‼️ Great comparison. I saw another UA-camr do that with his oven and thought it was a great idea. I like the way you presented it👍👍
I heard about him... I am going to try to watch that soon but I'm actually at a resort about 25 miles from Durango Colorado and have not been able to get very good service even to refresh these comments but I am anxious to see it... but glad you enjoyed the video and thank you for commenting hunchovb!!!
Holy seared beef Batman! That looks like a great idea! And at $29, the grate from Ninja Parts is competitive with the Grill Grate you reviewed before. I don’t have a Ninja Grill or a countertop oven (yet), but the smaller oven goes on sale tomorrow for $139. What I do have is an old Cuisinart Griddler with intact grill plates on my junk pile waiting for me to take to the scrap yard. I just recycled those. They won’t fit in the Foodi, but will be a perfect accessory to the oven.
I totally agree with bang for your buck on these grill plates...I have never owned the grill grates but I'm sure anyone who has those will be able to use them in this Oven!!! Thanks for watching!!!
For the oven, why didn't you pull out the shelf when you needed to put in or get to the steak? You started the steaks at the side of each cooker, wouldn't they cook more evenly by placing and keeping them in the center of the shelf? Also it might help to put some water in the drawer you put at the bottom to help with the smoke. Is it possible to put one of those silicone baking sheets in the bottom of the oven under the pan (with water) to help with drippings and cleaning? Great videos thanks for sharing, keep them coming.
Thanks for doing this video, I was very curious to know if this could be done and I'm very happy to know that it can. Now if only I could find the oven with the temp probe I'd be set! Love your videos, keep them coming. Have a great day!
Hey Mr. I just got the ninja XL oven The Walmart version and started looking into videos on the oven and came across you who shares the exact same name as me John Sanders LOL it was meant to be. Had to subscribe just because we have the same name look forward to future videos.
You just saved me a bunch of money! I love my XL PRO oven, but after watching so many recipes and results from the indoor grill I was beginning to think I'd gotten the wrong appliance for my needs and was considering getting the grill. Holding me back was the expense and the space needed because my counter isn't large enough to hold both. Now I can just buy the grill plate! I do wonder just how messy the oven was after that and how hard to get it clean?
Glad I helped... the oven cleans fairly easy and I have a video on the products I use that I will link below...thanks for watching!!! ua-cam.com/video/7kubE3mSdqA/v-deo.html
It does do a really good job of it but the grill does get hotter which might have some advantages on some recipes...I will say the oven is best in my opinion of you only plan to purchase one of them... hope this helps and everyone's situation is different so please keep that in mind... and as always... thank you for watching!!!
Hey, jelly007. 👋 John I don't what it is but I keep re-watching your videos🤗. I came back to this one cause I'm a chicken girl, rarely do I fix steak. Before my Ninja never could successfully. Nevertheless, I have 1 steak question & an unexpected question. ¹) my Ninja does not have the meat probe so do set it to Whole roast @ 450°? For about about the same time (med-rare). ²) unexpected question 🤔. Your cutting board; I have one almost like your. It's been packed up fr closing up camp; couple years pre-pandemic!. Is there any special cleaning or treating I need to do? Ya know like when our cast-iron pans occasionally need re-seasoning.
¹) I think any setting that will allow 450 will work and just check internal temp with hand held thermometer...²) I use food grade mineral oil on mine and probably would be better if you happened to have done that before storing but not sure what to clean anything major off of it if that is the case...
Looks tasty just about how I like my steak cooked but I would think that 130 degrees would look a lot rarer. I generally grill my thick steaks for about 8-9 minutes on high but I have never done a 2” steak.
Hey John, did you put the splatter screen in that oven? Mine that I got from Amazon didn't come with a screen. I know you have two one with a temp probe and no splatter screen and a different model that had the screen but no probe. Is that correct or did they both come with a screen? Thanks, Carla
I’m entering this as a second comment because it’s about a different video. I watched how you fried chicken in the Foodi and loved how it came out when I tried it. When I was on Sam’s website looking for breading mix, I almost ordered powdered country gravy by mistake. When I thought about it, there isn’t a lot of difference between chicken breading and country gravy, it seems. Is this something you would be willing to try in a video and express your views, or does it sound awful to everyone but me?
