# My Experience with the Ninja Crispi: I Recommend It 100% As someone who was skeptical of air fryers because they seemed bulky and took up too much counter space, I can say that the **Ninja Crispi** completely changed my mind. This little powerhouse packs 1500W of full-sized air fryer power into a portable design that actually fits in my small kitchen. But what really sold me was the glass cooking technology - instead of cooking food in metal baskets or plastic containers that can potentially leach chemicals or create hot spots, your food cooks directly in pure borosilicate glass. This means healthier cooking with no metallic taste, no chemical contamination, and even heat distribution. I can watch my food cook through the clear glass, and when I'm done, I just snap on the storage lids and put leftovers straight in the fridge. The fact that it heats up quickly and cooks a personal meal in just 7 minutes makes it perfect for my busy lifestyle. What I love most is how the glass cooking surface ensures pure, clean cooking every time. Unlike traditional air fryers with metal baskets that can develop scratches, rust, or worn non-stick coatings that flake off into your food, the glass containers maintain their integrity meal after meal. The CleanCrisp glass technology is designed without PFAS, PTFE, or any "forever chemicals," giving me complete peace of mind about what's touching my food. The small 6-cup container is perfect for quick lunches or reheating leftovers, while the larger 4-quart container can handle a whole chicken with vegetables for dinner. The PowerPod easily switches between both sizes, and everything stacks together for storage - it takes up less space than my old toaster. I've made everything from crispy fries to chicken wings to roasted vegetables, and the results are consistently crispy outside and tender inside, with that pure, untainted flavor you only get from glass cooking. **Do I recommend it?** Absolutely. If you care about healthy cooking and want to avoid the potential health risks of scratched metal surfaces or degraded non-stick coatings, the glass cooking technology alone makes this worth it. Add the convenience of limited kitchen space, oil-free cooking, and the cook-serve-store functionality all in one pristine glass container, and the Ninja Crispi becomes essential. Yes, you can't adjust the temperature manually, but the preset functions work so well that I've never needed to. It's portable enough to take to the office or on trips, yet powerful enough to replace a full-sized air fryer. For anyone who wants the purest, healthiest air frying experience without compromising on performance, this is the game-changer you've been waiting for.

I love it. Excellent product. easy to use quickly cook compact are easy to save in the cabinet.

BACKGROUND: My goal was to replace while upgrading from a small economy air fryer. And the Ninja CRISPi Portable Cooking System provides many features my traditional air fryer lacks. I was also intrigued with advertised 4-In-1 functionality, dual cooking containers, and recognized what I consider the premium “Ninja” brand. FEATURES: Most notably are the two TempWare Glassware containers, one small 6-cup single user, and one larger 4-quart advertised for family of six. The glass allows for easy viewing of the actual cooking content. A feature that is very convenient and the primary selling point for my personal use. Another convenient feature is when you are cooking-for-one, you do not actually need to serve the prepared food moving it to a sperate plate. Just skip that step and enjoy lunch directly from the glassware. (Note that the glassware container stays very hot, maintaining its high cooking temperature, for a significant period of time after cooking.) POWER POD: The removable heating element, aka the Power-Pod, has limited user control options. A “Start” button, a “Mode” selection button, and “+ -” buttons for cooking time adjustments that are shown in small digital “count down” window. Note that there are no options to adjust the actual cooking temperatures, other than the four pre-selection ranges of Recrisp (380-400°F), Bake (375-400°F), Air-Fry (400-425°F), and Max Chisp (425-450°F). A removable stick-on label provides this user “need to know” information. ACCESSORIES: Included accessories are dual bottom tray “crisper plates” for air-frying, and snap-on dishwasher safe lids for transporting, or for refrigerator storage of any leftovers. (Recognize that this Crispi System is designed for cooking with portability in mind.) You can store/nest the two glassware containers, with the “big batch removable adapter” placing the “power pod” on top. Also, Ninja markets 2.5QT (Model: XSKSFNMED) and a 5-Cup (Model: 408SH100) TempWare Glassware options if needed. MANUAL: The 60-page Quick Start Guide (QSG) includes a cookbook with approximately 40 dedicated pages of recipes providing detail instructions with colored pictures. Another 10 pages of food preparation charts are provided that will assist with cooking most all other food selections. A very well thought out welcomed addition! QSG DOWNLOAD: I was able to locate the manual in PDF format for downloading to my laptop. Just browser search for: FN101_IG_QSG_MP_Mv6_LR.pdf CAVEAT: My only quibble with this Ninaj Crispi cooking system is not being able to easily “shake” or “toss” the contents mid cooking. All prior air-fryers I have used, I would remove the cooking tray/container by way of its handle, “shake / toss” the contents, then replace and resume cooking. And that could be accomplished with one hand without an oven mitt. This Crispi System requires removal of the heating element “Power Pod” and placing it on another surface. Then holding with both hands the cooking container, using oven mitts, then “shake or toss”. In lieu of shaking, one can remove the power-pod and just stir the contents or use tongs to rearrange the food being cooked. Not a showstopper for my use, just a heads-up for others. MICROWAVE: Once food is prepared in their TempWare Glassware containers, it can be safely reheated in a microware as another reheating option. That would be convenient when you are preparing food to bring to work for lunch and only intend to take the glassware with its lid without the heating power-pod. Although microwave use is not directly mentioned in the provided QSG information, it is clearly stated in the “Important Safety Instructions” leaflet. “Ninja TempWare Glass Containers are freezer safe, microwave safe, and dishwasher safe and may be washed by hand using non-abrasive cleansers and plastic or nylon cleaning pads if scouring is necessary. They are not oven or stovetop safe. Plastic lids are for microwave and storage use only and are BPA free.” And I highly recommend reading through this document prior to use. Download by searching: FN100Series_IB_REV_Mv9_LR BOTTOM LINE: The Ninja CRISPi is actually an alternative cooking appliance versus a traditional air-fryer. Is it better than a traditional air-fryer(?) is a matter of personal preference, coupled with one’s unique cooking requirements, and/or the occasional need for portability of the prepared food. Lots to like here and a novel approach to small counter-top cooking and reheating devices. RATING: After using for the past few days, cooking, reheating, and storing a multitude of foods, the Ninja Crispi Portable Cooking System earned itself a solid 5-Star rating. And yes, it will replace my existing air-frier. .

