Prime Day Air Fryer Deals To Keep Your Oven Off This Summer

The last thing you need on a hot summer day is a sizable oven roaring to life and heating up your kitchen and living space even more. Especially since ovens are sized for big jobs — think roasting a turkey — and most of the time you have it on you're using only a small percentage of the volume. That's just one of the reasons air fryers are so appealing. These countertop appliances are dramatically smaller than most conventional ovens so they take less energy and time to heat and thus contribute fewer degrees to the surrounding environment.

What's more, air fryers, which are essentially small, powerful convection ovens, are able to get food nice and crispy without firing up a pot of oil or a deep fryer. People love them for their ability to turn out lighter, but still crunchy chicken tenders and french fries with a fraction of the grease, and so much more. With its famous Prime Day sale here, Amazon is rolling out some sizzling deals on air fryers just in time to beat the summer heat. We've compiled a list of the best to keep you cool and cooking up good food all season long and beyond.

The dilemma with many air fryers is that you want to cook more than one item at a time, but the single cooking basket means you have to work in stages. Kitchen gadget makers of the hit Instant Pot have solved the problem with their new dual basket air fryer that allows for separate items to be cooked at their own temperatures simultaneously. That means not having to turn on your conventional oven to keep things warm or watching as your sweet potato fries grow limp and your onion rings sizzle.

The programmable display lets you choose from nine functions, including all-important reminders, so that meals are customized to your taste.

We're suckers for a multi-functioning kitchen appliance that saves space while performing triple duty. That's what makes this combo air fryer/toaster oven/steamer so great.

What's more, the built-in digital thermometer monitors the internal temperature of the food your cooking; set it to your desired doneness and the oven will turn off automatically so you don't have to worry about overcooking again.

Dash has redesigned this 6-quart air fryer with a basket that has greater surface area, which means foods have more exposure to the heat for faster crisping. But all that space inside doesn't mean this air fryer is a beast; at only 13 inches tall by 11 inches deep and relatively light, this model easily stores under kitchen cabinets. It also has a handy automatic shut-off feature that gives you peace of mind knowing that your food isn't going to go from crispy to charred if you're tending to something else.

There's not much this handy air fryer from Ninja can't do. It is an air fryer, clearly, but it also air broils, roasts, bakes, reheats, and dehydrates. What's more, it can perform multiple functions at the same time. Thanks to the dual baskets and the Smart Finish feature, you can apply different cooking techniques to each zone for balanced meals that require more than one technique. Or, if it's a large air fryer you need, copy your settings across the two zones to make maximum use of the full 8-quart capacity.

It is also a cinch to clean, featuring a crisper tray that catches food detritus and other messes, and keeps them away from the cooking area.
