The humble air fryer is now considered the fourth most popular cooking appliance in the United States.

But the handy kitchen gadget isn’t the only cooking staple that’s hot on our Christmas lists this year - and people are starting to take note. Yep, it seems the supremacy of the air fryer is being challenged by another countertop kitchen gadget, the Halogen Oven.

The device uses a halogen lightbulb to cook food in a small glass bowl underneath it.

Typically the device is made up of a basket on the outside to stop you burning yourself, then a glass bowl.

The devices have been suggested by many as a cheaper alternative to the air fryer, and right now, there’s a hot deal on the countertop Nuwave Pro Plus 2 Infra-Red convection oven.

This versatile device promotes healthy cooking and gets food from the freezer to your plate in minutes.

Even the most air fryer-obsessed culinary wizzes are giving it a go - and with an average 4.5 rating on Amazon, it’s just as loved.

You can now grab the Nuwave Pro Plus 2 Infra-Red convection oven for 30 percent of its regular listing price, thanks to Amazon’s early Black Friday sale.

So, instead of forking out $179.99 for the favored item, you can snag it for just $125.99 instead.

What’s so special about the Nuwave Pro Plus 2 Infra-Red convection oven?

Nuwave has been the pioneering figure of countertop cooking appliances for two decades.

Drawing on that wealth of experience, the Nuwave Pro Plus 2 Infra-Red convection oven was designed to make meal times faster, healthier and an experience like never before.

With 100 pre-programmed menus, it’s never been easier to cook up a storm in the kitchen and impress your friends with tried-and-tested classics.

You can perfectly cook everything from waffles to rare stakes in your family-sized Nuwave device, as well as a 10lb turkey, burgers and even delicious delights like cinnamon rolls and cookies.

The Amazon listing also states that the Pro Plus 2 brings out the natural flavors of your proteins and vegetables.

This is by utilizing triple combination cooking technology and a powerful 4.5-inch convection fan, which work in harmony to eradicate excess fat drippings.

The $125.99 item also features a shatter-resistant dome, an easy-to-read display and allows culinary kings and queens to save and recall their own family recipes.

Amazon reviewers are gushing about the Nuwave Pro Plus 2 online

One reviewer, who has used NuWave products for years, commented that they once sought to swap it out for an air fryer.

“Since air fryers have become a ‘recent’ trend, I looked for one but realized that buying a new NuWave would be the best for me,” they explained.

“Except for a few new features, it works just like my old one and so it was really easy to adapt my recipes and cook times.”

A second Amazon user commented: “I use this more than my oven. Doesn't heat up the kitchen. Cooks quick and easy. Bought this to replace my old one that finally died.”

“This is my third Nuwave Oven in the last 15 years and this one is by far the Best One Ever!! It works perfectly every time I use it,” gushed someone else.

“It cooks my foods exactly as they are needed and the clean up is so easy. I highly recommend this item!!”

Another reviewer said: “Use this almost everyday! Other air fryers are to compact. This is more open and spacious and you're able to see your food cook. Had the 1st gen and now the 2nd best one you can get.”
