It's 6pm. You’re tired from a long day at work and don’t want the hassle of cooking a long meal and cleaning up. Or it’s time for Sunday lunch, the oven is already full, the kids are hungry and there's a whole chicken in the fridge with nowhere to go. Sound familiar? This dinnertime dilemma is exactly the gap the Ninja Crispi Pro was made to fill. In this guide, we'll walk through how the Ninja Crispi Pro works in a real Australian kitchen, what you can cook and whether this is the upgrade your bench space has been waiting for. Glass Cooking: A Smarter, Cleaner Way to Air Fry Perhaps you’ve been looking for an air fryer, but you’re concerned about the residual toxins on the coating that are bad for your household. The biggest difference with the Ninja Crispi Pro isn't the wattage or the capacity but the material used for its containers. The CleanCrisp borosilicate glass containers contain no PTFE, no PFAS, no BPA and no non-stick coatings that scratch, chip or wear over time. That's a meaningful shift for Australian households concerned about the long-term safety of coated baskets, making the Crispi Pro an appealing option for those looking for a non-toxic air fryer. The glass is also thermal shock resistant, meaning you can take it straight from the freezer and put it directly onto the hot base without thawing or worrying about cracks. In practice, that makes it easy to turn frozen chips or leftover dumplings into a weeknight staple without the fuss! What makes the Ninja Crispi Pro system particularly clever is its all-in-one approach. The same glass container can be used to marinate your chicken in it overnight, cook it the next day, and then store leftovers in the fridge with the leakproof lid attached. One container from prep to storage, with far fewer dishes to deal with along the way. When it does come time to clean up, the Nina Crispi Pro glass containers and crisper plates are fully dishwasher safe. No wrestling with mesh baskets or trying to scrub oil residue from textured surfaces. Simply remove the container, place it in the dishwasher, and you're done. What You Get: The Ninja Crispi Pro Cooking System The Ninja Crispi Pro isn't just a handy small appliance it's a complete cooking system. Here's what's included straight out of the box: 5.7L CleanCrisp glass container: The large container is the star of the show, built to serve up to 10 people and handle a full 3.4kg roast chicken. This is the one you'll reach for with Sunday roasts or when you have a big family to cater for. 2.3L CleanCrisp container: For everyday meals, snacks and quick sides, the smaller container uses less energy and suits portions for two without heating a full-sized oven or the big container. Modular base: The smart base is the brain of the system. It adapts to the included 2.3L and 5.7L containers, as well as the separately available 3.8L container. Scale up or down based on the meal, without buying a different appliance. Also included: 2 crisper plates, 2 leakproof snap-lock lids and a chef-inspired recipe book, to complete the collection and provide you with meal inspiration so you can get the most out of your new air fryer. The Ninja Crispi Pro modular container system is what genuinely separates this model from a standard air fryer purchase. You're not locked into one size, and you don’t have to buy a set of accessories separately. What Can You Cook in the Ninja Crispi Pro? The Ninja Crispi Pro comes with six cooking functions and each one is practical for real Aussie kitchens. Here's a brief breakdown on the key functions of the Ninja Crispi Pro so you can determine if it’s right for your needs: Crispy Results: Max Crisp and Air Fry Max Crisp runs at ultra-high heat, the setting you'll go to when you want results that are properly crunchy rather than just warm. Think homemade chips with a golden crunch, pork belly crackling that doesn't need finishing under a grill or chicken tenders with a satisfying bite. It delivers what a deep fryer does, without the oil. Air Fry handles the everyday cooking including whole chicken pieces, salmon fillets, roasted vegetables, halloumi, frozen spring rolls and beyond. For regular weeknight meals after a quick turnaround time, this is one of the most useful settings. The glass container helps here too as there’s no oil residue building up on a coated basket, just a quick dishwasher run after every cook. Baking in an Air Fryer: Yes, Really The Bake function is the one that catches most people off guard. Muffins, banana bread, brownies and even a small focaccia, the Ninja Crispi Pro bakes everything evenly because the glass distributes heat in a way that mirrors a quality baking dish. The Prove setting creates a warm and controlled environment for rising dough, which is particularly useful if your kitchen runs cold in winter. It's a function that turns the Ninja Crispi Pro from a weeknight dinner appliance into a Saturday morning baking companion. Roast Without the Big Oven The Roast function handles a small roast chicken, a lamb shoulder or a full tray of roast vegetables without tying up the main oven. For everyday households cooking for two or four people, this is the right-sized cooking for most nights of the week. The main benefit of the Ninja Crispi Pro glass container here is also its visibility. You can see exactly what's happening as the cook progresses. So no guessing, no constant lid-lifting and no surprise over-cooking. When it's ready, the container goes straight from the base to the table with the heat-safe handles. No extra serving dish required and less cleaning up. It’s a win-win. Leftovers, Done Better We've all had the moment when last night's pizza turns soggy, the chips went soft overnight, or the roast chicken desperately needs a second life. The Ninja Crispi Pro recrisp function uses targeted heat to bring back the crunch that refrigeration takes away. This is fundamentally different from microwave reheating, which makes things hot but never crispy. Re-crisp quietly becomes one of the most-used settings for a lot of households, precisely because it makes leftovers worth eating again. Dehydrate: Homemade Snacks Made Easy The dehydrate setting runs low and slow, perfect for setting up before you head to work or attend to other errands. It’s ideal for beef jerky, dried mango, apple chips, homemade granola or dried herbs from the garden. The Ninja Crispi Pro glass container is especially well-suited here, as it doesn't absorb odours or flavours from sticky or acidic foods the way a coated basket does over time. Is the Ninja Crispi Pro Right for You? The Ninja Crispi Pro is a flexible system but it's best matched to specific cooking lifestyles. Here's a quick look at where it really earns its bench space: Families: The 5.7L container serves up to 10 and handles a whole roast chicken or a full batch of chips in one cook. For busy households, the Ninja Crispi Pro works as a great everyday oven replacement. Health-conscious cooks: PFAS-free, PTFE-free and BPA-free glass addresses the concerns about non-stick coating degradation that a standard air fryer basket simply can't resolve. If you've been searching for a non-toxic air fryer option that doesn't compromise on performance, the Ninja Crispi Pro is the answer. Meal preppers: Prep and marinate in the glass container, cook in it, then snap on the leakproof lid and refrigerate. The container is microwave safe, so your Sunday cook can stay in the Ninja Crispi Pro vessel until you fancy those leftovers. Upgraders: At 2050W, the Ninja Crispi Pro is more powerful than the original Ninja Crispi (1500W), with a larger 5.7L capacity and a more considered modular system. If you're weighing up the best air fryer in Australia for family cooking, this is the model with the room to grow with you. Cleaning the Ninja Crispi Pro Cleaning is the real reason most air fryers end up at the back of the cupboard. Think greasy mesh baskets, scratched coatings and crevices that are too difficult to reach, where the clean-up can feel like it costs more than the convenience. The Ninja Crispi Pro solves this almost entirely. The glass containers and crisper plates are fully dishwasher safe. Remove them from the base, stack them in the dishwasher and they're done. No scrubbing, no soaking and no worrying about damaging a non-stick coating. The base unit is even simpler. Because the base never contacts food directly, cleaning means a quick wipe down of the exterior with a damp cloth and an occasional clean of the fan when needed. That's it!