Hi! Your videos are SO helpful and you're very entertaining. Thank you! I just purchased the Ninja XL Pro Air Oven, mostly to get soft, juicy flavorful veggies with less grease than frying. However, so far I haven't achieved that. By the time they're done, they're dried out, crunchy and almost burned. I'm about to take this back and consider getting the Ninja Pro Grill instead. But not sure if it will accomplish what I need for veggies either. I will say my potato fries turned out great - but sweet potato fries were awful. How do you get flavorful veggies from the XL Oven? Is it possible? Thanks so much!
I have not done vegetables in that manner so I'm not sure if I have an answer... as far as the sweet potato fries it has been a while but I used some of the frozen type and we liked them a lot... just don't remember what kind... maybe someone reading can answer the vegetable question...thanks for watching!!!
Both units seem to give out a fair amount of smoke. is this always the case when grilling? Do you think the grill plate can work in the Ninja Foodi Air Fry Oven (the flip-up one) ?
I’ve been thinking of gettin an Ninja air fryer and toaster oven but I’ve read complaints that they are very loud. What do you think? My kitchen is off the family room so would it bother the family while I’m using it?
It is not any louder than most of the others I have...I run mine in the same room I watch television in and it doesn't bother me at all...thanks for watching!!!
I'm arguably late to the video and recently stumbled across the channel. I love the content. My only question specific to this video is why you didn't place the steaks in the middle of the sear plate on both devices. I ask this because I would imagine that having a steak closer to the side wall of a machine might restrict airflow (but more significantly might increase temperature) rather than having it be in the middle. On the Ninja XL the convection fan is located in the back of the machine in the middle so I presume that might disperse hot air more equal in the middle than having the meat refined to only 3 open sides where the 4th side is up again the wall. I think the air flow around all sides of the steak would have been better tested if they were consistently placed and kept in the middle of the grill plate which was already centered in the middle of the machine. Just an observation and maybe has no bearing but was a question that came to mind..
Could I use any cast iron grill? Assuming it fit of course. Also, have you ever seared the meat first? Is it even necessary? And 1 more question...can the ninja oven sear meat?
You lost me with the Ninja XL Pro Oven's settings .. I see the Whole Roast Setting .. but I don't get the Time .. I saw you did the Manual choice which I haven't heard of.. How many Minutes did you cook the Steak & at 130° ???
I show the functions on the first video of the DT201 and the thermometer functions on the first video of the DT251...I have linked them both below... ua-cam.com/video/umvxEILFh2c/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/jEsJTc2Vyh8/v-deo.html
Beautiful steaks !! You just can’t beat Ninjas Air Fryer grills and especially the new Ninja AirFryer Oven. Awesome! Santa Claus is supposed to be bringing me the New Ninja Air Fryer Oven and I can’t wait . 👍😊
Hi John, thank you for making this comparison video. I LOVE the knife/cleaver that you use to cut the steaks at the end, please May I ask what the make of your knife/cleaver is? Thanks John 🥀
Glad you enjoyed the video and the knife is a Shun Nakiri... These are the first real knives I've ever owned and I do like them...thanks for watching!!!
@@JohnSanders Is ‘Shun Nakiri’ the actual Brand Name please, the name of the manufacturer, or is it just the name of that type of knife/cleaver please? I’m only asking, as I am struggling to find them on Amazon. Thank you 🥀
Will the Foodi™ XL Grill Grate fit in the smaller Ninja® Foodi™ Digital Air Fry Oven? (Another great video BTW, and thank you for responding to all the comments!)
