I have the real secret. I’ve done this as long as I’ve had mine. After each use I soak the grill parts I use in hot water with Dawn. I soak the mesh filter the same after each use. I clean every inside chrome part with hot water and Dawn, rinsing well, drying. My foodie grill XL looks like new. Even the burner areas . To me this is the real secret. But if folks don’t do this then your ideas are great TY

[jeffhenjes]

The bottom line, great working machine, horrible engineering. Ninja WANTS these to get cruddy and dirty so they fail and you buy another one for $200 and toss this into a landfill. They should have a snap in/out shell for the top section. I bought a pair of the OXO kitchen brushes that work really well getting into tight crevices. All in all, I like my Ninja XL but will never buy another one, there just isn't enough long term thought in the design, this is a use it up and replace appliance.

[nancyschisler]

Thank you for speaking about bar keepers friend. I wish ninja would make a grill where you can take the lid off and pull out the fan to clean the top out.

You could also use baking soda with a splash of distilled vinegar... like the barkeepers friend and water but it won't create toxic fumes when it gets in heating elements the next time you fire it up. Beware, unless you can really rinse BF off thoroughly, it will stick to parts you miss on under side and create fumes on your food...

I’ve got some crud stuck on my grill plate I use it mostly for steaks that are seasoned with rub the dish washer doesn’t seem to be able to get it off any suggestions?

[Philipk]

lol that's clean in comparison to my hood. The hood on mine is black. What I have found is that if you keep the filter and the inner surround clean you don't have any problems with smoke or smells.

[Beth_tx]

Wow. Nice job. Your video put this device under consideration again. For my needs, I’m really attracted to the square footage of surface and the grill and air fry options.

[dizziechef]

I would like to see your mesh filter after it comes out of the dish washer. I’m wondering if it stays dark or does it shine up. I’m not sure what kind of metal it is but I have a strainer that used to be shiny like that then over use turned dark. I love my foodie grill Xl so much. I’ll prob buy another one. I like having two of everything. ( OCD ) I love everything Ninja is putting out lately. I have the blender, processor, pressure cooker with air fryer lid. You name it. I love kitchen appliances and I use them. I have the nuwave counter oven, grill, airfryer etc etc. I use it a lot also. But I don’t see a lot of demos on it. Question: Can the coil come out ?

[IsAllAboutHealth]

Thanks for your video. I am looking for something easy to clean. I am not sure I am getting this one.

[Mimi]

I had to take apart the hood because I want to clean the hidden area at the burner, and now it is impossible to put it back. The burner is not easy to take out you have to destroy the wire that are connected to it. Poor design ninja foodie grill should not put nuts behind the screws because it is impossible to put it back.

[HappyBeeTV-BeeHappy]

Great job! I never thought of mixing bar keepers with a little water! 👍

[SlackerWannaB]

My dishwasher doesn’t touch baked on food on the grill.

[kyrieannmichellebacomo]

Hello, sorry to ask. What is the white paste did you use? Thank you so much, hope you can answer me.

[valerietromble]

I use oven cleaner for the inside it works great

[DarkstarDarth]

Foil paper under the drip pan my people.

[westaus]

Imagine what the slide in/out draw type look like, but unlike this unit, no one see's it. Out of sight, out of eeewww

[averyvaliant]

I haven't cleaned my grill in ages....it's disgusting haha, but every method seems to take an awful long time
I often wonder, couldn't a small pressure washer be used on it (outside of course) to blast off the fat and such?
I hate the fact they make the fan area so sharp and jagged.

[SteveO]

Question i used bar keeper...however i rinsed a few times just worried i didnt get it all off..what do you suggested

[joshwood]

You should take your 10-year warranty sticker off your LG dishwasher

[MorrisonFamily-ry]

Any advice .. When I open the lid the Ninja grill no longer stops.. keeps running. I have always cleaned my grill after each use. Really bummed because this is my go to for cooking.
