Ninja AF101 Air Fryer, $75 (was $130) at Amazon
This small kitchen appliance has a 4-quart capacity and uses a dishwasher-safe ceramic-coated nonstick basket and crisper plate to make a variety of dishes faster and more efficiently than traditional methods. Not only will it save you time while preparing meals, but it’s also a great way to start the new year off on a healthier note since the brand says it uses up to 75% less fat and significantly less oil than normal frying techniques.
This air fryer is an all-in-one machine that already comes with several preset functions for dehydrating, roasting, and reheating food. You can also manually adjust the temperature (from 105-degrees to 400-degrees Fahrenheit) and timer to ensure each item is cooked to perfection depending on your preferences. Use it to make anything from appetizers like boneless wings and fries, main courses like pork chops and burgers, and even desserts like cannoli and hand pies.
It’s backed by more than 43,000 five-star ratings and several Amazon shoppers said they love it so much, they use it on a “daily basis.” As for its longevity, one reviewer claimed that theirs is “still in perfect condition” after a full year of regular use and added that it’s “by far my favorite Amazon purchase!”
“The only thing I’m sorry about is that I waited so long to buy one,” a third person wrote. “This thing makes the BEST fried chicken! But it’s versatile way past just chicken: roasted Brussels sprouts, baked sweet potatoes, rolls — oh, and barbeque!”
Once you start reaping the benefits of the Ninja Air Fryer, you probably won’t want to go back to frying with oil ever again. And for just $75, it’s worth the investment.
