I found 9 Black Friday kitchen appliance deals happening now

Black Friday is still a month away, but there are several deals already available. If there are any deals you should capitalize on early, it’s appliance deals. After all, wouldn’t you rather have your smokeless grill, air fryer and Ninja Foodi before you start cooking Thanksgiving dinner, instead of buying it a few hours after you’ve feasted? We’ve collected some early Black Friday deals on our favorite kitchen gadgets. Some of these are luxury items, and some are kitchen essentials you should grab while they’re cheap.

Bella Pro 4.2-Quart Air Fryer — $40, was $80

If you haven’t tried an air fryer yet, here is the one to buy so you can get a good idea of what they’re like before plopping down a ton of money on a more expensive model. At just 4.2 quarts, you might consider this a small air fryer, but it still has enough room inside to store 3.6 pounds of food, enough for medium-sized families and small Thanksgiving get togethers. Just be sure to preheat it. We particularly like how it is easy to clean. On the inside, this is due to its safe non-stick pieces, and on the outside, due to its stainless steel finish.

They could’ve called it the “Keurig Bookshelf” but went with K-Mini instead. This single-serve coffeemaker brews K-Cup pods between 6 and 12 ounces and fits mugs or travel cups up to 7-inches tall. The best bonuses for this type of coffee are the ability to get a single, high-quality cup of coffee easily, the high level of convenience that comes with it, and its small size. At less than 5-inches wide and under a foot tall, it’s like an oversized book. Stick it on your bookshelf for the perfect coffeeshop reading experience at home!

If this thought pattern sounds normal (or you have a large family) this coffeemaker from Ninja will make your day brighter. With a pot that can be filled with up to 14 cups of caffeinated goodness on your schedule, you’ll be super delighted with your caffeine intake throughout the day. And, it has an environmentally-friendly reusable filter to help you undo the damage caused from your K-Cup days.

Fall will soon become winter, and outdoor barbecues will have to end. That doesn’t mean you have to stop grilling. The Ninja Sizzle Smokeless Countertop Grill allows you to bring the party inside. It can reach temperature of 500 degrees, so you can sear and char much better than on standard stovetop. It’s able to eliminate smoke because of its perforated top lid. You may still need to turn on your kitchen fan, but you won’t be setting the smoke alarm off.

This is a pressure cooker that uses a variety of technologies to create a unique cooking experience that you’ll likely love. It can pressure cook, steam, sear, sauté, work as a sous vide, steam, crisp, air fry, and more. A lot of that has to do with its adaptable SmartLid, the rest the interior and a little bit of Ninja magic. The options can almost be overwhelming — imagine making yogurt and bread in the same device — so Ninja has an included, chef-created recipe book and cooking charts to help kickstart your imagination.

If you think of a blender as a “smoothie maker” you should seriously rethink the capabilities of the device. The Ninja Mega Kitchen Blender does a whole lot more. It can mix dough, chop veggies, mince, grind, and juice. And, no matter what cooking knives you use, at 72 ounces, that’s going to take a lot of work off your hands. The Ninja Mega Kitchen System 72-ounce Blender is made of BPA-free plastic and has six stainless steel blades. It operates at three speeds.

It’s increasingly common to have at least somebody in the group that’s vegetarian, vegan, or has some sort of food sensitivity. In the past, this often meant somebody getting left out of the best parts of the meal. With Ninja’s dual zone air fryer, you can get your food in one half and theirs in the other half. Who knows, maybe you’ll like what they’re getting as well? You can experiment with these plant based protein sources or, if everybody is on the same diet, go for a more classic chicken and fries. It is your choice!

Anova WiFi Precision Pro Sous Vide Cooker — $280, was $400

For large batches of food that need to be heated to a precise temperature, the Anova Wifi Precision Cooker Pro will suit your needs well. It can heat up to 100L of liquid to a precise temperature (within 0.09 degrees Fahrenheit) up to a scalding 197 degrees. Once you’ve got it in the pot, you don’t have to hover around it, either, as there is a WiFi connection that will help you take a digital peek at your dish’s progress. But what we really like about the Anova is how durable it is. For one thing, it uses a brushless motor. If you’ve got all the tools you need, you probably know just how long brushless motors last. You’ll likely be even more impressed by the head, however, which can handle a fall off the table or even being dropped into your soup. In other words, this is a one-time buy for perfect liquid temps for years and years to come.

A guide to destination drinking
A more authentic imbibing experience that explores origin stories
Glass, Alcohol, Beer

These days, it's not enough to pour a product. What splashes in the glass needs a good story, preferably one involving genuine sustainability efforts or a cool new hop variety. Moreover, that liquid becomes all the more intriguing when it reflects its origin, whether that's a coastal gin made with local botanicals and seaweed or a seasonal Georgian beer brewed with ripe peaches.

Wine may have capitalized on the concept of terroir but it certainly didn't invent it. There's an element of place in all of agriculture, meaning there are distinctive flavors tied to Nevada-grown whiskey grains and Washington state hops, destined to be showcased in an India Pale Ale.

Rotisserie chicken is back and better than ever
Slow-turned birds are back, baby
Rotisserie chicken at ROSTO.

What goes around comes around, again and again. Certainly the culinary world knows as much, just consider the slow food movement or even a good Cosmopolitan cocktail recipe, back in its best forms since, well, the 90s. The latest thing to reemerge is slow-cooked chicken on a spit.

Yes, rotisserie is back and arguably better than ever. Like most things, the epicenter of the movement is taking place in New York City, but it's spread to other food-friendly towns, from Portland to Providence. Maybe we never wanted to let the style go. Maybe we're reliant on a relatively cheap protein in this wobbly economy. Regardless, there's no denying the deeply comforting sensation that is chowing down on some.

How to make a Batanga, a delightfully simple tequila cocktail

The Batanga cocktail.

Do you know your Mexican cocktail recipes? Sure, you can make a bartender-grade Margarita or Paloma, but what about the lesser-known agave spirit drinks? Meet the Batanga, a simple yet satisfying drink featuring Mexico's most iconic spirit.

This drink goes back to the early 60s in Mexico. It's a bit like a Cuba Libre cocktail, taking advantage of some soda. Our recipe comes from Flecha Azul and is essentially a three-ingredient cocktail.
