It’s Ninja’s integrated probe + doneness control. Insert the Foodi Smart Thermometer, select protein type and your preferred doneness, and the grill cooks to temp and alerts you when done—no guesswork.
Yes. AG551 can grill many proteins from frozen. The Smart Cook programs help manage time and temperature so you still get a seared exterior and juicy centre.
Yes. It’s countertop-friendly and engineered with a smoke control system. Use on a heat-resistant, level surface with good ventilation and follow the clearance guidance in the user manual.
A combination of a cool-air system, splatter shield, and controlled heat helps reduce smoke. For best results, pat proteins dry, trim excess fat, and keep the splatter shield clean.
Yes. The unit automatically preheats for grilling. Wait for the “Add Food” prompt—this ensures proper sear and even cooking.

Steaks, chicken, seafood, burgers, kebabs, veggies, sandwiches, and air-fried sides. The Roast/Bake functions are great for tray bakes and one-pan meals; Dehydrate handles snacks like fruit chips.
Yes. Use Bake for cakes, breads, and pastries; Roast for proteins and vegetables. Preheat when prompted and use appropriate bakeware that fits safely inside.
Much less than deep frying. Lightly coat ingredients with a small amount of oil for crisp results; shake or toss halfway through cooking.
You may use foil or parchment to help with cleanup; keep it below the heating element, don’t block airflow, and avoid overhangs that touch the element.
The grill grate, crisper basket, cooking pot, and splatter shield are typically dishwasher-safe (top rack recommended). Wipe the main unit with a damp cloth only.
Degrease the grill grate and splatter shield after each cook; empty and wipe the cooking pot. Built-up oils can cause smoke on future uses.
Use silicone, nylon, or wooden tools to protect the non-stick coatings and extend accessory life.
On a stable, heat-resistant surface with ventilation. Leave clearance around
and above the unit and keep it away from walls or low cabinets while in use.
Not recommended. The grill is a high-wattage appliance—plug directly into a
suitable wall socket.
AG551 does not have a dedicated child-lock. Keep cords out of reach and supervise use.
