WOW! I've gone thru a lot of "how to's" for this grill, and all left me without knowing the basics that even the Ninja booklet doesn't show. Thank you, Sweetsavant, for being thorough for an 88 year old man who needs step by step instructions. Now I feel safe in putting those two thick New York steaks I bought on the grill. PART TWO: I do have the grill with the temperature control. I did one of the 2 New Yorks this eve. and with only salt and pepper, had the very best medium rare NYS in my life. I can't wait to use it on other steaks.
Oh man temperature probe is working amazing, we have used this future to cook chicken,steaks, sausages it is amazing it cooks everything to your desired taste, highly recommend if have it use it.
OMG, this video is more detailed than the Ninja videos. Thank you, thank you! I was looking for a good how to video, from set up to cleaning and you’ve blown me away. I look forward to more of your videos!!!
Thanks for another very detailed review and demo. I had no idea there was a bottom heating element and the top heating element automatically works when you put the lid down. I always enjoy your reviews. GodBless 🥰
I just got mine, and with your easy to follow directions I was able to cook a dinner for 4 adults everything you showed here I cooked it was a great dinner so good my son-in-law purchased theirs thank you from a 1st time user.
Heard many people love cooking theirs ribeyes in the air fryer crisper. Usually 400 for 12 minutes, turn at 5 for medium rare, so there's a nice crisp to it. Would like to see you cook one in the air fryer. Thank you,
Love this video, my old man helped me get one of these for Christmas so I have been checking out videos of people using this product. I find your real world use of three of these functions to be excellent. No BS or anything like that. I like it. Can't wait to use this product. Thank you for showcasing this product. It looks awesome.
@@sweetsavant totally my pleasure, would love to see more recipes on this thing, like your take on smash burgers, chicken lo mein, crab rangoon, Buffalo chicken tenders, etc.
Returned our 7 in 1. Reminded me of the Foreman Grill days, food is sitting in the grease, it does not drain as well, food slides down, etc. Prefer the open grill design of the 5 in 1 for true grilling like outdoor grills.
THANK YOU! You did a wonderful job actually showing me how to use this device. I got mine a few months ago but was confused by the company's lack of clear directions on the front panel. I am ready to get cooking.
Hi, I really enjoyed your video. I have a Foodi Smart XL Grill. I have used the smart 1 time for a steak, it wasn't right so I haven't used it since. I would love to have this new grill but the plate needs to have higher sides according to the problems you had with the rice, etc. I hope they correct it so I can upgrade.
Thank you for this. I have the smaller grill and like it so much, I want the larger XL model. I’m a home bread baker and use the smaller one to make rolls, focaccia and burger buns, especially out on my deck in the summertime. Steaks come out perfect!
Got mine today, but I had to really search for it. I went to 5 places that advertised that they carried this modle but none of them acutally did, they didn't even have a place for it. I went to Khol's, Costco, Bed Bath and Beyond and Macy's, struck out on all of them. Finally I found one a Target, but it was their last one and for some reason they're closing this modle out so I got it for only $120 so a very good deal. I cooked a steak using the grill and it came out great with a very good sear. I then air fried some brussel sprouts and they came out really very good. So far I'm very pleased.
Just got one of these and it's awesome. I travel with it and it's a game changer. I can cook a grill cheese in the morning, and perfect steaks at night. Totally recommend
Just going to say, I have been using mine regularly here since I got it for Christmas, and holy crap, what a difference it has made. I have used the air fryer, griddle and grill functions a ton here. All with impressive results. My favorite thing to make of late is 唐揚げ /Karaage or Japanese style fried chicken. It is so simple to make and downright incredible, it is going to change your perspective on fried chicken forever if you make it.
This was a fantastic tutorial. My food also slipped right off the grill plate into the drip pan. I may use a wedge just to keep it from slipping like that.
Great job! Demonstrating the grill! Love everything you cooked! I am learning how to use my new Foodi Grill and you did a great job explaining how to use the grill!!
Thanks for the video! Was waiting for you! However, I thought you were going to compare cooks with the other two grills… doesn’t matter, I’m getting this one! Great deal going on and love the griddle
Thanks sweet savant, you always bring great demonstrations along with great food. Thanks for all you do. Please continue the great work we learn so much.
