Ninja - Foodi Grill Series

If you are in the US, get the IG651 instead of the AG551. It also has a griddle and both that and the grill work with either hood closed or open. Also currently discounted on Amazon.

Ninja IG651 Foodi Smart XL Pro 7-in-1 Indoor Grill/Griddle Combo Could do most if not all that you want. It could even heat up sauces using the right pans.

Ninja (in the US at least, I've heard mixed things about UK) should be safe - we have birds and this is a requirement. Double check what you're buying, and ask the manufacturer to be sure. We have the Foodi Grill/Air Fryer, and a Ninja toaster oven. Gourmia was also safe when we got that years ago, not sure if that's still the case.

Yeah, this is weird - Ninja in the US has always said the opposite and people recommend them highly for that reason. I can even feel that mine are not like non-stick pans, it's definitely ceramic and not fully non-stick. I wonder if something changed, or if this is one of the things Europe/UK have less health restrictions compared to the US? We have a huge movement of objects being healthier for us, including pans and bakeware made without these chemicals. I feel like I mainly see the PTFE/PFOA-free pans compared to those with, now, even in cheap places like Walmart.

Yeah, I have the Foodi Air Fryer Grill (AG301) and the toaster oven (DT201, I think) and they are both listed as PTFE- & PFOA-free and feel like ceramic for the non-stick-ish pieces.

We have the regular 6-in-1, not the xl. I seriously considered upgrading to the 10-in-1 but it is considerably heavier. We only use the air fryer and grill functions, but the griddle is tempting.

We love our Ninja Foodi Grill and Air Fryer! It is heavier than a regular air fryer, but it is so worth it!

Ninja foodie grill XL- we cook steak, chicken, fish, hamburgers, hot dogs, sausage, pizza, flatbread, baked potatoes after I microwave I throw in there to crisp the skin. Tacos, put your cooked meat and cheese inside a tortilla and air fry a bit makes them nice and crispy, same with nachos. Heat up anything- baked ribs in the oven yesterday, so tonight I put sauce on them and left them on tinfoil and baked in air fryer till warm. It’s our everyday use appliance.

I have the ninja food air fryer grill and the Cosori air fryer grill Aeroblaze the splatter screen just broke on the Cosori and they all ready discontiued this model. I hope it is weldable and not cheap metal that just blows away when tried to be welded. I will find out Monday.

I refused to have anything to do with air fryers. Then we got given a Ninja Indoor Grill/Air Fryer (https://www.amazon.com/Ninja-FG551-Dehydrate-Thermometer-stainless/dp/B089TQ82WT/ref=asc_df_B089TQ82WT/). It gets used for basically every meal. Besides the basket and grill inserts, I use the bottom pan as a roasting pan for all kinds of things

I love my ninja smart XL grill. It's an air fryer and a grill and can bake like an oven too. It's a 6-in-1 appliance but I pretty much only use the air fry & grill functions.

Get a air fryer/toaster combo, not just an air fryer. https://ninjakitchen.com.au/products/ninja-foodi-smart-xl-grill-air-fryer-ag551 I have an air fryer, and it is great. It doesn't sear the surface of steaks. Other than the searing (which is a big issue!) air fryers are great. The other factor I would look at, is cleaning. They are a PITA to clean, which seems* an advantage of the grill combos.

I have the Ninja Foodie that comes with an optional grill plate. So far it appears I can cook everything in the air fryer.

Can confirm. Had ninja foodie grill for 4 years. Absolutely brilliant

I recommend the Ninja Foodi Grill XL as it’s much more versatile: I live in NYC, so counter space is important so take that as you will, but the basket it plenty big for solo or 2 person cooking.

I have the ninja xl grill and it cooks wings perfectly.

What kind of air fryer are you using? I HIGHLY recommend Ninja Foodie Max indoor grill fryer. It comes with a grill option that has comfortable room for multiple steaks (or sides) and a built-in meatometer and smart auto-cook system for your choice of done-ness. I had mixed and disappointing results with a typical air fryer on my steaks, but that is partially due to beef being very different in the EU and much more lean and tough than American beef, however upgrading to this Ninja Maxi grill fryer made a huge improvement in my steak quality. For making steaks I cannot recommend it more than anything else, you really have to try it out! This is not sponsored this grill combo fryer is nothing short of amazing! Maybe there's also other similar or better ones availble to you but this is the only I could find in shops that's like this.

