I know this video is older, but as long as you dont unplug the temp probe after cooking you can sit the steak on a cutting board rather than in the grill and it will continue to show the rest countdown. When i want to grill meats in my ninjas, this channel is my go to 😎
Back to use again. Love the video it worked a treat last time I could get some so as I bought some for my birthday I needed to refresh my memory. Thanks again CJ
Thanks for the review on the Ninja Foodi XL Grill! I won this during Christmas and it has been sitting in it's box, will def. bring it out to cook our Tomahawk steak!!
Oh ya Brother your the man, XL Grill in the house! Chop Chop that good stuff. I am mixing the presets with the manual mode, I find that I flip around 90ish when in manual mode. I did preset medium rare 5, the carryover temp went up about 10 degree's, I wish it would keep showing the temperature after holding manual button done for a few seconds. I made chicken breasts and they come out awesome and cooked perfect with Lawry's seasoning or Louisiana Air Fry Coating.
Yeah I agree. I think I’ll stick with number 3 on the preset going forward. The carry over is a lot. I need to mess with the manual. Thanks for watching!
Just got two tomahawks to cook in my new to me maxi grill. Have been following you for several years. Thank you. Shame most of your rubs don’t get to UK. CHEERS CJ
On my Ninja Foodi Grill (with the temperature probe) I always pull mine off around 100 to 105 degrees and they always seem to rise another 25-30 degrees while resting..
Seems like the opposite for me I set mine for the preset but every time I do it seems like I can't get mistakes to be cooked the way I'd like them I mean the steaks are good and the grill works really well however I guess a little bit of operator error is going on I'm still trying to learn and if there's any advice that I could get for putting three Delmonico's on this XL that'd be helpful
This is so crazy!! I bought some tomahawks yo make for Father's Day tomorrow, the weather is CRAZY WINDY (65mph winds) I can't use the grill tomorrow so I RUSHED to Walmart to find an indoor one and took a chance on the foodie xl! Then I got to googling and found your video! Can we baste while grilling???
Mine is on the way as I type this. I can’t believe how those turned out. I didn’t expect an indoor grill to be able to give a char like that. May I suggest letting them rest on a cutting board rather than on the grates? I bet they kept cooking and that may have played a role in them turning out a little more done than you preferred (I prefer ribeyes medium though! So this video made my heart skip a beat) Thanks for making it 👍🏻
Day 1 ...my Mother inlaw just bought us the XL Grill cause our apartment doesn't allow Bbqing outside 😒. Now that I see your show on how the foodi performs EXCELLENT! Dude those Tomahawks look Bomb yo !.....
Love this video..subscribed for more in the future! Also, was checking if that XL Njnja grill was good..I think I'm convinced now..Not looking to do fancy things but real juicy grilled steaks!
CJ do you agree that the thicker the steak the better color you get outside before coming to temp? Rest period? Maybe cook the steak right after the fridge or is room temperature better? How to achieve good char color before the med rare temp
Usually I let them sit out for 30 min before I cook them. I try to keep them even and always cook to internal temp. I let med rare, so I try to pull them at 125 internal, and let the carryover get it to 130. Not sure if that answered all your questions or not. But thanks for watching!
I just found your channel while browsing around trying to decide if I should buy the XL grill. I don't have the original or the xl. Watched some of your videos but I thought you were going to post where to purchase these Wagu steaks?
What are the outside dimensions? I can't find that or the weight on the Ninja website. I have the 5 in 1, but I want to know how it compares with the weight and dimensions.
New to the channel so you have answered this before but size wise it looks long and shallow vs the old model which is deeper. Have you tried baking and dehydrating in the XL? Overall which one do you recommend, Original or Smart XL.
Here’s what I tell people. If you’re going to use the grill feature a lot, then get the XL. If you plan on using all of the other features more, then the original will work great.
You can use the same temp in the original foodi grill. Timing would just depend on how you like your steak. I would get a thermometer, so you can check your temps. I usually start with 10 min setting, and check the internal temp after 5 min. You can judge it from there.
I would say if you’re going to grill more than anything else, get the XL. But if you use all the other features more, then stick with the original. And clean up is the same, more or less.
@@CookingWithCJ what size were yours? Also mine was a little over cooked as well. I don’t know exactly how accurate the preset temps are as well as the thermometer. Like when you cooked yours. It said 115 degrees on it at one point as the target temp. But medium rare is 130. And your steak still came out over cooked. I might just have to try out rare one day. Here soon and see what happens.
Damn that is delish looking. Think I drooled when you had it to close to the camera. Never had one, but if I get one of these I will look at our butchers. Stay safe & take care of you all. Thanks for sharing eh :))
These look good...I find don't have out door grill but I find that after I get my steaks to room temp...I throw them on George foreman grill just to get lite sear before air frying they have a more tender texture. I'm need to try that seasoning out
Damn it bro do you really got to have these stakes this early in the morning. Here I am working now I want to go home and eat some steak. Damn You Man!!!
Hey there any comments about the XL vs other ninjas. Is it worth it to pay extra dollars for XL? Any comments re other functions? Air fry basket size in XL compared to other Ninjas?
@@CookingWithCJ the tomhawk ( looked great) should have stopped at the cook to med rare. Even with a phone call, I be interested if you redid with reg ribeye to one less on cook chart to compare. Thanks love your videos
Awesome video as usual cj. Can’t wait to see more of this grill from you. I’m going to order one off your channel. Do you know how long it took to get to your house from order date? It really doesn’t say on their website
Curious as to why you let it rest on top of the heating element instead of pulling them out and letting them rest on the cutting board. I think that is why they came out medium instead of medium rare.
I get it. I really enjoyed your presentation. Those steaks looked fantastic! Wondering if, you were going to use the resting feature, you had set them to rare or the lighter medium rare setting, and then “rested” on the grill...if that would’ve made a difference. I really like the look and functions of the new XL grill. I’m going to have to get me one. 👍🏻👍🏻
@@CookingWithCJ lol Im not asking you bro, Im telling you. Look in the manual. The probe has two separate sensors, one on the tip one further in. Youre supposed to stick it all the way to the rubber.
I didn’t have the temp probe on the original. So I couldn’t tell ya. But I prefer to use my wireless thermometer when I cooking. Just used it on the video for demonstration. Thanks for watching.
Methinks you should have taken the meat out and let it rest on the cutting board. Resting while on the grill's what caused the over cook. That said, I'd have eaten it too!!!
@@CookingWithCJ I think the resting feature calls for removing the meat before letting it rest. That's why it says 'GET FOOD" before the resting counter starts.
I know this video is older, but as long as you dont unplug the temp probe after cooking you can sit the steak on a cutting board rather than in the grill and it will continue to show the rest countdown.

