Best Ninja outdoor pizza oven is 23 per cent off on Amazon Australia and its flying off the shelves
Maybe it's the crisp air, maybe it's the smell of wood smoke, or maybe it's just that a cheesy, golden pizza tastes even better when you've made it yourself, under the stars, with half a glass of red in hand.
That's where the Ninja Woodfire 8-in-1 Outdoor Oven comes in, now going for $542 on Amazon Australia, down from $699.99, that's a decent 23 per cent off, and just in time for peak cosy cooking season.
This isn't your average outdoor oven either.
The Ninja Woodfire is designed to turn any backyard, patio or balcony into a full-on outdoor kitchen, with eight different cooking functions packed into one seriously sleek appliance.
Whether you're a pizza purist, a weekend BBQ warrior or just someone who wants to smoke their own ribs without having to babysit a charcoal pit, this clever little machine delivers.
And yes, it plugs into electricity, but the magic happens when you add real burning wood pellets for that unmistakable wood-fired flavour.
Artisan pizzas without the drama
The pizza mode is where the Ninja really shines. It can crank up to 370°C, which gives your crust that perfect blistered, brick-oven style finish.
Even better, it takes just 3 minutes to cook a pizza, and you don't have to turn it halfway through or babysit the dough.
Choose from five different pizza styles (including Thin Crust, New York and Deep Pan), and let the oven do the hard work while you pick your toppings.
It fits pizzas up to 30cm, so there' s plenty of space for your next homemade Margherita or hot honey pepperoni creation.
BBQ, smoke and roast like a pro
Don't be fooled by the name; this thing is much more than a pizza oven.
With just a press of a button, it transforms into a foolproof BBQ smoker, letting you cook low and slow at the touch of a button.
Think smoky pulled pork, tender brisket, or a roast chook that actually tastes like it's been cooked outdoors.
It's also big enough to feed the whole fam, fitting a 5.4kg turkey, 4kg pork shoulder, or even a full casserole dish.
Whether you're doing a slow Sunday roast or whipping up a weeknight sheet pan dinner, the Ninja's got space and versatility on its side.
Built for Aussie weather
You don't need to worry about hauling it in and out of storage. The Ninja Woodfire is weather-resistant, built to withstand the elements all year round.
So when the urge strikes to smoke some lamb or fire up a quick pizza, it's ready to go, rain, hail or shine.
If you've been looking to level up your outdoor cooking game or just want a fun, delicious way to get outside during winter, this deal is worth jumping on.
The 23 per cent discount won't last forever, and judging by how fast these have been flying off the shelves overseas, we wouldn't be surprised if it sells out.

How can you keep kids off screens during the winter holidays?
The winter school holidays can be a tricky time for families. Parents are often juggling work and chilly conditions make it easy for kids to end up on the couch with multiple devices. What other activities can you try? And how can you encourage the kids to move without it seeming like a massive chore or a punishment for everyone? Here are some ideas for younger and older primary school children. Many children aren't as active as they need to be. Australian kids scored a D- on a 2022 report card on physical activity. Less than a quarter of children and young people met the guidelines of 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity per day. Meanwhile, we know excessive screen use is one of the top health concerns Australian parents have about their children. In his 1560 painting Children's Games, Pieter Bruegel depicts more than 80 of childhood games and play outside. This includes playing with balls, swinging, climbing a tree and imaginary games. Many of these ideas still work today. So just like the children in Bruegel's picture, embrace the outdoors. Remember it's OK to get a bit wet or a bit muddy (even though, yes, this does mean more washing). Think about going on an adventure to the city, cafe, library, or museum or simply finding local puddles to splash in. A change of scenery can do wonders for cabin fever. Trips to the park or other nearby nature spots are also important. Research shows playing in green spaces improves children's mental and emotional wellbeing. If you feel your toy cupboard is looking overly familiar, try a local Toy Library to borrow puzzles, board games and activities. Alternatively, arrange a toy swap with a trusted neighbour or friend. Don't underestimate the joy and novelty in doing the basic or everyday tasks but with more time, over the holidays. Cooking, baking, sending cards, writing letters and reading a book together are all excellent ways to connect and build memories. You could also ask the kids to go and make an art exhibition or practise for a home dance or music concert while you make a cup or tea. Older children love to create, work together and connect with their peers. So you could encourage your child or children to channel popular YouTubers and gamers by creating physical challenges at home, for example: a home holiday Olympics, safe Ninja-style circuit or obstacle course. Or you could turn everyday chores into "missions" that earn rewards like having their favourite meal or a shopping trip. You could break up sitting time by making TikTok style dances or doing physically challenges (how many star jumps can you do in a minute?) as often as possible. If you have wearable tech, such as smart watches, you can track time spent being active. Set up a friendly competition for steps while playing with pets, cleaning up or dancing around the house. A 2022 Australian study suggests the "break up your sitting" approach may result in children being more active than a simple "move more" message. Also think about screen time that gets kids moving - such as sports-based games. Research shows the energy expended during active gaming is equivalent to a brisk walk. Not all screen time has to be sedentary. You could try a whole day without devices - this shows children it is possible! Consider giving the kids more decision-making powers on these days: they could pick (and hopefully) make their meals, have a friend over, decide what games to play or what art and craft to make. The winter holidays are a good time to set new active habits that won't only help now, but will set the tone for the spring and longer summer breaks ahead.

