In this video I show how to deep clean your Ninja Foodi Grill. This is a video on how to clean your ninja foodi grill with just a few typical household items such as vinegar, baking soda, a toothbrush, and a sponge. I would suggest deep cleaning your Ninja Foodi Grill once a month or even once every other month if used regularly.

Hi everyone, I want to apologize for not unplugging my appliance before cleaning. I should have unplugged before cleaning. PLEASE ALWAYS UNPLUG YOUR APPLIANCE BEFORE CLEANING. I hope this video was useful otherwise, and I appreciate Debbie bringing it to my attention.
Would you put this up front so it's the first thing seen... and highlight.... p l e a s e... thank you.
@@vitazgal9933 Great idea :) I just pinned the post to the top of the comments. Thank you for the suggestion.
wow...it's right up there now..in just minutes...thank you! should I delete the plea
to put it there? I didn't want to be critical..just felt it needed to be first thing seen :)
thank you for caring enough to do that!!! :)
@@NightTimeMommyReviews You are very conscientious my dear...kudos to YOU!
thanks again..
@@vitazgal9933 No, no worries. Its a great reminder to everyone. I still cant believe I did that haha. I believe the comments area is a great area to share and collaborate with one another. Thank you, i truly do appreciate it.
You can easily drop and remove the outer "aluminum cage" that protects the heating coil. There are 3 screws + 1 captive screw that holds the element (just loosen that one). A shorty screw driver will be needed to get at the lower screw and magnetic tips really help. Then you can easily get at everything and use Bar Keepers Friend as a cleaner, and flush with fresh water.
This video is much better and thorough than what Ninja posted on their youtube! Well done :)
I would suggest placing an old towel over the bottom part to catch all the drips, etc. Might save you some time and prevent a mess on your counter.
I really like this grill. It cooks different meats perfectly and make it so easy to make stuff like steaks, grilled pork chops, air fryer wings, etc.....BUT cleaning it is one big pain in the butt and you can never thoroughly clean it (unless you take it apart). Every time I cook on it, heck, even when it's warming up, it starts smoking cause grease and grime is all inside of the hood and by the vents. For now, I think I will just use it outside and try to clean it as much as possible but the constant grime build up and smoking is really irritating for an inside grill that cooks so well.
It's 2024 and this is still the most helpful video on youtube regarding cleaning the thing thank you SO much! ✨
Just did my 1st deep clean after using for almost 3.5 years.. Yuk.. Everything came really clean. I purchased a new bottom pot (Online), grill and splatter shield (Amazon). All 3 of mine were way past cleanable.. Amazing.. just like new! Thanks.
Thank you! This was helpful! I recommend you unplug yours next time before cleaning.
Yes, please unplug the device before cleaning. This was a rookie mistake when filming haha
This is amazing! My Ninja Is like brand new again. This natural cleaning is differently the way to go. Thanks for sharing!
You did a good job dear... I used mine five times and gave up as I could not clean behind that element... also the edges are so sharp I cut myself trying to clean that lid... I put it away and feel I wasted $300.00 on buying the Ninja Foodie Grill... waste of money and too hard to clean... I went back to my wonderful Cosori Air Fryer... works just as well and takes up less space and is so easy to clean...takes two minutes after each use and I use it two or three times per day for my steaks... I only eat steaks on my Carnivore diet.
I do carnivore also and cook steak everyday. Is your air fryer the type that has the baskets? You don't have any trouble with smoking from grease getting up near the motor area and fan?
@@petrawitty5575 I have two units. The Ninja Foodie grill is terrible for smoking so I don't use that one anymore. I wasted my money on that one and only used it about 5 times. I use a Cosori air fryer, and it is fabulous and has never smoked at all in two years of use every day usually twice per day.
I love that you use vinegar and baking soda to clean!
Thank you Dee :)
I clean my grill every time I use it.
I use a scrubbie and washcloth 👍
Thats great. With all appliances, cleaning after every use is perfect for maintaining your device. Thanks for watching :)
Thanks for this but your appliance didn't seem to have the type of goop that mine has developed. LOL. I clean it every night but the other night I flashed a flashlight on the appliance and was horrified to see the grime that had built up. I will try this but i have a feeling I need something else.
I did this.came up really well.cleaned everything with fresh water after. Wife came home from work as was not happy. Says she can still taste grease on her toothbrush.
your ninja grill looks almost like new compared to mine. It will take me a while to clean mine but I will use your cleaning methods. Thank you
I clean mine in the dishwasher and it works well. I had trouble cleaning until I chanced the angle on the top lid by sitting it like an open book. It was unplugged and moved to the island where I had more room. Mine has only been used about four times, it’s only a week old. I figured to get going on this so it doesn’t get too bad.
