Best Practices & Tips

For best results, shake, flip, or rotate often: We recommend frequently checking your food and shaking, rotating, or flipping it to ensure desired results. Use these cook times as a guide, adjusting to your preference.

TIP: If cooking smaller amounts of food, use the recommended temperature, but reduce the time. For best results, check food periodically and shake or toss it often until it reaches the desired doneness.

Shake your food or Toss or flip with silicone-tipped tongs to ensure even cooking.

Remove food immediately after cook time is complete and your desired level of doneness is achieved. Use an instant-read thermometer to monitor the internal temperature of proteins.

For marinades containing sugar, honey, or other sweeteners, brush onto proteins halfway through broiling to avoid burning.

For sheet pan meals, cut ingredients to the same size.

• For marinades containing sugar, honey, or other sweeteners, brush onto proteins halfway through broiling to avoid burning.
• Rotate air fry basket 180° or flip ingredients halfway through cooking.
• For sheet pan meals, cut ingredients to the same size.
• Space ingredients, like spoonfuls of cookie dough, equally apart on the sheet pan.
• For best results with baked goods such as cookies, line the Ninja® Sheet Pan with parchment paper.
