Ninja Griddle and Indoor Grill, 14’’, Electric Grill, For Steak, Burgers, Salmon, Veggies, and More, Pancake Griddle, Nonstick, Dishwasher Safe, 500F, Even Cooking, Silver, GR101

Quality construction, rugged heating element. No provision for no smoke, but it doesn’t make much. Wonderful winter grilled steaks and pork chops. Cleans up easily in the dishwasher. Hard to clean the ribbed plate by hand. The cover keeps all of the splatter down and not all over everything. The cover comes off so easy and works so well.

This is a great grill. However, some have said it’s smokeless, it is not. I wish people would give honest reviews, the point of reviews is so that people can decide what will be best. This heats up quickly and sears just like a gas grill. I grilled burgers and they were perfectly cooked. The cleanup was very easy.

Ill start off by saying this product definitely isn't for everyone. There are better grills you can get if you can cook outside, and their are cheaper griddle options you can get from stove top pans to electric griddles you should consider. However, I wanted this product from other competitors as it fits my case for where i find it to be really useful. I have an electric stovetop, which traditionally when I cook on doesn't distribute heat evenly, so getting a stovetop griddle was out of the conversation for me, as well as a stovetop grill. Stovetop grills are also really difficult to clean - there is a reason people tend to give these away to others after using it for a bit. I also live in a rental, and although I probably can cook on my porch, there are a looooot of bugs outside. To the point where I'm having issues keeping my screen window open to get in airflow into my house as I get nats coming in everyday dying to my bug zappers. I also generally don't know the HSA rules for my property since I'm just renting the spot, so I try to avoid doing things that may be an issue on that front. The other products that I was looking at (which I think was the hamilton beach) was cheaper, but didn't reach the temperature this one provided. This unit is also much easier to clean in comparison, as you can take off all components from the pans to the smoke cover to wash them. Firstly, this is not a smokeless product. This will reduce smoke that your food may produce, but don't purchase this and believe that your food won't create steam. Physically that is not possible, as the water leaving your food has to travel somewhere in some form, but the top of the vent gives you a way to dissipate the smoke to those vents to reduce what comes out overall. I've cooked on both the griddle and the grill, and haven't had issues with either. You will need to wait 7 minutes before operating on the product, but once thats gone, the temperature is consistent across the entire pan. The compact size allows me to cook what I want to cook and put it away in a pantry, as this isn't a product that I want out all the time. The product does seem to make some noise while operating, not really sure what this is from, but I'm assuming the pieces get rigid when their cooled off, and expand while in use which causes the unit to make noise from the expansion. Overall, I don't think this is for everyone but I think this is a solid grill for my use case and for my particular lifestyle, as I needed a product that is easy to clean, easy to store, cooks food evenly across the whole board, reduces smoke as much as possible (as I live in an apartment that has bad airflow without an AC. The window next to the window doesn't even have a screen on it), and I could mimic when I want a reduced down version of what gets cooked on traditional grills that do reach the temperatures this unit provides. I live single, so in terms of a family I don't think this would be a good unit as the plates in general are really compact, so you may need to spend more time to serve in those cases.

I've became a big fan of the Ninja Sizzle Griddle and Indoor Grill, model GR101, very fast, and I can confidently say it's a game-changer for indoor cooking. This 14'' electric grill, with its versatile design, makes it possible to enjoy grilled meals year-round any time with results that rival my summertime outdoor grill surprisingly. Performance: The steak and hamburgers I've cooked on this Ninja Sizzle have turned out remarkably well, with beautiful char marks and juicy interiors - just like you'd get on an outdoor grill. The 500°F max heat allows for that perfect sear, and the edge-to-edge cooking ensures there are no cold spots, delivering even cooking across the entire plate. Whether it's steak, burgers, or salmon, the flavors are locked in, and the textures are spot-on. Versatility: The ability to switch between grilling and griddling with the interchangeable plates is fantastic. I've made everything from pancakes for breakfast to fajita veggies for dinner, all with the convenience of indoor cooking. The griddle plate is perfect for those mornings when you crave a stack of pancakes, and the non-stick surface makes cooking eggs or bacon a breeze. Ease of Use: It's incredibly straightforward to operate with no complicated settings. The smokeless design is a lifesaver, especially in apartments or smaller homes where smoke can be an issue. I've grilled without setting off any smoke alarms, which is a testament to its low-smoke technology. Clean Up: One of my favorite features is how easy it is to clean. The grill/ griddle and top lid are dishwasher-safe components means you can spend more time enjoying my meal and less time cleaning up if need to, But I usually hand wash the parts they clean easy in the sink. The non-stick coating prevents food from sticking, which simplifies the post-cooking cleanup even further. Design: The silver finish looks modern and fits well with any kitchen decor. The size is just right for family meals or small gatherings, accommodating up to six burgers or a few steaks or serval pancakes at once. My only note would be that, like any electric grill, you need to ensure your outlet can handle the 1800W power draw, but this is a minor consideration given the overall performance. In summary, the Ninja Sizzle GR101 has brought the joy of grilling indoors with results that are surprisingly similar to my outdoor summer grilling. If you're looking to grill without waiting for warm weather or want a versatile kitchen appliance, this is definitely worth the investment. Highly recommended for anyone who loves grilled food but wants the ease and convenience of indoor cooking. And even if some things burn onto the surface if you are not carful it is easy to clean with dawn soap and a non abrasive scrubber. I've used a few different ones on mine dozens of times to get the cleaning done fast and it doesn't scratch the surface of the grill or griddle palates.

