Check out the Ninja Crispi Portable Glass Air Fryer, an intriguing twist on the air fryer that's a perfect option for air frying your favorite frozen snacks at your next potluck—it'll help you win the day by frying up a batch of wings at your buddy's house. It's currently marked down as low as $150 on Amazon, depending on your color preference.Photograph: Matthew KorfhagePhotograph: Matthew KorfhagePhotograph: Matthew KorfhageChevronChevronNinjaCrispi Portable Glass Air Fryer$180 $160 (11% off) Amazon$180 $160 (11% off) Target$180 $160 (11% off) Best BuyBasically, every other air fryer works by circulating hot air through a purpose-built, egg-like basket. But the genius of the Crispi is that its glass fryer tray doubles as a serving tray and a sealable fryer dish. The heating element and fan live in a hat-like unit with clamps that attach to heat-shock-resistant borosilicate glass frying baskets with ceramic-coated trays inside. While the actual “fry” setting can be a little intense, the “bake” setting works perfectly for softer foods like veggies. Either way, the results spoke for themselves in our testing, with crispy fries and nuggets even outside in freezing temperatures.Our reviewer Matthew Korfhage found the “recrisp” setting particularly useful for bringing leftover pizza slices and noodle dishes back to life. That makes it a great choice for office lunchtimes, where you can leave the Crispi in a drawer at your desk and ferry leftovers from home. You only have to wash a normal glass dish rather than the entire fry basket like most options, so this would also work well for dorms or even camping, if there's an outlet nearby.Of course, you'll have to make a few compromises in order to take your precious air-fried snacks on the go. While the glass container does a surprisingly good job of insulating the food during cooking, the temperature range isn't quite as exact as some of our other favorite air fryers.You'll also have to be a little bit flexible on your aesthetic choices. While the pastel-hued Cherry Crush, Frosted Lilac, and Ginger Snap colors are marked down to the lower $150 price, the less pronounced Sage, Stone, and Cyberspace Gray are slightly higher at $160, still under the usual $180 price tag. There's also a Racing Green Bundle that includes all three sizes of glass crisping tray for $190, if you think you'll end up buying them anyway.CommentsBack to topTriangleBrad Bourque is a contributor for WIRED with a focus on computing hardware and peripherals.

The Ninja Crispi Portable Glass Air Fryer represents a novel approach to the increasingly popular air fryer category, distinguished by its semi-portable design and integrated serving tray. As detailed by Brad Bourque in WIRED, the device pivots on the use of a heat-resistant borosilicate glass frying basket, offering a unique combination of functionality and aesthetics. The core innovation lies in the dual-purpose design—the glass basket not only facilitates air frying but also seamlessly transitions into a serving tray, eliminating the need for a separate dish. The appliance’s heating element and fan unit are housed within a hat-like structure, securely attached to the glass basket via clamps. While the “recrisp” setting, optimized for reviving leftover food, garnered positive attention for its effectiveness – particularly with pizza and noodle dishes – the device’s temperature range demonstrated a slight compromise compared to other air fryers, indicating a degree of flexibility for the user. Furthermore, aesthetic preferences were a subtle factor, with color variations – Cherry Crush, Frosted Lilac, Ginger Snap, Sage, Stone, and Cyberspace Gray – influencing pricing, highlighting a strategic consideration of consumer appeal. The Crispi’s design, while functional and innovative, is presented as offering a balance between convenience and performance, demonstrating an attempt to address user needs across various scenarios, from potlucks to office lunches.
