Thanks for your video. I'm interested in the grill on the left (I live in Europe, so it's the Ninja Foodi MAX Grill & Air Fryer [AG551EU]).
Do you know if it works with liquids? (Can the fan be turned off so that it doesn't make a mess with liquids?)
E.g. is it possible to make stew, goulash or bone broth in this grill? And what about making lasagna or casserole?
Hi John here bought. For Christmas gift for me and my wife ninja XL pro can't wait to try it
Let us know how you like it! - J
I thought that at least one of them can cook with the lid open, like a traditional griddle
That would be great, but no unfortunately they can't. - J
DO NOT RELY ON THAT PROBE. I thought it was a cool feature, the only time I ever used it was when I was pan searing a steak on my stovetop and my meat thermometer was out by the grill. It wasn’t even relatively close. If there’s a fault with this machine it’s that probe, wrap it up and never take it off, pretend it’s not even there. Great appliance otherwise, I have abused the hell out of mine with the bare minimum maintenance, and she’s still kicking, an excellent $170 or whatever I bought it for.
I agree 100% ! Marc
I love the way Canadians pronounce "out" and "about". Love Ninja products!
Thanks! 🇨🇦🇨🇦 - J
The grill preheat is longer because its also thoroughly heating up the grill plate. That part is important when using the grill function.
Makes sense! - J
Appreciate you posting this! The original gen 1 review yall did caught my eye. Have been here ever since.
Bought my gen1 on Amazon then discovered not long after that the newer one existed. Glad to know they a😊re the same product!
Thanks for the great comment !! Marc
I Love your videos, Marc and Jamie!!! Your honesty and forthrightness comes through the screen! Keep up the good work!
Thank you so much for the ongoing support !! Marc
This was the best review! Thank you for being so thorough!
Thanks so much! - J
Thanks for the comparison -- was hoping that the new one was a little deeper so I could cook a larger chicken but guess not -- will just keep going with my gen 1 machine which I use a lot.
They are basically the same. Marc
How big a chicken can you cook in it? Does it turn out well? I want one but can't find one in store and hate buying "blind." Love the review, though.
Very precise. Not much wasting time. Gets to the point
Thank you !! Marc
Hey Myrtle Beach! That’s where I call home. I live at the Dye Course @ Barefoot, if you’ve ever been. Yes we like our burgers medium/medium rare.
Awesome !! Barefoot landing, know the area well. We always stay up in cherry grove area. Cheers. Marc
Awesome review, thank you. Would have liked to see a medium rare steak cooked... I guess you can choose the lower setting if the probe is over cooking things.
Thanks for the comment! That's true, you can adjust as needed for sure. - J
Even when you take food off the grill it continues to rise in temperature. That’s what resting is
Yes you are correct. Thanks for watching! - J
I just wish it was making a larger wider grill, All of them looks the same they just change the hood and display
I totally agree with you. Thanks for watching ! Marc
I bought the original grill a couple years ago. Mine came with a silicone cleaning brush. You can also order these brushes from ninja. Mine cleans up quite well with this brush. I agree if using a sponge or cloth, would probably not be great getting in between the slots.
Anyway, just found your channel. Good stuff!
Thanks for the great comment! - J
Do you still like this grill? Do the brushes you mentioned help?
@@TravelingwithJenny I do. Cleaning the lid is a royal pain. Mine looks dirty even though it isn’t. I looked at the new model and it looks like that has been improved. The trays and the grill plate clean up fine with the brushes. Sometimes I let it soak in hot water for 30 minutes if I don’t get it cleaned right away. It does a great job of cooking any meat you throw at it. Steaks to burgers. If I had to make a complaint it would be that it takes up a lot of real estate on the countertop. Beyond that, it is great.
I thought that at least one of them can cook with the lid open, like a traditional griddle
Unfortunately not. - J
You can buy you need the IG version not the DG
IG 651 OR IG551
DG 651 OR DG 551 CANT.
@@aymanhawari2589 - thanks for that. I like the flatter shape of this grill appliance, which provides more cooking surface area. I bought the Ninja Foodi way back, and while I appreciate its volume, it doesn't have more surface area like a griddle. I just wish this Ninja Grill could also include a pressure cooker feature. Then I'd buy it for sure.
I'm from Australia and the first time I've seen the option to how well you want your burgers was in a American style restaurant called Brooklyn Depot. First time seeing that option! I was like nope, I'll have the buger well done. (wth? No where else in Australia gives you that option.)
I am not eating raw mince hahah.
We can relate! Thanks for watching! - J
We can put parchment paper in the air fryer basket to make it easier to clean?
That could work, depending on what you're cooking. Thanks for watching! - J
I love this grill and use it about 4 times a week.
