Best air fryer deals in the Boxing Day sales 2023 on Ninja and more

Currys John Lewis (Person) Ninja (Organization) Amazon Salter

Eat, drink and be merry? You don’t need to tell us twice.

Tis the season to stuff yourself silly, and with all the Christmas food and drink on offer, we don’t know where to run first. Were we in the naughty mood, one might make a move on platters of pigs in blankets and a heaving Christmas cheeseboard. Nice? Well, there’s always a nibble on one of Rudolph’s carrots. We’re sure she won’t mind (much).

While fretting over calories is an activity best reserved for January, there is a way to make grub healthier right now, while still tasting every inch as delicious as fried fare. The (not much of a) secret is the modern miracle that is the air fryer.

Demand for the fast cooking countertop gadget is still going strong, despite an estimated two-thirds of UK homes owning one. Why? They can cook notoriously calorific foods - chips, chicken wings, fajitas, even cookies! - with just a fraction of the oil or energy, making them the healthier cooking tool that won’t make you keel over when household bills come in.

The craze for them has reached such dizzying heights that dedicated cookbooks have come out in their honour and this year, John Lewis released a Christmas bauble in its honour (really!).

Hoping to get your hands on one? Don’t leave it to the North Pole elves (they’ve got enough on their plate) and seek one out for yourself in the sales.

At a time when Christmas wishes do come true, we’ve rounded up the best festive deals on air fryers to snap up now and love into the new year - and beyond.

Ninja Foodi 10-in-1 Multifunction Oven DT200UK

Best for: serving up big portions quickly

Cooking functions: 10; Air Fry, Roast, Whole Roast, Grill, Bake, Pizza, Dehydrate, Reheat, Toast and Bagel

Weight: 16kg

Dimensions: 33.5 x 43.5 x 50.5cm

One of the main draws of an air fryer is that they don’t take up too much room, but if you’ve space in your kitchen for this unit - you’ll be hansomely rewarded. This oven offers ten cooking functions with options like pizza, bagel and whole roast setting it apart from the rest of Ninja’s air-frying line-up.

There are two shelves to use; the wire rack can accommodate a 12-inch pizza while the roast rack has space for a 5.5kg turkey.

Unlike an oven it won’t require installation, and is about the same size as a microwave so it will take up crucial countertop real estate. But if you’re entertaining or cooking often, the oven will allow you to spend more time with friends and family and less time slaving away in the kitchen.

There’s also the Ninja Foodi 8-in-1 Flip Mini Oven SP101UK for £199.99 which is slightly smaller with two less functions but better for cosy kitchens.
