Amazon Prime Day kitchen deals: It's the last day to get up to 50 percent off air fryers, Instant Pots, blenders and more
If you're considering updating your kitchen setup, first check out the best Prime Day kitchen deals we could find from Amazon's sale. Engadget editors and reporters have tested and reviewed a whole bunch of kitchen tech and now that the sale is almost over (it ends today) it may be the last chance to save on many of the gadgets we recommend (until another sale, like Black Friday rolls around). Right now, some of our favorite Ninja air fryers, Kitchen Aid appliances, Anova sous vide machines and a Breville soda maker are on sale. We linked to our testing so you can get some background before diving in. Here are the best deals on kitchen tech in Amazon's Prime Day sale. Editor's note : We've been waiting to see if Ninja's Creami ice cream maker would see a good discount. Right now, a bundle with extra containers is selling for $200, but that's still well above the low of $160 we saw as recently as January. We'll continue to monitor the sale and will update this guide if the price goes lower. Ninja Foodie Dual Zone Air Fryer (10 QT) for $160 ($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. This $160 price tag is the lowest price we've seen since Black Friday last year. Instant Vortex Plus Air Fryer (6 QT) for $100 ($70 off): After studious testing (and dutiful eating) our reviewers named this one the best air fryer you can buy. And, after reading that assessment, I bought one myself so I can verify this is one great machine. The Odor Ease tech really does keep the cooking smells at bay and the window lets me keep an eye on all the crisping that's going on in there. Instant Pot Vortex Plus Air Fryer (4QT) for $65 (50 percent 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. Cosori Air Fryer 9-in-1 for $90 ($30 off): The runner up pick in our air fryer guide has a spacious cooking capacity yet takes up surprisingly little counter space. Little features like an intuitive touchscreen, a safety release button on the basket and an auto-pause feature set this cooker apart. 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. Instant Vortex Plus Air Fryer (6 QT) for $100 ($70 off): After studious testing (and dutiful eating) our reviewers named this one the best air fryer you can buy. And, after reading that assessment, I bought one myself so I can verify this is one great machine. The Odor Ease tech really does keep the cooking smells at bay and the window lets me keep an eye on all the crisping that's going on in there. 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. Check out our guide to air fryers to read our testing results. 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. Hamilton Beach Digital Programmable Rice Cooker for $40 ($10 off with Prime): Our top pick for a budget rice cooker is on sale for Prime members. The brown rice came out particularly good in our tests and the cooker is easy to clean with a dishwasher-safe cooker pot and steamer basket. Just note that it's pretty small and doesn't have the granular controls of pricer models. Ooni Volt 12 Electric Indoor Pizza Oven for $630 ($270 off) from Ooni: Note: This deal has expired at Amazon , but is still available directly from Ooni . The Volt 12 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. Ninja CREAMi Ice Cream Maker (bundle) for $200 ($30 off): We said this machine 'makes your frozen dreams come true.' It's easy to use and makes thick, dense ice cream with flavors that are more intense and textures that are smoother than rival ice cream makers. Plus most of the parts are machine washable or easily rinsed. This bundle comes with extra containers and is the lowest price we've seen in a few months, but note that the Creami sold for $160 as recently as January. 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 $138 (40 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. Breville Juice Fountain Plus for $120 ($60 off with Prime): The extraction abilities on this machine are impressive. Plus we found it relatively easy to clean (as long as you do it right after you juice). It takes up a good amount of space, but can extract an impressive amount of juice from even the driest-seeming carrot. This is the lowest price in a while, but it went down to $110 in January. KitchenAid Classic Series (4.5 QT) for $300 ($50 off): Prime Day and Black Friday sales are usually the best times to snag Kitchen Aid's iconic mixers — unfortunately, this discount isn't even as good as the $250 it sold for in May. Still you can save $50 on a classic appliance that we recommend in our guide to essential