There are plenty of reasons to use an air fryer instead of an oven. An air fryer doesn’t require pre-heating. It’s easy-to-use — many times, you’re cooking your food on a counter at waist-level rather than having to grab oven mitts, bend over and lug a heavy dish out of the oven.
It’s no wonder air fryers still kicking on, post-COVID purchase spike. One of the most popular on the market right now (over 300 devices were bought in Australia in the past month) is the Ninja Air Fryer Max, which is currently 61% off during the Black Friday Amazon sales. The air fryer is usually $299, but the price is slashed to $117 right now.
The air fryer has six functions and a 5.2L ceramic-coated nonstick basket and crisper plate that can fit 1.5kg of food. The nonstick material of the basket also makes for easy clean-up. The fryer’s smart processor adjusts temperature and fan speed to evenly distribute the heat and quickly crisp the food.
“Despite its compact size, perfect for my partner and me, it packs a powerful punch with its quick heating and cooking capabilities,” reads one of the air fryer’s over 13,000 Amazon review entries. “It allows for quick, healthy meals without the bulk of larger appliances, which is definitely a win,” the reviewer added.
Another wrote: “I’m constantly amazed at how versatile it is. I love that I can cook two different foods simultaneously, with different temperatures. The crisp technology gives everything a perfectly crisp exterior and the meat comes out incredibly juicy.” The reviewer also shared that thanks to the air fryer’s dishwasher-safe parts, cleanup was a breeze.
The Ninja Air Fryer Max is currently $117 on Amazon right now, down from $299.