You are awesome Cj!!! I’m new here, just ordered my xl smart ninji I can’t wait to cook on it! I loooove your channel, will def be doing your recipes.
Thank you!!
On my Ninja Foodi Grill (with the temperature probe) I always pull mine off around 100 to 105 degrees and they always seem to rise another 25-30 degrees while resting..
Yeah I’m going to start pulling a little sooner. Thanks!

Hey thanks, I kinda had to sacrifice the steak to show the rest feature. But I’m with ya, usually let it rest on the cutting board. Thanks much!
Brother CJ, those steaks look the real deal! I’m going to go tomahawk!
Good stuff! Cheers brother
Great video!
Thanks!
Looks delicious. That thing is huge
Thanks bro!
WoW! Those steaks are amazing!
Thank you!
Dammit you have all my favorites can’t wait for my grill to arrive
Lol! You’re gonna dig it!
Looks medium well to me. Does it read the temp of steaks or you have set to factory settings?
It was medium. The prob monitors the internal temp and the grill shuts off when the preset setting gets hit.
Day 1 ...my Mother inlaw just bought us the XL Grill cause our apartment doesn't allow Bbqing outside 😒. Now that I see your show on how the foodi performs EXCELLENT! Dude those Tomahawks look Bomb yo !.....
Right on! It’s great for apts for sure! Thanks for watching!