kitchen gadgets. These mixers are durable, reliable and, with the wide range of attachments, can truly expand your cooking arsenal. Vitamix 5200 Blender Professional-Grade for $350 ($150 off with Prime): I can personally attest to the nearly magical abilities of Vitamix blenders. It can make chunky salsas, smooth-as-silk soups and smoothies in which the chia and hemp seeds seem to disappear into the fruit. This pro-grade model is down to the lowest price we've tracked this year. KitchenAid Variable Speed Corded Hand Blender for $55 ($15 off): We recommend the cordless version of this immersion blender in our guide to those appliances. This corded version has the same variable speed trigger which makes it easy to control your recipes. Note that this sold for $5 less as recently as May. Vitamix E310 Explorian Blender for $330 ($50 off): Note that we've seen this go for as little as $255 in past sales, and it dropped to $300 as recently as May. But this is still a decent $50 discount on a blender that will make any food you put in it smooth. We recommend it in our guide to the best kitchen tech. Fellow Stagg EKG Pro electric kettle for $160 ($35 off with Prime) : This exquisitely designed kettle has an LCD panel built into the base so you can choose a specific temperature down to the degree. And the hold feature keeps water hot for up to an hour. I bought this after reading our tea guide and have appreciated the steady pour every morning since. You'll likely only see the sale price if you're a Prime member. Mannkitchen Pepper Cannon for $160 ($40 off) : Not everyone needs a super expensive pepper mill. But it nonetheless became one of our reviewer's favorite pieces of kitchen gear . A side-by-side comparison showed us just how much more pepper came out of the cannon compared to a standard store-bought mill. Instant Pot Duo Plus 9-in-1 (6 QT) for $70 ($70 off) : Perhaps you know someone who has somehow gotten this far in life without owning an Instant Pot — perhaps that someone is you. Amazon's Prime Day is a golden opportunity to remedy that. We named it the best multi-cooker you can buy in our guide to kitchen tech.

The 5-ingredient homemade loaf that costs 13p & minutes to bake in the airfryer, it's so good you'll stop buying bread
A NEW kitchen hack reveals a five-ingredient homemade loaf that costs just pennies to make and bakes in minutes in the air fryer. Foodies are calling it a 'game-changer' for busy mornings, and it's perfect for beginners too. 3 All you need is flour, sugar, milk, yeast and butter – no faff and no waiting around for dough to rise. Making these homemade air fryer bread rolls costs just £1.55 for 12 – that's only 13p per roll. Viral recipe The recipe went viral after a Lillian Elliott shared it in the Facebook group Ninja Foodie & Air Fryer Recipes. She wrote: "I no longer trust buying bread from stores. This is what I bake at least once a month for my family. Sandwich Bread. "I had to make some changes or adjustments." It has racked up likes and comments with home bakers praising how quick, cheap and foolproof it is – perfect for cutting costs as food prices continue to rise. Crowdpleaser One wrote: 'Please shared time/temp can't wait to try this!' Another added: "Looks so good!" A third penned: "Delicious!" Light, soft and ready in a flash, they bake faster than in a traditional oven – perfect for when you want fresh bread without the wait. Simply stir, knead, shape and pop it in the air fryer for a golden, fluffy loaf that's ready in under 15 minutes. My hack makes the scrummiest air fryer crumpet garlic bread in just eight minutes and it only costs 50p Serve it warm with butter, dip it in soup or load it up with your favourite sandwich fillings – once you try it, you won't go back. Whether you're craving fresh bread in a hurry or just want to try something new with your air fryer, this simple loaf is a must-try. And the best part? No fancy ingredients or extra equipment is needed. It is a bargain way to enjoy fresh, fluffy bread without breaking the bank. Ingredient prices set to rise again This comes after shoppers were told to watch their wallets in the second half of 2025 with costs expected to rise by over four per cent, trade experts have warned. Food prices are set to soar once again with bread, eggs, cheese and butter all being hit hard after the Budget tax hikes. Breakfast items have been most notably hit by the skyrocketing costs to produce food in the UK. Cereal and coffee prices are set to steadily rise in the coming months as well as the staple such as breads, egg, cheese and butter. Breakfast items have already faced rising prices in the past after it got drastically more expensive in January. Food prices rose another 4.2 per cent with the return of punishing inflation after the Budget's business tax hike. The price of basic groceries also jumped by record levels as farmers, food manufacturers and retailers passed on the higher costs caused by pandemic supply chain disruptions and the energy crisis. Supermarkets including Sainsbury's, Morrisons and Marks & Spencer have all warned that shoppers will face higher prices because of higher taxes in the Budget. 