The Ninja DG551 Foodi Smart XL is a 6-in-1 indoor grill that features an integrated smart thermometer to help monitor the internal temperature of proteins. It utilizes 500°F cyclonic air to sear and char food while maintaining a smoke-controlled environment. The XL capacity is designed to handle larger family portions, and the 2nd generation hinge mechanism includes a torsion spring to help the lid open and close smoothly.
The cooking grates are made of die-cast aluminum with a ceramic non-stick coating that is free from PTFE and PFOA. This material provides consistent heat across the surface with minimal variance. The unit also includes functions for air frying, roasting, baking, broiling, and dehydrating. To maintain the efficiency of the smoke control system, it is important to clean the removable splatter shield regularly.
Specifications indicate the unit requires 16 inches of vertical clearance to open the lid fully. The high-velocity fan creates a sound level around 65dB during air frying, which is a standard trade-off for the rapid cooking times. The dual-sensor probe provides high precision, reducing the need to cut into meat to check for doneness.
If you prefer a more traditional open-plate grill for Korean BBQ style dining, the Techwood 1500W 2-in-1 is a helpful choice.
