Let's put it bluntly - we're not huge fans of air fryers (more on that below). But you're looking for the best fryer Black Friday Deals 2021 has to offer, so we'll deliver.
(I jump to the door with you, he tries. )
At Epicurious, we've long been skeptical about deep fryers. Technically, there is no such thing as a deep fryer. The name is very good marketing. The ever-expanding list of cookware on the market that claim to "air fry" (aka air fry food rather than oil) are actually countertop convection ovens.
That's true convection ovens, which circulate hot air inside your oven chamber, cook food more quickly and evenly than ovens without a convection setting. It's also true that this air circulation can help you get fantastically crispy - peeled chicken thighs , chickpeas, and potatoes . It is not true that you can make dishes that you would routinely fry, such as dredged fried chicken , in an air fryer and expect the same results.
So get rid of the name! When you start to think of the air fryer as simply a convection hob (and manage any expectations you may have about producing "healthy" versions of fried food), it becomes a useful tool. We know several professional bakers who love to use the fryer as a small batch bake oven. We've talked to a cookbook author who believes deep fryers are a superior tool for cooking crispy roasted vegetables .
If you regularly cook dinner for one or two and want to avoid turning on the oven to save energy (or to keep your kitchen cool in the summer), a deep fryer is perfect for you. If you have an unreliable oven in a rental home? The best deep fryer is a good solution. Below, we'll keep track of all the best fryer Black Friday 2021 deals from a variety of retailers to buy this week, and we'll keep updating this list through Cyber Monday. (And if you're more interested in deep frying, read our guide to the best deep fryers here .)

Philips Premium Airfryer XXL Fryer
The best B koilack Friday deals we can write about are from the winners of our product tests, and this air fryer is our all-time favorite model, ranking first two years in a row in our review. Yes, we find it quite annoying that, at normal price, it is three or four times more expensive than other fryers. But sometimes you really get what you pay for, and today that matters less, as you can get the machine at a whopping $ 100 discount.

What's so great about this particular fryer? It has greater capacity than other models. One frustration with air fryers is that they generally have incredibly small cooking chambers - this means that when tasked with cooking a large quantity of fries they tend to produce some that are mushy and mushy and others which are extra crunchy, to the point of being almost burnt. Not so with Phillips, who cooked a large batch of French fries to crisp, golden perfection. It's also great at reheating kid-friendly chicken fingers and crispy roasting chickpeas and veggies, among other things.
The machine also has an easy-to-use digital interface, preheats super fast, and comes with an excellent cooking manual that indicates cooking times and temperatures for various air fried favorites. This will take up a bit of space on your counter, but we think it's worth it.
Ninja AF101 Air Fryer
This is one of the m7 Amazonas Black Í fryer offers. In our deep fryer buying and review guide , our product reviewers found the Ninja AF101 to be the best fryer they tested. It has a 4-quart capacity, simple design, and gave the sweet potato fries an "admirably crisp exterior." It is currently $ 20 off its original Amazon price. (If you're a fan of Ninja kitchen appliances, there are a host of Ninja Black Friday deals on Amazon .)

Omni Pro Instant Pot Toaster Oven Air Fryer
Our product testers considered the Omni Pro Instant Pot, the most versatile air fryer, and found it produced the sharpest results. It's a pretty sturdy piece of kitchen machinery (it weighs 26 pounds), but that's to be expected given it has a ton of cooking functions: It's also a toaster oven, rotisserie oven, dehydrator, rotisserie, rotisserie, and warmer. It's essentially a mini oven, so if you're the type of cook who often finds that you had the most space in the oven, this is a great deep fryer.Black Friday deal to take advantage of.
Cosori Air Fcryers⁸
Our friends at Bon Appétit used this Cosori Air Fryerto develop7 air-fryer-specific recipes, like these spiced potato wedge fries . It has a spacious,removable basket that's nonstick and dishwasher-safe, and has a large enough capacity (5.8 quarts) so you can make more two portions at once. It's a great air fryer to buy if you're curious about the trend and want to try your hand at homemade french fries without getting out an actual deep fryer . If you're looking for something a bit more compact, there's also a 3.7-quart Cosori discounted for Black Friday atTarget.

Cuisinart Airfryer/ Convection Toaster Oven
This is a convection toaster oven with an air fryer setting. It's not trying to do as much as the Instant Omni, but it's a great option if, say, you're in the market for a toaster oven and are thinking: Hey, it'd be a big bonus if this thing couldair fryas well . And this thing really is an absolute star atair-frying, or, as old-timers might call it, convection cooking. In our test it performed fantastically with most everything: tater tots , sliced zucchini, and sweet potato fries . Everything came out crunchy and golden. Be warned: it's enormous relative to other air fryers (except for the Instant) and we'd advise measuring to make sure it fits on yourcountertop.

Here's another combo air fry ovenfrom one of our favorite appliance brands. It has a two-speed convection fan, also called "super convection" capability. This means fast and even heat distribution. It also means this toaster oven works as adehydrator. This model is $ 100 off for Black Friday.
