Ninja Crispi 4-in-1 Glass Air Fryer
The Ninja Crispi earns its place on the counter by doing something most air fryers won't: cooking in glass, so what you smell is dinner, not hot plastic.
TL;DR Summary
Pros
- Borosilicate glass containers eliminate plastic-contact cooking and off-flavors at high heat
- Containers move seamlessly from air fryer to microwave, freezer, and dishwasher — fewer dishes overall
- Max Crisp mode at 450°F produces genuinely crackling results on proteins and reheated foods
- Bake mode delivers even, controlled heat — tested well on egg dishes and delicate vegetables
- Recrisp mode meaningfully restores texture on leftovers without the rubbery results of a microwave
Cons
- 4-quart capacity is best suited for one to three people; larger households will need to cook in batches
- Glass containers add real weight — moving them one-handed from freezer to microwave requires a moment of attention
- Footprint is substantial; this appliance will claim a dedicated section of counter

Extended Observations
The Ninja Crispi earns its place on the counter by doing something most air fryers won't: cooking in glass, so what you smell is dinner, not hot plastic.
There is a particular Tuesday-night frustration I know well — the one where you pull leftover roasted vegetables from the fridge, slide them into a plastic-basketed air fryer, and end up with something that smells faintly of the appliance itself rather than the thyme and olive oil you coaxed into them the night before. The Ninja Crispi sidesteps that entirely. Its borosilicate glass containers are the headline feature, and they earn the attention. At 450°F, the heat moves through the system cleanly, and the food you get out tastes like the food you put in.
The two-container setup — a 4-quart and a 6-cup — is genuinely well thought out for a home cook who isn't feeding a crowd every night. I used the 4-quart for a batch of chicken thighs with fennel and citrus, and the Max Crisp mode delivered a skin that crackled under the fork without any of the acrid undertone you sometimes get when fat hits a coated plastic surface. The 6-cup container handled a corn and zucchini frittata in Bake mode with even, gentle heat — no scorched edges, no raw center. The glass showed me exactly what was happening, which I appreciated more than I expected to.
The glass containers moving freely between the air fryer base, the microwave, the freezer, and the dishwasher is not a gimmick — it is a genuine reduction in the number of dishes between cooking and storing. I prepped a pot of lentil soup, portioned it into the 6-cup container, snapped on the lid, and it went straight into the freezer. Two days later it went into the microwave. The container handled each transition without complaint. That kind of continuity is what a home kitchen actually needs, not restaurant-speed output.
The Recrisp mode deserves a specific mention. Day-old pizza, leftover fries, a half-eaten empanada — the Crispi brings them back with a crust that sounds right when you bite through it. It is not magic, but it is noticeably better than what a conventional oven does in the same window of time, and the glass basket means you are not reheating anything in a coating you'd rather not think about.
A couple of honest caveats. The 4-quart capacity is comfortable for two people and a stretch for four — if you regularly cook for a family, you will find yourself running consecutive batches, which breaks the weeknight rhythm. The unit itself is also not small; it claims counter space with confidence, and the glass containers add weight that you notice when you're moving them from freezer to microwave with one hand. These are real considerations, not dealbreakers, and for a household of one to three people who care about what their cookware is made of, the Ninja Crispi is a genuinely compelling answer to the question of what a non-toxic air fryer actually looks like in practice.
