I am in love
I absolutely love my ninja foodi grill, been wanting one for ages and so glad I took the plunge.
It’s revolutionised the way I cook all my meals and I haven’t used my conventional oven since receiving it.
Highly recommend anyone who hasn’t already got one to go for it, you won’t regret it.
Amazing produc
Amazing product, even more than I’ve expected.
Very easy to clean, just pop the accessories out and out in the dish washer.
The flat plate/griddle is great for making pancakes as the heat is evenly distributed and the heat is regulated.
Grill is actually smokeless as promised and the air fryer is excellent.
Awesome
Love this grill. We haven’t stopped using it since taking it out of the box. We’ve cooked a full breakfast consisting of sausages, bacon, tomatoes and mushrooms, which has avoided messing up the cooker. I also baked a batch of muffins on the flat plate using some silicone muffin cases, which worked well. I am finding that this grill is perfect for two people as you can fit all of the ingredients on the plate to produce a full breakfast for two people. I haven’t noticed any smoke, although steam will escape from the rear as it gets very hot. I would suggest using it away from a wall to aid ventilation and prevent condensation. All in all a great product. It’s a bit like having an indoor barbecue and certainly saves turning on the cooker oven.
Ninja
Wanted one of these for a while, never knew which model to choose. So glad I picked this one! Easy to use, easy to clean! Excellent well worth the expense!
Valuable kitchen appliance
You do have to clean this regularly but easier than cleaning out an oven so no big deal.
I cannot bend to pick up heavy roasts from the oven so ideal.
It isn’t high enough to roast a large chicken but will cook if you spatchcock it.
Roast beef lots of room for roasters in there with it.
Airfryer makes good chips, grill makes amazing burgers.
I haven’t tried all the functions yet but so far no complaints.
I am very happy with this product and cooks faster than the oven.
The cook times take a bit of getting used to but it’s worth every penny.
absolutely amazing
i honestly cannot recommend this product enough! absolutely brilliant! highest quality and functional. i have owned this product for 6 months and its amazing. also i have purchased the dual drawer fryer which is also awesome
Great produc
Bought this to replace an acti fry, so no surprises this is so much better. Saying that this is a great gadget. How long it last and maintenance will yet be determined
Ninja Magic
The ninja Foodi is easy to understand the functions and how to use them.
Food comes out perfect and very tasty.
Air Fryer works well
Air Fryer and Grill work well , baked a cake but it wasn’t a 100% successful but still edible, going to try agai
works well
Don’t see the point in heat up time for air frie
Absolutely fantastic, wish I’d got one sooner!
So easy to use, can make so many different things in it, food tastes different to how it might via different cooking methods, can’t recommend it enough. So glad we bought this, the quality is fantastic too and very easy to clean we use it most days now. Looking forward to trying more different foods in i
Great addition to my kitche
This Ninja foodie health grill is just brilliant, with its different functions all of which I haven’t used yet but the chips I cooked came out wonderfully crispy and cooked so quickly. We have found it easy to clean as well.
It is quite big so you need to have the space for it, mine stands on top of my hob.
Ninja air frye
I bought this to replace a broken tefal airfreight. This is great as you can cook a variety of foods in it, plus the pans are more sturdy + easily cleaned.
Fast and efficie
I have not rated flavour as I have never tried to eat it! It heats up much faster than a large oven, it air fries amazingly, chips are lovely, the temperature gadget works brilliantly, but you need to google temperatures for what you are cooking. The instructions are long and complex, it is tricky to get your head around them and I am sure I have not found all of its functionality, but once you have figured out how to switch on and set the time & temperature, it does work like a dream, Very economical as a spare oven or for total cooking for one or two people. It is massive. Takes most of the depth of the worktop, but it will fit in a cupboard when not in use. Really easy to clean. Bits go in dishwasher.
Versatile grill / ove
You need several different inserts to enable you to do all the recipes some are included some are not. This could be a problem if short of storage. Otherwise it’s a great bit of equipment that allows you to produce so much great food with hardly any oil.
Love it!!
This was bought to cut down on electricity due to only being two of us now with a large range oven, this does it all, best but this yea
Absolutely love it.
I can’t believe I’ve not bought one before. I didn’t want a fat fryer in the house but bought this instead and the chips taste just the same.
It cooks so many different things easily and quickly.
Definitely recommend getting one.
Easy to use
Great addition to kitchen, I don’t have to put on my big ove
Best Kitchen purchase !!
