Sur La Table Philips Premium Airfryer XXL
Savor the crispy taste of delicious food that’s fried, baked, grilled or roasted, without using excess oil and fat, when you cook with the Philips Premium Airfryer XXL, exclusive to Sur La Table. Using hot-air circulation, this Philips Airfryer can prepare up to 3 lbs. of food, from a whole chicken to two bags of frozen fries or up to six portions of your favorite dish, all at one time. While food cooks, fat is also being removed via the Airfryer’s Twin Turbostar technology, which captures fat for easy removal — and as a bonus, the Airfryer accomplishes its task without the annoying and lingering smell of fried oil. Cleanup is also a breeze, as the removable non-stick mesh basket and removable drawer are both dishwasher safe.

Tory Burch’s stylish double-T logo has been combined with an oversized ergonomic sole for comfort and lift and a deep ankle scoop that elongates and flatters the leg in these Good Luck Trainers, which also highlight the New York-based designer’s love of symbols that celebrate good fortune. The latter is seen here in the wishbone embedded on the shoe’s sole, which also acts as a cambrion and reinforces the shoe’s internal support system. Crafted of nylon, suede and leather with a mesh lining, the Good Luck Trainer is available in several colors and seen here in a soothing neutral blend of French Pearl, Dulce de Leche and Biscotti hues.

The wide feed chute accepts most fruits and vegetables without pre-cutting, while a two-stage, low-speed system crushes food before pressing to produce the highest yield. A chrome-plated, drip-free Smart Cap also allows the user to create custom juice blends with easy rinsing between recipes. All parts disassemble for easy cleaning, while the juicer also comes with three cleaning tools and a recipe book.
