The Ninja GR101 is a versatile 14-inch indoor grill and griddle designed to reach temperatures up to 500°F. This high temperature allows for searing steaks and burgers more effectively than many standard indoor units. The cooking surface is a die-cast aluminum plate with a non-stick coating, and the heating system uses an integrated tubular design for direct-contact efficiency.
Specifications indicate the unit is lightweight and portable, though it requires a high-wattage power source to maintain its peak 500°F setting. The base uses high-heat polymers and brushed stainless steel accents. Users should be aware that high-heat cycling can cause the non-stick surface to expand and contract, so using non-metal utensils is essential to prevent micro-fissures in the coating.
Cleaning the plate in the dishwasher is possible, but hand-washing is suggested to prevent the exposed aluminum underside from oxidizing over time. The analog-digital hybrid interface is designed to be intuitive, though it is best to keep it clear of grease buildup to ensure long-term responsiveness. The power cord is short to satisfy safety standards for high-wattage appliances.
If you require a model that also includes advanced air frying and dehydration features, the Ninja Foodi Smart XL offers more functionality.
This high-heat unit is a powerful addition to any kitchen and is found in our indoor smokeless grills department.
