- I get asked all the time, how do you cook Bacon in the Foodi. So here it is! I hope you enjoy.
If you have watched any our other Ninja vids, you know we love our 'toaster oven'. But it is so much more and we just upgraded from the 8-in-1 (SP101) to the new 14-in-1 (SP350) which sports dual heat, a smart thermometer, and a sear crisp tray! And of course an increase in interior height. Join me for an unboxing and a side by side comparison. This model seems to be an exclusive with QVC where we bought it, but they have released the SP351 as well which is virtually the same thing.

Never…..never TOSS bacon drippings!! You can flavor EVERYTHING with it!
I remember growing up my mom had a soup can filled with drippings. :)
No my arteries will thank me lol
@@alyssatyser7696 Exactly. I didn’t know people did that.
Not when it also has brown sugar and cayenne dripped in it 🤮
OK Len, knocked it out of the Park again!
Appreciate your laid back attitude and enthusiasm 👏
Thanks! Very kind!
Watched your review of the Ninja Foodi air fryer oven among others. I am so excited. I just came home with mine. Checked CZcams to see what I can make other than the standard stuff. Bacon is a great option. Thanks so much for your info and your effort. 😀
Thanks for watching. I’ve done a lot of others too. Check them out and enjoy the oven!
Tip O' the day for basket cleaning:
Place your "air fry basket" in your "sheet pan". It seats perfectly. Soak using your favorite concoction.
Plain 'ol water removes pizza/ tator tot funk.
It is a perfect soaking pan. Litte water needed.
I use a spray oil before cooking.
Also: When it comes time for advanced cleaning I'll probably use th same trick with a hand brush, just a little water, and every degrease spray I own.
P.S. Why doesn't Ninja sell replacement pans at the store?
thanks for adding your suggestions/tips!
Another great, helpful video. Thanks mucho!
Thank you! Appreciate you watching and hope you enjoy them all. :)
Thank you for showing each step for cooking the bacon☺️🙂
Hope you enjoy, please let me know if you try it, how you like it!
I just found your channel and I am loving the Ninja foodie videos! I got one for Christmas and was not confident in using it but your videos have helped tremendously! I am so excited to try this bacon over the weekend!
Thanks. You can do it!
Great tip on cleaning it! I know I've struggled with it!!!
Thanks.
I learned a little trick; you boil up a little bit of water and pour it into the pan when you're done cooking. That losens the fat, so you can pour it into a container. When you've saved up a decent amount, you can just boil the water away and you're left with pure bacon fat. Liquid gold that you can use when cooking those special meals.
Nice
You are so kind, you make we want to buy a ninja foodi lol good thing I got one for Christmas!
:). I hope you love it. Check out my other videos for more encouragement
Love your videos on the Ninja...we bought one and LOVE IT !! Lady recommended using aluminum foil for bottom of baking sheet when air frying or broiling
bacon, meats etc. that drip oil & fat....works really great and cleans extremely easy...
Glad you love it and my videos! As for foil, sure it works great. Use what you like. I chose the paper as it is precut and simple. One less thing to manage. ;) It also breaks down in the landfills.
New subscriber to your channel.... We just got a toaster oven and was wondering how to cook bacon in it .... Enjoyed your video .... Thanks for sharing
Great! Welcome aboard. Hope the other vids are as helpful. More to come!
after watching this video , i purchased the 11 in 1 Ninja oven . thanks . I will attempt to cook your bacon recipe. Bacon looks good
nice! I hope you enjoy both the oven and the bacon!
For some reason, the simple process of cooking good bacon in my Ninja Foodie has eluded me. Thank you for this video!
You are welcome. I hope you make some great bacon!
Great tips an looks amazing too mmm yummmm😂
Thank you 😋 It is!
Great video though I would caution anyone that when using parchment paper to always be sure you’re not exceeding the temperature that the parchment paper can handle. Parchment paper that I can find at my local store can only withstand temperatures up to 420 and not 425 but again it’ll depend on where and what brand of parchment paper someone is able to get ahold of at the time. Overall, I plan on trying this method out at least once because those bacon look delicious.
great reminder. I am using the paper with the bacon as a tray liner that quickly gets covered with grease, so no chance of it scorching and catching fire. But to be sure, use foil if you prefer, or just wash the pan. ;) Hope you like the bacon, it really is delish.
@@LenBanks a few months later but just wanted to drop an fyi. Bacon grease catches fire quite readily. I have had it burst into flames over a campfire and melt a griddle in half.
Amazon has parchment sheets for the air fryers that can handle 500
Great video....gonna try bacon in the ninja at the weekend 👍
Thanks! Hope you enjoy it.
did you try it and love it?
Oh yes ...the ninja cooked it perfectly and it tasted fantastic 🙂 Thanks
very helpful!
Thanks. Glad you enjoyed.
