Amazon Prime Day is just around the corner (FYI, it's July 12 and 13!), and that means this is one of the best times of year for finding great deals and sales on a ton of kitchen essentials. If you have been eyeing an air fryer, now would be a great time to pick one up.

In case you don't know: an air fryer is one of the best appliances to have in your kitchen because it's very easy to use and it can make food crispy with little to no oil. Not only does an air fryer use less fat and grease, but it also helps cook food in a fraction of the time. "Air fryers are fast, and once you understand how they work, they can be used to heat frozen foods or cook all sorts of fresh food like chicken, steak, pork chops, salmon and veggies," says Nicole Papantoniou, Director of the Good Housekeeping Institute's Kitchen Appliances & Culinary Innovation Lab.
