Perfectly done with
the Foodi®Smart
Thermometer
The leave-in Foodi Smart Thermometer continuously
monitors the internal temperature of food in two places
for more accurate cooking results.
Before getting started, use below guide to ensure the
Foodi® Smart Thermometer is inserted correctly. Be sure to insert
thermometer into the thickest part of your protein.
How to place the thermometer
DO NOT use the thermometer with frozen protein or for cuts of meat thinner than 1 inch.
FOOD TYPE PLACEMENT CORRECT INCORRECT
Steaks
Pork chops
Chicken breasts
Burgers
Tenderloins
Fish fillets
• Insert thermometer
horizontally into the center of
the thickest part of the meat.
• Make sure the tip of the
thermometer is inserted
straight into the center of
the meat, not angled toward
the bottom or top of it.
• Make sure the thermometer
is close to (but not
touching) the bone and
away from any fat or gristle.
NOTE: The thickest part of
the fillet may not be the
center. It is important that
the end of the thermometer
hits the thickest part so
desired results are achieved.
• Insert thermometer
horizontally into the thickest
part of the breast, parallel to,
but not touching, the bone.
• Make sure the top reaches the
center of the thickest part of
the breast and doesn’t go all
the way through the breast
into the cavity.

NINJA® FOODI® 2-BASKET AIR FRYER12
Want to shorten cook time, but don't need both zones to finish at the same time?
When Smart Finish or Match Cook are not selected, technology is integrated into the
design to automatically optimize the distribution of power when manually selecting two
zones with dierent cook times. This means the food in the zone with the longer cook time
may finish cooking before the set time ends. Check food frequently to avoid overcooking.
Using Two Zones
NOTE: For best results, start checking food for doneness before cook time ends. Stop
cooking at any time if the desired level of crispiness has been achieved, but make sure any
raw proteins have reached a food-safe temperature.
