Everything from corn dogs, vegetables, grilling steaks, baking potatoes. It does everything. It has multiple setting including grilling, air frying, backing ets. It is large but not too large for a countertop. It looks very nice and modern and will not be an eyesore on your countertop. Very easy to clean. The basket, grill and frying pan attachments are all non-stick and are detachable, just make sure to let them cool down before you try to remove them to clean. You will love this machine.
Review: This Has Renewed My Interest In Cooking - I cannot say enough good things about the Ninja IG651 Foodi Smart XL Pro 7-in-1 Indoor Grill/Griddle Combo. This little gadget has given me a renewed love of cooking. About 3 years ago I purchased a Blackstone Flat Top Griddle, Electric Smoker, and an Oklahoma Joe's Longhorn Combo (offset smoker, charcoal grill, propane grill, all with a side burner too). I liked my outdoor kitchen but soon realized I wasn't using them often as I thought I would due to extreme hot and cold weather temps and the hassle of cleaning up. This is what led to my purchase of the Ninja OG701 7-in-1 Outdoor Electric Grill & Smoker. I enjoyed it so much I decided to buy the Ninja Foodi for indoor cooking. I've had the Ninja Foodi XL 7-in-1 for 2 ½ weeks and used the griddle 3 times, air crisp option 2 times, grill 4 times and broil once. I consider myself to be a good cook. My cooking expertise leans toward Thai, Mexican, and Indian cuisines. However, I tend to get in a hurry when frying over easy eggs and break the yolks. Plus I gave up cooking steaks years ago because I hardly ever can get them Medium Rare. Everything I have made on the Foodi has turned out perfectly. Grilled Salmon and Ribeye Steak were restaurant quality. The slipperiness of the griddle plate makes over easy eggs a breeze with in tact runny yolks. All pancakes were evenly cooked at the same time regardless of where they were on the griddle. Air Crisp zucchini fries and eggplant slices were delightfully crunchy and tasty. The baked (then broiled) meatloaf was slightly crispy on the outside yet moist on the inside. Baked skinless chicken thighs were done to perfection and very juicy. The temperature probe is fairly accurate, though my Thermapen has always been spot on so I tend to use that when cooking something super fussy. When you set a temp and insert the probe, the Ninja shuts off as soon as the programmed temp is reached. It then reminds you to let the food rest. After cooking,comes clean up. Nothing could be easier than cleaning the Ninja Foodi. The grill, griddle, and air crisp basket come clean with a sprayer faucet. Seriously, no wiping or scrubbing - a strong spray removes everything within 15 to 20 seconds. Then a quick wipe with a soapy sponge or dishcloth gets rid of any residual greasiness. I see no reason why I'd run them through the dishwasher. I also remove the splatter screen and wipe both sides with a soapy sponge then rinse under the sprayer - it still looks brand new. The only critique I have is that the included recipe pamphlet seems to have incorrect cook times on many recipes. I've seen other reviews stating the same thing…cook times are too long. I'd suggest always using an instant read thermometer or probe for greater accuracy when cooking. All in all, I'd strongly suggest getting a Ninja grill, or get two like I did.

## Features

- NINJA'S MOST POWERFUL GRILL: 500F independently powered grill grate creates direct, edge-to-edge high-heat searing for better char-grilled results. (Based on grill grate's direct heating element Versus FG500-series grills.)
- 12” BBQ GRIDDLE: flat top bbq griddle cooks foods grills can't and interlocks with the grate to harness its direct high heat. Precise temperature controls allow for fast, even cooking without hot or cold spots.
- HOOD UP OR HOOD DOWN COOKING: Keep the hood down to add cyclonic air for fast, even, high-heat cooking, surround searing, crisping, and melting. Keep the hood up for intense high heat searing and flavors with direct bottom heat only.
- SMART COOK SYSTEM PLUS THERMOMETER: The Foodi Smart Thermometer enable you to achieve the perfect doneness from rare to well with 4 smart protein settings & 9 customizable doneness levels. Do it all at a touch of a button with no more guesswork & no more over or under cooking.
- UP TO 75% LESS FAT: Air fry crisp with up to 75% less fat than deep frying (tested against hand-cut, deep-fried French fries), using the included 4-qt crisper basket.
- 7 COOKING FUNCTIONS: Grill, BBQ Griddle, Air Crisp, Roast, Bake, Broil and Dehydrate functions enabled by the wide temperature range.
- XL FAMILY-SIZED CAPACITY: Grill grate fits 6 steaks, mains, and sides at the same time, and more. Flat top BBQ griddle allows you to cook a whole platter of nachos, 4 sandwiches, or 6 pancakes.
- SMOKE CONTROL SYSTEM: the combination of our chef recommended grilling practices, a temperature-controlled grill grate, splatter shield, and cool-air zone reduces smoke, keeping it out of the kitchen.
- EASY TO CLEAN: PTFE/PFOA-free, nonstick ceramic-coated powered grill grate, crisper basket, and bbq griddle plate are dishwasher safe.
- WHAT'S INCLUDED: Ninja Foodi Smart XL Pro Griddle & Grill, 9" x 12" Grill Grate, 12" Flat Top BBQ Griddle, 4-qt. Crisper Basket, Foodi Smart Thermometer & Quick Start Guide.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What's one thing you wish you knew before you bought it?**
A: That the thermometer will not work on food items that are at or below 35 degrees F (~1.5 C).  It will flash on and off telling you the probe needs to be inserted.  If you want to cook right out of the freezer or fridge, you need to let the food warm up a bit before trying to use temperature control.  This should be something they put in the manual.  But they do not.  Other than that, love everything else about it.

**Q: Can you use other bake pans or Corning ware to bake in this?**
A: Corning ware should only be put in a pre-heated oven.
Doing otherwise could cause it to break.

**Q: How large of a whole chicken can be air fried?**
A: You can get away with a standard size frier chicken. You should spatchcock it though. Otherwise it just doesn’t cook right..

**Q: It is 220v or 110v**
A: 110v

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My Favorite Indoor Grill – Hands Down!
*by G***S on December 29, 2025*

This is absolutely my favorite indoor grill, and I loved it so much that I even purchased one as a gift! I own the XL size, which is perfect for cooking larger portions and preparing multiple items at once. I’ve grilled everything from salmon to steaks, and the results are consistently delicious every time. The fact that it also functions as an air fryer makes it even better. This 6-in-1 grill is incredibly versatile and truly earns its spot on the counter. The build quality is impressive — it feels sturdy, stable, and well-made, with accurate heat control that delivers reliable cooking results. One thing to note: when it’s heating up, it does draw a good amount of power, so I usually avoid running other appliances at the same time. Also, be sure to spray the grill or add oil first, as food will stick if you don’t. I’ve owned this grill for five years, and it’s still going strong — a true testament to its durability and quality. If you’re looking for an indoor grill that can do it all and last for years, this one is an excellent choice!