This is the 2nd one I have purchased (this one for my son at uni) as it’s so good, use constantly as so quick and cooks things so well, he was missing ours so got in Black Friday with 50 off. Win win.
Brillia
Absolutely brilliant it cooks food in half the time as a conventional oven and is far more versatile even basic cheese toasties are cooked way better than any toasting gadget frozen croissants 10 mins ,chicken breasts are cooked in about 15 mins I’ve bought one for my daughter and son-in-law for a wedding gift and they are very impressed now my other daughter has bought one as she too is equally impressed
So if asked would I recommend
Yes I most definitely would
Excellent purchase
So easy to use. Food delicious and very tasty. Whether it’s steaks, chicken or just chips, so tasty without the cooking smells around the house. Cooking a whole chicken or Lamb joint next.
Fast and delicious
I’m so pleased with this fryer. We are use it as a grill I can say the steaks and chicken taste as proper barbecue. 8 minutes for steak 10 minutes for chicken breast. Juice and fast. I’m surprised about the quality of frying, potatoes looks so crispy and golden without being fried on deep oil. I recommend this 100 %
Produces nice food
A large unit with hinged lid, which means the cooker when in use needs to be away from the wall to open lid, but light enough to pull on worktop. Timing and temperature setting takes a while to get used to. Food comes out fine. Easy to clean the pans, but they stay hot for a long time. It is a very noisy machine and takes up a lot of space, but does cook the food well to my liking. Cooking time may be quicker than conventional methods, but they do recommend allowing the unit to warm up before putting the food in.
Love i
Really love this. It cooks the meat perfectly and airfrying the chips tastes so much better. It also comes with a recipe book aswell which is grea
Best kitchen purchase in a lon while!
Bought this, as parents’ over broke down. Found that it has coped with all cooking requirements to date. My only suggestion to Ninja is to have dial controls instead of buttons, as my elderly parents find it difficult to press the small buttons. Would recommend this food grill because it is straightforward to use and long term will save on electricity bills as food cooks very quickly.
Absolutely fantastic machine
I absolutely love my Ninja it cooks very quickly the food is always amazing and very hot. It’s easy to use and clean up is easy either by hand or dishwasher. Fully recommend Ninja every time. Go get one.
Love the air fry mode
We use this most days Frozen Chios are great as are healthy roast potatoes. Sausages cook in 10 minutes no fat splash. All parts go in the dishwasher. It’s quite big but we have a space in our drawer to put away. Not used our oven’s grill since purchasing. Great if you have a fussy eater for doing separate meals
Healthy, quick and crispy
Brilliant for cooking steaks to perfection in a very short amount of time with all the flavour locked in. Roast potatoes, grilled Mediterranean veg, crispy chips, chicken to name a few. Make sure you only use non-stick utensils and clean after every use. Comes with a handy brush for cleaning the griddle which is useful.

Fantastic versatile machine
Bought this machine and wondered if it would join the rest of the machines on the side I don’t use but how wrong could I be. I use it every day. It grills to perfection and the air fry chips are to die for. Healthier too. I have even used it to bake so not putting my big oven on. Certainly recommend this machine.
I can barely believe how really REALLY good this product is,.
I have grilled lamb chops and a pork roast thus far and it all cooked perfectly.
There is minimal cleaning to do , no mess anywhere just the cooking bowl or griddle, and they are very easy to wash they are coated with a superior non stick coat, better than anything I have ever seen before.
The cooker remains clean, it needs minimal cleaning and there are no awkward bits to reach. I’m amazed, the design of this product is nothing short of brilliant. Will try baking a cake next just to see if it turns out as good as others have stated . I am very pleased with this. My old cooker is mostly unused since I got this cooker.
Ninja 🥷 grill/ with probe
It’s big ! But I thought the same when I got the 9 in 1 max after a while it just blends in . You do need plenty of kitchen work tops especially if you are obsessed I have a collection now ninja duel and foodie max , grill and one that makes amazing ice cream thick shakes all amazing products, always so easy to clean and the grill is the same . I’m still learning with the grill but food tastes fantastic. Just remember they are fairly big and need a decent amount of space on your work top, hopefully this has helped you
Grea
Quite versatile. I’ve been cooking pretty much every thing l can on it.
Just getting use to the recommended cooking times but I’ve found the Ninja cooks very well, and is quite easy to clean, I put the Grill,and Roasting Pans in the dishwasher when cool and just wipe the outside of the Ninja.
It’s pretty good and I’ll use this a lot.
Heard the saying happy Wife happy life!
