The oil matters
GRILL
The grill that sears,
sizzles, and air fry crisps
™
For less smoke,
we recommend using oils
with a high smoke point—
like canola, coconut, avocado,
vegetable, or grapeseed oil—
instead of olive oil.
Tips & Tricks
Grill
Don’t overcrowd
Evenly arrange and space out
ingredients in a single layer
to ensure consistent browning
and even charring.
x3
Batch cooking
Empty the fat/oil from the
bottom of the pot if batch
cooking more than twice.
For best results, allow the
unit to run for three minutes
between batches to reheat
the grill grate.
Check your food temp
The Foodi Grill cooks quickly,
so monitor doneness with
a food thermometer. Internal
food temperature continues
to rise as food rests, so
remove it 5°F before target
temperature is reached.
Please make sure to read the enclosed Ninja® Owner’s Guide prior to using your unit.

For best results with fresh
vegetables, use an even,
light coating of canola oil.

Want juicier meat?
After grilling, remove meat and let rest
at least 5 minutes before cutting it.
More flavor. Less smoke.
Not included
After countless hours of recipe testing, our chefs have paired your favorite foods
with a recommended temperature setting that will maximize grill flavors while minimizing smoke.
We’ve also created a list of popular ingredients with our recommended cooking directions.
LOW (400°F)
Best for bacon, sausages,
and calzones, and when using
thicker barbecue sauces.
FOR LESS SMOKE, WE RECOMMEND USING OILS WITH A HIGH SMOKE POINT—LIKE
CANOLA, COCONUT, AVOCADO, VEGETABLE, OR GRAPESEED OIL—INSTEAD OF OLIVE OIL.
If you choose to cook ingredients at a higher temperature than recommended, it may result in more smoke.
MED (450°F)
Best for frozen meats
and marinated food.
HIGH (500°F)
Best for steaks,
chicken, and burgers.
MAX (up to 510°F)
Best for veggies,
fruit, fresh/frozen
seafood and pizza.