3 3 How to save money on your food shop Consumer reporter Sam Walker reveals how you can save hundreds of pounds a year: Odd boxes - plenty of retailers offer slightly misshapen fruit and veg or surplus food at a discounted price. Lidl sells five kilos of fruit and veg for just £1.50 through its Waste Not scheme while Aldi shoppers can get Too Good to Go bags which contain £10 worth of all kinds of products for £3.30. Sainsbury's also sells £2 "Taste Me, Don't Waste Me" fruit and veg boxes to help shoppers reduced food waste and save cash. Food waste apps - food waste apps work by helping shops, cafes, restaurants and other businesses shift stock that is due to go out of date and passing it on to members of the public. Some of the most notable ones include Too Good to Go and Olio. Too Good to Go's app is free to sign up to and is used by millions of people across the UK, letting users buy food at a discount. Olio works similarly, except users can collect both food and other household items for free from neighbours and businesses. Yellow sticker bargains - yellow sticker bargains, sometimes orange and red in certain supermarkets, are a great way of getting food on the cheap. But what time to head out to get the best deals varies depending on the retailer. You can see the best times for each supermarket here. Super cheap bargains - sign up to bargain hunter Facebook groups like Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK where shoppers regularly post hauls they've found on the cheap, including food finds. "Downshift" - you will almost always save money going for a supermarket's own-brand economy lines rather than premium brands. The move to lower-tier ranges, also known as "downshifting" and hailed by consumer expert Martin Lewis, could save you hundreds of pounds a year on your food shop.

Health Canada Recalls Ninja Pressure Cooker Lid Over Burn Risk
A burn risk has prompted Health Canada to recall a pressure cooker lid linked to more than 100 injuries in the United States. The lid can be removed on several models of Ninja Foodi Tendercrisp multi-cookers while they are in operation, posing a potential risk of burn injuries when heat and steam escape, according to the May 1 . More than 184,000 Ninja Foodie pressure cooker lids are being recalled by Health Canada due to potential burn risks. Health Canada/handout photo The company received 106 reports of burn injuries in the United States but none had been reported in Canada as of April 10, the notice said. There have been five Canadian reports of lids being opened during use. The issued by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission indicates that more than 50 of the reported injuries were second or third-degree burns to the face or body. Twenty-six lawsuits had been filed at the time the advisory was published. Health Canada is advising all owners to check if their multi-cooker is impacted by the recall. Products affected by the recall were sold between January 2019 and April 2025. More than 184,000 products were sold in Canada and 1.8 million were sold in the United States. Approximately 187 replacement pressure cooking lids were also sold as service parts in Canada and 15,616 were sold in the United States. Related Stories 2/27/2025 2/13/2025 The impacted multi-function cookers made by SharkNinja have a cooking chamber capacity of 6.5 quarts. The brand name 'NINJA' is located on the hinged lid/heat shield on the front of each unit. The recall notice features a list of seven affected models of the multi-cooker, along with instructions on how to contact SharkNinja for a replacement lid. 'Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled Ninja Foodi multi-cookers' pressure-cooking function and dispose of the existing pressure-cooking lid to prevent use,' Health Canada said, noting that the multi-cookers' other functions, such as air crisping, are not affected by this recall. The Health Canada notice did not say where the Ninja Foodi Tendercrisp multi-cookers were sold. The U.S. advisory said the products were available for purchase at Walmart, Costco, Sam's Club, Amazon, and Target, as well as on Ninja's online store.