Get a Ninja Foodi XL grill (which is also an airfryer). You will be amazed how easy it is to cook lots of things.

I prefer the Ninja Foodi Smart XL that I bought at Costco. It has a meat thermometer that will stop cooking when meat is at the correct temp. It's SO EASY. The air fryer function works well too. 

And make sure it's easy to clean :D Mine is, and has a glass window at the front so I can see what's going on. I had a ninja foodie air fryer with grill plates and it was hard to clean and I couldn't see into it so it just ended up being a big fail.

My slow cooker is sitting unloved at the bottom of my cupboard. My panini press gets dragged out and used for a week before going back into long term storage. My air fryer gets used 6 out of 7 days of the week. I got the Ninja foodi health grill combo one which can roast and dehydrate and it’s so good for adding crunchy crispy dopamine goodness to foods. I made some home granola for the first time and it was so much quicker and easier than I would ever have imagined. Highly recommend.

I had a ninja foodi grill, but sold it when i moved cross country. Had mannnnny functions! I used it 3 or 4 times a week. The grill and airfryer functions were most popular, but I often used the dehydrator for dog foods. Get ready to be obsessed with a cooking method when you get one :)

I use a Ninja Foodi Indoor Grill. It does grilling and air frying. I have one with built in thermometer. I just bought a second for my RV because I got sick of grease splatter.

I have the Ninja air fryer grill. It cooks steaks great. Comes with a grill plate and the temp goes up to 525, if I remember correctly. I just cooked a ribeye and was perfect. Model is AG301

I have the Ninja foodi 5 in one with the removable grill grate. I grill on it all the time and also use the fryer basket for everything else. Can also remove both and use the main pot for roasting whole chickens.

I absolutely love my Ninja Foodie 5 in 1 indoor grill with air fry.

Ninja Foodi 4 in 1 Indoor grill air fryer. This thing is perfect for small kitchens and bachelors. 18 inch by 18 inch foot print. Perfect for those ultra tiny New York City micro apartment suite the size of a short shipping container.

Here is the reason you get the Ninja grill and air fryer with ceramic pans. All pieces go into the dishwasher, or you can wash by hand and it cleans up like a dream. I throw rocks at my old air fryers! https://a.co/d/jabqTR5

This one has CERAMIC pans, not non-stick. I’ve had it for several years, nothing happens to the pans.

Are you in the US or a different country? I'm starting to wonder if it varies by countries as someone from the United Kingdom indicated that the UK ninja rep said all their fryers have toxic coatings. Im in US. They said today to me because I asked about the ninja foodi 4 n 1 grill I bought in 2019: "This unit was and still is PFAS and BPA free. The inner basket is also ceramic coated, nonstick, and PTFE and PFOA free for easy cleanup. Dishwasher safe." Hard to know what to trust !  I'm thinking that I need to buy an updated replacement basket that is guaranteed pfas free by them in current day since , I don't know what they were doing back in 2019.

I have a Ninja Foodi 4-in-1 air fryer / grill that I've used daily for 4+ years.

I'm a little late to this but let me throw my $.02 in. No, you can't cook everything in an air fryer. There is such a thing as the proper tool for the job. However, in context for carnivore, if you could only have one appliance, the air fryer is a great choice. I just recently switched from one of those front opening ones with the racks and rotisserie to the ninja foodi 4 in 1 indoor grill. I hated that front opener, it never got hot enough and while the rotisserie worked well it was too small. This indoor grill thing really does cook a steak or chicken or burgers like an outside grill, plus it has an air fryer setting and a bake setting and will go over 500 degrees. Bigger counter top footprint. Next, the sous vide. I use the hell out of mine, because it means I can buy the cheapest, toughest cut of beef in the store and go 24 hrs in the sous vide and it'll be tender as prime rib. Won't taste as good, but will be as tender. Still need to sear it though so you'll at least need a pan and a hot plate to go with it. And you can cook eggs in a sous vide while that's just a huge mess in an air fryer. The main drawback is it's not just a thing you buy, it's stuff. Circulator, a container, vacuum bags and a vacuum system or ziplock freezer bags. All that stuff has to be stored when not in use, but if you get the right container it'll hold all that. Really if I had to live in a dorm or barracks situation again I'd go with an instant pot with the air fryer lid. It's a decent air fryer, good pressure cooker, I hear it can slow cook but I have multiple crock pots so never tried it. It's got a not very good sous vide function but it gets the job done, just not as well as a circulator. But it can sear too. It did better air frying a frozen steak than my previous air fryer did, but I haven't touched it since getting that ninja. It's kind of the epitome of the saying "Jack of all trades is a master of none".

