Ninja Blenders FAQs
How to grill indoors:
Ninja indoor grills are easy to use with simple touchscreen controls. Simply preheat the grill, add your food and select your desired cooking function, time and temperature. Every Ninja appliance comes with an instruction booklet and a dedicated recipe guide to help you get started quickly.
What is a griddle?
A griddle is a flat, smooth cooking surface that uses even, direct heat across the entire plate — making it ideal for foods that benefit from full contact with the surface, like pancakes, eggs, bacon, burgers, and hash.
Unlike a grill plate, which has raised ridges to create char marks, a griddle plate sits completely flat for maximum contact and consistent browning. The Ninja Sizzle™ Pro XL includes interchangeable griddle and grill plates, so you can switch between flat-top griddling and char-grill cooking depending on what you're making. The XL 20-inch griddle plate is large enough to cook up to 10 burgers or a full breakfast for 8–10 people, with edge-to-edge even heat and no hot spots.
Can you use the Grill and Air Fryer at the same time?
You can only use one cooking function at a time.
Are Ninja Indoor Grills easy to clean?
Most Ninja indoor grills have dishwasher safe parts and some models include a handy cleaning brush to make washing up easier.
What can you cook in a Ninja Countertop Grill?
Ninja countertop grills are very versatile and are available in a range of sizes, perfect for feeding 4+ people. You can find more food inspiration on the SharkNinja website in the recipes section.
Is a broiler the same as a grill?
A broiler cooks from above using radiant heat, typically found in a conventional oven. A grill cooks from below, using either an open flame outdoors or a heated plate or element on a countertop grill.
The practical difference is in the results: grilling gives you those distinctive char marks and a smoky flavour, while broiling tends to brown the surface. A Ninja countertop grill brings grill-style cooking indoors, giving you the sear and char of an outdoor grill without the need for an open flame.
Is grilling healthy?
You can often grill food without adding much (or any) oil, which can make it a mindful way to cook.
What can I cook on a countertop grill?
A countertop grill lets you enjoy all your authentic bbq favorites, using little to no oil.