My Wife is in love with this device, it makes dinner times less stressful and so much quicker than using the oven!
It seems like a gimmick, I can 100% say it is not!
Fantastic Cooke
Used First machine now for a year would not be without it bought another for spare in case of break down. The heat up time and cooking time is fast and saves a fortune in power because of this. Very highly recommended.We also have ninja foodi and the smaller model of this one.
Amazing! Wow!
Amazing! I cook chicken and lamb chops, reheat pizzas and all sorts! this is saving me a fortune as I no longer need to order takeouts as much as I can make the food taste twice as good at home.
I will add however the non-stick does wear away after just a few uses but its expected I guess as it hits some seriously high temperatures!.
in terms of size, this will be sufficient for a adult family of 4 MAX. it will fit 1 and a half medium chicken if cut into halves. It can fit 1 large chicken cut into quarters. It can fit 8 small lamb chops comfortably.
so overall size isn’t the best but the quality is well worth the compromise. This is a luxury A* product, please dont compare this to products sub 200.
Well worth the money do not hesitate to buy it’s the best one out there
This is the best thing ever,cooks perfect steak to your liking grilled lamb chops are amazing using the ninja grill, very spacious to cook on it roasts air fry’s bakes the amount of stuff you can use this for is amazing it cooks so much quicker than a conventional oven the only downside is the bleeping noise it makes wud be good if you could have a volume control
So good, we got rid of the microwave!
Near smoke free even when you fry a whole packet of bacon. Really nice grill markings on steak. Reheated left overs taste nicer than freshly made – crispy as opposed to soggy after microwaving. Game changer. Difficult to clean the inside of the lid, doing my best right now but will see how it goes long term
Fantastic Appliance
This is an amazing appliance. Easy to use and to clean and saves work tops from grease splatters.
I have not used the dehydrator function yet but the other functions cook to perfection. I would not be without it. Highly recommend.
Another one to add to my collection...
I have an ever growing family of Ninjas. It is a testament to their quality and wide range of uses that keeps me coming back for more. This one is no exception. Perfect, Perfect, Perfect.
I have been using an Air fryer for just a year and thought I would update and get the Ninja it is excellent. So easy to use, so easy to clean. The food tastes great. I have cooked fried chicken, grilled fish, burgers, roast veg.
You definitely get what you pay for. It’s not cheap but you will definitely get your monies worth.
I love it and whole heartedly recommend it.

Best Gadget in my kitche
This is the best thing I have bought in a very long time. Makes my life so much easier, especially with the kids. Don’t have to heat up the whole oven to put a tiny burger or chips
Best Buy
Really pleased with my Ninja health grill and air fryer. It is easy to clean, cooks quick and is quite compact so doesn’t take up too much space.
Wish I had bought one a while ago, I use it every day, the best buy by far I have bought over the years
would highly recommend
Beat purchase in my life
I don’t even need to say anything else. The one and only purchase you’d ever need in a place is this. It’s made my brand new oven 100% redundant. Awesome piece of kit!
Gods gift to the chief
Brilliant works like a dream, Iv grilled, roasted, and baked all turned out with great results, just to leave and let it do it’s thing is great and to be able to do something else at the same time, next job a cheese and onion pie, should have bought one earlie
I firstly ordered the Ninja Air fryer with one drawer. It was good but the drawer for the food was so small. I could only fit in 2 quarters of pizza at a time. Very small indeed. Then got the 2 individual Ninja Air Fryer. This was better. It looked lovely and very well made. But the two drawers for the food was again very small. It was only for one person but wow very small drawers for your food. Finally ordered this Ninja Air fryer. Wow 3rd time lucky. This one is fantastic. Grills your food like BBQ. Steaks are so beautifully cooked. It Air fries, Bakes, Grills, Dehydrates e.g. fruit. I can honestly say its brilliant. BEWARE though when cooking things because it recommends Pre-heating it will cook your food very fast. E.g. pizza. I put a pizza in for 6 mins and burnt it again. So you can open the Ninja at anytime to look at the food. It browns food, bakes bread, crumbles, cakes and all the food. It truly is a great little oven. I have finally found the one for me. Big enough for e.g. chicken and vegetables and a jacket potato. Its extremely well made and sturdy. Highly recommended.

Wonderful machine yet again from Ninja
Great machine to have in the kitchen along with my other ninja products…. Easy to use great results…… Love the probe when cooking meat…….. Great feature…….
