Ninja Glass Air Fryer: Crispi Sizes and What Is Glass
The Ninja Crispi is a glass air fryer. The food sits in a glass container under a separate heating unit. The containers are glass, but the plates under the food are the open question, so we couldn’t confirm the Crispi’s plates.

The short answer
Choose the Crispi if a 4-quart container is enough, and the Crispi Pro if you need 6 quarts. The containers are glass, with lids Ninja calls BPA free. SharkNinja says “CleanCrisp™ Glassware is free from PTFE and PFAs”. A search result says the plates are aluminum with a ceramic coating, but we couldn’t confirm it.

Glass, known brand
Ninja Crispi
The food sits in a glass container; the plates and handles need a closer look.
The smaller, portable Crispi. The food sits in glass, but we couldn’t confirm the plate’s coating.
Good for families who would rather have glass than metal around the food and will look closely at the plate and handles.
Coating: We couldn’t confirm
- Ninja’s page lists “PFAS- & PTFE-free” under cooking surfaces
- SharkNinja says its glassware is “free from PTFE and PFAs”
- A “4-qt capacity container”, says Ninja
- An excerpt says the plates have a “nano-ceramic coating”; unconfirmed
- An excerpt says the handles are plastic; we couldn’t confirm it

What is glass, and what isn’t?
- Containers: Ninja’s guide calls them “Ninja TempWare Glass”.
- Lids: plastic. “BPA free”, per the guide.
- Plates: the guide doesn’t name the material. A search result says aluminum with a ceramic coating.
- Handles: the guide doesn’t say what they are made of.
SharkNinja says “CleanCrisp™ Glassware is free from PTFE and PFAs”, which is about the glassware. PTFE is the slick nonstick coating best known as Teflon. PFAS is the big chemical family it belongs to. Those are SharkNinja’s words, and we can’t check them.
How do I look after it?
- Don’t add cold food to hot glass. Let it cool before the sink or fridge.
- Stop using a container that is chipped, cracked or deeply scratched.
- Containers, plates and adapter can go in the dishwasher. Lids go on the top rack.
- Wipe the PowerPod with a damp cloth. Never put it in water.
That is from the guide for the FN100 series. The Pro may differ.
Is it right for me?
In its favor
- You can see the food, and it sits in glass
- A wide range of sizes from one brand
- Containers double as storage
Against it
- The plate’s coating isn’t confirmed
- Glass needs care with temperature changes
- No paper we read lists the handles or base

Common questions
What sizes does the Ninja glass air fryer come in?
Ninja lists the Crispi FN101 with a 4-quart container, the Crispi Pro AS101 with 6 quarts, and the DualZone DD101 with two 4-quart containers. Sets change, so check what is in the box.
Do Ninja Crispi air fryers have plastic or a coating?
The guide says the plastic lids are for microwave and storage only and are BPA free. A search result names plastic handles and plates of “Aluminum with a nano-ceramic coating”, but we couldn’t confirm it. The plate is the part to ask Ninja about.
Can the Ninja Crispi glass containers go in the oven or dishwasher?
They can go in the dishwasher, freezer and microwave, per the guide. They are not for the oven, broiler or stovetop. Let glass cool before it goes in the sink, because sudden changes in temperature can break it.