What does the inside lid look like after? Is it hard to clean?
It’s not hard to clean. I’ll be doing a video on cleaning it eventually.
I just found your channel while browsing around trying to decide if I should buy the XL grill. I don't have the original or the xl. Watched some of your videos but I thought you were going to post where to purchase these Wagu steaks?
Hi I did post the sites in the video description. But here they are.
Sites for Tomahawks:

Holy Shit i very nearly took a bite out of my phone there lol luckily I took half my thumb instead 😅 Cheers brother 👍
HA! Thanks CTB! Cheers brother!

Hi!!! I have the regular foodi grill.. what would u say I should cook the steak on as far as temp and time ?
You can use the same temp in the original foodi grill. Timing would just depend on how you like your steak. I would get a thermometer, so you can check your temps. I usually start with 10 min setting, and check the internal temp after 5 min. You can judge it from there.
Im def gunna buy those steaks
Right on!
IS there a way to set the grill to let you know when to flip or are you setting an external timer? Thanks!
It automatically tells you when to flip. It’s just a quick message on the front, and I can’t seem to catch when I’m filming.
Great delicious looking steaks. CJ, ignore the phone when you cook. They can wait! LOL
Lol! Right! Thanks much! Cheers brother
At this point would you recommend getting this grill? I already have the Ninja Foodi original grill. How easy is it to clean?
I would say if you’re going to grill more than anything else, get the XL. But if you use all the other features more, then stick with the original. And clean up is the same, more or less.
You the man!
Cheers brother!
Cooking time?
😮 yes please.
Lol! Thanks!
Looks great! That will be my first post Brandon cook. Lol, a little pricy now 😎
Thank you!!
I just bought a 2.89 pound tomahawk about to grill it in the same exact air fryer. About 3 inches thick.
Very cool!

Nice! Where did you get wagyu steaks?
Thanks bro! I just text you.
Damn that is delish looking. Think I drooled when you had it to close to the camera. Never had one, but if I get one of these I will look at our butchers. Stay safe & take care of you all. Thanks for sharing eh :))
Thanks much! Take care.!
Thank you CJ & Your welcome stay safe eh@@CookingWithCJ
Yeah brother those were a tight fit but hey man it either and they came out looking fantastic! Keep on keeping on I'll see you on the next one!
Definitely! Thanks Dave! Appreciate ya
Oh man 2 tomahawks. I have made a few ribeyes in the grill but I'd be afraid to do that nice cut of meat on the grill. I'll be using that thermometer.
No fear! Lol just do it. They turned out great.
@@CookingWithCJ I will give it a shot.👍
These look good...I find don't have out door grill but I find that after I get my steaks to room temp...I throw them on George foreman grill just to get lite sear before air frying they have a more tender texture. I'm need to try that seasoning out
Definitely give it a try! Thanks for watching!
Hello! Please tell me, is there a lot of smoke from it? Does he smoke a lot?especially when frying something greasy like pork ribs
I don’t have any smoke. Just watch your temps and the oils you use to cook.
Will be back sometime next week.
Thanks Laura!
Your welcome@@CookingWithCJ
If you could only buy 1 the Ninja Grill or Grill XL and wanted it for both grilling and Air frying equally which would you buy?
Probably the original. The new XL was geared more for the grillers
I'm using your link to purchase this grill. It's still asking about a promo code. Do I need a code or do you still get credit? Awesome cook bro!
As long as you use my link you’re good. No code needed. Thanks so much! Cheers brother
Damn it bro do you really got to have these stakes this early in the morning. Here I am working now I want to go home and eat some steak. Damn You Man!!!
Lol! I’ll think about releasing them earlier for ya! Cheers brother
Hey there any comments about the XL vs other ninjas. Is it worth it to pay extra dollars for XL? Any comments re other functions? Air fry basket size in XL compared to other Ninjas?
do you think you should have done the steaks to one less for the med rare ? it looks like the chart might be off
Maybe, but I also had to take a call in the middle of filming, so it got more done while resting.
@@CookingWithCJ the tomhawk ( looked great) should have stopped at the cook to med rare. Even with a phone call, I be interested if you redid with reg ribeye to one less on cook chart to compare. Thanks love your videos
I did do ribeyes for the first cook. Video went out last week.
Wagyu tomahawks! Even if I sold my soul I couldn't afford those bad boys🤣
Lol!
how long the preheat?
8-10 min if you’re grilling on high
Awesome video as usual cj. Can’t wait to see more of this grill from you. I’m going to order one off your channel. Do you know how long it took to get to your house from order date? It really doesn’t say on their website
Hey thanks brother! I honestly don’t know. It was sent to me from Ninja, since I work with them as an ambassador.
Looked perfectly cooked for me CJ.
Thanks brother! Cheers
He seems so much happier grilling steaks than trying to cook a chicken in something never designed to cook a whole chicken lol.
Lol!
Looked
delicious, can really accommodate 2 big steaks. Were they cooked evenly looked like they were.
Yes it really can. They were cooked evenly. And turned out great.
Curious as to why you let it rest on top of the heating element instead of pulling them out and letting them rest on the cutting board. I think that is why they came out medium instead of medium rare.
I was trying to show off the feature. Normally wouldn’t have done that.
I get it. I really enjoyed your presentation. Those steaks looked fantastic! Wondering if, you were going to use the resting feature, you had set them to rare or the lighter medium rare setting, and then “rested” on the grill...if that would’ve made a difference.