Ninja foodi grill and frye
What a fantastic multi function grill and cooking appliance. So easy to use and the quality of grill, there are so many great thing’s you can cook, makes food tasty and healthier.
You need a Ninja Foodie in your life.
Can’t rate this highly enough. Use as a small oven to roast and bake, as an air fryer, a grill or to dehydrate produce for storage.
Food is flavoursome and cooked to perfection using the user friendly variable controls.
Fabulous item
I am very happy with my Ninja air fryer makes fab roast potatoes nice crispy chips . Tried to bake a cake in it didn’t work very well , it says bake but no instructions what u can bake . Bought this used it once then the next 2days it was 40 cheaper I was gutted .. would recommend it .
All cooking requirements covered in one machine
Arrived well in time , one great thing about this Ninja amongst all the other things it incorporates is the Probe . No more guessing if food is cooked , the machine is so good .
Amazing
I love it food is amazing, forgot that it was pre owned” As it looked almost brand New, So pleased about that’ plus it saves cleaning my oven !!” Which I hate doing
Thank you so much, one happy customer “
Much better than I thought it would be
I had one of the early air fryers and it was rubbish. Expensive even when on offer, but this was a gift. The non-stick is good quality and I’m very pleased with it.
A superb machine
Excellent machine.
It has replaced the oven for cooking chilled/frozen food in half the time using the air fryer.
Using the probe, it is big enough to roast a shoulder of lamb or a medium whole chicken and it is cooked to perfection.
Will try out the grill next!
Superb … I have rarely used my oven since I bought the Ninja. Perfect sweet potato chips, great chicken breast, lovely pork chops, burgers, sausages, lamb chops, frozen or fresh chips, I have even used it to roast a whole chicken … and it turned out perfectly. I know lots of people rave about the Ninja … frankly I was sceptical … but it lives up the all the hype, and I am so glad I bought it.

Wouldn't be without my Ninja foodi max
Easy to use on a daily basis, both grill and air fryer are in use every day. The grill, pan and filter go in the dishwasher and clean up like new every time. The food is always cooked nicely and chicken is always moist and full of flavour.
Easy to use
Pleased with this, so easy to use and clean, controls easy to navigate and set and everything I’ve cooked so far has been spot on, loving the grill setting
One word (Brilliant)
This ninja is just awesome the best kitchen item I have ever bough
Food cooks quickly
Its a very sturdy piece of equipment that took a bit of getting used to, but I now love it. Food cooks quickly and it’s really versatile, you just need to take care with the temperatures as it can burn very quickly if it’s set to high. Additional cooking dishes for it are very expensive to purchase, so I think I might be improvising.
Tried a Cosori but didn’t like the draw system or the controls. Buttons for each type of food but recommendations on cooking time are at best a guide. Most reviews of air fryers say this. So I opted for the Ninja because it has an opening lid which means you can access food during cooking without taking out the draw and putting it on the worktop. The controls are different and much easier to use because you select what type of cooking eg air fry or grill press start and it automatically starts a pre-heat cycle and has a progress indicator. While it is heating up you use the dedicated temperature buttons to adjust the temperature to the recommendation for that particular food. Then set a time and wait for it beep to add the food. I learnt quickly to set a slightly longer time then check with a temperature probe. If it is done turns off. If not lower the lid and it carries on. Always check 30 seconds before the time is up because it pauses the timer so when you lower the lid you have time to add a couple more minutes.
It is easy to clean. Let it cool then either take out the main tray and the basket or griddle drop in the filter fill with hot water and soap and leave. Rinse and clean with the brush. I clean after each use where any oil is released. Don’t usually need to after cooking a pizza. Pizza is quick and easy. Take a pitta bread two teaspoons of Tesco pizza topping sprinkle with pre-grated cheese and whatever fine chopped mushroom pepper left over sausage ham thin slice tomato, sprinkle with a little Italian herb mix and cook. You can make it during the heat up cycle! Roast potatoes chips carrots all great with minimal fat.
The other feature that attracted me is the grill function. This sets a higher temperature than air frying and it uses the special griddle plate. Tried sausages twice perfect and didn’t need to turn them.
So I find the controls much easier and more logical to use. Much better than preset buttons for chips chicken etc. The quality is very high and the internal basket and griddle plate coatings much higher quality. It is twice the price but I can strongly recommend despite this.

LOVE THIS!!
So easy to use and cuts cooking time dramatically. If I could have got a bigger one with two different compartments to grill and air fry at the same time I would have done. Cleaning is really easy too. Cooks to perfection!