Awesome video from an awesome lady !! I just ordered this same model amd cannot wait for it to come . After using the Ninja woodfire grill I am now a huge Ninja fan !!
Thank you so much for your reply. It was really helpful. I wonder if you could help me with another query. When the lid is fully open, what is the measurement from the bottom to the top of the open lid. I want to see if it will fit under my wall units when fully open. Your videos are the most informative on CZcams.
This is the best introduction to an Ninja appliance that I have watched. Wish I had seen this video sooner would have helped me decide to buy this unit sooner! I love my Ninja Grill/Griddle... and will look forward to more videos from you.
Young lady, that was an excellent presentation! Best I’m seen in a while. If you don't work for Ninja, you should, lol. I wish this had the capacity for a whole chicken, though. I’m going to subscribe to your channel because speak in a way thats to the point and no annoying habits.
Hi Sweetsavant! I enjoyed your presentation. I would like to see you cook a roast of beef, tri-tip or london broil, and also a whole chicken and turkey .
Today is 11/26 and time to go shopping. This was very helpful because Costco has a great sale, today only, on a Ninja Smart Grill for $149. We don’t need the XL size so after your video I’m ordering it online. I’m so excited to try some grilled steaks and veggies. Thank you!
Hey Fam. Thanks for giving us a great thorough description and demonstration. I love that there is a heating element on both the top and the bottom. It makes a huge difference. I love the grill marks on the steak and zucchini. I know dinner was the bomb. I would love to see you cook pancakes or crepes.
Great video! Thorough and informative. You have a very nice voice, relaxing as I learn some new recipes 😊 How about sweet potato fries, from scratch vs frozen and which setting/pan to use? Thanks!
What a great video. I just received my Ninja and was little concerned about the grill pan not laying flat. But I saw yours and it was just like mine. So thank you. Can’t wait to try the shrimp.
Excellent presentation! I have several Ninja products, actually, the first generation and was contemplating the XL 6-1 when it was on sale for 179.00 v 299.00 with all the accessories but the silver sold out and all my other Ninjas are silver. Oh well! Love them just the same.
I was waiting for your review on this grill! I still have it boxed. After seeing some of the cons of the grill (after purchasing), I have decided to return it. Like another reviewer said, I think Ninja took a step backwards. The grooves in the air fryer basket for grease to collect is a big No for me as well as food sliding into the trench of grease. The functionality of the buttons and dials seem cumbersome. I’ll stick with my XL grill for now until Ninja makes substantial improvements on the new model. I was waiting to hear if you thought the upgrade was really worth it but I guess you need more time to cook with it. Love your channel!
Another great video! I enjoy your Ninja reviews; I recently purchased this model. I would like to see you try out some salmon patties paired with some veggies on the grill. I want to add salmon to my diet on a regular basis and don't want to mess it up....THANKS!
Excellent video I like it but I think it’s missing one accessory it needs a solid air fryer basket I guess because if I wanted to do fried rice I don’t want rice all over the countertop so I think it needs another basket I don’t know if it’s slow cooks but it would be nice if it did thank you
Thanks for the video’s. I never knew there was a new product out. Can you please show how you would air fry and grill some kind of fish please? Thank you.
Hi Sweetsavant, I just came across your channel as I am a new Ninja XL Pro 9 in 1 owner. You are extremely pleasant to listen too as well as watch. Your videos are smooth and detailed and I greatly appreciate that. Thank you so much. I am wondering if you can do a video (if not already) on using the Ninja to cook chicken breasts. I used mine for the first time yesterday and used the probe and "chicken" preset....... It cooks the chicken to 170 degrees, which is waaaay to high for chicken, as it should be about 165 after resting...... so I took them off to rest when the Ninja read 160 degrees but they were dry. Thank you again for your videos!
thanks for taking the time to review this product and cook your foods on it. i have the first two ninja foodi models, and would have to trade out the first rendition of it if i wanted to get this one. im such a fan of the product that i have bought my son, my daughter and my sis-in-law the second rendition. i wonder how some marinated catfish flillets would come out on the xl pro grill and griddle. take care.
Hi Romere! Marinated catfish sounds delicious. I think I have some catfish filets in the freezer so I will give this a try. Thank you for the suggestion and thank you for watching!

