About Crispi Recipes and Marion Lund

Welcome to Crispi Recipes. Here I test recipes for the Ninja Crispi and tell you, for each one, which mode to choose, which container to use and what changes from one model to another.

Who writes here

My name is Marion Lund, I am 34 and I spent several years in the kitchen of a takeaway caterer: preparing, portioning, packing meals into trays, then starting again the next day. Today I live in a 38 m² flat with a small kitchen, and I prepare my meals for the week on Sundays.

What won me over with the Crispi is very simple: you cook, serve and store in the same glass container, and you can watch the food cook through the glass. I cook every day with a Crispi FN101 (3.8 L and 1.4 L containers, plus a 2.3 L container bought separately) and, for what it cannot do, with a Crispi Pro AS101. I do not own the DualZone, the 5-mode Pro or the Pro Grill: when I write about them, it is from their instruction manual, and I say so.

How I work

• Test before writing. I note the actual cooking time, the container used, the result and what I had to adjust. When a recipe does not work well in the Crispi, I tell you, rather than let you lose a meal.
• Start from the manual. Modes, temperatures and reference times come from the instruction manuals and cooking charts Ninja publishes for Europe. I never give a temperature for the standard Crispi: it has no temperature setting, only a mode and a time.
• State compatibility. Every recipe gives the mode used, the compatible models and, when a model lacks that mode, the alternative to choose.
• Correct openly. If a setting changes after a new test, a new manual or a note from a reader, I update the page.

Independence and transparency

Crispi Recipes is an independent website: it is not published, approved or sponsored by Ninja or SharkNinja. It is free and funded by advertising and affiliate links; some links, including those to Amazon, may earn the site a commission at no extra cost to you. This changes nothing in the settings I give or the limits I point out.

Where to start

If you are new to the appliance, start with the guide which Ninja Crispi mode to choose for each food. Then browse the recipes by section from the home page, or write to me from the contact page if a setting leaves you with a question.