I just bought the Ninja SP201 Digital Air Fry Pro Countertop 8-in-1 Oven with Extended Height, XL Capacity, Flip Up & Away Capability for Storage Space, with Air Fry Basket, Wire Rack & Crumb Tray, Silver. I also saw the Ninja SP301 Dual Heat Air Fry Countertop 13-in-1 Oven with Extended Height, XL Capacity, Flip Up & Away Capability for Storage Space, with Air Fry Basket, SearPlate, Wire Rack & Crumb Tray, Silver on Amazon.
Hope you love it and thanks for watching and commenting!
@@LenBanks me to got the 201 from the BEST BUY with their TOTAL TECH PLAM I have already on so anything I Buy from them Is covered for the Life of it during it's life with them like 4 yrs or 3 yrs instead of just like 1 yr as the Manufacture would cover those Geek Squad Guys /gals are available by phone after the store is closed to phone chat so having this AMAZUNG Set of Videos from Here Is THE icing On the Cake (so to speak) Have an AMAZING Day Out there Everyone watching These !
SO YUMMY!!!
Yes, yes it is. Thanks for introducing it to our home!
You are a good person!
Thanks.
Wonderful video. We use the Foodi every day. Thanks for this! New Sub here
Awesome! Thank you!
I have the same oven. I followed your recipe exactly. My whole house filled with smoke, I was worried the Foodi was going to catch fire. The brown sugar turned black. Never again, the oven works better for me
oh no, so sorry. I imagine we don't do it as long as you did..(?). IDK.
I just bought the 13 in one, I'm still learning it.
nice! enjoy. I hope all my videos help.
Thank you for touching on the cleaning of the outside of the oven!
:). You’re welcome
Thanks for the video. I’m definitely going to try this. Just curious if you would get different results using the ‘air fry’ function rather than ‘bake’. Have you tried using air fry?
Haven’t tried that. Probably cooks faster and might make more mess due to splatter being blown around. Just a thought.
Dammit man, just when I thought I found every way to use my Ninja I get humbled. I’m never gonna lose weight. Can’t wait to try this.
haha. sorry man. everything in moderation. Isn't that what they say?
Len, I just tried bacon in the Ninja last eve. Smoked up my small kitchen, bacon smell everywhere, grease all over the inside of the Ninja. Bummer. (Bacon turned out great though, thanks) I think however in future, I'll go back to the regular Big Oven method: bake on foil/parchment on a cookie sheet, cover with foil to avoid splatter.
You could cover with foil in the ninja too. I wonder why so many talk of smoke. Ours doesn’t do that.
My kitchen vent fan is not very good when frying bacon. Does the Ninja smell up the kitchen like frying does? Thank you!
I didn’t think so but my tolerance may differ.
Curious question! Just bought one of these today and don't want to dirty it up too quickly. Does the bacon make a splattery mess inside? Thank you! 😊👌
yeah, bacon splatters some. we don't do this, but perhaps try laying some parchment loosely on top. Might help reduce.
@@LenBanks perfect, thank you!
Hi, Is the oven deep enough, for a ready meal. Like a lasagne? Bacon looked tasty. Mmm. Thanks...
Yes, absolutely as long as it is under 12"x12". We make the Costco meal bakes all the time!
Goes on the bottom slot but plenty of room
Mine came with a rack for the black tray, is there a reason for the wire basket vs using the rack instead?
Not entirely clear on the question. The rack we use for things like toast or to place a cookie sheet and such on. The basket we only use for air frying. I hope that is what you were asking.
Hi Len! Hey, thank you SO much for the great Content! Can you please tell me if you have made bacon-wrapped shrimp in the Ninja Foodi Oven? And, if so, can you do a demo? I'll be watching!!
I haven’t. That sounds so good. Thanks for compliment and comment.
Hey, I tried bacon wrapped Chile poppers, and they came out great! I’d assume shrimp will come out Amazing
@@xninjasiix yum, those sound good. shrimp with chilis too. ;)
I have done it in other countertop toaster oven/broiler/convection ovens. I did it with huge shrimp that were 7 per lb and it was great after marinating in olive garden italian dressing. Just don't marinate to long or the vinegar will cook the shrimp and then you'll have ceviche.
How do you clean all the splater
Well that is the issue. ;) Check out my cleaning video. Thanks for watching and commenting!
What causes the ends to turn black ? Is it hotter on the end than in the middle ?
