Ninja FG551 Foodi Smart XL 6-in-1 Indoor Grill with Air Fry
INSTRUCTION
Always use recommended oils
For less smoke, use oils with a high smoke point—like canola, 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 and food having a burnt, acrid flavor.
How to place the thermometer
Once you’ve selected your cooking function, cooking temperature, protein type, and desired level of doneness, insert the Foodi™ Smart Thermometer into the thickest part of your protein while the grill is preheating.
Dual Sensor Technology
The leave-in Foodi Smart Thermometer continuously monitors the internal temperature of food in two places for more accurate cooking results. The Smart Cook System lets you know when it’s time to take your food off the grill and let it rest.
Carry-over cooking
Did you know that meat keeps cooking when you remove it from the grill?
To prevent overcooking, the unit will beep right before your food reaches the desired doneness, taking carry-over cooking into account. Transfer meat to a plate with the thermometer still inserted and allow the protein to carry over cook and rest for 3–5 minutes. Skipping carry-over cooking and cutting into food right away may result in a rarer level of doneness.
Reasons meat cooks differently
No two pieces of protein are alike, and, for that reason, they’ll never cook the same. That’s why we recommend paying close attention to the sizes of meat listed in our cooking charts. Here are some more tips to ensure a great cooking experience
Cut size
Proteins come in different shapes and sizes, which require different cooking times. If you are cooking proteins that are different sizes, insert the thermometer into the smaller protein first, as it will cook faster than the larger one. For cuts 2 inches or thicker (e.g., filet mignon) we recommend selecting the lower temperature setting within the desired doneness category (e.g., Rare 1 instead of Rare 2).
Meat temperature
For your convenience, cooking charts were created for use with cold meat, straight from the fridge.
For even juicier results
If time permits, let the meat come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking for a more juicy center.
