Ninja Crispi Microwave and Air Fryer: A Second Oven without the remodel, just in time for Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving dinner is a beautiful thing. The food, the family, the tradition—and the annual game of oven Tetris as you try to fit the turkey, stuffing, sweet potatoes and approximately 47 other dishes into one oven. It's enough to make you consider adding in those double ovens you've been wishing for before November.

But hold up: this year, we’re making a little kitchen magic with the Ninja Crispi Microwave and Air Fryer. Think of it as a second oven without the kitchen remodel.

A chicken and potatoes cooked in the glass air fryer of the Ninja Crispi microwave.

This clever countertop appliance combines microwave speed with air-frying power, so you can heat food quickly while still getting the crispy, golden finish everyone wants. Its 14-in-1 functionality includes microwave presets, air-fry settings, roasting, baking, broiling and reheating. Translation? It’s ready to help with far more than your Tuesday leftovers.

On Thanksgiving, that extra cooking capacity could be a serious game-changer. While your main oven is occupied with the turkey, use the Ninja Crispi to crisp up Brussels sprouts, roast a smaller side dish, warm appetizers or give reheated potatoes that freshly cooked texture. And when dinner is over, it can help revive leftovers without turning your once-crispy favorites into soggy disappointments.

The Ninja Crispi microwave and air fryer

The generous flatbed design offers 40% more usable cooking space than a traditional 1.1-cubic-foot turntable microwave, and its glass cooking container is dishwasher-safe for easier cleanup. Because the last thing anyone needs after hosting Thanksgiving is another complicated kitchen cleanup.

Of course, this appliance earns its counter space long after the holiday dishes are packed away. From quick weeknight dinners to game-day snacks, it brings serious versatility to everyday cooking. And since it's currently on sale for just $399, it's a smart buy before holiday hosting season starts.

Your kitchen may not need a renovation. It might just need another way to cook.
