As soon as the year struck September, my kitchen turned into a garden produce triage unit.

Tomatoes are stacked in bowls, peppers are spilling across the counter, herbs are hanging upside down from every bit of cabinet hardware -- it's abundance with a side of overwhelm. In coming across the CHEFMAN Multifunctional Digital Air Fryer+ Rotisserie and Dehydrator, I felt like I'd found the antidote.

It's a single device that can preserve, crisp, and reinvent whatever the garden (or overzealous grocery haul) throws at us. And right now it's 36% off on Amazon, down to under $90.

What makes this machine especially appealing to me is its range. On one setting, it's a dehydrator turning basil into spice blends, apples into chips, zucchini into something you'll actually be able to eat in January. Switch the function and it becomes an air fryer, delivering the kind of perfectly crisp fries or cauliflower bites that make you forget about takeout. Then there's the rotisserie mode, which is the kind of feature I'd expect in a restaurant kitchen rather than a countertop appliance.

Winter is coming, but so are fall harvests, holiday bakes, and family-sized batches of soup, for that matter. Get prepared for all ASAP for less...while you can.

The CHEFMAN is an air fryer, a rotisserie, a convection oven, and a dehydrator all wrapped up in one sleek little package. From homemade jerky for camping trips, apple chips for snacking, herb blends for soups, and yes, perfectly crispy fries, this machine can achieve it all.

It's got intuitive digital controls, multiple cooking functions, and enough interior space to handle family-sized batches, so you can knock out big preservation projects in one go. At $89.99 (down from $139.99), it's basically a three-for-one deal, and the kind of kitchen ally that pays for itself after a few grocery trips.
