Looking for a unique air fryer for your next party? The Ninja Crispi offers great savings and versatility for frying meals and snacks.

Most air fryers use hot air to cook food in a special basket. But the Crispi is different because its glass frying tray also serves as a serving dish. The heating part has clamps that hold the glass basket, made from strong borosilicate glass. The “fry” setting cooks food quickly, while the “bake” setting is great for things like veggies. Our testing showed it can produce crispy fries and nuggets, even in the cold.
Reviewer Matthew Korfhage found the “recrisp” setting helpful for warming up pizza and noodles. This feature makes it good for lunches at work, as you can easily store it in a desk drawer. You only need to wash the glass dish, instead of a whole fry basket, making it ideal for college dorms or camping trips, as long as there’s an outlet.
However, there are some trade-offs. While the glass container keeps food warm, it may not be as precise in cooking as some other air fryers. You also have to be flexible with colors. The pastel colors like Cherry Crush and Frosted Lilac are on sale for around $150, while other colors are slightly higher at $160. If you want all three sizes of glass trays, the Racing Green Bundle costs $190.
