Does seeing how to clean this make you more or less likely to pick one up? You might also like this Ninja Pressure Cooker cleaning video as well: kzread.info/dash/bejne/i2ugzdV6j5SdcdI.html

I have the real secret. I’ve done this as long as I’ve had mine. After each use I soak the grill parts I use in hot water with Dawn. I soak the mesh filter the same after each use. I clean every inside chrome part with hot water and Dawn , rinsing well, drying. My foodie grill XL looks like new. Even the burner areas . To me this is the real secret. But if folks don’t do this then your ideas are great TY

It really is a good use of the space. Also nice to be able to grill inside. It's super windy around my house a lot of days.

Thank you for speaking about bar keepers friend. I wish ninja would make a grill where you can take the lid off and pull out the fan to clean the top out.

Totally agree. If you buy Ninja stuff there are a few things that are certain... Lots of features for the price, on the loud side, tough to clean.

Great job! I never thought of mixing bar keepers with a little water! 👍

You could also use baking soda with a splash of distilled vinegar... like the barkeepers friend and water but it won't create toxic fumes when it gets in heating elements the next time you fire it up. Beware, unless you can really rinse BF off thoroughly, it will stick to parts you miss on under side and create fumes on your food...

I would like to see your mesh filter after it comes out of the dish washer. I’m wondering if it stays dark or does it shine up. I’m not sure what kind of metal it is but I have a strainer that used to be shiny like that then over use turned dark. I love my foodie grill Xl so much. I’ll prob buy another one. I like having two of everything. ( OCD ) I love everything Ninja is putting out lately. I have the blender, processor , pressure cooker with air fryer lid. You name it. I love kitchen appliances and I use them. I have the nuwave counter oven, grill, airfryer etc etc. I use it a lot also. But I don’t see a lot of demos on it. Question: Can the coil come out ?

@JoesPhenomenal

Жыл бұрын

Heya, Dizzie... The coil is permenantly in there... On the mesh filter, that is made of stainless steel. It comes out nice in the dishwasher, but the mesh portion doesn't come out completely clean. On mine, I give it a soak in white vinegar for a couple of hours and then a light scrubbing, and it does a decent job getting it all the way clean. Not too bad with just the dishwasher though.

You can always use a spray bottle with some soapy water to get up in areas it might be hiding... You don't wanna drench the thing, but you should try to get as much of that stuff off as you can before cooking in it to be safe.

How do you clean the fan?

@JoesPhenomenal

That, I spray with fabuloso, and scrub it with a dish brush... It's kinda sharp and bendy, so I don't like getting in there too much... It would be nice if that was a removable part.

What about the inside under the plates?

@@user-vg3cl1dm3e It has been happening on and off for a couple months now. I ended up ordering a new grill that should arrive tomorrow while Ninja has it on sale. I use it too much to not be able to rely on it working. Still let me know if you figure anything out. It doesn't hurt to have two grills.

I haven't cleaned my grill in ages....it's disgusting haha, but every method seems to take an awful long time I often wonder, couldn't a small pressure washer be used on it (outside of course) to blast off the fat and such? I hate the fact they make the fan area so sharp and jagged.

Didn't you remove the excess product? Won't you come down for food?

I had to take apart the hood because I want to clean the hidden area at the burner, and now it is impossible to put it back. The burner is not easy to take out you have to destroy the wire that are connected to it. Poor design ninja foodie grill should not put nuts behind the screws because it is impossible to put it back.

I know... I tried to get it dirtied up a bit for the video, but I'm usually really good about keeping on top of the cleaning stuff, so most of the time most of my appliances look almost new. I'm weird like that.....amongst other things!

The bottom line, great working machine, horrible engineering. Ninja WANTS these to get cruddy and dirty so they fail and you buy another one for $200 and toss this into a landfill. They should have a snap in/out shell for the top section. I bought a pair of the OXO kitchen brushes that work really well getting into tight crevices. All in all, I like my Ninja XL but will never buy another one, there just isn't enough long term thought in the design, this is a use it up and replace appliance.