PROBLEM: I have not been able to get the grill completely clean even with the brush. Will the dishwasher get it clean?
And how to clean the inside? 😫
It's a pain to do deep cleans on some products, including these. Do your best! - J
Ya the new one on the right since it heats up faster, looks like it might have more insulation thicker look
Could be! - J
I always go for a medium well done and never had an issue! Seems safe to me!
Can’t go wrong safe !! Thanks for watching. Marc
@@TheAverageKitchen Also can't go wrong with not taking any risk by staying home but even that isn't a guarantee! Life if full of risk and rewards. Don't live life in fear but enjoy it to the fullest extent!
Agreed! - J
Hey! Great video! We've been loving your content. 🔥
Thanks very much for watching and the comment. Marc
I'm pretty sure the touchscreen on the older version was a huge pain, I know mine stopped working. The new version is almost the same, but back to buttons.
Good to know !! Marc
I like my burgers medium with onion rings & BBQ sauce on it. Thanks for another great review guys!
Thanks so much for the support! - J
I'm American and I prefer well done burgers... didn't know ppl ate burgers any other way lol
Fair enough. Every time I go to 🇺🇸 and order a burger at a restaurant, they ask how I want it done. In 🇨🇦 that’s not an option. Cheers. Marc
@@TheAverageKitchen ahhh understood
Dry a** burger
Believe it or not people do eat somewhat uncooked burgers.
Depends on the restaurant
Is it possible that they have the ability to recalibrate the probes??
Possibly, although I don't remember that from the manual. - J
Did you guys have a comparison between all the grill/air crisp/fry combos coming out soon? Or which one you would recommend.
We haven't done that yet, have to try the new ones out. Look out for the reviews though! - J
Are these Models DG551 vs FG551?
DG551 for sure. We don't have the old one anymore, but I believe it is yes. - J
Can you guys review the 2023 breville joule® oven air fryer pro vs the 2017 version of the sameone? thanks
We'll see what we can do! Thanks for watching! - J
REALLY ENJOY YOUR GUY'S VIDEOS, but i've watched others who use the probes, and they don't seem to have the problems you two have, when testing them. Any ideas why??? I'm just curious. Keep up the great videos.
We wish we knew! As far as we can tell we've used them as instructed. Thanks for watching! - J
Thanks for your review! Did you have to flip the burgers?
Cheers thanks. Yes we did. Marc
i guess the difference is more aethetics? one seems rounder
Basically yes.
Been binge watching your channel and I’ve been enjoying and learning a lot! Keep up the great videos 😊
Thank you so much !! Marc
Does the basket and grill plate fit at the same time for storage?
No it doesn't, which is kind of a pain. - J
Another good review guys. Is it me or is that background music getting louder?
I didn't think so but we'll check it out! - J
Just watched your comparison video and you made NO mention of whether either one had smoke coming out while cooking the burgers. Smoke was showing on your original view of the older model. Well….?? Did either smoke this time? 🤔
If it's a very fatty or oily food, yes, it's going to smoke. - J
I grind my own hamburger meat so when I do that, medium rare. If I'm out, well done because I don't know the quality of the meat.
That’s a great point !! Marc
Thoughts on Dreo ChefMaker Combi Fryer ?
Not familiar with that one sorry. - J
It’s highly recommended by many cooking channels. I hope you can acquire one for a review soon.
So far these are what im leaning towards
1. Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer
2. Joule Instant Vortex Air Fryer Plus
3. Ninja Air Fryer
4. Cosori
Why don't you do a comparison with the 1st generation grill. With the new 6 /1 grill?
We'll see what we can do! - J
Me from America never knowing that they make medium rare or medium well and have never been asked 😂😂 maybe its just that area 🤷🏽♀️
So how does your burger come out at a restaurant? Marc
You Did NOT Taste the Wings, & is that Tyson Southern style wings 1-27-24 do the wings again & taste !!
Ooookkkaaaayyyy then.
Hi Marc, which frill takes up less space?
Hey there, they basically have the same footprint. Marc
@TheAverageKitchen Thanks Marc.
You r welcome
🤙🏼
Dude, they look the same. It looks like they just made it to match the salt water gray foodis.
Dude…. We do reviews, no engineer and design them. Thanks for watching dude. Marc
does the new model have heating also underneath and the old one doesn’t?
I believe they both have heating underneath. - J
I just spoke to Ninja, and the older one doesn't, I don't know about the newer one.
Is Jamie an imaginary friend? I can't hear him/her or whatever.
I'm as real as they come, baby! - J
Jamie appears in some videos. BTW, the first Average Kitchen review I watched was made by Jamie😂😂
Thanks for the support! - J
you had the breast in the grill while it was still preheating, duh.
Thanks Jimmy.
You cooked frozen burgers?
Yes we did.
