Food & Wine's Editorial Guidelines Published on September 27, 2023 Photo: Food & Wine / Reese Herrington I’ve been on the air fryer bandwagon since the early days, making everything from classic frozen sides and appetizers to breaded chicken tenders and hand-cut fries over two years. One thing I’ve learned is that Ninja’s basket-style air fryers are clear standouts in my own home as well as in our product testing lab. The brand has refined and simplified air fryer technology to work without needless bells and whistles, with consistently crispy results every time. That’s why I have to let you know that one of my favorite picks is on sale. The Ninja AF101 Air Fryer is a 4-quart workhorse that I’ve used to tackle everything from chicken wings to Brussels sprouts as well as baked biscuits and hand-cut French fries. It’s currently marked down to just $99 (originally $130), which is a no-brainer for a quality product. If you’re considering upgrading your current air fryer or are buying for the first time, now is the time to take the leap. Products like this one will sell quickly in the upcoming weeks, especially when Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days arrives October 10. Ninja AF101 Air Fryer Amazon Orig. $130 $99 at Amazon This model has been through the wringer in our testing lab as well as in my own kitchen, and I’ve found it’s reliable and consistent, especially compared to several other air fryer styles. There’s a reason it’s the number one bestseller on Amazon in the air fryer category and the near-perfect 4.8-star rating from over 45,000 other shoppers. At 23% off, we don’t expect to see deals much better than this one for Ninja’s signature air fryer product anytime soon. The nonstick basket is a breeze to clean even in my small kitchen sink, and the functions are straightforward enough for less tech-savvy family members to manage. I also appreciate that the sound while operating is low enough to hear my family chat while we’re waiting on tater tots to finish cooking. This smaller air fryer is perfect for storage in our upper cabinet but large enough to handle a two-serving batch of fries without uneven browning. Shoppers agree that though it’s about one quart smaller than other standard models it crisps food better, thanks to the shallow basket and superior air circulation. Having also used the sister model at home for years as well (the Ninja Max XL, incidentally, also discounted), I can attest that this line from Ninja is foolproof as well as durable. The featured programs (Air Fry, Roast, Reheat, and Dehydrate) cover pretty much any need you’d require from an air fryer. Head to Amazon now to snag this deal on the 4-quart Ninja AF101 air fryer while it lasts.
