Omg, I am in love with this thing! I’ve used it almost daily since I got it. I’ve bought many “miracle” appliances in the past but none ever lived up to the hype and were quickly forgotten. I moved from a house where I grilled or used a cast iron grill pan on a gas stove almost daily. Now I have a glass top stove and can’t use cast iron and no grills allowed in the balcony. So far, I’ve used it for grilling steak, chicken, fish, and veggies and air frying potatoes, frozen fries, and frozen chicken strips and everything has turned out flavorful, moist, and cookbook-picture perfect. Honestly, the thermometer makes sure it’s perfect and the food turns out even better than my beloved grill (don’t tell Weber!). It almost feels like cheating somehow. The smoke alarm has gone off a couple of times, but only when I have the lid open and it’s stopped quickly. In a small apt practically everything sets off the alarm so I’m actually pretty impressed that it has only rarely activated it. I’m excited to try the other functions, like roasting and dehydrating. The grill, air fryer basket, and drip pan/roasting pan are very well made and dishwasher safe. They have been a total breeze to clean, which makes it even easier to use frequently. Bottom line: it’s not cheap, but absolutely worth every penny. Especially if you like grilled and air fried food, those functions alone make it absolutely with the cost and counter space. I’m not usually one to take pics of my food but I did take one of a cedar planked salmon and grilled Mexican street corn made on the ninja grill. Both were perfect with practically no effort and steaks and chicken were just as beautiful.

An Essential Kitchen Upgrade – Highly Recommended! I have had an incredibly positive experience with this appliance—it has truly transformed my cooking routine! Whether it's achieving perfectly crisp toast, juicy steaks, flavorful chicken, or delicious pizza with a variety of toppings, this device excels in versatility and ease of use. The double-stack feature is a game-changer, allowing me to completely replace my oven while saving time and energy. Plus, the convenience of disposable paper molds makes cleanup effortless, making it an even more appealing choice. If you're considering purchasing one, I strongly recommend opting for the larger size to maximize functionality. This appliance seamlessly combines efficiency, simplicity, and outstanding performance—an absolute must-have for any kitchen!

It is advertised as a pan that you can use with metal utensils and it resists scratches. Well unfortunately only after one time using metal tongs and not in an abusive way at all - it got so many scratches. Not recommended
