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: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Y7lksA_17Ao.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
Wow. Nice job. Your video put this device under consideration again. For my needs, I’m really attracted to the square footage of surface and the grill and air fry options.
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.
lol that's clean in comparison to my hood. The hood on mine is black. What I have found is that if you keep the filter and the inner surround clean you don't have any problems with smoke or smells.
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’ve got some crud stuck on my grill plate I use it mostly for steaks that are seasoned with rub the dish washer doesn’t seem to be able to get it off any suggestions?
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 ?
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.
Sure. I can look into that. It could be a little tough, since there's a few reasons it can happen that might be out of my control though. Will see what I can do
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.
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.
Any advice .. When I open the lid the Ninja grill no longer stops.. keeps running. I have always cleaned my grill after each use. Really bummed because this is my go to for cooking.
Mine is doing the same thing but I watch a couple of troubleshooting videos and I’m trying those hacks I’ll let you know if it works I’m doing as we speak
@@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.
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.
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!