Hi, thanks for watching! So I am not entirely sure. Likely a couple things. The ends are more exposed, smaller and so cook faster. Also, I do observe things on the edges, when using the sheet pan, do cook faster. I suspect the air has to circulate around the pan causing hotter sides. When cooking on the rack directly I don't see that happen.
same thing happened with my frozen fries today. outside ones burnt a little. my first time cooking them :) @@LenBanks
Iv got this oven hate cleaning the wire tray it’s really difficult to clean I wish I had purchased the normal air fryer as this is to shallow
Good to know. I don’t use the air fryer feature a lot. Mostly oven and toaster. My dishwasher cleans the tray pretty well though. Thanks for watching and commenting
I clean the wire tray with a brush, dipping the brush into my sudsy water when I'm doing my other dishes (no dishwasher here!) and just rub it across the tray. It takes me less than a minute to thoroughly clean it...I hope this helps you too! :)
It help if you wipe it when slightly warm to remove excess gunk and wash in hot soapy water
I bought a foodi and am always looking for ways of using it
I love the foodi. I’ve made a bunch of videos cooking different foods. I hope You’ll check them out.
May I ask how you keep the basket so clean??
It washes off really well for me. Dishwasher or if there is something a little more challenging I use the dawn spray and soak.
I put mine in the dishwasher
My Ninja is coming tomorrow :D
oh great! I hope you enjoy it as we do.
@@LenBanks Definitely going to be doing a lot of bacon on it :D Our bacon in the UK is a lot smaller than yours though, I am very jealous of your epic bacon slices !
@@scrunts666 LOL, epic. nice.
Hi !! Can you do round potatoes slices ?? simple just salt. Not the potatoes chips. please please
What about that are you wanting to see? likely is the same idea as the cauliflower video I posted. Although I was going to roast some red potato quarters soon and can video that. Give me a bit more of what you are looking to learn.
What settings in the 14 and 1
They are the same. ;)
How do you clean the inside? It is so hard!
It is very difficult. I don’t really try to do deep cleaning. I use a magic eraser for a lot of it. Rinse well. Make sure to unplug first. ;)
@@LenBanks Yea, getting the top clean is a nightmare. I started using what's called Pink Stuff with a thin rag, but still cannot get the thick stuff. I will try the magic eraser though.
Looking for link for parchment
Hi! You'll find all my links on my Amazon 'store': www.amazon.com/shop/lenbanks. Thanks.
What would happen if you air fried your bacon?
I’m sure it would work and crisp well but I am concerned the blowing air would create a mess of the popping grease. Just a thought.
Looks delish 🤤 but how’s the grease mess inside ?
Either the grease drops into the pan below OR we just don't cook it enough, but we don't really have that much splatter.
Goes in the bottom tray. I use parchment paper so no splatter. I pour bacon grease in a jar
Observation:
Do they stiffen up?
Or stay limp like shown? His looks awful wet/ limp.
(This may bug me till I try mine I'm worse than Costanza)
yes they can if you cook longer. I like mine a bit more done but my wife likes them a bit softer. Cook to your preference. But neither of us like them hard and crunchy. ;)
@@LenBanks Very appreciated Sir. . . . so I'm reading the directions here at work and it suggests the "sugars/ adders" midway thru. Preventing smoking and sugar burn? Meat cooks better?
Seems a pain and extra step.
Waiting on that fries video . . .
@@itsruf1 well couple things. the instructions you are reading are not what we use and do. But of course you can cook it any way you like. My point was to show bacon being cooked int the oven. And the way we do it there doesn’t seem to be too much if any smoking or sugar burn. But as you see we don't cook it as long as you might prefer so that may be why. As for the fries video, I thought I had that included in another, but certainly in the time you requested it to now hasn't been long enough to accomplish it. I think you have spaced these comments out by only minutes. LOL. Keep them coming though.
Do you use the magic eraser to get the black spots off of the basket too?
@@joannadams7549 I find the dishwasher gets most of it then it just knocks off with a light brush on what’s left
Please share how to clean this machine. After duck it took me 1.5 hours!
I use magic erasers. But depending on your 'need' to have things spotless inside, it will aways take a long time. No shortcuts there. These ovens are small and because they re deep, it is difficult. but there are things that can help - make sure you use the baking sheet below the air fryer as a drip tray. It catches a lot that then you don't have to clean up. And when possible, cover in some foil or at least 'tent' with foil.
does the bacon make a mess inside the Ninja with all the grease?
It's not been our experience. As the bacon is raised and grease drips into the pan, the bacon is not sizzling and popping grease everywhere.
The reason I've come to your channel to watch the Foodie ovens is that mine just arrived a couple of days ago and I'm seeing if I want to keep it. Yeah, it was one of those situations where they changed my meds that day and I found they really reeelaaaxxxed me, and feeling that good, never watch QVC when they change your heart pressure meds. I tried to cancel it (after I remembered I ordered it), but I had waited too long. Good thing is, QVC will take it back whether you use it or not. Bad thing is, you didn't get your commish. =/
Anywho.... The complaint I do have about the "Inspiration" guide uses too many pre packaged, supermarket items. I'd be happy to make a pound of good asian, home made meatballs one weekend and freeze them in smaller batches. The trouble is, I don't have specific instructions for this appliance. I'll figure it out, and send you my results. I have no desire to woman a new youtube cooking channel. It's too much work.
