Read on for more promising reviews of the Ninja indoor griddle and grill:
“I got this to prep large amounts of marinated chicken easily. I don’t want to bake/boil all the time as that doesn’t taste as good and makes hard to clean ovenware. At the same time, using my bbq is a bit of a chore to do often and can dry out the chicken. This is everything I hoped for so far, I marinated a bunch of chicken breasts overnight and the next morning threw them on the ninja. I didn’t realize I was supposed to let it warm up first, but it didn’t matter. At the indicated chicken setting of 375F I ended up turning the chicken twice but could have done it once once I get the time per side down. I was concerned that the insides of the thick full size chicken breasts wouldn’t cook but they were perfect. NOW FOR THE BEST PART. I took the grill surface while still hot to the sink and everything, even in the drip tray residue just rinsed right off with the water wand only.. no scrubbing, no soaking. Hopefully the excellent non-stick coating stands up over time because its awesome and I am going to make sure nothing metal ever touches it. It only took 2 minutes max to clean up after cooking 8 chicken breasts. Fantastic product and result.” — Michael
“I grilled 2 New York steaks. They were perfectly cooked and juicy inside. The grill plate was so easy to clean, I wiped the grease from the catch channel and put it in the dishwasher. I cooked 4 hamburgers, then I grilled sliced zucchini and onions. The grill is a great size. You can grill enough for 4 to 6 people. Works great, very easy to clean and no grease spatters!!” — Wendy Emel
“This grill is outstanding. We had a Hamilton Beach that wasn’t heating properly anymore after 4 years of use so we bought this after lots of research & reading reviews. We were going to get the 6 in 1 but we like to have our grill separate from the Air Fryer, & this got better reviews than that product. We also had to pick between this model, & the cheaper model that didn’t come with a griddle & im really happy we decided to get this because the griddle is amazing. Normally, in our biggest frying pan I can only get 5 pieces of bacon which I constantly have to rotate in order to make sure it cooks evenly. But on this? I can easily fit 8 pieces of bacon that all cook together at the same time because the heat distribution on this grill is awesome. With our last grill there would be grease spots under the grill, that would some how miss the trap, but not with this, and it gets hotter than the other one, and I think it’s hotter than the dial is set at 350° to 375°? It cooks at what seems like 400° so I found myself turning it down more than the instructions suggested. It’s really easy to use, and clean. It’s also very sleek & modern looking on the counter. -The only two complaints we would have are, it doesn’t have a light to indicate when it reaches its cooking temp, and it didn’t come with a complimentary Ninja Throwing Star. I was really looking forward to that. I hope you love this as much as we do! (If you decide to get it!)” — Antonio Bello
“What sets the ninja sizzle apart from other indoor nonstick grills is the ability to get to 500. Degrees. Higher temps Make a huge difference in taste color and texture of anything born to be charred .I don’t get why ninja recommends lower then max temp for most foods? Today was an epiphany for me in the burger world . In All my years of cooking , great restaurant quality cheeseburgers was a goal I could never exactly Reach . Today , saw the error of my ways . I made a batch of fresh 80/20 on sizzle with grill plate. seasoned meat ,7 min warm up and placed a10″x10″ heavy burger press on all 4 patties at once with occasional push down . I always felt pressing on burger with press or spatula would enhance the contact and char on a hot grill , WRONG! All the Juice/ fat( flavor and juiciness ) washed away down to fat gutter at bottom of grill . I now also believe the cooler juice pressed out of burgers cools down the grill or griddle prevents malliard reaction, keeping you from obtaining a great char to meat surface . My burgers were ok but little char and flavor juiciness. Disheartened, I let grill cool , washed it , and made a small burger test with 0 press down of any sort.just throw on turn1/4 after 3-4 min ,flip once and same for other side Also I let grill preheat 10-12 min.on high. Wow , probably best burger I ever made . No juice lost and great char by not pressing on it at all. Crazy how something so simple makes all the difference . Back to sizzle, sorry if I got sidetracked,this thing is great , griddle or grill . Easy clean , way less smoke , simple one dial cooking. I have about 6 ninja products and love them all . Good quality , recommend .” — D. Ryan