This is wonderful and great for many households. I wish I got it before because it would have been a great Christmas gift for me to purchase for others. But glad I received in time to use for my holiday cooking. It comes with 2 different size glass containers that can go right into the fridge to save leftovers and includes a cover for each container. And both containers can go in the dishwasher too, which is always a plus for me. Each container has a crispier rack that fits in when needed. It also looks really nice so you can serve the cooked food right on it at the table. It's simple to use and works quickly. I put the food I want cooked in the glass container then put the handle, which is where all the power is, called the Powerpod, on top of the container. I can press one of the four options, bake, air fry, max crisp & recrisp. Decide how much time I want, then press start. So simple! My little one loves to watch the food as it cooks in the see thru glass container. Most of what I've cooked so far, has taken less than 11 minutes to cook. I cooked salmon, broccoli, zucchini, asparagus, chicken, meat turnover patties, recrisp sweet potato fries, max crisp kale chips. I can't wait to try many more recipes! I'm really excited about this new cooking tool. look forward to taking it to my potluck coming up mid-January!

Convection roasters have been around for decades. Often they were and are referred to as turbo broilers. These days they are now referred to as air fryers. But for those who have used these kitchen appliances back in the day, you would know that they are large and primarily caters to six or more people. The Ninja Crispi solves that problem as it caters to smaller families or groups. The Ninja Crispi Crispi follows the design of the original turbo broiler where this is glass container and the heating element is on top unlike modern air fryers which often has a carafe design. The Crispi has two containers – one four quart and one six quart to cater to different sizes of groups. For the smaller container you just directly put on the heating element on top. As for the larger container, the Ninja Crispi has an adapter to fit the heating element. Also, the Crispi has to racks so that air can circulate under the food. Operating the Ninja Crispi is pretty much straightforward. There are four self explaining heat settings namely recrisp, bake, air fry, and max crisp. Temperature ranges from 380-450F. However, I wish that the Crispi has the ability to provide exact temperatures. I have tried the recipes included in the documentation included, and somehow they don’t quite match up. The same also applies to the built-in timer as well. As such, using the Ninja Crispi is a trial and error for me. Overall, the Crispi is a good air fryer for small groups or families. My only gripe is that heat control. But still, I would recommend this air fryer for small groups.