A must Buy
My wife loves her Ninja Foodi Grill. It cooks steaks and burgers fantastically well. A lot more quieter than we though it would be and very easy to clean.
It the words of my wife, “it’s fantastic, cooks food beautifully and really easy to clean”. She recommendeds it to everyone.
Love my new kitchen gadget.
We really love using this Ninja, virtually every day since it arrived. Lots of experimentation going on. Although not many recipes included, lots more on line and the tables for the different uses seem very comprehensive.
Great bit of ki
Very easy to clean. Cooked a whole leg of lamb to perfection. Put it in and forgot about it using temperature probe until oven bleeped to say it was done. Very easy to clean afterwards.
Almost like an indoor bbq
Great machine. First time I did chicken wings and they tasted like they came off the bbq. Really impressive. Cooking time is halved compared to using the oven. The only bad thing is the smell. I have the 9 in 1 Foodi but this compliments it well. I often use both at the same time. I no longer use my oven.
Amazing
I had a Tefal air fryer before, the one with the rotating arm. It was good but lots of things ended up getting smashed in it.
So I bought this as an upgrade and WOW! this thing is fantastic.
I use it everyday, haven’t used my oven once since. You do have to shake/turn the food to get a nice even cook, especially with oven chips, but everything comes out brilliantly.
I’ve cooked all sorts in it, from burgers to onion rings, to roasted vegetables and even cooked a cake in it.
Highly recommended!
Brilliant Buy
I was upgrading a five year old airfryer and struggling to justify the cost for the Ninja.
Purchased and a few week later, it’s brilliant! Of all my kitchen equipment, I’m a sucker for a new gadget, this justifies its price tag. I can’t recommend enough, I haven’t used my big oven since and if you like crispy BUY. Easy clean, easy to access, economic to run, easy on the eye, and takes a whole small chicken!!!
Our new best friend
We saw the tv adverts for the Ninja, and thought it sounded too good to be true, but bought one to try out. I have to say, we absolutely love it! We’ve cooked lamb, steaks and chicken in it so far, and they come out perfectly cooked! The best part is it’s very easy to clean too! It has now become our method of cooking meats. Will try other things to cook, it’ll be great to experiment more.
I haven’t used all the functions of the grill yet but so far have found it wonderful for scampi, steak, chips, chops and chicken (whole, pieces and spatchcocked)
It preheated very quickly and cooked in the time recommended in the manual. I find the probe particularly useful for chicken, though I suggest using a slightly higher temperature and allowing more standing time if the chicken is still chilled.
I’ve used it to brown off the top of gratins, pasta bakes and cauliflower cheese. You do have to be a little careful of the temperature chosen for some dishes that need cooking as well as browning as it can burn the top before the centre is cooked if set too high. So better to choose a lower temperature for your first attempt and increase it next time if necessary.
I was a little worried by some reviews that talked about smell and smoke but experienced none of that.
We’ve moved house and have inherited an old and useless oven so I think that this will replace oven cooking for virtually everything until I get a new oven. My combination microwave is also now obsolete as the Ninja is so much quicker and works so much better in terms of crispness, leaving food moist in the centre.

Love my 🥷
Amazing product. I am a Nija lover and own 2 more appliances, and this one doesn’t fails. The steak is amazing, also using the airfryer a lot. Super happy with the purchase. Highly recommended. The only downside is the cleaning part of inside lid. It’s quite tricky to do it.
I fell in love with this after the first few uses. It’s quick, easy to clean and the food came out beautifully. I fully recommend i
Well worth the money
Easy to clean
Everything is cooked so quickly yet just right, even frozen chips and pies etc, ive cooked curry’s etc from scratch mixed grills are great
Well worth the money and I’ve not used the conventional oven since I started to use this and very little use of the hob
What did I do without it!!!
I have had this for a few months now and I use it virtually every day. I use all the functions apart from dehydrate.
It has helped us as part of a healthier lifestyle as well as making cooking meals after work quicker too.
So easy to use and the non stick is high quality. I don’t know what id do without it.
I'm in love
Everything is perfect
I made fries from raw. I cooked grill from frozen meet. You cannot fault i
Great all round kitchen appliance
I love this it is used at least once a day
I cook breakfast in it
Cheese on toast is gorgeous
Small whole chicken
Chicken breast wrapped in bacon
Chips or sweet potatoe fries
I just love it and my husband has even started to use it now
Probably the best kitchen item I have ever bough
This really is a revelation, good BBQ-cooked food right here in the kitchen along with just about anything else you can think of: including perfectly cooked steaks and cheese and ham toasties to die for. Youtube is full of excellent recipes to make sure you get the best from it as well. Yes, it does take a fair bit of space on the worktop, but it earns every inch!
