Wirecutter - The best air fryers

A black, pod-shaped Philips Premium Airfryer placed on a white kitchen counter beside a stainless steel Cuisinart Chef’s Convection Toaster Oven.

It’s state fair season. While we don’t necessarily suggest building your own butter sculpture at home, we do have some recommendations that will make it easy to fry your own delectables and enjoy a taste of the festival from the comfort of your own kitchen.

Armed with our favorite cast-iron skillets and dutch ovens, we teamed up with our friends at NYT Cooking to prepare some crispy corn dogs and grilled cheese sandwiches. For a sweet finisher, here’s how to use our air fryer picks to make funnel cakes (without the oil).

Why we love the Sony MDR-7506 Headphones

Beloved by audiophiles and casual users alike, these Sony headphones sound like they should cost a lot more than they do. Right now, you can get them for an even better price.
