The best Prime Day kitchen deals you can get right now on air fryers, Instant Pots and sous vide machines
Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro for $320 ($80 off): This is the premium pick in our air fryer guide — but really, it does far more than just air fry. As our reviewer noted, its massive cubic-foot-capacity and numerous cook modes make this more like an auxiliary oven. (It can even cook an entire 14-pound turkey.) It went on sale for $300 during last year's Black Friday sales.
Ninja Foodie Dual Zone Air Fryer (10 QT) for $180 ($70 off): This is the air fryer to pick if you've ever wished you could air fry two different things at the same time. We named it the best dual-zone air fryer you can get — it even has a feature that makes sure the two different foods are ready at the same time.
Instant Pot Vortex Plus Air Fryer (4QT) for $65 ($65 off with Prime): Here's a smaller version of the Instant air fryer we named best overall. It has a four-quart capacity, which is perfect for one person and small kitchens. And, like its larger sibling, pre-heats quickly.
Ninja Air Fryer (4 QT) for $80 ($50 off): The budget pick from our air fryer guide isn't currently on sale, but this four-quart Ninja fryer has twice the capacity and is nearly the same price. It can also roast and dehydrate in addition to air frying and reheating.
Cuckoo Twin Pressure Rice Cooker for $190 ($70 off with Prime): This is the best premium rice cooker in our guide to those machines. We like how quickly it cooks all types of rice to perfection (we tested it with long-grain white basmati, brown and sushi-grade white rice). Just keep in mind that it can be a little difficult to clean and the manual isn't the most user-friendly.
Breville Joule Turbo Sous Vide Machine for $200 ($50 off): The premium pick in our guide to sous vice machines has a powerful 1,100-watt heater that cuts down on cooking times. It also uses your phone as the controller (just don't get it if you're hoping for on-device buttons).
Anova Sous Vide Cooker 3.0 for $145 (37 percent off): Our top pick for a sous vide machine delivers 1,100 watts of power and a flow rate of eight liters per minute which will get your water up to the right temperature faster. It also has intuitive digital touch controls and Wi-Fi connectivity.
Ooni Volt 12 Electric Indoor Pizza Oven for $630 ($269 off): This is our pick for the best indoor pizza oven — but it can be used outdoors as well thanks to its weather-resistant design. It has front-mounted controls that let you individually control the upper and lower heating elements and it can get up to 850 degrees Fahrenheit in as little as 20 minutes.

Never Botch Your July 4th Barbecue Again With Up to $70 Off the Smart Thermometers We Swear By
The Fourth of July may be over, but the holiday deals are trickling into the weekend, ahead of Prime Day. If your holiday cookout wasn't quite what you or your guests hoped, perhaps it's time to upgrade your grilling setup. A new thermometer could do the trick. It might be time to leave the instant-read thermometers aside and employ smarter wireless probes for constant monitoring and audible alerts to flip or remove your cuts. Earlier this year, CNET writer and smart home guru Macy Meyer shared her devotion to her Chef iQ Sense smart thermometer, which included driving it across the country to avoid any mistakes when making dinner for her extended family. At the time, she was using the 2023 model, but the newly improved 2025 model has since debuted. The three-probe model is even cheaper than the old one this weekend, down to $150, for a $70 savings -- its lowest price to date. The single-probe system is also seeing its biggest discount ever, $50 off, for a sale price of $80. While grilling is the obvious task for iQ Sense thermometers, they have plenty of indoor uses as well, from the oven to the fryer and even sous-vide. The single-probe system would probably be enough for anyone cooking dinner for two, but once you start juggling multiple types of meat at once on the smoker or trying to monitor salmon on the grill and crab cakes in the oven, the extra probes quickly prove themselves to be worth the upgrade. iQ Sense's wireless charging cradle doubles as a smart hub. But while the Bluetooth may work up to 200 feet away, the Wi-Fi connectivity is much more reliable. Wi-Fi extends the alerts and real-time monitoring across your entire home, so you can go shuffle your laundry from the washer to the dryer in the basement and then head back up when it's time to rotate the racks and top off the wood chips. Hey, did you know? CNET Deals texts are free, easy and save you money. The newest generation of probes for the iQ Sense are longer and contain an additional internal sensor, meaning each probe has four internal sensors measuring the temperature throughout your bulkier cuts. There's also an external temperature sensor to tell you if the gas in your grill has run out midroast. The probes are still dishwasher-safe, and the smart base still runs up to 70 hours on a single charge, with a single minute of charging adding back multiple hours of use. Best Prime Day Kitchen Appliance Deals Score some of the best discounts of the year on top kitchen tech during Prime Day, and our shopping experts have rounded up the only deals worth taking seriously this year. See Now Why this deal matters Meat thermometers, especially ones as fancy as the wireless Chef iQ Sense, don't go on sale often, and they're specialized kitchen accessories that can last for the better part of a decade if treated properly. Considering that this model is the first update the series has received since 2023, we don't expect to see it back down to these prices for months after Amazon Prime Day passes. In short, don't wait too long to snag this deal, or it might dry up. We'll keep an eye on it throughout the holiday weekend and through Prime Week. If you're looking to complete your grilling setup, there are plenty of deals on grills and kitchen appliances going on right now.