I've used the grill, air fry, and bake functions on that ninja and I love that thing. I don't remember what the fourth function is. $130 at walmart and I recommend it. Most air fryers will do a great steak from frozen but the hotter the air fryer the better the sear you're going to get and the crispier the fat on the edge of the steak will be, and that thing goes to 500 degrees. Does great burgers from frozen too. Air fryer basket is only 4 qts though so if you're feeding a crowd it might not do the trick.

I just got mine a couple of weeks ago and it's the best air fryer I've ever used, and I've had 7 so far. Goes up to 500 degrees, easy to clean, does a great job grilling a frozen steak. Haven't tried it with a thawed one yet but I'm sure it can handle it. I've also baked and air fried with it, it's excellent. I've also grilled marinated chicken thighs and they come out like they were done on a gas grill outside. Get it, you won't regret it.

I have a Ninja Foodi with a non-stick coating and it does NOT contain PFOA/PTFE. I have double and triple checked. It does have an air fryer feature.

What you're speaking of aren't actual air fryers, because pretty much every air fryer doesn't have a top and bottom element. It wasn't until ninja ungraded their foodi GRILL I think in 2023 to have an element on the top and bottom. Which they have done for some of their products now, which none of them are an actual air fryer. Before they added the second element, what I said is the truth and is how they're operated with the functions. Any actual air fryer, how I said the functions work is how it operates. You're simply talking about a product that isn't an air fryer.

The Ninja grill + airfryer combo. Apart from air frying, I've grilled steaks and chicken in it and it's damn good

Fyi the price on the Ninja website is always v high. Can wait for it to go on sale on Shopee etc. Sometimes brick and mortar shops like Harvey Norman have sales too.

Yes, the Ninja Foodi is one of the best air fryers. It has great feedback and reviews.

I love my Ninja Foodi air fryer

Ninja Foodi, has an air fryer function built in that works great

Ninja Foodi!!

I just bought a Ninja Foodi, love it

Same here. Just buy a replacement pot and the problem is solved.

My Ninja Foodi came with a non-stick pot, but I bought a replacement stainless steel pot on Amazon. I also replaced the non-stick rack with stainless steel. If anyone is concerned about the inner pot it’s easy to replace. Worth a little extra investment to protect our birds.

Ninja Foodi which is both. Both things are very nice to have and very different, to be honest.

A little late to this party, but Ninja Foodi(I think) changed my life. Air fryer, saute, slow and pressure cooker all-in-one

I just got the ninja foodi and it's been great so far.

Coming back. As someone with two ninja foodi's and have recommended them for about 2 years now. Mine died just recently at the 2 year mark and they wont do anything about it. I have the big one remaining with the thermometer and I hope it lasts.

I just got mine last year after my instant pot went kaput and I love it! I was without an oven for thanksgiving and I roasted a chicken in it!

My first foodie lasted 4 years, 2nd one 1 year 😔

I have a Ninja Foodi that has been my primary device for years, bought one of these to combo with it as I couldn't pass up the pricing, and I actually use it more often my Ninja now! Of course there are certain functions that only my Foodi is capable of, but when it comes to plain ol' air frying the Gourmia is great

Ninja Foodi, used multiple times a week since April of 2020

I agree. Our big oven took a dive, but when I saw I could convection roast a whole chicken in this thing, I went for it. Haven’t even looked at the oven in three months. Got rid of the Gourmia air fryer and my toaster and couldn’t be happier. It does everything, and well.

Second the ninja foodie. I use mine all the time and the air fry function is great.

Ninja Foodi - probably not as good/convenient as a dedicated air fryer for the actual air frying part, but it can also sauté/simmer, slow cook, pressure cook, steam air fry (good for chicken breasts so don’t dry out), dehydrate and apparently 8 other functions but I’ve not used them lol. Makes for a very useful gadget! Negative is it’s a pretty big unit of a thing, so storage can be an issue. Also the lid flips open so you need room above to be able to open it which may limit where you can use it if you have cupboards above all your sides.