It's funny, I was just thinking about this the other day too. I figured you could always use the other cast iron you have too. My thought was to do burgers and fries at the same time
I just released a video using one to do a whole chicken in this oven...I linked it below...thanks for watching!! ua-cam.com/video/dBx5wDHYr-w/v-deo.html
Hi Jelly, As previously said, I am getting acquainted with my brand new DT251. Watching all your videos and in search of recipes to experiment with. I am new to UA-cam conversations so I ask this. Can we share recipes/experiments here (photos?) with you or do you have a blog to do this. I don't want to be clogging up the works! I read that Ninja has a blog in FB but I don't care for FB. Many thanks for all you share with us. Love how easily you give us all we didn't know we need to know! LOL You have spoken of how to clean up; I'd love to see "inside" after a greasy meal prep. ; ) Made "simple egg" recipe this morning and going to try baking this afternoon.
I love to share recipes but I only have Facebook for a method because I don't know of a way to post photos in comments here... recipes you can though... glad you enjoy my videos...I hope to have a working website one day but that has turned into something I can't quite get to come together...lol...thanks for watching!!!
I made 2 18oz NY strips in the Ninja Foodi XL PRO AIR FRYING OVEN with the grill plate, they came out perfect! The only problem I had was after. Everything cleaned up perfect except for the fins of the fan in the back. There was splater for the steaks which got on the fins and you can see they have splatter on them but are unable to get at them to clean. My fear is over time this could damage the unit. Any ideas how to clean it? I have watched many of your videos and love them. Thanks!
@@JohnSanders Thanks for your response. I absolutely love the oven!!! I have decided to get a ninja grill also. I am between the Ninja Foodi Smart XL 6-in-1 Indoor Grill and the Ninja Foodi XL Pro 7-in-1 Indoor Grill & Griddle. Do you have any advice? Is the 7 in 1 worth the extra money? I did buy the 6 in 1 sear plate from ninja for the steaks already. Again your videos are great!

Cool that you can do that. A little too done for me, but cool that you can do that.
Clearly, this resonated because the grill plate is the newest upgrade for most air fryers
Thanks Dude ! I love the comparison between both air fryers !
I recently got the power xl combo. It has the grill plate also. Going to use it in mt air fryer. Good idea.
Steaks look good! I didn’t know there was a probe for the oven. Great comparison!❤️

Why all the smoke in the ninja ? is it due to the thickness or do steaks tend to smoke up da house?

Hmmm... I'm not sure but I will give it some thought...
@@JohnSanders Thank you.
Hi! Your videos are SO helpful and you're very entertaining. Thank you! I just purchased the Ninja XL Pro Air Oven, mostly to get soft, juicy flavorful veggies with less grease than frying. However, so far I haven't achieved that. By the time they're done, they're dried out, crunchy and almost burned. I'm about to take this back and consider getting the Ninja Pro Grill instead. But not sure if it will accomplish what I need for veggies either. I will say my potato fries turned out great - but sweet potato fries were awful. How do you get flavorful veggies from the XL Oven? Is it possible? Thanks so much!
I have not done vegetables in that manner so I'm not sure if I have an answer... as far as the sweet potato fries it has been a while but I used some of the frozen type and we liked them a lot... just don't remember what kind... maybe someone reading can answer the vegetable question...thanks for watching!!!
Both units seem to give out a fair amount of smoke. is this always the case when grilling? Do you think the grill plate can work in the Ninja Foodi Air Fry Oven (the flip-up one) ?
Not the large one... And I can't remember if the one from the original grill will fit or not... Thanks for watching!!!
@@JohnSanders thanks for the quick reply!
I’ve been thinking of gettin an Ninja air fryer and toaster oven but I’ve read complaints that they are very loud. What do you think? My kitchen is off the family room so would it bother the family while I’m using it?
It is not any louder than most of the others I have...I run mine in the same room I watch television in and it doesn't bother me at all...thanks for watching!!!
