• Insert thermometer
horizontally into the
center of the thickest
part of the meat.
• Make sure the
thermometer is close to
(but not touching) the
bone and away from any
fat or gristle.
• Make sure the tip of the
thermometer is inserted
straight into the center
of the meat, not angled
toward the bottom or
top of it.
NOTE: The thickest
part of the fillet may
not be the center. It is
important that the end
of the thermometer hits
this area so that desired
results are achieved.
Whole chicken • Insert thermometer
horizontally into the
thickest part of the
breast, parallel to, but
not touching, the bone.
• Make sure the tip
reaches the center of
the thickest part of the
breast and doesn’t go
all the way through the
breast into the cavity.

USING THE THERMOMETER IN
DIFFERENT COOKING SCENARIOS:
Cooking 2 or more proteins of the same
size to dierent levels of doneness:
• Set the Preset feature to the highest
desired level of doneness.
• Insert the thermometer in the protein with
the higher desried level of doneness.
• After preheating, place proteins inside
the grill. When the lower desired level of
doneness is reached, remove the protein
without thermometer.
• Continue cooking the remaining protein
until the next desired level of doneness
is reached.
Cooking 2 or more proteins
of dierent sizes:
• Insert thermometer in the smaller protein
and use the Preset feature to choose the
level of doneness.
• When that protein is done cooking,
remove it from the unit.
• Using oven mitts, transfer thermometer
to the larger protein and use the arrows
to the left of the display to choose its
level of doneness.
Cooking 2 or more dierent types
of protein:
• Insert thermometer in the protein with
the lower desired level of doneness.
• Use the Manual feature to choose the
desired internal temperature.
• When that protein is done cooking,
remove it from the unit.
• Using oven mitts, transfer thermometer to
the other protein and use the Manual feature
to choose the desired internal temperature.
6 While the unit is preheating, insert
the thermometer horizontally into the
center of the thickest part of the piece
of protein. Refer to the chart on the
adjacent page on further thermometer
placement instructions.
7 When the unit has preheated and
“ADD FOOD” appears on the screen,
open the hood, place food with inserted
thermometer in the unit, and close the
hood over the thermometer cord.
8 The progress bar at the top of the
display will track doneness. Flashing
doneness indicates progression to
that doneness.
9 The unit will automatically stop when
desired doneness is almost reached, as
it accounts for carry-over cooking, and
“GET FOOD” will display on the screen.
10 Transfer the protein to a plate while “REST”
displays on the screen. Thermometer does
not need to still be inserted. The protein
will continue to carry-over cook to your
set doneness, which will take about
3–5 minutes. This is an important step, as
not resting could lead to results looking
“less” cooked. Carry-over cook times
can vary based on size of protein, cut
of protein, and type of protein.
USING THE NINJA® FOODI™ SMART XL GRILL – CONT.
NOTE: The thermometer will be HOT.
Use either oven mitts or tongs to take
the thermometer out of the protein.
HOW TO CORRECTLY INSERT THE THERMOMETER
NOTE: DO NOT use the thermometer with frozen protein or for cuts of meat thinner
than 1 inch.
Correct thermometer placement.
Thermometer grip is fully inside unit.
NOTE: To check the internal temperature
of other pieces of protein, press and hold
MANUAL and insert the thermometer
into each piece of meat.
