If you haven’t already made the switch to cooking with an air fryer versus firing up your entire oven anytime the craving for crispy fried seafood arises, it’s time to get with the program. Not that there’s anything wrong with taking the time to let your oven preheat, allowing you time to prep your dishes and ingredients before placing them into the oven to cook, but when the mission is dinner in less than 30 minutes, the oven just won’t cut it. Besides, you still have to watch your dinner and make sure you rotate or flip your food to ensure even browning and maximum crispness.

That’s where the air fryer comes in. The staple countertop appliance is democratizing and allows even the smallest of kitchens to produce stellar results in record time. Best of all, you don’t have to risk turning your entire home into a sauna just to make a single serving of french fries or crispy Brussels sprouts.
In short, the air fryer is the appliance of the future and these days, everyone has one—even my grandma. Of course, if you don’t, no need to worry, Aldi has just the thing. And if we’re being honest, we might change out our old outdated one for this sleek upgrade on the cult-favorite kitchen gadget.

The budget-friendly grocery chain added a sleek 3.7-quart Digital Air Fryer by their in-house Ambiano line to shelves, and at just $39.99, we might walk out with two. This genius countertop hero comes in a luxe matte black colorway and features an easy-to-use digital display that makes getting dinner on the table as easy as setting it and letting it go.
The air fryer also boasts a whopping eight preprogramed functions, perfect for making fries, bacon, chicken, cake, steak, vegetables, fish and even dehydrated goods with ease. Can your oven do all that? Technically yes, but you get the point.
Besides, it’s hard to argue with healthier food cooked in less fat that still manages to be satisfyingly crisp without all the bulk of heating up the entire oven. Consider us influenced.
