  I highlighted this deal in my ‘Lowest Prices Ever’ article, and it’s worth re-upping here because this blender is awesome and highly discounted for a limited time (read: until tonight!). The tall blender jar creates a powerful vortex that can tackle even the hardiest of foods (homemade peanut butter, anyone?) and has a simple variable speed system. Plus, it comes with a seven-year full warranty, which is rare these days.

  The Best Air Fryer Toaster Oven: Breville the Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro

  $400 $350 at Amazon

  This is the toaster oven air fryer my colleagues and I swear by; I’ve had it for over a year, and it’s my go-to for weeknight dinners. I love how easy it is to program—the temperature and time can be adjusted in single-digit increments. The super convection feature cuts down on cooking time, often shaving off 10 minutes. 

  I Tested 26 Toaster Ovens and Found 6 for All Your Toasting, Roasting, and Air-Frying Needs

  A Comprehensive Non-Toxic Cookware Set: GreenPan 22-Piece Valencia Pro Nonstick Cookware Set

  $600 $400 at Amazon

  We tested the smaller sibling of this set of nonstick, non-toxic pots and pans. It seared, stewed, and boiled without issue in our tests, and it stayed scratch-free after we went at it with a metal spatula. We liked the subtly curved handles, too. This discounted set includes more than the 11-count set we tested, but still has the same standard pieces.

  A Beautiful Braiser for Soup Season: Le Creuset Enameled Cast Iron Signature Braiser

  $220 $170 at Amazon

  Braisers are shallower than Dutch ovens, which makes them great for, you guessed it, braising. Their wide interiors and curved sides are also nice for a seared meat and pan sauce situation, like steak Diane. Our favorite, tough-as-nails enameled cast iron Le Creuset braiser is on sale for Amazon Prime Day, but not for long.

  A Stellar Ceramic Skillet: OXO Ceramic Nonstick 12-Inch Frying Pan

  $60 $51 at Amazon

  Everyone is looking for Teflon-free, nonstick skillets these days, among other non-toxic swaps. And while I’d be more inclined to steer you towards stainless steel or carbon steel, they’re not truly nonstick. This ceramic skillet from OXO actually is, though, but there aren’t any harmful chemicals making it that way. It aced our tests: fried eggs slid off with a flick of our spatula, and even notoriously tricky crepes emerged beautiful and tear-free. 

  We Spent Weeks Testing 14 Nonstick Skillets and Still Don’t Think You Should Spend a Ton on One

• 
  

  A Slushi Machine That’s Actually Really Fun: Ninja Slushi

  $350 $300 at Amazon

  I test a lot of gear and remain wary of anything too out-there—do you really need an avocado pitter? So when I got my hands on the Ninja Slushi, I approached it with skepticism. But after making frappes, cider slushies, frozen Painkillers, and more, I discovered this was a really fun machine. Plus, it actually performed well: The resulting slushies had the perfect creamy-but-icy texture. It’s great for parties—who doesn’t want frosé on tap?

  The Best Budget Food Processor: Cuisinart 14-Cup Food Processor

  $320 $213 at Amazon

  This Cuisinart food processor is a powerful, peppy little appliance. The blade grinds and pulverizes with ease, resulting in perfectly emulsified mayonnaise and lusciously smooth pesto. It has two buttons: on and pulse, which is a welcome, simple UI in a sea of gadgets with too many knobs. This food processor is rarely on sale, and now that it’s almost $100 off, we recommend considering it. 

  Pulse! Pulverize! These Are the 7 Best Food Processors

  An Affordable Dutch Oven: Lodge 6-Quart Enameled Dutch Oven 

  $100 $78 at Amazon

  When I tested Dutch ovens, this one from Lodge became a winner because of its spacious interior, which browned meat deeply. It’s great at stewing and braising, and the wide knob on the lid makes it easy to pop the top. It’s currently at one of the best prices I’ve seen, making what was already a good deal on a Dutch oven even better.

  The Best Wok: Yosukata Carbon Steel Wok

  $65 $57 at Amazon

  A big, carbon steel wok is all the difference between stir-fry that’s just a pile of vegetables and meat and stir-fry that has wok hei, a.k.a the breath of the wok. (Insert Enya song here.) But for real, getting the wok blisteringly hot gives food a certain metallic heat, a whiff of blacksmithery. This wok from Yosukata breathed heavily in our tests, imbuing food with that magical je ne sais quoi. The angled wooden handle stayed cool during cooking, which we appreciated too. Make sure to toggle the coupon to get the full deal!

  A Stainless Steel Cookware Set We Actually Recommend: All-Clad D3 3-Ply Stainless Steel Cookware Set

Our team has long loved All-Clad’s D3 stainless steel line for its responsiveness and durability. This cookware set sticks to the essentials, providing a variety of pots and pans that you’ll actually use. While it ain’t cheap, it’s currently $100 off.

  A good oven mitt can make all the difference between a beautiful <insert baked good here> and one that tumbles from your grasp onto the floor (sad!). They also keep your hands safe, which is kinda a big deal. Our winner from OXO has silicone grips that ensure a proper grasp, and also keep your digits nice and cool. It's one sale for a limited time, so best snag two.

  A Deep Fryer Worth Its Weight in Fried Chicken Tenders: All-Clad Electric Deep Fryer

  $250 $200 at Amazon

  I am a chicken tender fanatic, and to stop feeding my Chili’s habit (its chicken crispers are the best), I’ve long considered investing in an electric deep fryer—specifically, this one from All-Clad. It has been our winner throughout multiple batches of frying; everything comes out evenly golden brown and crunchy. It’s also easy to clean, which makes frying all the more accessible.

  This tumbler is anything but tippy and dribbly.

  The Only Kitchen Scale I'd Buy: OXO Good Grips 11-Pound Stainless Steel Kitchen Scale

No other home scale I've tried can handle up to 11 pounds—and you'd be surprised by how many times you need to weigh heavy things when cooking. Suffice it to say, I'd highly recommend getting this OXO scale while it's discounted for Prime Day.

  A Pre-Seasoned Carbon Steel Pan Under $40: Merten & Storck Pre-Seasoned 10-Inch Carbon Steel Frying Pan

  $50 $35 at Amazon

  This is a great deal! Carbon steel pans are a chef’s secret weapon; the Remy hidden under a chef's hat, one might say. That perfectly seared filet mignon with truffle bearnaise you ordered last Thursday? Probably made in a carbon steel skillet. They get hot fast, are lighter than cast iron, and are durable as heck. This one from Merten & Storck comes pre-seasoned, too, which’ll save your kitchen from being clogged by a cloud of smoke.
