# Ninja Crispi 4-in-1 Portable Glass Air Fryer Cooking System FN101GY - Category: Air Fryers - Ranking appearance: Also considered (not ranked) - Updated: 2026-08-02 - Canonical HTML route: /products/ninja-crispi-4-in-1-fn101gy/ - Ranking context: [Return to the full ranking](/rankings/best-air-fryers/2026-05.md) The FN101GY pairs a 1,500-watt heating pod with six-cup and four-quart glass cooking containers, letting small households air fry, serve, and store food in the same vessels while watching cooking progress through the glass. ## Verdict The FN101GY is a compelling specialist for one or two people who value glass, visibility, and fewer container transfers. It is less convincing as a family's only air fryer or for cooks who want direct control over temperature and fan behavior. ## Review Ninja's Crispi is meaningfully different from another basket with a new control panel. Its lightweight PowerPod sits over either a six-cup or four-quart CleanCrisp glass container, so the cooking vessel can move to the table and then to storage with the included lids. The clear sides make progress visible, and the smaller vessel is especially practical for leftovers or individual portions that would feel lost in a large drawer. The streamlined experience depends on fixed modes rather than adjustable temperatures. Independent testing found that limitation consequential for consistency, and the four-quart vessel cannot replace a full-size family fryer. The glass containers and adapters also become hot and need careful handling. For its intended small-batch role, however, easy cleaning, visible food, and reduced dish transfers create a distinctive and coherent alternative. ## Why we considered it The Ninja Crispi FN101GY offers a distinctive cook-serve-store routine built around clear glass containers, a compact heating pod, and separate small- and large-batch vessels. ## Why it missed the ranked list It missed the ranked ten because its four-quart ceiling and preset-only temperature control are more specialized than the broader capacity and repeatability offered by the category leaders. The FN101GY was considered because its clear glass vessels and cook-serve-store design solve a different problem from conventional drawer air fryers. It remained outside the ranked ten because the category rewards broad capacity, controllability, and repeatable crisping, while the Crispi is intentionally small and preset-driven. Its specialist routine can still make it the better personal choice for meal prep, leftovers, and small households. ## What stands out - Clear glass cooking vessels - Small- and large-batch containers in one system - Cook, serve, and store with fewer transfers ## Tradeoffs - Four-quart maximum capacity - No free temperature selection - Hot glass requires careful handling ## Best for - Solo cooks and couples - Leftovers and meal prep - Glass-vessel enthusiasts ## Not for - Large households - Manual temperature control - Big single-layer batches ## Key product facts - **The FN101GY includes a six-cup glass container, a four-quart glass container, two crisper plates, two storage lids, and an adapter for the larger vessel.** Ninja's exact US model page lists every included system component and identifies the two container sizes. - **Its 1,500-watt pod offers four fixed modes—Max Crisp, Bake, Air Fry, and Recrisp—rather than free temperature selection.** The current product page and series guide document the four modes, while independent testing confirms the preset-only control limitation. - **The CleanCrisp containers are borosilicate glass, and Ninja states that the glassware and ceramic-coated crisper plates are made without PFAS or PTFE.** Ninja's product materials and official series documentation identify the container and crisper-plate materials for this system. - **Independent reviewers found the visible glass format easy to clean and friendly for small-batch cooking, while also finding limited control and less consistent crisping than stronger conventional air fryers.** Two exact-product reviews converge on the convenience of the glass system and its capacity and control compromises, despite different cooking protocols. - **Owner feedback most often favors the visible glass vessels, cook-serve-store convenience, and dishwasher cleanup, with recurring cautions about hot-container handling and limited batch size.** Two exact-model owner channels reinforce the same convenience strengths and practical handling and capacity cautions. ## Sources - [Ninja Crispi 4-in-1 Portable Glass Air Fryer Cooking System FN101GY](https://www.sharkninja.com/ninja-crispi-4-in-1-portable-glass-air-fryer-cooking-system/FN101GY.html) — Ninja; accessed 2026-08-02.