I have the ninja speedi. We use it for so many things, air frying, proofing and baking bread, steaming veggies, I've even used the dehydrate setting to dehydrate fruit. We use it daily. Mine did break outside of warranty and I immediately ordered a new one, same brand and model. Edit to add: I have a few friends who have the ninja foodi and really love that too. I've read a lot of reviews on the two models. It seems the speedi has a slightly better air fry feature, but the foodie has a pressure cooker setting, so it depends on what people are looking for. I know some who really love their regular ninja air fryer as well. If I was in the market for a new air fryer I'd honestly check out the ninja ones, they really do seem to make a product worth investing in.

It’s amazing honestly I love it it has so many options, 2 racks, a light, half way turnover timer, tons of cooking options such as baking, roasting, broiling etc. it also doesn’t have PUFAS/ PFAS or whatever all that stuff everyone is concerned about. The top rack also doubles as a cooling rack. It’s a bit of a pain to clean but that’s the same thing with most air fryers since they need ventilation holes in the surfaces to effectively circulate the hot air. The window is nice to be able to see your food. It’s a pretty nice size, enough to put enough food for 2 adults and 2 kids. It also comes with a cool little laminated air frying guide that shows about 60 different foods and how long to cook them for, what temp etc. it’s definately better than your typical chef man and lower end fryers priced at this range but if you’re looking for something a bit nicer around $120 I recommend the ninja foodie.

I have the ninja air fryer/indoor grill combo, and it's amazing. I almost never set off the smoke alarm anymore.

I’ve had a Ninja Foodi for years. Usually more than £100 but think you can get manufacturer refurbs off of eBay for close to that price. It’s more than just an air fryer. It also has pressure cooker, sauté, roast, dehydrate as well as other functions I don’t use. Best use for me is for sausages, can get up in the morning, chuck them in there for 13 minutes and they’re done without having to tend to them. Also use the pressure cooker for curries, and you can brown the meat in there first before switching to pressure. Mrs even used it to dehydrate orange slices to make her own Christmas wreathes. We wouldn’t be without it.

I think it depends what style you buy. My mom had a toaster oven type one and I don’t like it as much as my own. Plus gotta wait for it to preheat. I have a ninja foodie that doesn’t need to preheat and it’s what started getting me to cook more. However, cleaning it is a bitch so there might be that regret.

yeah, the ninja foodie is Teflon free and it air fries, slow cooks, sous vides, it's like a 12 in 1 gizmo, I love mine.

Same, I did just purchase a stainless steel pot because my nonstick coating was starting to chip. Otherwise the things been trouble free.

Love my Nina foodi, aside from the size of it

Ninja Foodi I love mine so much.

Glad to see this and I wanted to echo the same. We’ve had our Ninja Foodi for 6 years and use it 2x a week at a minimum. It will die eventually, but I definitely feel it’s a worthwhile buy.

Ninja Foodi! I, too have a very small kitchen and I use my ninja every single day. You can cook just about anything you want in it. I don’t even own a microwave anymore because it’s just as easy to use the Foodi for everything.

Ninja foodi is amazing. I love the pressure cooking/steam and crisp for frozen chicken breasts, slow cooling big beef roasts on sale, air frying frozen processed foods like nuggets etc etc It can be a little annoying to clean but it’s worth it. My most used household cooking appliance by far

I’ve never had any problems with any of my Ninja products (bullet, double stack XL, or slushi), but I will say that their instructions are more detailed than most, plus obviously they are more expensive, but I think that has to do a lot with product reputation.  The only thing I don’t like about the double stack is that the top rack is so narrow. After finding[ this thread on Reddit](https://www.reddit.com/user/No-Competition-5766/comments/1i5jdq2/air_fryer_models_comparison_spreadsheet/) and comparing the different Ninja models, I think that the Foodi might be a better fit for me. I thought I’d share, though, as you can compare all the different brands.

I have a Ninja Foodi air fryer that is still going strong after 5 yrs of usage and it is still geting use multiple times a week.

I also have ninja grill air fryer combo but I use inside

Okay so ignore me if this is out of budget. Get rid of the slow cooker and instant pot and get the ninja foodi. It has an air fryer, slow cooker, and instant pot settings. Frees up some space and you have a gadget that does all of them.