Great indoor grill overall! Heats up fast and cooks food evenly. The 14” size is perfect and it’s easy to clean. Only reason I gave 4 stars is I wish the cord was a little longer / or it had slightly more temperature control, but still a really good buy and I use it often.

This was ordered on a whim as I need to have a healthier way of cooking/grilling, without having to freeze outside in the winter. So far it is AWESOME! I've done smash burgers on the flat grill and Chicken on the grill plate. Both were outstanding! Quick cook time. Great taste. Easy to use AND clean! Small and manageable, without being too small.

So VERY glad I got this. Excellent design and well thought out! It exceeds my expectations and I love it. Heats up fast! Cooks fast! Heats up evenly! Lightweight! Great working surfaces - with both a griddle & grill! Cleans up easily and goes into dishwasher - even the lift off lid! The temp knob right next to visual clues for cooking various things! I really appreciate the lid covering it. It keeps it clean and while cooking it can raise the temp for melting cheese but let steam out. So well designed it's a joy to use. And Only 1 thing to clean instead of several frying pans! My only regret is I didn't get it sooner. (I am so glad I didn't get the big cast-iron ones from China that take 20 minutes to heat up & are nightmare to clean.) This is on my "Best Gift" list.

I'm comparing this grill against the Hamilton Beach Searing Grill https://www.amazon.com/Hamilton-Beach-25361-Removable-Stainless/dp/B00KLVY3TW/ref=mp_s_a_1_1_sspa?crid=10I0LLUIICUYZ&keywords=hamilton+beach+grill&qid=1700351862&sprefix=hamilton+beach+grill%2Caps%2C102&sr=8-1-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9waG9uZV9zZWFyY2hfYXRm&psc=1. I had the HB for 3 years, but the dial recently broke and I couldn't control the temp anymore. I loved the HB and planned on buying the same one again, but I am also a big Ninja fan, and came across this grill, so I thought I'd try it out. HB: About $70 Ninja: About $120 HB: low profile, which I loved Ninja: extremely low profile, which is even better HB: removable, windowed, covered lid Ninja: removable, vented lid HB: temperature dial goes up to 450F, light indicates when temperature is reached Ninja: temperature dial up to 500F, light indicates power only HB: open grates, allowing grease to drain into pan below, which I lined with aluminum foil to easily dispose Ninja: closed "grate", most of the grease drains to a ditch at the front of the grill. HB: I put the lid and the grate into the dishwasher and it held up great. The grate was tougher to clean and did require a soft brush to scrub stuck, cooked-on food. The grease pan is large, removes, and is very easy to clean. I stuck in the dishwasher. Grease splatters on the insides walls of the frame and needs to be cleaned by hand. It's hard to get it all. Ninja: lid has lots of little vent holes. It seemed to clean by hand ok, but is also dishwasher safe, which is good. Grate has a very smooth surface, making it easy to wipe down. I don't think you are supposed to put it in the dishwasher to protect the nonstick, but I probably will at some point. It doesn't look like it will easily flake. The grate and the grease catcher are all one piece. The benefit to this is that all the splatters are contained, keeping the base pretty unscathed from splatters HB: one grill plate Ninja: the GR101 model includes a second interchangeable griddle plate. The grate size is about the same for both grills, but I feel like the heating elements cover more surface area on the Ninja. The heating element is enclosed on the bottom of the grate on the HB, and if I recall circles the periphery. The Ninja has heat elements that completely covers the bottom and exposes more of the grill to heat. Both easily fit 4 large hamburgers on the grill. I'm on the fence about the Ninja lid. That's going to take time to determine if a vented lid is problematic, or works as well as a fully covered lid. Ninja Pros: ~i like that it has both a griddle and a grill plate. For me that is a space saver. ~The Ninja potentially gets hotter for quicker sear. ~The Ninja cleans up more completely ~The very low profile. I like to be able to put it away easily, and I like that it doesn't take up all the counter space when I'm cooking ~cooks food really well and has great grill marks ~solid and well made HP pros ~the open grate really does a better job of draining the grease off your food (i.e. hamburgers) ~less expensive ~full lid coverage with viewing window ~easy to handle and clean Ninja cons ~honestly, I'm really surprised Ninja didn't include the feature for the indicator light to cycle on and off when the grate temperature is reached. The instructions are to heat for 7 minutes, and, i guess assume it's hot enough. I think this was a poor design decision. It's not a huge deal to add, but a really beneficial feature to have. It's what clued me in that my HB was broken. ~I'm on the fence about the closed grate. It definitely makes cleaning easier and more thorough, but I do think I prefer the grease to drain. Maybe after I've used it for more than just hamburger, I'll adjust my opinion. I'm thinking about grilling asparagus, which would benefit from not having all the butter or oil drain off. Might be easier to grill salmon too. Hot dogs wouldn't matter. I don't believe it would matter for grilled chicken or a filet. I'll have to try that too. All in all, I'm really happy with the Ninja, and would recommend it to anyone. It's well made and does what I want it to do, and then some. It stores easily and cleans easily. It cooks great. No major complaints, except for the light. I'm looking forward to making more meals and also trying out the griddle. And I would definitely recommend.
