Cons? The portability of it is way overblown. It’s small, but still big enough to be burdensome. But does anyone want to bring an air fryer to work? The glass containers also get very hot, so you need to use caution. They could be used for storage, but they aren’t ideal.
Overall, I think it’s great, especially if (like me) you prioritize easy cleaning and space saving. Just know the portability and food storage claims are overblown.
Le reste est parfait .
Versatile Cooking Modes: The Ninja Crispi offers four cooking modes (Max Crisp, Bake, Air Fry, and Re-Crisp), making it suitable for a variety of dishes.
Compact and Portable: Its small size and lightweight design make it easy to store and transport.
Glass Containers: The included TempWare glass containers are microwave, freezer, and dishwasher safe, and they double as storage containers.
Efficient Cooking: It cooks quickly and efficiently, perfect for single-serve meals or small batches.
Cons:
Limited Capacity: While great for small batches, it may not be ideal for larger families or big gatherings.
Learning Curve: Some users might find it takes a bit of time to get used to the different settings and functions.
The design is sleek and modern, fitting nicely on my kitchen counter without taking up too much space. The controls are intuitive and easy to use, making it a breeze to set the time and temperature for different dishes.
However, there are a couple of minor issues. The non-stick coating on the basket started to wear off a bit after a few uses, which was disappointing. Also, the fan can be a little noisy, especially during longer cooking sessions. Despite these drawbacks, the Ninja Crispi still delivers great results and has become a staple in my kitchen.
Overall, I recommend the Ninja Crispi for anyone looking to make delicious, crispy meals with less oil. It's a solid performer with just a few areas for improvement.
uses it all the time
Order from Amazon for fast shipping and great customer service.
Directly from the manufacturer ( Ninja ) is extremely slow with terrible service.
was told to return the whole item that we waited a month for
My maiden voyage with the Crispi went wonderfully! I made bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs, just as I would in the Nuwave and they came out awesome! Just as good, maybe even a little better than made in the Nuwave.
The missing star is because after having eaten, washed the bowl and prepped some short ribs for tonight, the cap is still pretty warm. It's been more than a half hour. I guess we'll see what happens as I put it through its paces during my return window. An update will be made, accordingly.
Oh yeah, I'll be sure to take a picture of the short ribs and anything else that comes out as beautifully as the thighs!
The system includes the Ninja Crispi PowerPod, two glass containers (a 4-qt and a 6-cup) with storage lids.
I was very excited to have this extra Air Fryer that will cook only gluten-free foods. I was very impressed with how crispy the chicken thighs came out, better than ones cooked in our convection oven.
The system allows you to use the same container to marinate, cook, serve and store. I was very excited because then the gluten free food is safe in my refrigerator and no cross-contamination can happen.
The plastic lids snap on for a secure fit. The smaller container’s lid is leak proof so it can be taken to work or on picnics.
Very easy to use, just place the metal crisper in the bottom of the glass bowl, place your food inside and then the PowerPad on top. Using the modes on the LED display, click on the desired cooking process. When finished, remove the POwerPod and your food is ready! The PowerPod is a little warm when we removed it, and even though they say it is safe to out on the counter, we placed it on a hot pad.
We did find that to get the best crispiness, you need to turn the meat over halfway through the cooking cycle. We also found that the smell of the cooked meat filled our kitchen and lingered for a few days. Next time, we will use the unit under our exhaust fan to see if that helps with the smell.
EDIT: We got it to work, but removed a star because it is not intuitive. The top (heater) is a square and both the included glass containers are also square. However, despite all of these elements seemingly fitting together in any orientation, there is only a SINGLE ORIENTATION THAT THEY WORK IN. The "Ninja" logo on the heating element must be oriented with the plastic fin on the container. Any other orientation and the heating element will not turn on. What is confusing is that the fan will run and it will not show an error in the incorrect positions, but the heating element will not turn on. The heating element will only turn on in the "correct" position. This is not obvious from the included instructions.
One other downside - the small container is very shallow and the metal shroud around the heating element will get dirty depending on the food you are heating. There is no great way to clean this shroud. It does not easily come off for cleaning and you cannot submerge this because of the adjacent heating element and electronics.