I appreciate your beginner videos. Trying to get the probe inserted correctly so my steaks do not get overcooked. Husband likes it pretty rare. One issue I have is getting the butcher to cut my steaks at least 1 1/2” thick. I believe I’ll ask for a 2” steak and I might get closer to what I want.
I forgot to say I have the Xl ninja grill thus the angle issue for cleaning
Stumbled here -and I hit Like--and I Subbed !!!
Great video !!
Thank you :)
One person did put 1 cup vinagre and 1 cup baking soda in a pot of hot boiling water. Let it sit for 20-30 minutes then rinse.
Place the splatter in hot water in a big pan gets really clean
A steam cleaner might work for those hard to reach areas.
You are very thorough. Thank you.
Anytime :) Thank you for watching
It’s hard to clean further in the back behind the metal part. I cleaned around the inside edge but noticed it’s pretty grimy back further in. Not sure how to clean that area. 🤷🏻♀️
Make sure you unplug it first safety always comes first I like the toothbrush idea, and I buy a steel pad From Amway it’s amazing and no I’m not an Amway dealer but I’ve use this for years to clean my iron it’s so gentle you can rub it over nylons and it doesn’t rip them up
Just saw this video..Now that its a while ago..I have heard somebody uses a handheld steamer to get the grease off. Havent tried it yet but no chemicals🙂
good video on how to clean the foodi grill. Cleaning the grill and basket and the splash guard is not problem. ***** Question: how do you clean that upper vent area??? grease does also accumulate on that vent area above the coils..... over time.... It is so difficult to clean it now; there is a brown film of grease grime that a toothbrush can not squeeze up there to clean the vent area. I have only cooked in that grill for 5 times in month of December. My friend suggested a metal brush at Home Depot ; its a bristle brush, skinny and I will have to try; its metal bristles, and that maybe dangerous if small bristle hair are left, maybe no different on a bbq grill outside - any suggestions? I can not unscrew the element bolts as it will void the warranty ( i recently bought on black friday); I like this grill but the DOWNSIDE is the nasty cleaning above and around the metal frame elements around the coils. urgh!!! I wish the engineers would have thought of a better way of dismantling and cleaning this appliance. .. eventually grease grime builds up on the vent area and a fire can ignite. .. as my friend told me over xmas time while serving dinner... Thanks for reply...
Hi Manjeet, I am currently trying to figure that as well. I am a little hesitant to use a brush above that area for the reason due to the air fryer fan. Anything can make it go off balance, and I believe that can void the warranty as well, but I am not sure. I feel your frustration tho, I too see that the splatter guard doesn't really prevent anything from entering. I am currently awaiting a commercial grease cleaner spray to arrive in the mail. Once I receive it I will test it, and let you know if it works.
I am not sure either myself... that is a PROBLEM now.. i notice about this foodi grill ; i called their number shark/ninja reps in that booklet- trouble shooting- but they KNOW NOTHING.. all they said was use the black brush that came in the box. That was not a good answer; the black brush only cleans the grill and splatter guard and the basket; the black brush can not fit in between the coil and metal vented area (the lid area!). take a close look at your vent area? is it dark brown grease grime building up already (circular grease patterns, and builds around the venting wheel well areas...?). mine is dark already and I may have to take it back to the store (its within 90 days and replace it) but that wont do any good to solve problem.. because a new foodi grill will just build up grease again in the venting areas - and problem to try cleaning again! I think the answer is using a long bristle brush - hard nylon or if you want to try a metal bristle brush elongated - that could be risky when the metal fibres break off and land in the appliance area while cooking.. - not safe- just like scrubbing your bbq grill outside with a metal bristle scrapper that leaves fibres microscopically in between the metal grill slots - dangerous when grilling your next meats.. thanks.. for reply....
@@ManjeetSingh-xf8zp I agree, I do not believe the black brush is an good solution for the problem either. However I am noticing this to be a trend with all air fryers. I tried looking up a method for cleaning the air fryer fan, and no one has a good enough solution to effectively clean the area. Thank you for watching, and I will keep reply as soon as I have some sort of solution.
@@NightTimeMommyReviews could you put water, lemon juice and/or vinegar in the liner pan heat to boiling then turn off and close the lid for 15 minutes (unplug the machine at this point too). The steam, lemon and/or vinegar will help dislodge/clean the residue. I know this can be done with the Ninja Foodi tendercrisp machine that is also a pressure cooker. I do not own the grill yet, but came across your video. I wish the manufacturer will create a model where the heat element is removable (like on an electric range/stove top). That way we could clean underneath the element too. The grill looks like it is easier to access and clean than the Foodi Tendercrisp.