Looks good for me!!! 🍷
Resting is normally off the heat...you would have gotten your medium rare!
Thanks. I agree, just trying show the testing feature. Normally would pull it.
if you push the probe all the way in it takes the temp in two different spots.
No not that I think.
@@CookingWithCJ lol Im not asking you bro, Im telling you. Look in the manual. The probe has two separate sensors, one on the tip one further in. Youre supposed to stick it all the way to the rubber.
Got it. Sorry, still hadn’t had my coffee yet. Thanks
H! Can you try a Cornish hen in the xl???
I’ll add it to the list.
Cool channel big dude. Just subd
Cheers! 👊🏻
@@CookingWithCJ im about to grill my first steak on that xl ninja.
@@83devildog Nice!
@@CookingWithCJ does it taste as good as a real grill?
@@83devildog compare it to a gas grill. No bbq flavor. But if it’s seasoned up right and cooked right, you’ll be happy.
Can you do some video for air fryer please?
I have a air fryer chicken wing video coming out soon.
Cooking With CJ Thank you.
Just got ours by some lady for like 80 bucks gonna cook some ribeyes tonight
Awesome!
@@CookingWithCJ they came out amazing perfect crisp it was to easy had friends over now they want one
I'm here bro 🔥
Thanks bro!
I hear the temp probe is much slower than the one on the original
I didn’t have the temp probe on the original. So I couldn’t tell ya. But I prefer to use my wireless thermometer when I cooking. Just used it on the video for demonstration. Thanks for watching.
That oil is killing you, melt some grass-fed butter and rub that shit in! Just found the channel, Great shows!!!
Appreciate it! Just gotta watch that high heat don’t want smoke issues. But ya hear ya! Thanks for watching
I cooked a Tomahawk Steak today on the Ninja Foodie Grill and it came out perfect! It damn near put me in a coma - sooooo good!
Love it! Very cool. Have a good one.
I have the basic foodie! Can you tell me how long to cook these on each side CJ? Love watching and learning!
they are meant to rest on a warm plate not the grill
Is there smoke? If not where does the smoke go.
No smoke, I don’t know the technology behind it, but it’s a smokeless grill.
Methinks you should have taken the meat out and let it rest on the cutting board. Resting while on the grill's what caused the over cook. That said, I'd have eaten it too!!!
Yeah, but I wanted to show the rest feature. Otherwise I always remove form the grill to rest.
@@CookingWithCJ I think the resting feature calls for removing the meat before letting it rest. That's why it says 'GET FOOD" before the resting counter starts.
Marry me 🙊
This guy is def played off lol
Hopefully that’s a good thing?
@@CookingWithCJ payed off! Lol
