Setup Basics:

• Use GrillGrates at various levels in your Ninja depending on the rack or accessories you have.
• CAUTION: do not use too high in your Foodi, we suggest the rails be a minimum of 1.75″ below the top of the cooking pot
• This will keep food from coming in contact with the bottom of the heat shield
• Use the reversible rack on low setting with handles up for lowest setting
• To achieve higher settings in the cooking pot:
• Use Cook & Crisp Layered Insert on top of the detachable diffuser
• Use Dehydrating Rack on 2nd or 3rd or top shelf
• Use Stackable Egg Steamer with handles also on multiple settings
• Use Broil setting, food is grilled both from the top and from below the GrillGrates – an ideal way to grill steaks, chops, chicken, and more
• Experiment with air-crisp setting too on fish, chicken, etc.
• Flip GrillGrates over to grill smashburgers, scallops, and stir fry
• Use canola oil, Duck Fat Spray, or Grate Wipes to season for the first few uses