I have a Ninja Foodi and I use it a lot! It has an air fryer, pressure cooker, steamer etc and I use most of the functionality it has and it saves me so much time!

The foodi is the best!

Check out the Ninja Foodi. We love ours. Makes perfect rice and so much more. Insta pot/pressure cooker, air fryer, slow cooker and rice cooker all in one. The only downside is it’s kinda big because of the extra air fryer lid. The pressure lid is always attached. Also the pot is dishwasher safe and is more ceramic like. Makes better rice than a rice cooker and better pulled pork than a slow cooker.

Not BIFL but Ninja Foodi took an absolut beating from us. It's slowing down but considering how much use we've got out of it I am damn impressed.

We use ours literally everyday. Prob like 6 years too. I find it takes a while to heat up now it's on its way out but we rely on this so much.

I vote slow cooker because most things you make in one reheat well and often taste better as the days go by. I have three air fryers, one is a Ninja Foodi which functions as an air fryer, pressure cooker, slow cooker, yogurt maker. It does a great job air frying and pressure cooking, but leaves a lot to be desired as a slow cooker and yogurt maker because it gets too hot. I also have an Instant Pot I use a lot, but not as a slow cooker, it’s just not the same.

Yes. Burger and fries together are perfect. You may want to add one for a few minutes then add the second item. I would do the burger first. Then add the fries. Also depends if you are going raw vs reheat. Vegetables depends on the veg. Some are sensitive to burning and require lower heat. Some can handle full power like carrots where you want that nice caramelization that takes too long in a pan is only minutes in an air fryer. Experimentation is required at first to figure out the right temps and times. But I barely use my oven or stovetop anymore. And less cleaning especially grease splatters.

Ninja grill air fryer combo. I batch cook and the dual zones are too small for my needs. Haven’t used tefal. I’m impressed with ninja quality across the board. Really surprised me when eating the results.

Had a PowerXL one that worked great for about 5 years of near daily use before it bit the dust last year. Got a Ninja Foodi to replace it and have been pretty happy with it. I really like that it folds away when not using it to save on counter space and that its big enough to make a meal for the whole family.

I don't know if it's bifl, but when it comes to air fryers I've learned that ninja is the only way to go. Specifically the ninja foodi with the "grill" setting.

My foodi is all metal. The easiest to clean of any air fryer I've used too. Throw it all in the dishwasher haha

Specifically the ninja foodi. No Teflon.

It's a square 18"x18" and about a foot tall. It's not huge but it's not tiny either. Perfect for 2, troublesome for 3.

Still works like new!

The Ninja Foodi and Cosori Pro are two of the best air fryers for even cooking, large capacity, and versatility. Instant Vortex Plus is another great choice with multiple functions like roasting and dehydrating. If you want something high-end, Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer is excellent.

Ninja Foodi Dual Zone for multi-cooking, Cosori Pro LE for a compact design, Instant Vortex Plus for versatility, Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer for premium features, and Philips Premium XXL for large portions.

Top air fryer picks include Ninja Foodi Dual Zone for multi-cooking, Cosori Pro LE for compact efficiency, Instant Vortex Plus for versatility, Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer for premium features, and Philips Premium XXL for large portions.

I bought a Ninja Foodi on sale for $189 and it lasted 4 years until the lights wouldn't come on in it anymore. It still fried and toasted at least 2 times a day everyday though. So we bought the same model again since the lights are not replaceable. Not technically BIFL, but we think it is worth every penny and inch of counterspace it takes up.

Ninja foodi is my holy grail. I’ve had it for 5 years. I do everything with it. I couldn’t recommend a better one. Super plus is you can remove the cooking basket and wash it. It’s not connected to plastic. Easy to clean. Lots of function. Pressure cooking, baking, dehydrating, slow cooker, air fryer. List goes on.

I have a ninja foodi that’s like an air fryer plus a small oven plus a toaster oven (does some other stuff I don’t use too). I use it almost every day. Sometimes I use it multiple times a day. It preheats essentially immediately, so anything that can fit in it (which includes most frozen pizzas) goes in it instead of the real oven. It makes cooking feel like less of a commitment.

