Cooking with the Digital Cooking Probe
Perfectly cooked with the Foodi® Digital Cooking Probe.
How to place the probe
Once you've selected your cooking function, cooking temperature, protein type, and desired cook level, insert the Foodi® Digital Cooking Probe into the thickest part of your meat or fish while the grill is preheating.
FOOD TYPE | PLACEMENT | CORRECT | INCORRECT |
---|---|---|---|
Steaks Pork chops Lamb chops Chicken breasts Burgers Tenderloins Fish fillets |
NOTE: The thickest part of the fillet may not be the centre. It is important that the end of the probe hits the thickest part so desired results are achieved. |
[Diagram of correct probe placement for various meats] | [Diagram of incorrect probe placement for various meats] |
Whole chicken |

[Diagram of correct probe placement for chicken] | [Diagram of incorrect probe placement for chicken] |
DO NOT use the probe with frozen protein or for cuts of meat thinner than 1.5cm thick.
For complete probe instructions, see your Ninja® Instruction Booklet.
How do you like your steak?
Everyone's perception of levels of cook differs form person to person. The below guide shows what each PRESET visually correlates to when selecting beef. We have provided a range of options to allow for more customisation based on your preference.
1 RARE | 2 MEDIUM RARE | 3 MEDIUM | 4 MEDIUM WELL | 5 WELL
Cooking with the probe
STEP 1 Set up
- Remove probe from the storage compartment on the right side of the unit. Unwind the cord.
- Remove the CAP from the socket inside the lid on the bottom right.
- Plug probe cord into socket.
STEP 2 Plug in Probe
- Remove the cap from the socket inside the lid on the bottom right, then put the cap in probe storage compartment for safekeeping.
- Plug probe cord into socket.
STEP 3 Place probe
Insert probe into meat or fish using the guide on page 15.
STEP 4 Add Food
- Add food with probe grip fully inside the unit, and close lid.
STEP 5 Select Cook Function
- Move slider mode to Pressure, Combi-Steam or Air Fry/Hob.
- Use dial to select the desired cooking function.
NOTE: When using the probe with the Pressure function, ALWAYS set the pressure release to QUICK RELEASE to avoid overcooking the protein.
STEP 6 Program Probe
- Press the PRESET button.
- Use the right arrows to choose the desired protein.
- Use the left arrows to choose the desired outcome.
- Press START/STOP to begin cooking.
STEP 7 Carry-Over Cook & Rest
- After cooking in the unit, it's important to let proteins carry-over cook and rest on a plate for 3-5 minutes.
- Carry-over cooking is when food retains heat and continues to cook after being removed from the source of heat. Resting helps lock in the protein's natural juices.
- Did you know? Meat keeps cooking when you remove it from the SmartLid™. To prevent overcooking, the unit will beep right before your food reaches desired outcome, taking carry-over cooking into account.
NOTE: Skipping carry-over cooking and cutting into food right away may result in a rarer level of outcome.
STEP 8 Replace CAP
- When unit has cooled, replace the CAP inside the lid on the bottom right.
NOTE: When probe not in use this stopper must be installed. Otherwise an error message will appear on the display ADD CAP.
Using the probe in different cooking scenarios
SAME MEAT OR FISH SAME SIZE
DIFFERENT OUTCOMES
- Set the preset feature to the highest desired level of outcome.
- Insert the probe in the protein with the higher desired level of outcome.
- When the lower desired level of outcome is reached, remove the protein with the probe from the unit. Use oven gloves to transfer the probe to the remaining protein.
- Repeat steps 1 and 2 for the second protein.
SAME MEAT OR FISH DIFFERENT SIZES
- Set the preset feature to the desired level of outcome for the smaller protein.
- Insert probe in the smaller protein. Then refer to Steps 5 and 6 in the above chart.
- As the probe does get hot, use oven gloves to transfer it to the larger protein. Then use the arrows to the left of the display to choose the level of outcome.
DIFFERENT MEAT OR FISH
- Insert probe in the protein with the lower desired level of outcome.
- Use the Manual feature to choose the desired internal temperature (refer to Instructions).
- As the probe does get hot, use oven gloves to transfer it to the other protein. Then use the Manual feature to choose the desired internal temperature.
Making the Perfect Dough
5 keys to making the perfect dough
The Steam Bread function results in faster baking, retains moisture and perfect colour and crust. Baking is a science, and a recipe—in the professional world of baking—is referred to as a formula.
PRECISE MEASUREMENTS
It's important that your measurements and ratios are as precise as possible.
TEMPERATURE
Temperature is a key factor to consider when making a dough. When recipes call for liquid ingredients to be at a specific temperature, it is very important to follow this instruction. The best temperature for liquid ingredients is typically around 32-38°C. This temperature is ideal for instant yeast to dissolve, multiply and feed the process that leads to the perfect rise.
HUMIDITY
Excess humidity can result in overly wet dough, whereas a very dry environment can dry out your dough.
If your dough is too wet, try adding a tablespoon of flour at a time and mixing it in until the dough is no longer soggy.
If your dough is too dry, try adding a tablespoon of water at a time and mixing it in until the dough is smooth and soft.
TEXTURE
The texture of the dough may vary between recipes. A recipe may call for a soft and supple dough, a firm and tough dough, or a slightly wet and sticky one. Regardless of which dough type the recipe calls for, the dough texture should visually appear smooth and held together (unless otherwise noted in the recipe).
You should be able to see that all ingredients are incorporated.
When transferring the dough, no ingredients should stick to the sides of the mixing bowl.
PROVING
When it comes to proving, there are a couple tricks for checking if a dough is fully proved. The most accurate is the "poke test."
PERFECTLY PROOFED
If you poke perfectly proved dough with your finger, the indentation will hold its shape and disappear slowly. If more proving is needed, the dough will spring back and not hold the indentation.
Besides the poke test, you can also judge the proving by the size of the dough, which should double after proving is complete.

Don't forget to add water or stock to create steam and cook your food.
TIPS When freestyling with foods in these charts, keep the following tips in mind:
- If food volume increases and size stays the same (e.g., increasing from one to two 500g pork tenderloins), cook time should remain the same.
- If food size increases (e.g., increasing from a 1kg pork shoulder to a 2kg one), the cook time must increase.
- The amount of water can remain the same for all food volumes--but always use at least 250ml water so the unit can build pressure.

TIP For best results, check progress throughout cooking, and shake Cook & Crisp™ basket or toss ingredients with silicone-tipped tongs frequently. Remove food immediately after cook time is complete and your desired level of crispiness is achieved. We recommend using an instant-read probe to monitor the internal temperature of proteins.
* After cutting potatoes, allow raw chips to soak in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove unnecessary starch. Pat chips dry. The drier the chips the better the results.