More convenient than using big ove
Far more convenient to use than full size oven especially if only cooking for small family, takes less time to heat up and cooks quicker, usually use fan oven instructions when cooking but start checking things are cooked sooner.
Steaks still juicy even though slightly well done more than intended, used dehydrate method to cook a joint of beef and Air fry sliced like butter.
Main oven broke and don’t miss it apart from pizza
My beautiful kitchen Ninja
I use it daily one of the most used items of use in my kitchen perfect roasts , Chips , kebabs & the steaks are Restuarant quality , just need to make a cake only thing is only me to eat it unless I find a calorie free recipe
It is a great item
Like everything about it you can put a whole meal in it and just sit back
Don’t hesitate
Added this little beauty to my collection of ninja’s! I’ve already got the foodi which I love beyond words, however I wanted something I could keep out in my new kitchen. I literally use this grill every single day- I even make my toast in It! Just this morning I bunged some chicken wings on air fry mode then a quick 3 min blast on grill mode and they went down a treat! The convenience is just unrivalled! Easy to clean with great tasting food that requires little effort!
Best product I have ever brough
I was a little worried about spending so much money on another kitchen gadget. I couldn’t have been more wrong. I have hardly used my oven since. It cooks everything so quick, I love it.
Does the job and more.
The Ninja range are, by far the best small cooking devices. Extremely efficient, simple to use and so easy to clean. I was so impressed by my first purchase of the Ninja pressure cooker that I bought the Ninja Max health grill. A must buy!!!!
very good still figuring it ou
still seeing all the options that it can be used far but so far so good, i know people rave about making chips in this but for me this has been same ok quality as my cheap air fryer so clearly I’m doing something wrong lol
Brillia
Really very pleased with this Ninja, it was much bigger than I expected . Everything I’ve tried has worked really well.
It’s easy to clean and faster than conventional oven cooking. Solid construction.
Very healthy option when you see how little grease it generates.
I use this to cook frozen chips, croquettes etc. I love how precise the timing is allowing fine adjustments to be made for perfect results. Also I grill steaks, burgers and it’s brilliant for cooking sausages. This has never given off smoke or smells and is so easy to clean after use if you soak the containers first. I prefer to steam cook vegetables so don’t really use it for veggies yet.
The enclosed recipe book is a bit limited and I wish it gave information on the roasting option. This would be my only real complaint.
Overall this is a brilliant machine and I would definitely recommend it.
Good buy
Was surprised at how big it is!!! and be warned it’s quite heavy. Have only tried the air fry function so far and the chips came out lovely and crisp. Like the fact that everything is removable for cleaning. You don’t need a degree in rocket science to operate this either. Looking forward to cooking more stuff and experimenting with the different features.
Superb cooking results!
Cooks perfectly every time, multifunctional and very versatile. I’ve now used all the functions and have yet to be disappointed with the results. Dismantles easily and all removable parts go straight into the dishwasher. Didn’t give 5 stars as the fan stopped working in the first week and had to get a replacement. Good value for money and saves putting the oven on for smaller portions.
Perfect results with the probe
Amazing machine. It’s easy to use, easy to clean, cooks perfectly every time. I love to cook steaks with the probe and they are the best I’ve ever done.
It does take up a lot of room on the worktop. I put mine away in a cupboard when I’m not using it. I got it at a great price too. Couldn’t be happie
Quality results from a quality device
Good quality build. The heavy grill plate really sizzles the meat and give actual char-grill lines. Cooks really quickly – by the time I was setting up the sides, salad etc it was done. Temperature probe means cooking takes care of its self. Seems involved setting the right programme, on first use, but I know this will become second nature with more use. Food is absolutely great in look and taste which is what it is all about. Probably the best kitchen purchase I have made as it does it all….!
A Great Purchase!
Read the many positive reviews and after pondering decided to purchase when the Ninja Foodi XL was on promotion. Not disappointed! Cooks steaks perfectly. Now being more adventurous with it and fails not to amaze each time I use it.
I absolutely love this, it is so easy to use, I’ve even taught my daughter who has learning disabilities and is blind how to use it. We have made just about everything from full English breakfast to rice pudding, joints of meat to chips, buns to apple crisps it is so versatile.