@@KreatesKards I could not agree more! They need to make it easier to clean the product. They do make it possible to reach the heating element with the screws around the fan, but then they make a disclaimer in the manual that if we remove them to reach the heating element we are voiding our warranty. Its sad that we cant even clean the product efficiently without risking voiding our warranty. I will try the method you suggest! Thank you so much for watching, and commenting.
I got a replacement grill due to when it preheats and nothing is in the grill, the smoke detector will go off and it was smoking. Now after this one for only a month, it's doing the same thing but not emitting smoke yet. How do I clean the burner area where it first starts. Mine is starting to get some look of burn Mark's on it but it wont come off.
I just subscribed. This was good info. Thanks
Thank you so much, and thank you for watching :)
Thank you for the video, on this matters the company drop the ball, if not for this Ninja foodie could be perfect.
Now, did you try oxiclean, I did not yet. Someone try to take a part the upper side?
I got a question if my ninja indoor grill product has been greasy for a long time is it best I get rid of it?
Hi Sam. I just found a website that sells a new bottom pot-basket and also a new grill & splatter shield on Amazon. I threw out the old greasy .. in with the new. After doing a deep clean inside-outside.. . Really.. just like new.
Does it matter if you use cleaning vinegar or regular kind?
My fan area looks dirty or burnt. How do you clean the fan.
Did you ever have grease leak from the back due to the splatter?, I clean it after every use....
Every so often I do get grease in the grease collector at the back but I wipe after every use. Depending on the meat and the fat content of the meat, it could produce grease that is hard to clean after that use. I clean after each use, but deep clean once a month. Thanks for watching :)
Ok, first I loved the video. Now I may be a bit odd but is the grease pan removable from the back of this foodi? or does grease just collect in the groove at the back?
I have the same question. The "user´s guide" doesn´t say anything about it :(
Good Job! 👏👍♥️
Thank you, I appreciate it :)
What about cleaning the back?
Is using Lysol spray to clean it a bad idea.
How do you keep the fan clean?
This has talked me out of buying one. i was all set to hit the order button on amazon. I'll stick to a grill pan on the stove...
Don't give up on it. If you clean after each use it won't get too much build up. I just purchased the large grill for my DIL and it has a more open space that should make cleaning easier.
THANK YOU! I purchased a grill for my Mom and when I go over there she seems to think she doesn't need to clean it. Splatter shield and appliances yes, everything else no. SMH
Thank you!!!
How often do have to go threw this cleaning in inside grill in lid looks like a pain to me
I do this every so often. I bake and air fry less fatty things in my grill so it I don't find that I have a lot of build up. If you are regularly air frying or grilling meats I would say it would need to be more often to prevent the grill from smoking. Users have reported using easy off but personally I am not a big fan of the chemicals so I use this method.
I have to clean mine about every 2 months. It is well worth the effort and will help prolong the use of your appliance.
The electric wall plug arrangement……. BAD IDEA ….. get someone to remove and flip the electric outlet …..it’s upside down
That looks brand new compared to mine this video is not helpful my grease and grime is baked on everywhere the screen is completely black and clogged and the airfare basket has baked on Grease
Yes
For the screen, I just use degreaser form the dollar store. Works like a chram 😉
Ahhhh I am going to have to try that out. Did you use the oven degreaser spray? or was their a particular one? I love the dollar store :) Thank you for the suggestion :)
Yea i used the ajax degreaser dish soap and water and let the splatter shield soak for a day or 2,then take an sos pad and for any caked on splatter(being a bit gentle).no scratches so far
I needed to use this ideal I can't stand a nasty smelling on my grilling machine 🤑
Like bro, new sub.
Thanks
That area gets really grimly! Unfortunately, there is no way to PROPERLY clean it! The parts/components don't come apart!
Hit the buddin.
Safety first..... unplug the grill before deep cleaning
You do have it unplugged I hope?😵⚡️⚡️
Huge Fail on my part. Sorry about that. I am glad nothing happened, and will make sure that never happens again.
Night Time Mommy Reviews don’t apologize, just glad you are okay. Good video, good job! 👍🏾👍🏾
@@BIGJ-kb3vc Thank you. I appreciate it :)
Am submitting your page I know how u feel a night time job I'm a single mom as well my son was 3 week old I went back to work because I needed to keep my job I have work the same places for 30 year I started to work with the company is like family and friends plants I was a packer and started work my way up and I was a machine operator to running the line because they need me to get this job for to raise my mom and dad and son they need my income support them and I told them that they can't have my child care income
shouldnt you unplug it first?
Probably should have unplugged that electrical hazard first ma’am
People need to stop using toxic cleaners on your appliances. That gets into your system
Please unplug next time, it's dangerous!
I just put the whole thing in the Dishwasher…joke
Yes