This is the best video for a demonstration and walkthrough I have seen. You convinced me and now I’m going to be buying this ninja.
Thanks for another very detailed review and demo. I had no idea there was a bottom heating element and the top heating element automatically works when you put the lid down. I always enjoy your reviews. GodBless 🥰
Hey 👋🏾 Mzbrazell, I love your channel also. God bless you both for helping me out in the kitchen!
I just got mine, and with your easy to follow directions I was able to cook a dinner for 4 adults everything you showed here I cooked it was a great dinner so good my son-in-law purchased theirs thank you from a 1st time user.
Just ordered this and looking for info, wathed a ton and nothing gave the info as good as I just watched. Ninja should hire you!!!
Thank you so much for your kind words! I really appreciate your support

I just bought this machine after watching Many reviews. Yours was the one that won me over though. Now I need to figure out how to use it! Thanks!!
First time I've seen this Pro model. Great demo. Please bake something in the pan that comes with it. Thanks!

Do you air fry it for the Karaage? I love it as well and been looking into a airfryer.
Bacon, French toast, pancakes sound wonderful. Thank you so much!
This is the best Ninja Foodi machine! I can't wait to buy one! Thank you!
This was a fantastic tutorial. My food also slipped right off the grill plate into the drip pan. I may use a wedge just to keep it from slipping like that.
I also had this issue making me want to send this back … have you had any luck
I went back to the smart grill for steaks, they don't slip around and there's a thermometer. This grill is just too slippery.
U r da best !! Once again, I am sold due 2 ur outstanding reviews!! Thank u so much!!

Young lady, that was an excellent presentation! Best I’m seen in a while. If you don't work for Ninja, you should, lol. I wish this had the capacity for a whole chicken, though. I’m going to subscribe to your channel because speak in a way thats to the point and no annoying habits.

I have one of those as well and the tilted grill is a real big bugger but other then that it works phenomenal.
Hi there from the UK. Find your information really useful. Can you cook a whole chicken with out spatch cooking
Hello! No, a whole chicken can not fit in this without cutting it.
Thanks for watching!
Just picked up mine yesterday and subscribed 🙂
Thank you so much for showing me how to get started!!
Hey Fam. Thanks for giving us a great thorough description and demonstration. I love that there is a heating element on both the top and the bottom. It makes a huge difference. I love the grill marks on the steak and zucchini. I know dinner was the bomb. I would love to see you cook pancakes or crepes.
That helped me a lot thank you
Girl I've been waiting for you to review this!! 💖
Great video! Thorough and informative. You have a very nice voice, relaxing as I learn some new recipes 😊
How about sweet potato fries, from scratch vs frozen and which setting/pan to use? Thanks!
What a great video. I just received my Ninja and was little concerned about the grill pan not laying flat. But I saw yours and it was just like mine. So thank you. Can’t wait to try the shrimp.
Would love to see a slow cooked style pot roast e/veggies. And of course pancakes with bacon and sausage
Fantastic job showing me how to use this! Thank you.
YOU ARE THE BEST!
Thank you so much! I appreciate you!
For foods to cook i say lets see if it can do korean bbq or fajitas well with the lid open!
We love to do Korean BBQ at home. I'll definitely try it on the Ninja Foodi PRO XL 7-in-1 Indoor Grill Griddle.
ohhhh I really need this machine, like right now, cheers V!
Love your videos, good person vibes
I appreciate that! Thanks so much for watching
You are my hero , such a superb job !
Love your channel :) Mine arrives this Wednesday and I am so excited! This will be my second Foodi Grill :)
Excellent presentation! I have several Ninja products, actually, the first generation and was contemplating the XL 6-1 when it was on sale for 179.00 v 299.00 with all the accessories but the silver sold out and all my other Ninjas are silver. Oh well! Love them just the same.
Thank you for explaining each one
Nice sis!! Great demos. I have two ninjas and love them both. Thanks for sharing!👏🏽👏🏽😘
Great video! Loved the comparisons and the use of the grill/griddle accessories. Food looks delicious!💕
Thank you for this information!

Wonderful job! Thanks so much!
Thast the one im expect nex week n i dont know is the best! Help me my love..

You're welcome. Thank you for watching!
I still prefer the original. You'd think by now they'd make one that has the xl length. But the depth of the original
I hear what you're saying. I think that would be a smart move. Thanks for watching!
I love you reviews! Great job. Maybe do a big breakfast demo with fried potatoes next time
Perfect video. Thanks!
Can't wait for more recipes
Another great video! I enjoy your Ninja reviews; I recently purchased this model. I would like to see you try out some salmon patties paired with some veggies on the grill. I want to add salmon to my diet on a regular basis and don't want to mess it up....THANKS!
Awesome video mama, I will be definitely be buying a foodi Ninja grill.
Awesome video thanks!
Good info Thanks please do deserts.
I'd like to see you cook a pizza........What function would you use? Excellent video, by the way.
I believe this is the Ninja IG601 Foodi XL 7-in-1 Indoor Grill.
Oooh, I saw that red boat fish sauce and I knew you were about to do something good. 😂
Thanks for the video! I would like to see chicken cutlets and pancakes.
Excellent video I like it but I think it’s missing one accessory it needs a solid air fryer basket I guess because if I wanted to do fried rice I don’t want rice all over the countertop so I think it needs another basket I don’t know if it’s slow cooks but it would be nice if it did thank you
Great video, and soothing voice...
Thank you so much for watching!
How do you keep the inside lid clean?
Thank you! 🙂
Thanks for the video’s. I never knew there was a new product out. Can you please show how you would air fry and grill some kind of fish please? Thank you.
Can you cook a Ham or Pork Shoulder please? I'd like to see how a BIG piece of meet turns out! Thank you. 😊
Hi Annette, I love this suggestion. I'll try a ham soon. Thanks for watching!

Well..I think your review hooked me to grab the 7 in 1 vs the 6 in 1 while on sale. Thank you for such a great review. You gained a new subscriber.
I like your "Hi sweeties" intro😉😉