I do have a suggestion, though. When you need to break for 15-20 mins while yummy treats are cooking, I'd love to see examples of water color paintings or something else and then you can tell us tell us which video(s) to watch.I'll finish watching your cooking video (I don't want to be rude), and dash to the suggested videos. just a thought. Did you make it to the end of this comment? Congratulations! =D
Lol. I did make it To the end! I do have other videos of My paintings but I do like the idea of throwing that in too. I hope You come To like the oven and that your meds get balanced well for You. Good health To you!
Wouldn't it be easier load the bacon on the tray before you put it in the oven 🤔
I don't know if it is 'easier' but yeah, can be done of course. I did it this way so the camera could be kept on the mount in one location. But not difficult to load at the oven either. :) Thanks for watching and commenting!!!!
Why don’t u try using aluminum foil instead of paper on pan
Thanks for the watch and comment! If you saw my previous video, the pre-cut paper is the reason. I just don't like to fiddle making sure it all fits. But yeah, foil would work too. LOL
Sugar on bacon are you sure
Yes. Yes I am. So good!!!!
or you can fry it in a fry pan.
well yes, that can be done too. But as this is a video to explore how to use the Foodi... ;) thanks for watching and commenting.
Right, bacon has been cooked in a frying pan for centuries but on here we are learning the Ninja way!!!! 🙄 Thanks for your great instructions.
@@lghrigsby1 HaHa, yes. thanks. Actually a lot of people cook bacon in an oven, especially when you want to add sugars and spices. Not really that unusual.
@@LenBanks yes, until I bought my Ninja that’s usually how I cooked bacon.
I also belong to a Facebook group for recipes for soup makers (the electric device). A woman recently suggested we use a large saucepan instead. I suggested she find a FB group for large saucepans! 😂
Observation:
You are doing it wrong! (humor)
Suppose you start it cold, like for fat meats do. Start at 300°. The fat will start to render from cold. Then turn up to ≈ 425°?
Note: I am opening mine tonight. So this is theory.
P.S. As a retired engineer I have special dispensation to use the degree ° symbol and similar.
I prefer the symbol too but find it difficult to use in type. ;). As for the changing temps. I’m sure it can be done. I just never thought of that. Let me know how It Works.
@@LenBanks No Len, the masses are relying on you! Also do french fries different ways.? Extra crispy here. Thanks in advance.
Okay but like don’t do this ever. I tried it and now my apartment is FILLED WITH SMOKE. Almost started a fire. Don’t trust internet
I’m sorry that was your experience but we in fact do this all the time. Never have house filled with smoke. I do agree, don’t trust internet as a general principle though. ;)
@@LenBanks yeah I really wished it worked. I have the Ninja 10 n 1 and put it on bake and it didn’t go well for me.
That's an awful long time to cook bacon. I thought air fryers were supposed to be faster.
I just lay it in a shallow bowl, cover with a paper towel and throw it in the microwave for 3 or 4 minutes. Then I can pour the fat into a jar to save and use for cooking.
I'm glad you commented. There are many ways to accomplish the same things. If speed is your greatest value, then of course use the microwave. But some find microwaves to dry foods out and speed is not at important and as I am showing ways to use this particular oven, then this is a good method.
Toss the bacon grease in the garbage ..... REALLY ?
yeah really. I know a lot of people save it for future use, but we don't do a lot of frying and so it just gets old and in the way. But of course if you will use it, by all means don't toss it!
Bagel and convection bake are the new two on the 10 in one
:)
You truly ruined that bacon ha.
Bacon is good in nearly every way it is prepared. ;). But you make it how you prefer.
Bacon cleaning did not look good or easy.
it wasn't bad. just greasy. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Way to much taking, just show the process
I appreciate your viewership and commenting! But I am what I am…a bit of a talker. :)
Delete this mess. You should have used aluminum foil. Also if you had the oven at 400 you wouldn’t have the burnt ends and also soft bacon at the same time. You totally botched the reasons for covering the pan. Ugh
Hmm. I’m glad you watched but our method works for us just fine. And we try not to use foil too much as it doesn’t breakdown in landfill. ;). The paper works great to prevent burned elements on pan to clean.
Baby Girl. You are a delight aren’t you ?
Everything alright at home, Diana? The man is cooking bacon, again, HE’S ONLY COOKING BACON.
Observation: Still reading istructions . . . they say "air fry" setting for bacon. 390⌀, oops I meant 390°/ 7-10 mins not "bake" setting.
Any input appreciated.
air fry would be good too. they both work. We chose bake as we used to make it in the full size oven and just moved it over to the ninja using our same method. Just experiment to see what you prefer.
