Ninja Woodfire 8-in-1 Outdoor Oven ($300, originally $400)

Ninja’s latest cooking innovation is an impressive wood-fired outdoor oven. The electric heat can range from 105-700°F with eight different functions: pizza, max roast, specialty roast, broil, bake, smoker, dehydrate, and keep warm. It might look smaller than a regular oven, but it can fit plenty: up to a 12-pound turkey, a full sheet pan meal, a nine-pound pork shoulder, and more. There is an integrated smoke box on the side of the oven to add Ninja’s real wood pellets that instantly infuse food with that wood-fired flavor.

Editor Quote: “If you like to entertain, this outdoor oven is an absolute must. The fact that you can make both homemade pizzas, a rack of ribs, or brownies in the same device is beyond impressive. I was lucky enough to test out the product, and not only did all types of foods cook faster than they would have in a traditional oven, but there was zero compromise on taste or quality. As a pizza-lover, my favorite feature is that the product can make either New York style, Neapolitan, thin crust, pan, or frozen on the pizza stone in under three minutes. The options are limitless!” — Perri Konecky, former associate director, Breaking News