The Ninja Crispi Portable Cooking System is an impressive little powerhouse for whipping up meals and snacks quickly. While it’s marketed as portable, I found it a bit larger than expected, making it more suitable for home use than stashing in a desk drawer at the office. That said, its performance more than makes up for this. The Crispi PowerPod is easy to use and delivers excellent results. My first test was making ham and cheese sliders on King's Hawaiian buns, which typically come out uneven in a toaster oven with cold centers or overdone bread. With the Crispi, everything was cooked to perfection in just 4 minutes on the Air Fry setting. I also tried tater tots on Max Crisp, and while they turned out a bit overdone (entirely my fault for using oven instructions instead of air fryer times), the system clearly has the power to get things crispy fast. The 4 mode functionality is straightforward, and selecting the different cooking options was easy. The whole system feels well-made and durable, but cord management could use some improvement—it’s a bit messy to store. Cleanup was easy because the containers are dishwasher-safe. Compared to cleaning a toaster oven, this was much more convenient. The Ninja Crispi is a nice addition for anyone looking to save time in the kitchen without sacrificing quality. The heating is consistent and the cleanup is effortless. While not as portable as I initially expected, it’s well worth a purchase.

If you have seen the price of this product and are now reading this review, go ahead and purchase this thing. It is as awesome as I thought it would be. The power pod is essential, so keep it safe and dry. The two cooking bowls (small batch and big batch tempware containers with attached handles, are so easy to cook with and serve from, that it makes very little sense to even consider getting any other coventional air fryer, unless you're just trying to save some cash at the moment. They both come with crisper plates and lids for storing leftovers. Who would've thought that I would be storing my air fryer container in the fridge? I certainly didn't. Ninja comes through, yet again, with another "Cooking Ideas" booklet and even though I love making wings in my air fryers, I just could not wait to make the salmon and veggies. I'm going to be candid with you. That was the best salmon I have ever eaten. I love the idea of seeing my meal transform into a delicuos work of art( Presentaion is important to me. Be mindful, though. The power pod can get pretty hot, so use caution when your meal is finished cooking. Its also very easy to operate. It senses which container you're using, and the operation options are right there, on top to get you started. It's highy recommended that you only use Ninja approved cookware because these things are built for this kind of work. I believe that you can purchase another,different sized, container, as well, but what I know for sure, is storage is convenient, as the containers fit with-in each other (without the crisper plates,of course. Just put them away safely and remember where you put them, or you can just store the containers seperately. Your call. With for different re-crisp, bake, air fry & max crisp. It really shouldn't be an issue finding something to prepare. Like I said.Get this this thing. You've made it this far.

I’m a big fan of air fryers and use them multiple times daily for small tasks like making toast and multi-course meals. My main complaint is that no matter how well I clean the cooking drawers and racks or whatever liners I use, they accumulate a coating over time that I’m unable to remove. Due to their size, they require a dedicated counter spot in most kitchens and are not ideal for travel. For starters, this air-fryer is a multi-piece system consisting of the PowerPod cooking unit with an adapter so it will work with the included 4 quart and 6 cu thermal glass storage and cooking containers, leak-proof lids for each container, and crisper plates to use in the containers. The containers nest within each other with the PowerPod on top and the non-skid bases below for easy storage. The non-skid base has feet that are insulated so it’s safe to use on many surfaces. The PowerPod is programable with settings for air-fry, bake, max crisp, and re-crisp settings along with an auto-off feature. All of the components except the PowerPod are dishwasher safe. I travel a lot, and the compact size has enabled me to make many meals in my hotel room. I end up eating healthier and saving money! This air-fryer draws 1500 watts of electricity, so you could also use it on a camping trip with a generator. It’s also ideal that you can use the glass cooking containers for serving the food!

Great little air fryer for quick meals or heating up snacks. I found this to be very easy to use and very convenient. I've previously owned 3 other air fryers that just where too big, used to much power, or just too slow. The Ninja Crispi seemed to fixed all that for me. For small meals or snacks I use the smaller 6-cup container and then when I have to prepare any large meals or for when I have company I can use the 4-quart container. The Crispi does fries and food better than more larger brands air fryers. See my pic of pork belly crispy skin! Pizza is heated up just like it came off the oven, cheese is melted and crust is crispy. The Crispi also doubles as a food container after you've made your food, I made food for my guest and myself but ended up having extra. I left the extra food in the air fryer container and just used the included cap to store away in the fridge. I would definitely recommend this for anyone looking for an air fryer, especially for a gift to a college student that doesn't want to do a bunch of cooking.

It was very easy to use out of the box and everything so far has cooked fast and really well.

