No matter if you’re basically a chef or still iffy on making pasta, everyone could use something that makes cooking slightly easier — and faster. Enter the air-fryer, which can crisp up just about any ingredient to a delicious golden-brown using a fraction of the oil as deep- or pan-frying. We’ve written about the bigger model of this Bella air-fryer before, and reviewers on Amazon love the easy-to-clean, dishwasher-safe basket and small profile on their counters. And because this one is even smaller — just 1.6 quarts — it’ll take up even less space, which makes it just right for those who are cautiously optimistic about the idea of freshly fried chicken wings in a matter of minutes. One more detail that might sway you is the price: just $20 at Best Buy, the cheapest we’ve ever seen an air fryer of this quality.
Editor’s note: The air fryer sold out at Best Buy, but it’s on sale at Macy’s for $31, which is still a very good deal.
