The holidays are for entertaining and sharing meals with friends and family, so give the gift of convenience and versatility. The Ninja Crispi portable air fryer ($159) is one of those kitchen gadgets that does so much more than you would expect, especially given its compact size.
The system comes with two glass containers: a 6-cup container for cooking small meals, and a 4-qt container with enough room to bake a 4-lb chicken and veggies. You can bake, crisp, reheat, or air fry in the containers and then, if you’re going to a dinner party, the glass dish you cook your food in can be transported to a friend’s house.
I recently cooked meatballs for a party I was attending and loved being able to seal the container with the included snap-lock lids to carry with me, without having to transfer the meatballs to another dish and wash extra dishes. Talk about convenient!
Each glass container has a small base with fixed heat-safe feet, so you never have to worry about placing it on surfaces like Granite, laminate, quartz, and butcher block. Anyone who wants an air fryer but doesn’t have a lot of storage space in the kitchen will appreciate the compact form factor and convenience of the Ninja Crispi.
