SharkNinja has announced the launch of its latest kitchen appliance, the Ninja Crispi Pro Countertop Glass Air Fryer. Building on the popularity of its predecessor—the original Ninja Crispi glass air fryer, which has earned top honors in reviews—the new Crispi Pro aims to make healthy, convenient cooking even more accessible and versatile for home cooks. The product is now available for purchase directly from Ninja’s website, retailing at $280.
**A Bigger, More Versatile Air Fryer**
The Ninja Crispi Pro is designed for those who want more from their air fryer. While the original Crispi was praised for its compactness and innovative glass design, the Pro model steps up in both size and functionality. One of the most notable upgrades is the new 6-quart XL glass container, which is spacious enough to handle larger meals—think a whole chicken or dishes for up to 10 people. In addition, the Pro comes with a 2.5-quart casserole-style glass dish, ideal for recipes that benefit from browning on top, such as sweet potato casseroles or baked macaroni and cheese.
Importantly, the new model maintains compatibility with the glass containers from the original Crispi system, including the 2.5-quart and 4-quart sizes. This modular approach gives users flexibility in choosing the right vessel for different recipes and portion sizes.
**Modular Design for Full Meals**
One of the distinguishing features of the Crispi Pro is its modular, countertop-friendly design. Unlike the original Crispi, which could be tucked away in a drawer or cupboard thanks to its compact base, the Pro is intended to occupy a permanent spot on your kitchen counter. The freestanding base houses a locked-in overhead cooking element and allows the cooking vessels to slide in at different heights via a flip-down shelf. This not only accommodates various dish sizes but also makes it easier to prepare a wider range of foods—from snacks to full meals.
The glass cooking vessels themselves are thoughtfully designed. They serve dual purposes: after cooking, you can use them as serving platters right at the table. Tight-fitting lids make it simple to store leftovers, and the glass material ensures that you can reheat food directly in the same container, streamlining the cooking and cleaning process.
**Expanded Cooking Functions and User-Friendly Controls**
The Pro model introduces a revamped digital interface and expands its repertoire of cooking modes. While the original offered four functions, the Crispi Pro now boasts six: air fry, bake, roast, dehydrate, max crisp, and a gentle re-crisp mode. This expanded functionality means users can do everything from crisping frozen foods in under 15 minutes to gently reheating leftovers without overcooking them.
Precision digital temperature controls allow for fine-tuned cooking, ensuring consistently crispy results regardless of the starting temperature of your food. These user-friendly features are designed to make healthy, home-cooked meals more convenient and accessible to busy individuals and families.
