The only thing better than a multi-use kitchen tool is one that's on sale, and today's daily deal excels on both counts. The Breville Smart Oven Air is a lot of things—an air-fryer, convection oven, toaster, broiler, dehydrator, and proofing drawer—and it fits on your counter. Granted, it might take up a lot space, but it'll fit nonetheless. Plus, in our round-up of the six best air fryers on Amazon, this one was one of our favorites. It's a great air fryer, but it also does much more.
The secret to this oven's versatility is two-speed convection. Its "Super Convection" setting turns up the fan speed to give you faster, more even and energy-efficient cooking. At high temperatures, that makes it an air fryer, and at low, a dehydrator. But before you get too excited at the prospect of making golden brown French fries at home, remember that air frying isn’t actually frying—it uses high heat and fan-circulated air to give you the crisp exterior and moist interior you know from traditionally fried foods, with much less oil. Still mind-blowing.
The final piece of the puzzle is the oven's independent heating elements, which let you crank the bottom heat to get a perfect pizza crust while easing off the top-down heat for the toppings. And while the oven’s capacity is much less than a conventional oven, convection means you can pack it full—Breville claims it fits a 14-pound turkey, so you can free up space in your main oven for sides. Or more pies.
The Breville Smart Oven Air has 100 reviews on Amazon, with a 4.6-star average rating. Its original price is a hefty $340, but that’s fitting for its multitude of functions, and currently it’s $80 off. You've got plenty of time to get it home and become a convection oven pro well before Thanksgiving.