I'm arguably late to the video and recently stumbled across the channel. I love the content. My only question specific to this video is why you didn't place the steaks in the middle of the sear plate on both devices. I ask this because I would imagine that having a steak closer to the side wall of a machine might restrict airflow (but more significantly might increase temperature) rather than having it be in the middle. On the Ninja XL the convection fan is located in the back of the machine in the middle so I presume that might disperse hot air more equal in the middle than having the meat refined to only 3 open sides where the 4th side is up again the wall. I think the air flow around all sides of the steak would have been better tested if they were consistently placed and kept in the middle of the grill plate which was already centered in the middle of the machine.
Just an observation and maybe has no bearing but was a question that came to mind..
JMHO, but I think he used the edges to he'd get a good sear on the other side when he flipped them?!?!?
Would love one but not able to find in the Philippines same as the Anova.
Sorry to hear that...thank you for watching!
Could I use any cast iron grill? Assuming it fit of course. Also, have you ever seared the meat first? Is it even necessary? And 1 more question...can the ninja oven sear meat?
Any car iron and add long as you leave it in there long enough and cast iron gets hot enough it will sear fine...thanks for watching!!!
Thank you! Love your videos! Just ordered the DT251 today!
I think you will be impressed... let me know what you think of it!
Try putting a little water in drip pan to help with smoking
Looks delicious!
Thank you Betty... and thanks for watching!!!
Air fried, wow !
You lost me with the Ninja XL Pro Oven's settings .. I see the Whole Roast Setting .. but I don't get the Time .. I saw you did the Manual choice which I haven't heard of.. How many Minutes did you cook the Steak & at 130° ???
I show the functions on the first video of the DT201 and the thermometer functions on the first video of the DT251...I have linked them both below...

John, would you mind sharing details about the knife you used?
It is a Shun Nakiri...I love it and have almost filled my block with all different kinds... first real knives I've ever had!!! Thanks for watching!!!
Cool ideas!!
Love that knife super sweet nice video thanks
Off topic, but can you use glass containers in the air frying oven?
Oven proof such as Corningware... but not when using the broil feature...thanks for watching!!!
Will the crisper basket from the ninja foodi xl grill also fit the oven DT201?
Could you test out the calphalon precision control air fryer for us?
I will have to look into that...thanks for watching!!!
John, is the pan on this one the same as the original oven? Does it warp at high temps? Thanks.
It is a different size and it does warp as I show in the video I linked below...thanks for watching!!!

Flash strikes first today😜
Yes he did!!! Thanks for watching!!!
Beautiful steaks !! You just can’t beat Ninjas Air Fryer grills and especially the new Ninja AirFryer Oven. Awesome! Santa Claus is supposed to be bringing me the New Ninja Air Fryer Oven and I can’t wait . 👍😊
Ole Santa's sleigh is gonna be loaded with these things...lol...I think you are going to be very impressed!!! Thanks for watching!!!
Hi John, thank you for making this comparison video. I LOVE the knife/cleaver that you use to cut the steaks at the end, please May I ask what the make of your knife/cleaver is? Thanks John 🥀
Glad you enjoyed the video and the knife is a Shun Nakiri... These are the first real knives I've ever owned and I do like them...thanks for watching!!!
@@JohnSanders Thank yo 😃👍🥀
@@JohnSanders Is ‘Shun Nakiri’ the actual Brand Name please, the name of the manufacturer, or is it just the name of that type of knife/cleaver please? I’m only asking, as I am struggling to find them on Amazon. Thank you 🥀
The brand is Shun and the knife design or type is Nakiri...
@@JohnSanders Thank you, and sorry that I’m so uninformed where this sort of thing is concerned, but I do thank you for helping me 😃👍🥀
Will the Foodi™ XL Grill Grate fit in the smaller Ninja® Foodi™ Digital Air Fry Oven? (Another great video BTW, and thank you for responding to all the comments!)
I'll have to check when I get back... glad you enjoyed it and thanks for watching!!!
@@JohnSanders thank you, Jelly007!!
It's funny, I was just thinking about this the other day too. I figured you could always use the other cast iron you have too. My thought was to do burgers and fries at the same time
That is a good idea and I'm sure would be an excellent way for say burgers and fries!!...thanks for watching!!!