Ford CEO Jim Farley warns AI will wipe out half of white-collar jobs, but the ‘essential economy' has a huge shortage of workers
While highlighting the importance of the 'essential economy' and blue-collar skilled trades, Ford CEOP Jim Farley also predicted artificial intelligence will halve the number of white-collar jobs in the U.S., becoming the latest boss to sound the alarm about AI's impact on workers. Last month, Amazon's CEO said the company's corporate workforce will shrink due to AI. Ford CEO Jim Farley recently became the latest corporate boss to sound the alarm about artificial intelligence's impact on workers. During the Aspen Ideas Festival last week, he highlighted the importance of the 'essential economy'—which he defined as everything that gets moved, built or fixed—while saying blue-collar skilled trades have been neglected. The U.S. spends too little on vocational training, which is also geared more toward 1950 than 2050, contributing to a decline in blue-collar productivity, Farley explained, though the carmaker has been investing in training. Meanwhile, demand for skilled trades is expected to surge, and even the AI boom will require workers to build and service the facilities that provide all the computing capacity that's needed. There's already a massive shortage of trade workers, he added, estimating a deficit of 600,000 in factories and nearly half a million in construction, for example. 'There's more than one way to the American dream, but our whole education system is focused on four-year [college] education,' Farley said. 'Hiring an entry worker at a tech company has fallen 50% since 2019. Is that really where we want all of our kids to go? Artificial intelligence is gonna replace literally half of all white-collar workers in the U.S.' His AI warning marked that latest from a top CEO about AI's impact on the labor force, especially on office workers. Last month, Amazon CEO Andy Jassy said the company's corporate workforce will shrink in the next few years due to AI. 'We will need fewer people doing some of the jobs that are being done today, and more people doing other types of jobs,' Jassy wrote in a memo to employee. 'It's hard to know exactly where this nets out over time, but in the next few years, we expect that this will reduce our total corporate workforce as we get efficiency gains from using AI extensively across the company.' In addition, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei told Axios in May that AI could eliminate half of all entry-level white-collar jobs, sending the unemployment rate as high as 20% in the next five years. The latest employment report showed the jobless rate was at 4.1% in June. There are already signs that AI is threatening the types of jobs that historically have served as stepping stones for young workers. LinkedIn's chief economic opportunity officer, Aneesh Raman, pointed out in May that AI tools are doing the types of simple coding and debugging tasks that junior software developers did to gain experience. AI is also doing work that young employees in the legal and retail sectors once did. For his part, Ford's CEO sought to draw attention to the opportunity in skilled trades, noting that more Americans are also considering trade school than a four-year college. 'We all sense that America can do better than we are doing,' Farley said last week. 'We need a new mindset, one that recognizes the success the importance of this essential economy and the importance to our vibrancy and sustainability as a country.'

New York's special interests will eat Zohran Mamdani for lunch
For all his radicalism, Zohran Mamdani's program is often as vaporous as steam wafting from a Midtown manhole. It's a lot more about vibes than about delivering real change. His city-owned grocery store scheme, for starters, is almost entirely symbolic — not any real answer to the price-gouging he and his fans pretends is common at privately owned markets. The initial plan is only for one city store in each borough: That literally can't make any difference for most New Yorkers. And those five stores can't even be a meaningful test because it'd be a disaster for the new mayor if any of the stores failed. Tellingly, Mamdani brags that Chicago has already done a 'feasibility study' for city-owned groceries. Problem is, no one can read the Chicago analysis, because city leaders shelved it — almost certainly because they discovered that municipal-owned supermarkets have no chance of success. Contrary to what the hipster socialists imagine, groceries' profit margins are not rich but as thin as deli-sliced ham: Keeping the store going requires obsessive management — not the casual oversight that's given the world the phrase 'good enough for government work.' Of course, even Mamdani's plans to finance his stores is as airy as coffee-cart bagels: He said he'd tap the $140 million that the city already gives away to corporate grocery chains as a subsidy — except his crack crew misread the facts on the city's 'Food Retail Expansion to Support Health' program. That $140 million, it turns out, is how how much private store owners invested in the local economy after getting much smaller tax breaks, not city outlays a mayor could redirect. The socialist's confusion here recalls fellow DSAer Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's celebration when Amazon pulled out of the plan to build a major headquarters in Queens: This freed up $3 billion that New York could spend on schools instead of a corporate giveaway, she exulted. But no: The massive e-tailer had simply been promised (just like many other companies) tax breaks if it created so many jobs; with the deal dead, Amazon wouldn't generate any income for the state to hold off on taxing. Zeroed-out Zohran must have the same math tutor as AOC, because zilch is how much the city has on hand to pay for his food pantries posing as groceries. Of course, Mamdani actually got the funding for another of his pilot-project schemes — then lost it because he couldn't even cooperate with fellow Democrats. Ending fares on MTA buses is one of his big ideas for making NYC 'affordable'; he helped author a one-year experiment in fare-free buses on five routes in 2024 — only to see Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie quietly can the next year's funding after Mamdani refused to vote to pass the state budget. Reminder: Much of Mamdani's program — starting with getting $10 billion to cover many initiatives by hiking taxes on the rich — depends on getting Albany's OK, and he's going to need Heastie's enthusiastic support since Gov. Kathy Hochul has already said 'no go!' How will Heastie fight for a guy he already sees as a lightweight? Look: New York politics, state and city, is packed with deeply connected special interests — with public-sector outfits (unions, massive nonprofits) often more ruthless than the real-estate lobby and other private-sector players. Voters' revulsion at that corruption is a big reason Mamdani won the primary, but this crew will eat the pretty boy for lunch while he's busy filming his next viral YouTube.
