Ninja Just Launched the Ultimate Hosting Prep Hero – The PREPì Cuts, Serves, and Stores in Minutes

If you love hosting a crowd or gathering the whole family around the table at Thanksgiving, you’ll know just how messy and time-consuming prep work can be.

Cramped countertops, endless chopping, and the pressure of preparing food in bulk can make even the most enjoyable holiday feel overwhelming. When there’s a feast to prepare, the last thing you want is to spend hours buried in prep work.

Luckily, Ninja has launched its new PREPi system just in time for hosting season. Designed to take on the work of some of the best food processors, this clever prep shortcut dices, chops, shreds, and purées, while also doubling as storage and serveware. I can't wait to get my hands on one. Here's why.

Designed to take the effort out of slicing, chopping, and dicing, the Ninja PREPi deliverschef-quality results without the tedious hours spent sharpening knives or perfecting your technique.

It uses just three core attachments: A dedicated dicing attachment, one blade for chopping and puréeing, and one reversible slicing and shredding disc. It removes some of the guesswork and cabinet clutter that can come with more complicated food processors, making the system easier to store between uses

The three-part feeding chute can accommodate a wide range of ingredients, too. A small pusher is designed for thinner ingredients such as celery, a medium pusher handles foods such as peppers and cheese, and the large pusher can accommodate bigger ingredients, including potatoes. Whether you’re preparing finely chopped mirepoix or putting together a salad, the PREPi has me genuinely excited about hosting my friends this year, rather than dreading the work that usually goes into our annual Friendsgiving.

Once everything is prepared, you can simply pop a lid onto the container and transfer it to the fridge, ready to use later. That means fewer dishes, fewer food storage containers, and less time spent transferring ingredients between prep and storage.

Cleaning a kitchen after dinner is easy, too. With the exception of the electric motor pod, all of the PREPi’s accessories are dishwasher-safe, making it much easier to close down a kitchen after hosting.

It’s a new kitchen workhorse that gives you valuable time and energy back when you need it most.
