It’s clear that smart ovens aren’t a mere flash in the pan, so if you’re looking to get in the game but haven’t yet, the Breville Joule Oven Air Fryer Pro geared toward novice cooks is top rated and extremely on sale — so on sale that it’s down to its Black Friday price over at Amazon, making it the perfect time to pick one up.

This Breville smart oven isn’t cheap, but it can teach you how to cook, thanks to its simplified controls and wealth of features.


From $400 at Amazon


Our pick for the best overall smart oven is full of great functions that can help those who are just diving into cooking whip up a variety of recipes with ease. While there are a few physical nobs and buttons, the app is a wealth of knowledge and your main command center, with guided steps to take you through each part of preparing and cooking your food. Choose from recipes searchable in the app, whether you’re searching by primary ingredient or meal type.

However, outside the app, the functionality of the machine is limited since manual controls mostly drive use, so those more experienced home cooks who like to go a bit off-piste or get creative with recipes might prefer to opt for the Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro, also on sale at Amazon, which offers the same great performance as the Joule but with fewer connected features.

That said, The Breville Joule works great for its intended audience — beginning cooks — so if you want to develop your skills in the kitchen, it’s worth getting while it’s on sale right now. A deal like this only comes around once (or, well, twice) a year.
