Potionomics makes chucking a bunch of teeth into a cauldron feel great
You know, I always figured I’d be great at making potions. As a kid, I was obsessed with pulling things out of cupboards and combining them into a bowl. Shampoo, bubble bath and toothpaste. Salad cream, yeast and lemonade. These concoctions were the result of pure genius, a brilliant mind capable of harmonising with ingredients on a sub-atomic level to create combinations that were beyond the capabilities of any known god. My Mam was only shouting at me because she didn’t understand. These were my elixirs! Sup from this bowl and taste the future of human evolution! Yes, I know this is the same bowl we’re also sick into when we’re not feeling well, but you also bake in it so let’s not start being picky.
As I got older, It became apparent my future was not in alchemy. Someone who puts baby corn into a bolognese clearly doesn’t posses the skill to create balanced mixtures. And yet, Potionomics has wrenched the rotting corpse of that childhood fantasy right out of its grave. Finally, here is a suitable outlet for my feats of fantastical alchemy.

The internet has been talking your ear off about air fryers for years, and maybe you’ve finally decided to perform your own hype test — but not at full price, of course.
Whether you settle on a basic basket design, one that doubles as a toaster oven, or one that can replace a handful of countertop appliances depends on a few things: counter space, how many people you’re cooking for, and how much you’ll realistically use functions outside of air frying. We’ve separated these air fryers and multicookers by category below.

Our pick: Cosori Pro LE air fryer (5-quart)
(opens in a new tab)
Why we like it
At the end of the day, air fryers are supposed to be easy to use, and the Cosori Pro LE is one of the easiest out there. The nine touch functions really let you set and forget your food (until it’s ready, of course), while the basket can hold portions for up to four people. After you’re done cooking, you can pop the basket in the air fryer. And when it’s not in use, the minimalist design and tempered glass won’t be an eyesore on your kitchen counter.

Our pick: Ninja Foodi 8-in-1 digital air fry oven
(opens in a new tab)
Why we like it
The biggest drawback of oven-style air fryers is the kitchen real estate they take up. The Ninja Foodi oven air fryer provides a solution with easy flip-up storage, all while having the capacity to bake a 13-inch pizza, toast a couple of bagels, and air fry whatever foods your heart desires.

CHRISTOPHER STEVENS reviews last night’s TV: Killer show murdered by a bunch of non-entities
Whoops! The latest Destiny 2 hotfix deleted a bunch of incredibly hard-to-earn achievements
A bunch of 2022 Sony TVs are on sale right now
Now is around the time of year when we start to see price drops on last year’s TVs, after most brands introduce their sets for the forthcoming year at events like CES and subsequently need to clear out inventory on their older, but often still worthwhile, models. Sony is one manufacturer that hasn’t revealed its 2023 lineup just yet, but even still, a number of the company’s 2022 TVs are currently discounted across multiple retailers.
The highlight of the bunch is Sony’s X95K, which is down to $1,798 for a 65-inch model and $2,498 for a 75-inch set. Neither deal is exactly cheap, but both prices represent new all-time lows, coming in about $200 and $500 below the two models’ respective street prices in recent months.
While we don’t review many TVs here at Engadget, the X95K has received strong reviews from our peers at Rtings, Tom’s Guide and the like. It’s a Mini LED display, which generally gives it greater contrast than most traditional LED panels and higher brightness than a typical OLED TV. This should help it perform well with HDR content in particular, though you might see a blooming effect around particularly bright objects. Beyond that, it has four HDMI ports, two of which are HDMI 2.1 and can output a 4K resolution at up to 120 Hz. For gaming, it also supports variable refresh rate, and the whole thing runs on the Google TV interface.
To be clear, this is a crowded market, and the X95K isn’t the best choice for everyone. Samsung’s S95B OLED TV has been widelypraised for offering an OLED panel that offers typically excellent contrast without sacrificing as much in the way of peak brightness. A 65-inch model of that set is currently available for $200 more, though it’s worth noting that it lacks 75-inch variant and Dolby Vision support.
LG’s C2 TV isn’t as well-suited to bright rooms, but it should still be a great option for those who’d prefer an OLED panel, and its 65-inch set is currently $100 less than the X95K’s equivalent. Hisense’s U8H looks to offer similar Mini LED performance at a lower price, too. And if you don’t need a new set right now, many of the TVs announced for later this year are focusing onimproved brightness, and we’ll likely see prices on last year’s models drop further over the next couple of months.
Nevertheless, if brightness is your main concern and you’ve had your eye on Sony’s set in particular, this is as cheap as we’ve seen it. Besides the X95K, other deals of note from the sale include the high-end A95K OLED TV back down to $2,498 and the mid-range X90K available for $898. We’ve seen those deals before, but both match the lowest prices we’ve seen. Lower-tier models like the X80K and X85K are also discounted, though those are harder to recommend since they lack local dimming.