I use handless Lodge cast-iron in my ovens.
I just released a video using one to do a whole chicken in this oven...I linked it below...thanks for watching!!

i tried to order on Amazon and they do Not have this one ! where can i find it?
I am not sure...I got mine on Amazon but I assume there will be other vendors eventually...thanks for watching!!!
@@JohnSanders The XL Pro oven has been selling fast. I plan to order mine next week and it should ship mid February.
Thanks
Thank you for watching!!!
John, What knife are you using to slice those steaks?
That is a Shun Nakiri...I love it!!...thanks for watching!!!
Did you set that on air fry or air roast?
I think it was air fry but quite honestly either setting would work...thanks for watching!!!
Lou Rao did a video on this previously
I haven't saw him yet...I will look when I have time and better signal... I'm out of town for a day or two...thanks for watching!!!
@@JohnSanders you are welcome
I've been all Over the Website.. NO GRIDDLE to be found.. Would you have a Link I Could Use..??
Love the Show!! 007 ;}
if you're cooking 2 inch steaks in a toaster oven in my house,, i'm gonna have to put hands on you.
You might be pleasantly surprised... but I get it because I felt the same way...lol...thanks for watching!!!
@@JohnSanders you get it;)... you better at least sear those beauties in a skillet before you put 'em that oven.
I’ve got the part and will be doing this ASAP
I really think you are going to be impressed!!! Thanks for watching!!!
Yes I have the grill plate I have a kitchen full of Ninja. So steak, pork chops, lamb chops in the oven with the grill and air fry. Awesome sauce
All of that sounds like good items for this method!!!
What is the part # having problem ordering it help please lol
It is available on ninja kitchen website under the parts and accessories tab...
Or just Google this term... "Model #: 104HY500"
Did you have the XL pro set at 450 on air fry, air roast, something else?
Thank you
I am using the "whole Roast" function on these... it is the high speed fan and heater setting for this oven...thanks for watching!!!
@@JohnSanders thank you sir! Keep on cook'in!
Hi Jelly, As previously said, I am getting acquainted with my brand new DT251. Watching all your videos and in search of recipes to experiment with. I am new to UA-cam conversations so I ask this. Can we share recipes/experiments here (photos?) with you or do you have a blog to do this. I don't want to be clogging up the works! I read that Ninja has a blog in FB but I don't care for FB. Many thanks for all you share with us. Love how easily you give us all we didn't know we need to know! LOL You have spoken of how to clean up; I'd love to see "inside" after a greasy meal prep. ; ) Made "simple egg" recipe this morning and going to try baking this afternoon.
I love to share recipes but I only have Facebook for a method because I don't know of a way to post photos in comments here... recipes you can though... glad you enjoy my videos...I hope to have a working website one day but that has turned into something I can't quite get to come together...lol...thanks for watching!!!
Looks yummy 😋 I like miy steak medium well
Thanks.. and thanks for watching!!!
I made 2 18oz NY strips in the Ninja Foodi XL PRO AIR FRYING OVEN with the grill plate, they came out perfect! The only problem I had was after. Everything cleaned up perfect except for the fins of the fan in the back. There was splater for the steaks which got on the fins and you can see they have splatter on them but are unable to get at them to clean. My fear is over time this could damage the unit. Any ideas how to clean it? I have watched many of your videos and love them. Thanks!
I have never cleaned the fan on mine and it is working fine... not sure of a good way
@@JohnSanders Thanks for your response. I absolutely love the oven!!! I have decided to get a ninja grill also. I am between the Ninja Foodi Smart XL 6-in-1 Indoor Grill and the Ninja Foodi XL Pro 7-in-1 Indoor Grill & Griddle. Do you have any advice? Is the 7 in 1 worth the extra money? I did buy the 6 in 1 sear plate from ninja for the steaks already. Again your videos are great!
I haven't used it a lot yet but I really like the the one with the griddle over the others...
