One of the most exhausting parts of hosting is the endless meal prep. All that chopping, dicing, and slicing can quickly sap your energy, and it can leave your kitchen covered in scraps and prep tools.
The Ninja CrushBOSS is designed to take much of that work off your hands. With a blender, food processor, dicer, and tumbler for drinks, it handles everything from chopping vegetables and prepping ingredients to blending sauces and making drinks.
Best of all, everything runs from the same motor base. That means fewer appliances taking up valuable storage space, keeping your kitchen more streamlined even when you’re preparing a feast.
Ninja CrushBOSS 4-In-1 Blender, Processor & Auto Dicing
One 1850PW motor base for all your kitchen appliances saves you valuable shelf space and time. This set includes a 72-oz XL pitcher for bulk blends, a 64-oz food processor for chef-level meal prep, a dicing kit for masterful mirepoix, and a 26-oz tumbler for taking personal drinks on the go.
The CrushBOSS is the powerful prep system designed to help you conquer hosting season. Its Auto-iQ system takes the guesswork out of chopping, slicing, puréeing, and precision dicing, with simple programs selected at the turn of a dial.
The XL feed chute can accommodate whole ingredients, with the precision dicer able to cut three potatoes in around 30 seconds. The dial also lets you switch between SmoothSense for optimized blending, PrepIQ for effortless chopping, and Custom Control for adjustable speeds, giving you plenty of control over everything from quick prep to more precise recipes.
It’s shaping up to be one of the best blender food processors, with a pitcher designed to handle everything from slicing to mixing dough. That could be particularly useful when preparing fall desserts, eliminating the need for an additional stand mixer when making pies for a dinner party. The dedicated dough blade is built to handle heavier mixtures, from pizza dough and cookie dough to flaky pie crust, helping you get through even demanding recipes in seconds.
The tumbler, originally designed as part of the BlendBOSS system I reviewed a few months ago, adds another layer of versatility. It lets you make single-serve drinks in seconds, from smoothies to homemade slushies, while its ice-crushing capabilities make it particularly useful for party drinks when you’re hosting.
