Removable
Cooking Pot
Must always be installed
when unit is in use. Cook
directly in the pot when
roasting or baking.
Crisper Basket
Use in the cooking pot for
best air crisping results.
Tips & Tricks
Prevent oxidation
Fruits like apples and pears
brown quickly when cut.
To prevent oxidation, soak
them in water with a squeeze
of lemon juice for 5 minutes.
Pasteurize jerky
Finish off dehydrated meats
and fish by using the Roast
function at 330°F for 1 minute.
Trim the fat
Before dehydrating meat,
make sure to trim off all fat,
as it does not dry out
and could spoil.
Don’t overcrowd
Evenly arrange and space
out ingredients to ensure
consistent browning.
Shake, shake, shake
When air fry crisping, check
food and shake crisper basket
frequently for even browning.
Remove food at desired
level of brownness.
Batch cooking
Empty the fat/oil from the
bottom of the pot if batch
cooking more than twice.
For best results, allow the
unit to run for three minutes
between batches to reheat
the grill grate.
Grill Grate
Use in the cooking pot for
best grilling results.
Splatter Shield
Must always be installed
when unit is use.

The oil matters
For less smoke,
we recommend using oils
with a high smoke point—
like canola, coconut, avocado,
vegetable, or grapeseed oil—
instead of olive oil.
Don’t overcrowd
Evenly arrange and space out
ingredients in a single layer
to ensure consistent browning
and even charring.

Grill Grate
Unique design promotes optimal airflow

Want juicier meat?
After grilling, remove meat and let rest
at least 5 minutes before cutting it.

Bake/Roast
Convert traditional recipes
Use the Bake or Roast
function to prepare foods
typically cooked in the oven.
Reduce the temperature by
25°F. Check food often
to avoid overcooking.
-25 °F
Check your food temp
The Foodi Grill cooks quickly,
so monitor doneness with
a food thermometer. Internal
food temperature continues
to rise as food rests, so
remove it 5°F before target
temperature is reached.
Use oil for crispiness
For best results with fresh
vegetables, use an even,
light coating of canola oil.
Secure your food
Secure light food with
toothpicks so it won’t be
blown around by the fan.
