![]() ![]() Luckily, all of the removable parts (including the shield) can go in the dishwasher. In the top of the lid, there’s a splatter shield that needs to be popped out after each use and cleaned. We love the fact that the grill preheats automatically, but depending on the setting, the preheat time can be over eight minutes. The digital control panel on the grill is well designed and easy to read. The Foodi is well-designed, and all removable parts are dishwasher safe. Is the Ninja Foodi Grill easy to use and clean? If you love the idea of making your own dried fruits, even in small portions, and are willing to leave an appliance operating all day or overnight, you’ll be happy with the results. However, you can only fit about 18 slices onto the Foodi at a time, which yields about a cup and a half of dried apple rings. I was impressed with how well the Foodi Grill dehydrated, turning out apple rings that were the perfect degree of chewiness in seven hours. If you don’t have a full-size oven at your service and aren’t overly fussy about the way your baked goods look, this grill could be a quick way to get a homemade dessert on the table. A yellow cake came out evenly browned with a moist tender crumb, but it was seriously domed and cracked on top. However, don’t expect picture-perfect results. In a pinch, you can even bake a cake in the Foodi Grill, as the cooking pot is large enough to hold an 8-inch pan. A pork loin roast came out tender and juicy with a crackling crust. If you don’t like turning on your oven, you can roast a small cut of meat on the Ninja Grill. But as the Ninja’s lid opens upwards, we found it’s very easy to access items that need to be flipped in the crisper basket. On most air fryers, you pull out a basket to toss and turn foods during frying, and it can be awkward to hold the basket as you work. Both fresh and frozen fries came out close to those fast-food ones that we all find so irresistible. The Foodi Grill rivals the best air fryers we’ve tested. Our favorite part of the grilling experience? The Ninja was entirely smokeless throughout. Although the preheat time for grilling was about eight minutes, the food cooked quickly once on. While the strip steaks didn’t rival those grilled outdoors, they came out better than many steaks broiled in an oven. The skin on the salmon was delightfully crisp and the top well browned, even without flipping. The chicken and burgers looked like they could have been done on an outdoor grill. To test the grilling function, we cooked both fresh and frozen hamburgers, chicken breasts, salmon, and New York strip steaks-and we were very impressed. ![]() We grilled burgers and steak, baked cake, air fried fries and nuggets, and dehydrated apples in the grill to test its abilities.

Although it cooks with the lid closed, the lid doesn’t press down on food, so it only brands grill marks on one side at a time-if you want a panini, you’ll have to turn it over halfway through cooking. It can grill, air fry, roast, bake, and dehydrate.Īs you might imagine, this Foodi can grill. ![]()
