If you've been following the Internet at all in the last year, you know that everyone has suddenly become obsessed with air fryers. I'm not one to get excited about new gadgets, much less one designed to be used in the kitchen. I was not alone: this versatile device became a popular gadget among seasoned home chefs and culinary novices alike. It even got its own place on my own countertop. The Instant Pot Instant Vortex 4-in-1 Air Fryer (opens in new tab) is on sale right now on Amazon.

Originally priced at about $60, this adorable two-quart air fryer is now on sale for $45. And thanks to Amazon's Prime delivery feature, it will be at your door before Thanksgiving dinner approaches. This gives me plenty of time to learn how to actually use it and figure out how it can help me make my assigned side dish for the year. Let's be honest, why use pots and pans when you don't have to? The Instant Pot's four-in-one gadget can not only fry, but also bake, roast, and reheat. Leftover dishes are guaranteed to never be the same. I can assure you that you will want to eat them instead of ordering them.

Like the original Instant Pot (opens in new tab), the Instant Vortex 4-in-1 Air Fryer is incredibly easy to use. With customizable cooking programs to suit any mood, you can simply set it to go on busy weeknights, connect to the Instant Pot smartphone app, and enjoy over 1,500 new recipes! You don't even have to use the oven to crisp up chicken wings or heat up cinnamon buns for dessert. The Air Fryer is designed to cook with 95% less oil than other cooking methods thanks to the Instant Pot's genius Even Crisp technology.

But if you're wary of adding yet another utensil to your space, know that the Instant Vortex is designed with small kitchens in mind. A big advantage for someone like me who lives in a small studio apartment, this two-quart air fryer is only 9 inches wide and 11 inches tall. That means it can be placed on any countertop or easily stored in a cabinet, and in over 400 five-star reviews, several users say this air fryer is easy to clean.