Best Ninja outdoor pizza oven is 23 per cent off on Amazon Australia and its flying off the shelves

Dating act making woman give up
A recent study has officially named the emotional labour sucking the life out of straight women: 'mankeeping'. And it's driving them straight out of the dating pool. The term refers to the exhausting, unpaid gig of managing men's moods, stress and social lives — all while trying to keep their own mental health afloat, the Stanford study said. From decoding their partner's emotional constipation to playing middleman with his buddies, women are being cast as live-in therapists, social secretaries and emotional scaffolding. And they're over it. 'In the US, about one in five men claim they have no close friends,' Stanford postdoctoral fellow and developmental psychologist Angelica Puzio Ferrara said at a talk at the Clayman Institute Faculty Research Fellows, New York Post reported. 'In comparison to women's social networks, men's social networks in the U.S. and UK tend to be thinner in depth, less frequent in emotional disclosure, and more rarely relied on for support.' Basically, he has no one else to talk to — so he trauma-dumps on you. Dr Ferrara argues this male loneliness epidemic isn't just a 'him' problem — it's a her burden. And it's pushing women to hit pause on relationships altogether. According to Pew Research, just 38 per cent of single women are actively seeking love — compared to 61 per cent of men. That math adds up to one thing: women are opting out of being 'therapists with benefits'. 'This is the labour that women take on to shore up losses in men's social networks and reduce the burden of this isolation on families, on the heterosexual bond itself, and on men,' Ferrara explained. 'The barriers that men are facing in their relationships have the potential to expand women's labour on men's behalf.' In other words, it's not just one needy boyfriend — it's a system. Dr Ferrara dubs this draining duty 'mankeeping', likening it to 'kinkeeping' — the thankless job of maintaining family bonds, which also mysteriously ends up in women's laps. And the root of it all? Stunted male friendships and toxic masculinity. Dr Ferrara says that naming this invisible labour is a first step toward equity. Recognising and naming this form of gendered labour may be important for making women's emotional work more visible — and hopefully, more equal, she stressed. Until then? More and more women are swiping left on mankeeping. Another possible solution? Men could be calling their buddies more often. In a surprisingly sweet new trend, bros — mostly Gen Z, but not exclusively — are picking up the phone and dialling their dudes just to say: 'goodnight.' And the waterworks are flowing. One viral TikTok, with over three million views, shows a user filming her husband ringing up a pal. 'Hi — what's up, man? … I'm about to go to bed, and I'm just calling you to tell you good night,' he says, without a hint of irony. Cue the collective swoon. His friend, caught off guard, replies, 'Why? Are you thinking of me for real?' After the man sweetly says he loves him, the surprised pal answers: 'God damn I love you too […] I don't know what to say; you caught me off guard.' Viewers were all in. One commented: 'In all seriousness, this is how you fight the male loneliness epidemic, just be friends with each other.'
