Centuries from now, historians will declare this the era of the air fryer.
Demand is still going strong for these hero kitchen appliances; most people have been at least in the vicinity of one, if not owning one outright.
Why are they so popular? Energy efficiency is top of the list. These countertop machines use far less energy compared to a standard oven, allowing you to pocket the savings - an undeniably helpful thing, given the current state of things.
Second, they cook so well that it feels as though they can make cardboard tasty - although we heavily advise against putting anything but edible ingredients inside the compartment. Chicken wings, fries, sausages and burgers can go in from frozen and come out succulent and crispy using just a fraction of the oil - or better yet, none at all.
They were the star bargain on Black Friday when stock all but sold out. Now the countdown is on for another sale and we reckon it’ll be air fryers in the spotlight once more: Amazon Big Deal Days.
What is Amazon Prime Day?
The two-day event from the Internet’s everything store began in 2015 as the company celebrated 20 years of going from a bookseller to an online retail heavyweight. The sale was so popular Amazon decided to make it an annual thing and it usually takes place in July every year.
What is the difference between Amazon Prime Day and Amazon Big Deal Days?
Amazon’s new sale is marked for an October billing. Aside from a different date, the two sales are extremely similar. Both will only be accessible to those with Prime membership.
When is Amazon Prime Big Deal Days?
The deals will land on October 10 and 11.
How to take part in Amazon Prime Big Deal Days
As we mentioned, if you want to nab the stellar deals in the sale, you’ll need to have a Prime membership. For a relatively small sum - £8.99 a month; or £95 a year, which is slightly more cost-effective. Amazon Student membership fees come in at: £4.49 per month; £47.49 per year. For your cash, you can expect access to exclusive content, from videos, gaming, music and books as well as speedy delivery and perks with partners like Deliveroo.
What kind of deals can we expect?
Amazon’s air fryer deals are particularly good, with prices tumbling to as low as £20 in some cases. While big brand names are part of the action - think Ninja, Tower, Sage and more - it’s worth scoping out the smaller ones too. They’ll give you a taste of air fryer magic at little more than it costs to get a round in at the pub.
Are there any discounts available now?
This is Amazon, so of course there are deals available now.
