How air fryers really work is like magic, creating fried food wonders without the work, the hot oil, or the leftover grease. Air fryers work via convection, spreading a superheated breeze over prepared food. A heating element generates and circulates this hot air via a fan placed on top of the air fryer. Hot air wafts over fries, tater tots, chicken, and other tasty vittles that are stacked in a perforated food basket, giving them a crispy, fried texture. No oil also means healthier eating and less fat in meals. 

When choosing an air fryer to purchase, you’ll find that basket fryers are much easier to clean than glass air fryers. The Chefman TurboFry also provides the necessary size to share fried food wonders with family and friends with its giant, eight-quart air frying basket. With little to no oil to deal with, the TurboFry’s square, stainless steel design looks sharp in the kitchen and its removable basket is dishwasher safe, providing for easy clean-up. The Chefman allows you to skip the microwave to reheat leftovers to perfection, bringing bring back that crunchy consistency and fried flavor even days later.  

 The Chefman TurboFry offers an easy time and temperature touchscreen with helpful presets to cook fries, chicken, meat, or fish at the push of a button. Temperatures are also adjustable and a 60-minute timer automatically shuts off once food is cooked, so you don’t have to worry about burning or drying out meals. And an LED shake reminder alerts you to agitate the basket to make sure food cooks evenly. 

All this is available for just $69 (a $31 discount), which is one incredible deal. Make sure to act fast, though, because supplies surely will not last. It is likely we’re going to see continued supply chain issues due to pandemic-precipitated factors, so it’s a smart move to jump ahead of lines during the holiday shopping season. Once the Chefman TurboMan Air Fryer is gone, Walmart will take the listing down, leaving would-be chefs air fryer-less.

The smoothest bourbons for fans new to the whiskey style
Let's take a deep dive into "smooth" bourbons
Buffalo Trace

In some whiskey circles, the word “smooth” is considered to be a bad term to describe bourbon. That’s because it’s thought to be a little too vague and doesn’t really describe the spirit at all. Obviously, its simplicity doesn’t do the whiskey style justice.

But if you ask me, there’s no better, simpler way to describe America’s “native spirit” if you’re a beginner. There are a variety of reasons why bourbon is referred to as “smooth,” and I’m not here to shame drinkers if they want to use the phrase. Especially novice drinkers who are just learning the terminology. That said, if you’re new to whiskey, there are countless smooth, gateway bourbons perfectly crafted to get you started on your corn-based journey.

These new Maker’s Mark city bottles are worth a layover
Maker's Mark's new limited-edition bottles celebrate eleven cities around the world — but they're sold only in airports.
Alcohol, Beverage, Liquor

Pretty much everyone can spot a Maker's Mark bottle across the bar. The squat shape, the red wax bleeding down the neck — you don't need to read the label.

That's why it's actually worth checking out their Artist Series, where the City Edition puts artist Alexandra Pacula's work on eleven bottles for a slew of cities: New York, Los Angeles, Paris, London, Dubai, Delhi, Mumbai, Singapore, Seoul, Sydney, and Melbourne. Seem cool? There's a catch — it's airports only.

Nikka brings back a beloved 10-year single malt for the first time in a decade
Miyagikyo Single Malt 10 Years Old is the first age-statement release from the distillery since Japanese whisky's aged-stock crunch hit in 2015.
Whisky, bottle, label

Nikka Whisky is one of the most exciting names in Japanese whisky, so when they make a big announcement, it's almost always worth taking an interest. That's especially the case with the release of Miyagikyo Single Malt 10 Years Old, the flagship expression from its Miyagikyo Distillery — the fruit-forward, mountain-set second distillery Nikka built near Sendai, Japan, in 1969.

This release is the first age-statement Miyagikyo since 2015, and it follows the 2022 return of Yoichi Single Malt 10 Years Old, its coastal sibling. Bottled at 45% ABV, the 700ml release has a $174.99 price tag, so it's not exactly an impulse purchase — and with just 1,572 bottles available nationwide, tracking down a pour may be tough in the first place.
