  • Dad's on a mission, folks! 🍔🔥 Alright, hold on to your spatulas, because this is no ordinary cleaning day at Dad's kitchen! Today on Dad Got This, we're tackling the beast itself-the Ninja Woodfire Grill. 🥷🔥
    I've had this bad boy for a year, and let's be real, it's seen some things. It's been through burger battles, steak showdowns, and probably a few too many BBQ parties. And in true Dad fashion, I've barely given it a proper cleaning. But fear not, because Dad's got a plan!
    I've been on a cleaning quest, tried the Easy Off oven cleaner, and, well, let's just say it was a "grill of horrors" situation. The steam cleaner thought it could handle the challenge, but it was more like a spa day for the grill-nice try, though.
    But then, like a beacon of hope in the cleaning aisle, I discovered the "Easy Off Cleaner Degreaser Heavy Duty" spray. 🚀✨ Now, we're putting it to the ultimate test, going head to head with a steam cleaner. It's a battle for the ages, folks!
    Will Dad's new secret weapon be the grill savior we've all been waiting for, or will the steam cleaner reclaim its cleaning glory? There's only one way to find out, and you're invited to join the cleaning comedy chaos!
    So grab your cleaning gloves, subscribe if you haven't (because who wouldn't want more Dad humor?), and let's dive into the epic cleaning adventure of the Ninja Woodfire Grill! 🕺🔧 Don't forget to hit that like button if you've ever faced a grill cleaning nightmare, and share your own cleaning escapades in the comments below!
    Dad's got this, and now, so does the Ninja Woodfire Grill! Let the cleaning games begin! 💪🧽

    I just cleaned it by:
    Placing a baking tray with a cup of lemon juice and water. Baked it for 15 min (bake settings).
    After that things started coming right off with a basic scrubber.
    Added vinegar to the cloth and it started to work really well
    Perhaps a spray degreaser would help reaching into the fan so thank you for the tip

    NEVER EVER introduce chemicals into a complex food prep device that you can not fully hose out with a hose fed nozzle. Even then, there will probably be some residue left be hind.
    A better solution is to get a spray bottle at your local hardware store and fill it with straight 180 proof grain drinking alcohol. After making sure the oven is cool, spray the insides robustly, then wipe the big stuff out with a towel. The food grade alcohol will evaporate quickly leaving no residue. Now, at this point your oven will still look black on the inside but all of the big greasy stuff will be cleaned out and your oven will cook just fine.

I desperately need to clean it but I never dreamed it could handle that much spraying of water, steam, and degreaser. Thanks for the video. I feel inspired now.

      There is no need to use it on the non stick grill plate. That comes clean so easily with just hot soapy water. I would not trust the degreaser to be safe for its finish and you eat food right off it so that would be sketchy in my opinion.

      Upon further reading of the label I see no reason it would be used outside of the correct methods as per the instructions. It says for areas that come in “contact” with food” you should only use on hard non porous surfaces. I would say all the metal on the inside of the grill qualify for that. It says to rinse it well, which I do and advocate people do also.
