    I bought a big stainless steel baker’s rack from Sam’s club and have my stuff on that and it’s working for me. Of course the foodie pressure cooker has to be on the kitchen counter because of the standing up air fryer lid while you’re pressure cooking. Plus it’s so heavy it’s earned it place on counter and I use it for all kinds of cooking. I love how perfect my biscuits came out from frozen to golden brown perfection in 15 minutes and I never had to turn on the oven or heat up the whole kitchen. ❤️❤️❤️My ninja foodie pressure cooker and my foodie grill are my absolute favorite kitchen toys along with my Kitchenaid stand mixer and my silicone spurtles.

    Surprised today and happy to see you with the indoor grill. I've had the XL for a while and love it. You also showed me that I can make my own pre-set internal temperature. I didn't figure that out :)) thank you so much. Your reviews always are so great. You also said there is a little greasy area in back that needs to be wiped out. I will have to check that out. I thought I had cleaning down good. So Looking forward to your cooking videos on the NFGrill! I Have mine sitting next to my NFTcrisp. I just like doing a whole chicken and unless my chicken is small, smashed spatchcockedand small, it won't fit the way I like. That's the only thing I prefer about the smaller NFgrill is the deeper pot. I think NF did that on purpose :)). Maybe next XLgrill model will have the deeper pot.

    Thank you so much for your video! I've been needing EXACTLY this...so much so that I'm making my first ever KZread comment. 😆 I have the Foodi Tendercrisp and LOVE it! I've had my eye on the Foodi grill to replace my old George Foreman. When I saw the XL, I got really excited because I have 3 growing boys and need the capacity. So your video was incredibly insightful for me! Question...can I do a standing rib roast in the XL grill? Is it deep enough? I've only ever made that in the oven, but it always falls over and I have to keep fixing it, which is hard in the oven. Would be much easier in a Foodi, especially with the smart thermometer! Thanks for your insight!

    I LOVE mine---LOVE it. I have the regular foodie grill. I use it almost every single day, and I cook for 4 adults. On many occasions, I cook 50% to all of the meal in it- without cleaning in between. Example- We eat a half of a baked potato each, I scrub 2 very well, cut them in half, LIGHTLY coat them with evoo, and hit the roast button. In eh- 25 minutes? Sometime less, I take those golden delicious babies out, pop in the grill and then toss in the meat for the night. Once in a while, I may grill another vegetable along with the taters. But, I always lightly coat and I mean nearly not at all coat everything with evoo! Never had a smoking problem. If you are not using this to make most of your meals, you are missing out. I have even cleaned her up after cooking and popped in a cake :) Oh and have you tired CORN BREAD? LOL Whoa now! That is some good stuff!

    Whenever you do a wet marinade you should blot the meat dry before grilling for the best sear. Otherwise the wet marinade steams and prevents the nice crust from forming. Glazes should be applied toward the end of cooking and I only glaze the top to avoid burning.

    I just ordered the Ninja eg201 yesterday which I guess is the updated version of the original as Ninja doesn't have the ag301 on their website. I read a lot of reviews and watched a lot of videos before making my decision. The XL was attractive because of the temperature probe, but it would take up more real estate on my countertop and I'm only cooking for me. The decision was made when I watched a video comparing the two and she made spatchcock chicken. The chicken would not fit in that shallow pan of the XL without smashing it down and then it still was touching the upper screen and the temperature probe did not even measure the correct temp. When it said it was done, the chicken was still bleeding. She indicated that she probably could fit a whole rack of ribs in the XL tho and probably couldn't in the regular Ninja. But if I want to make ribs, I can cut the rack in half. So it was really a no brainer for me to buy and smaller (but deeper) unit ... which, BTW fit only one less pork chop than the XL. Also, you can get a 3-tier rack for dehydrating for the deeper unit so I can get rid of the dehydrator I have. If you buy the XL, don't trust that temperature probe!

    The presets take into account the additional warming (carry over cooking) done during rest period. In general it shuts the grill 5 degrees below the target, and monitors the remaining assent outside the grill.

    I don't think you will get the grilled flavor on any indoor appliance, but the grill gets much hotter than the Foodi so it does do a slightly better job of grilling. I like using the sear n sizzle plate in the Foodi which heats up nicely and does a great job.

    Oh Louise! I’m so with you on the chicken temperature. Anyone using standard practices for cooking meat is going to let it rest 15 minutes after cooking which raises the internal temperature. But 170 is going to take it way too high. On the other hand, I’ve heard of BBQ experts slow cooking up to 195 internal. But I think they were just talking about briskets. In other news, it was just announced on the news that McDonald’s is releasing the McRib again. First time since 2012. This must be a Halloween event. It’s frightening. Imagine sitting down with a date on Halloween, watching Night of The Living Dead and serving up McRibs. Did it move? THE MCRIB JUST MOVED! KILL IT AGAIN!
