Air fryers are everyone's favorite kitchen gadget these days, and it's easy to understand why. This type of cooking uses much less oil than traditional frying, and it's an easy, hands-off way to prepare wings, fries, veggies and many more foods. One of our Yahoo home writers is (understandably) obsessed with these gadgets, so she went on a hunt for the best air fryers for 2024. After testing 15 machines, she named the Ninja Foodi FlexBasket her top pick for a dual-basket air fryer. It's on sale for $120 (down from $180). Time to get cooking!
Thousands of Amazon shoppers love these sturdy containers, which have airtight seals to keep food fresh. They're made of glass — but not just any glass. We're talking about borosilicate glass, which is used on thermal tiles in space shuttles.
Not only does it conveniently allow you to see what's packed inside, but it's oven-safe up to 1,040°F and can go in the microwave without a lid. You can also store these containers in the freezer if you have leftovers you know you won't get to right away.Got leftovers? Ditch the plastic for these super-strong glass containers.
Yard in need of some heavy-duty pruning? This small but mighty chainsaw is powerful enough to take down tree branches, yet weighs under 2.5 pounds. Plus, this top-seller is cordless for even more convenience.
One Yahoo editor gave it a try, writing, "While testing the Saker, I first noticed that it was very easy to hold in one hand. I also appreciated the safety features, including a safety lock that must be pressed before the saw activates. This gave me some comfort that it wouldn't just 'go off' if I squeezed it too tight while walking between locations. It's also easier to use than something like pruning shears, which can be heavy and unwieldy and take much longer to get the same job done."

One Yahoo editor awarded this blade the title of best budget chef's knife after testing a slew of them. She says, "When I started culinary school, I was issued a curated set of knives and tools we would need to work with through our 600 hours of training in order to graduate. This Mercer Culinary chef's knife was the one we received that day and what we would use for 90% of our daily tasks. That should give you an idea of what this knife is capable of — and of its durability.
The Genesis may not be a flashy knife, but it is a real workhorse in the kitchen. This Western-style knife is forged from a single piece of high-carbon German steel and features a handle made from Santoprene (a rubbery material) that ensures a firm grip even in damp hands."
It only dropped lower in price once this year ... so chop chop!
Oven mitts, pot holders and kitchen towels need to be replaced every so often, and if yours are ready to be tossed, this set is an excellent deal. Because it's KitchenAid, you know you're getting a quality product, and what sets the included oven mitt apart is the fact that it has nonstick silicone grips for more confident handling of hot pots and pans.
At 60% off, this is just about as low as it's been all year, so you might want to stock up on a few sets.
This versatile skillet ain't no flash in the pan — it's been a staple in one Yahoo Life editor's kitchen for years. Among its many perks are its lightweight, 2-pound design, as well as the removable silicone grip on its handle, which will protect your hands while you cook.
It's also dishwasher-safe, but our editor says, "Cleanup is a breeze and only requires a few swipes with a soapy sponge, even around the rivets that secure the handle." It's currently within $2 of the lowest price we've seen all year.

This No. 1 bestselling booklet contains instructions for cooking over 120 types of foods in your air fryer. Stick it right on the fridge thanks to the magnet on the back.
One five-star fan, who called it a "godsend," wrote: "Nothing worse than overcooking meat or fish because you guessed wrong on the timing and/or heat settings. I've referred to this for several things now and every time, the food came out restaurant-perfect!"
Flexible cooking is the name of the game with this do-it-all air fryer.
Of the three air fryers that topped our list (including the Cuisinart Basket Air Fryer and Our Place Wonder Oven), the Ninja is typically the second-most expensive. But this sale makes it the least expensive of the group, which feels like a double win. And while this isn't the lowest-ever price we've seen it on sale for ($100), it's within a few dollars of its best price of 2024.
Ninja products are extremely user-friendly, and this air fryer in particular makes cooking easy, with a large basket and intuitive digital display. Home writer Kristin Granero, who led the air fryer test, says in her review, "Foodi didn’t skip a beat: Everything came out as or even better than expected, with crispy skins and temp precision."
The fryer's dual basket is especially appealing, she says: "Unlike other dual-basket air fryers, the Foodi’s divider is flexible and can be removed to create an extra-large, 7-quart surface area (referred to as the 'MegaZone') for cooking larger batches and proteins whenever you want." That means you could roast a whole chicken!
When dinner is over, cleanup is an easy job because the basket, divider and crisper plates are all dishwasher-safe.
Kristin isn't the only one who loves the Foodi. It has more than 30,000 perfect five-star ratings from Amazon shoppers.
"We have had this product for two years and use it multiple times a week for a variety of foods. It has held up great, even going through the dishwasher constantly," said one fan.
This shopper praised how handy the Foodi is when cooking in warmer weather: "Another reason I adore the Ninja Air Fryer is its ability to replace our double oven for many tasks. Using the air fryer avoids heating up the house, which is a huge relief, especially in warmer weather. It's a practical solution that saves time and keeps our kitchen cool and comfortable." Good call!
"This is actually the second purchase of this product," wrote one repeat buyer. "I have owned mine for three years. I purchased this one for a wedding present for my daughter. I have used mine for air-frying, baking, broiling and dehydrating. I have had no issues and am very pleased with it. It is nice to be able to cook two different items and have them done at same time."
"The only negatives are that it doesn't auto-off when the drawer is open and you can't change cooking settings without turning it off first," said one otherwise pleased shopper. "Despite these minor issues, it's definitely worth the investment!"
Another reviewer pointed this out: "Definitely a learning curve in how long and the correct temperature of the food to cook." As with most gadgets like this, practice makes perfect — but we have a solution for that below too.
This CliffsNotes-esque air-frying cheat sheet makes a handy add-on if you'd rather skip the trial-and-error phase.