A Bunch Of Nintendo Switch Games And Accessories Are Discounted This Week
The busy holiday season has come to an end, and with it so too have many of the best video game deals. If you’re still in the market for a new game or accessory, however, there are still dozens of worthwhile Switch deals up for grab in January. Whether you need a new controller or want to kick off 2023 with a deep RPG, there’s bound to be something that catches your eye. We’ve rounded up the best Nintendo Switch deals available now.
Pokemon Scarlet and Violet are two of the most popular Switch games on the market right now, and both are seeing a slight discount. You can pick up Scarlet for $51 or Violet for $53, both down from their usual $60. There are a few technical issues you’ll have to work through (such as awkward bugs and performance issues), but Pokemon fans will find much to love about the sprawling world of Paldea.
Prefer to keep it old-school? Be sure to check out Pokemon Brilliant Diamond, which is on sale for just $35, down from $50.
Beyond Pokemon games, other notable Switch titles on sale include Sonic Frontiers for $40, Breath of the Wild for $40, and Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope for $40. If you’re looking for a challenge, consider picking up Metroid Dread while it’s listed for $45. Not only did it pull in a stellar 8/10 in our Metroid Dread review, but this is one of the better prices we’ve seen for the game since it launched in 2021.
Games aren’t the only thing on sale right now, as you’ll find a bunch of accessories and collectibles with big price cuts. This includes a number of Pokemon items, a few premium travel cases, and pro gamepads with exclusive designs.

Wake up, honey, a bunch of Breville espresso machines are on sale
SAVE UP TO 20%: As of Dec. 2, Amazon has marked down the prices on a bunch of Breville espresso makers, from top tier to more budget-friendly models.
-
OUR TOP PICK: The Breville Bambino Plus Espresso Machine offers many perks of a full-espresso machine, while being an excellent space- and money-saving alternative — $399.95
$499.95(save $100)
Picture this: it’s a cold winter morning, and your alarm clock went off a little earlier than you’d like — but you’re able to get yourself out of bed thanks to the promise of a homemade latte made with your shining stainless steel espresso machine. Sounds dreamy, right?
Now you can make those dreams a reality. As of Dec. 2, seven different Breville espresso machines are on sale for up to $220 off at Amazon and on Breville’s website. Though they’re still a decent upfront investment, there are both higher and lower-end Breville machines available, meaning you won’t have to shell out $800 to score an espresso maker that’s built to last (milk frother included).
With so many options, it can be hard to narrow down which machine might be best for you. We’ve pulled a top pick (and a couple tips on what other machines you might want to go for), but thanks to this sale, you’ll score a pretty good deal no matter which machine you choose.
OUR TOP PICK: Breville Bambino Plus Espresso Machine — $399.95 (save $100)

Breville Bambino Plus Espresso Machine
(opens in a new tab)
Why we like it
Espresso machines, especially for beginners, can be a little on the intimidating side. The Bambino Plus takes much of the guesswork out of making a pro barista-worthy beverage. The ThermoJet heating system gets your machine ready to pour shots three seconds afters it’s turned on, and a nine bar extraction process gets you espresso that tastes great. A simple press of a button will prepare you one or two shots, and you won’t have to refill the machine each time thanks to its water reservoir.
For those who enjoy lattes or other milky beverages, you can set the stream to one of several automatic settings, so you get perfectly velvety milk every time. (You lose this feature on the slightly more budget-friendly Bambino). If you’re looking for a similar experience plus a built-in grinder, the Express might be the way to go for you. And if you want the most hands-off experience, the Touch Espresso machine could be your pick — though you’ll pay a premium for it.
