To use the grill function on a Ninja toaster and grill appliance, you simply flip the unit to transform it from its vertical toaster orientation to a horizontal grilling position. This versatile design allows a single appliance to serve dual purposes, making it efficient for various cooking needs.
Transforming Your Appliance for Grilling
The unique feature of this appliance is its ability to switch between two primary modes through a simple physical adjustment:
- From Toaster Mode: When positioned upright, the appliance functions as a traditional vertical slot toaster, perfect for inserting slices of bread, bagels, or crumpets.
- To Grill Mode: To engage the grill function, you flip the unit down horizontally. This transformation reveals a flat, heated surface, ready for grilling, baking, and other cooking methods.
Once transformed into the horizontal grill mode, it becomes a versatile cooking station where you can:
- Grill a variety of foods, such as sandwiches, vegetables, or small cuts of meat.
- Bake items that benefit from horizontal heat.
- Heat or warm up different dishes.
Understanding Both Appliance Modes
This innovative appliance offers a comprehensive solution for diverse culinary tasks, providing convenience and saving counter space.
| Mode | Orientation | Primary Function | Key Features |

| Toaster | Vertical Slots | Toasting bread, bagels, etc. | Ideal for bread, bagels, crumpets; offers 7 shade settings for perfect results |
| Grill | Horizontal Deck | Grilling, baking, heating | Versatile cooking surface for a wide range of foods |
Optimizing Your Grilling Experience
When utilizing the grill mode, ensure your food is spread evenly across the horizontal cooking surface for consistent results. For specific cooking temperatures or recommended times for various foods, it is always best to consult the appliance's user manual. This dual functionality allows you to expand your cooking capabilities without the need for multiple separate kitchen gadgets.
