Black Friday used to mean one thing: A day of shopping the day after Thanksgiving. These days, you can find great deals all weekend long, from Turkey Day through Cyber Monday, meaning you’re not stuck trying to snag that one-day-only Black Friday sale anymore. But filtering through every online retailer and big box store’s special savings promotions is overwhelming. Lucky for you, we spend time during this part of the year culling some of the best Black Friday kitchen deals we can find, especially on the products our editors and contributors have actually tested, reviewed, and recommended.

And for that kind of convenience, the air fryer has quickly become the go-to appliance. We expect to see a bunch of air fryers on sale for Black Friday, but even now you can air fry away in small or XL, single or dual basket, an air fryer toaster oven, or an Instant Pot multicooker/air fryer combo, all at a discount.
