Our favorite Ninja Air Fryer is the $50 discount on Prime Day

For many, summer means it’s time to grill outdoors. But the cooking inside means at least you may be dealing with fewer errors. This also makes it easier to try new kitchen equipment, such as the Ninja Air Fries that will be sold before Prime Day. The Ninja Foodi Dual-Zone 10 Quart Air Fryer is available for $50, and enjoy $50 to $180.

This is not the record low price of the model. However, it’s still a good price this time of year, about five months from Black Friday.

The DZ401 is one of our favorite aerial deep-frying stations. Actually, this is the best dual-zone fryer we chose. It heats up quickly and runs quietly, but the real selling point here is the double basket setup. If you cook regularly or regularly cook for several people, the Ninja Foodi DZ401 can be a game-changer.

There are two baskets that can be used to prepare completely different foods at the same time in different cooking modes – you can’t do that on the grill. You can also use the Match Cook feature to prepare two baskets of food in the same way.

A very useful feature called Smart Finish can automatically adjust cooking time so that food in both baskets (maybe you have one protein, another vegetable) can be ready at the same time. This should help you avoid waiting for one basket to fall down while the other basket gets cold.

On the downside, this is a machine that will take up a considerable proportion of counter space, so it won’t be an ideal choice for a small kitchen. But if you can make room, the Ninja Foodi DZ401 could be a valuable addition to your setup.