I recently bought the Cosori Pro 2 and it completely blew my ninjas out of the water. I had a Ninja Foodi and the Ninja AF101 and Dual Zone (endless cycles of upgrading and gifting to friends who didnt have an air fryer). Got a Cosori as an extra air fryer. It was $48 on clearance at walmart due to the red color not being very popular. The Cosori performs better than the Ninja in a very key aspect, the removable basket design. Since the sides are also detachable from the overall basket, they can add vents to the side of the basket. This allows the circulation of air to the underside even if the basket is completely full. Ninja's removable plate design would always result in a soggy underside if I overfilled due to the air being unable to circulate. In a scenario where both are half empty, they perform the same - slight edge to the Ninja.The removable basket vents no longer makes me afraid of just dumping a bag of fries This is not worth selling your Ninja and buying a new Cosori. These downfalls can be easily solved by preheating, shaking or simply not overfilling. But it's nice to just set it and forget it And just a preference, I infinitely prefer cleaning the dual basket than trying to remove a hot plate from the bottom

I have the 4-qt Ninja air fryer and love it. Bought it on FB marketplace several years ago and use it several times a week. Never had any issues.

I’ve not tried the Gourmia (got one for my coworker though and he loves it), but I did recently upgrade to the basic 4 qt ninja and I love it so much! It’s definitely more powerful than my old one, so much easier to clean, a lot quieter, and the button beeps/food ready beeps are much quieter, which I enjoy for late night heating

My roommates and I recently went with the Ninja 6-in-1 since we cook together a lot and it's been great. I'm a sucker for a simple UX/not overcomplicating things when it comes to kitchen stuff and it seemed like one of the better options on that front. Also have a ninja blender so I know they make decent stuff. Would recommend to just go with the one that fits your intended use. You don't want to get a big bulky one that will stick out on your counter if you don't need to.

The 4qt Ninja air fryer has made the best food I’ve ever had to this day, as the kids say these days, it’s quite the unit.

We recently upgraded to one with two baskets and I think it is a game changer. If we were going to cook meat and veggies we would either have to do one after the other or do one in the oven. This way we can do both at once. It also has a feature so if they have two separate cook times, you can hit go and it will wait to start the other basket so they finish at the same time. I have seen some with one big basket and dividers and that would be kind of nice if you had a larger thing to cook. I think we have the Ninja Foodi 6 in 1. Forget if it’s the 8 or 10 quart. Also I would WAIT FOR BLACK FRIDAY DEALS. I feel like there are always so many air fryers on Black Friday. I think we got ours like half off at Target but not 100% sure.

Oh really? I figured there would be more in America but thought it had spread. I guess it also sort of centers around our thanksgiving holiday. Either way sale or not they’re worth it. My gf got one years ago and I thought it was some dumb tik tok fas she was buying into but we honestly use ours like every other day. Can get a nice crisp on things, don’t have to wait for it to preheat, and it’s very nice in the summer (especially if you don’t have AC which I know a lot of Europe does not) because you can cook without heating up your whole house/apartment from the oven! Two baskets isn’t necessary but I do think it’s worth paying extra for so you can do meat and veggies at the same time. Some have all these 6 in 1 or 7 in 1 but that’s mostly just marketing. It has settings that will change the temp ranges but will also change the Dan speed but I don’t think that is critical. Either way we like the one we have for sure! Let me know if you have any questions.

Get a ninja air grill. You can damn near cook everything in them. The only thing I do on my stove now is make gravy, cook rice, boil things. Everything else is Cooked in the ninja.

I love my Ninja Foodie, not only is it a fantastic air fryer, it has so many other functions that I use

We have a ninja air fryer and grill. It is an absolute game changer. We can do so many healthy foods - both grilled and lightly fried. Get one, you won't regret it.

We got the ninja foodie and got rid of our slow cooker.

I've got gifted Ninja Foodie which can air fry and do a bunch of other stuff. I only use it for the other stuff (like baking, toasting, or pizza) because it's a pain to clean up after frying. For that stuff, I still use the old cheap air fryer I bought years ago off Amazon with a plain square non-stick pull out basket drawer and 2 manual dials (temp and timer) for controls. It continues to do the job well. Couldn't tell you the name. Never cared. Point is, don't overthink it. A dedicated purpose-built air fryer is the way to go for anything greasy or messy.