This is nice low profile air fryer, and I love that it's glass so that I'm not heating up my food on plastic (plus it's easy to clean after!) However, the big miss for me is the lack of temperature control. Their "pro" version has this but is way bigger and designed to sit on your counter at all times. Would have preferred that they added actual temperature controls to this one.

The Ninja Crispi is yet another forward looking product from Ninja, from its space saying versatility, being able to travel with it, to the glass cooking containers. The glass cooking system was one of the big draws for my girlfriend and I as less metal with non stick coatings is a positive for us. Even though I’ve read that Ninja is one of the if not the safest air fryers in terms of their coatings, I still think it’s positive having less. With two different size glass containers it helps with counter space as well, especially if you usually just make smaller portions. Though the big draw for this is portability in terms of being able to cook and then take the container with you, I see the versatility with taking the whole system on the road. For instance an RV that has limited counter space, this would be perfect. Also for camping or (glamping), you can now easily make crispy fries to go along with burgers or fries! When using it, it is much quieter than any other air fryer I’ve ever used. And when everything is done, the handles on the glass containers make it much easier to transfer your food to the plate. The Ninja Crispi is yet another innovative kitchen product from the leading manufacturer of small appliances. If you’re looking for an air fryer with unmatched versatility, the Crispi is your only option.

Love this air fryer. Large size & small size meal options in one Air Fryer! Can do both one unit! I love the simplicity of the unit. It is so simple I thought I must figure this thing out!! I came to realize there is nothing to figure out. Mode & time button is all you need! YES! Cooks evenly & you can see your meal progression & react if needed.

I really enjoy this item. It is compact, very easy to clean, does a great job. I do meats in it as well as vegetables and frozen items. There is not a lot of variability in the settings though so you do have to go through a bit of trial and error on mode selection and cook time.

This is the first air fryer I have used, so I can't really compare. However, what made me buy it was the ease of cleaning and storage of any leftovers. It cooked fish beautifully and has re-crisped leftover french fries with ease. Then you just put everything in the dishwasher-- love it!

The Ninja Crispi Portable Cooking System is easy to use. Nothing special needed to set it up. It comes with 2 really heavy glass bowls which I love because we try to not cook in Aluminum or plastic in our home. I made home made French fries from fresh potatoes. It took about the same amount of time that our larger air fryer takes. The difference is that you can see your food through the glass bowl. It does not steam up. So you can tell how it is crisping. The French fries were perfect. They were not dry nor were they too soft. When re-crisping some cold chicken, it only took a few minutes and it turned out perfect. It did not dry out chicken. It was so moist. The entire system itself is not heavy so it is easy to move from one place to another. It is so easy to clean up and store. When not in use it all stacks up nicely. The only bad thing I found was The entire system Does get hot when in use. That may be a problem with a family with children or the elderly. I can keep it far enough back on the counter that the kids can’t reach it but I would worry about them in a few years. Overall I do like it very much and I LOVE the glass bowls that are used in it.

easy to use easy to clean cooks fast a 5 year old could use it

I recently bought the Ninja air fryer, and it has quickly become one of my favorite kitchen appliances. It’s easy to use, cooks food quickly, and makes everything come out crispy and delicious without needing a ton of oil. From fries and chicken wings to veggies and even reheating leftovers, the results are consistently excellent. The size is perfect — it holds enough food for a family meal but isn’t too bulky on the counter. I also love how easy it is to clean; the basket and tray come out smoothly and wash up without hassle. The digital controls are straightforward, and the preset cooking options take the guesswork out of making different dishes. What really stands out is how versatile it is. I’ve already used it to air fry, roast, and even dehydrate snacks. It’s made weeknight cooking so much faster and healthier. Overall, the Ninja air fryer has exceeded my expectations. It’s convenient, efficient, and delivers amazing food every time.

I am really impressed with the Ninja Crispi® 5-in-1 Portable Glass Air Fryer Cooking System. Its sleek gray design looks great in my kitchen and adds a modern touch. The versatility of this 5-in-1 system allows me to air fry, bake, roast, dehydrate, and reheat with ease, saving me time and space. The glass lid is convenient for monitoring my food without opening the unit, and the intuitive controls make operation simple. The cooking results are fantastic—crispy, evenly cooked food every time. Overall, it’s a powerful, multifunctional appliance that has quickly become a kitchen essential.

Easy to clean, elegant, great for cooking all kinds of food. Though meant more for small meals not for big family meals.
