    You mentioned you don’t like how the grill doesn’t show the temp from the probe while the food is resting. Just an FYI in case you didn’t know, if you hold “manual” down for 2 seconds while the food is resting, it will display the temp!

  • @tulipsmoran5197
    @tulipsmoran5197 2 года назад +41

    Perhaps you're not aware that Phillips the inventor of the air fryer developed the "Starfish" design to create greater velocity of air moving across the food without losing temperature. Ninja designed the Starfish technology (patterns and depth of grid valleys) into their grill grates for optimum velocity and heat. The Foodi Grill grate is ceramic coated for higher heat retention and ease of clean up. The sizzle grill defeats the starfish technology and grid depth which is why you didn't get the same cook on the second breast. Sorry you don't like the appearance of grill mark design in the starfish technology but the aluminum sizzle grill eliminates what makes the Foodi Grill great. Not sure why you're placing food on the center mark of the Foodi Grill grate. Keep it centered over the starfish pattern. You'll get greater Maillard carmelization and improved taste. Also the constant banging of the sizzle grill will chip the cook pot, grate or base liner every time you take it in and out. NOT A GOOD IDEA - Keep the sizzle grill on your outdoor grill and out of your indoor appliances.

    • @jaypar6605
      @jaypar6605 Год назад

      This is the most correct comment. Never put your meat in the center to block the center hole of your foodi grill. Also, skipping preheat will make the food worsely cooked by the original grill, because that grill is coated with ceramic but made of cast iron inside, it needs time to heat to proper temprature, it also needs time to cool down.

    • @mygoldfishrocks
      @mygoldfishrocks Год назад

      I have the ninja pressure cooker/air fryer. That's a really good idea to line the bottom pan. I've been using aluminum foil on the basket, which is great (no clean up at all), not maybe lining the pot would help with air circulation... although even with just the foil, it still crisps pretty well.

  • @joescullion5604

    Just got one. The dawn power scrub has really been a game changer in clean-up! Another thing I do for the "bottom pan" ( like when I'm doing wings) is cut a piece of parchment to put under the fry basket or grill grate. Helps with clean-up.

I had tried cooking on medium and taking out at 70 c (about 158 F I think), but still it ended up being fed to the dogs (who frankly weren’t all that interested either)!!

  • @sspddmon
    @sspddmon 3 года назад +1

    My hunch on the difference in the two is simply airflow. If you look at the design of the original grate, it promotes a swirling airflow effect that draws from below and spins outwardly. Think of this grate as the "convection" setting in a traditional oven. That's probably why your first one temp'd a little higher with a tougher exterior. The second grate doesn't promote the same kind of airflow and acts more like the 'bake' setting on a traditional oven. Hence the slightly lower resulting temp and softer exterior. My $0.02 at least...
    If the above is true, I'd be curious about consistency across multiple pieces - especially as you get closer to the edge of the pan - given most people won't be cooking just one at a time.

    • @TheSaltedPepper
      @TheSaltedPepper  3 года назад +2

      It's more about heat transfer and even cooking, but I'm sure air flow also comes into play. When the juices release from the meat during cooking, they hit the grill grate and steam which keeps the chicken from getting that tough exterior. The grill grate gets hotter than the other grate because of the material it's made of. It's pretty impressive.

    i wonder if the color change from the original was caused by the center of the original grate for the grill has holes getting more air circulation than the Sear 'N Sizzle that is solid. which would also make it the texture different and "leathery like".Makes me want to buy the grill now. I just bought a new foodi last week.

      I spray stuck on food with Dawn Platinum Powerwash. It has cleaned some really hard to remove food. I still use my 20+ year old Foreman grill. I really dislike cleaning the grate on it. For one thing the grate doesn’t come off so, I set it next to the sink, spray and let sit until ready to cleanup. I think your grate would clean up beautifully with the Dawn. I do enjoy your RUclips’s.

    I’m confused, so when it says to “FLIP”, you’re not actually flipping the chicken, why? You’re just keeping it on the same side, and moving it to a different position on the grill. 🤷🏼‍♀️

    I saw you said you cooked the rest on the grill grate of your choice... Did you cook one at a time or multiples... Which ones tastes better the first ones or so on because one thing I do know is that with this test one had more time at room temperature than the other which makes a huge difference in cooking. I'm just curious.

    • @TheSaltedPepper
      @TheSaltedPepper  3 года назад

      I let the chicken sit out for about 30 minutes or so before the video so they were close in temp. I cooked 1 at a time in this video, but that was just time to compare. I would cook them both at the same normally.

    I used flat iron steaks to test out my new grill grate. In my case, the results were actually reversed. The steak that came off the grill grate vs the one that I cooked using the original starfish was tougher and had a less than desirable crust. This video was awesome though and I'll try it again with something else.

      Some people are using a raw onion rubbed over the grates. Or you can cook a bunch of burgers and have them season it. I didn't season my first one for the Foodi PC & AC and it works great! I just cooked a few steaks and burgers and that did the trick.

  • @7heRedBaron
    @7heRedBaron 3 года назад +1

    I think the reason the Ninja grill grate is spiraled is because the spinning fan is pushing the air down in a circular manner as it’s running. Whether this is to give the user a visual impression of this being an air fryer grill compared to a more traditional panini grill or if there is an actual result from this, I don’t know. But the trivet on the Foodi fryer basket has a similar design. I’m surprised the result came out so strongly to one over the other. I’ve heard at least one recommendation to order the grate from Ninja as an accessory to the Air Fryer oven instead of having both appliances. But knowing the Sear And Sizzle is available isn’t something you want to forget. I believe my Foodi does excellent burgers even without a grill.

    • @TheSaltedPepper
