While restaurants were open to diners this year, people were still cooking at home and getting adventurous in the kitchen. For some, that meant investing in their kitchen appliances, such as air fryers, to open up more possibilities in their cooking.
As Select readers sought out air fryers, several brands released new options for shoppers to pick from this year. Actress Drew Barrymore launched her new homeware line, Beautiful, with Walmart in the spring and, in December, debuted a new air fryer. Prosenic released a smart, Wi-Fi enabled air fryer, and Instant launched a whole new line of air fryers. Ninja launched a pressure cooker with an air fry setting. CRUX introduced the CRUXGG line of kitchenware, which included an air fryer among products like a waffle maker, indoor grill and more.
