Amazon’s October Prime Day Is Over, But These Thoroughly Vetted Kitchen Items Are Still On Sale
Serious Eats / Nick SimpsonPrime Big Deal Days may be over, but there are still some great discounts available. This includes all things kitchen, which is especially pertinent to us and likely you, if you’re reading this.We test kitchen gear all year, which makes us extremely qualified to find the best products that also happen to be on sale. Below, you’ll find 49 of our favorite October Prime Day deals you can still get, including an easy-to-use Breville espresso machine, an editor-loved toaster oven air fryer, and an inexpensive Dutch oven.The Best Espresso Machine for Beginners: Breville Barista Express Impress Espresso MachineAmazonThis is an outstanding espresso machine. With a built-in grinder, tamper, and smiley face that illuminates when the grounds level is correct, it’s ridiculously easy to use. It’s harder to make bad espresso with this model than it is to make really, truly good coffee. Right now, it’s $200 off.Serious Eats / Nick SimpsonThe Best Air Fryer Toaster Oven: Breville the Smart Oven Air Fryer ProAmazonIf you want a do-it-all toaster oven (toast, air-fry, bake, roast, broil!), this Breville model is the one to get. Its digital control panel and knobs make this oven easy to use, too. It's a Serious Eats editor-favorite, too, with many preferring it over their standard ovens. Right now, it's 25% off. This Breville oven (which lacks air-frying capabilities) is also on sale.Serious Eats / Nick SimpsonThe Best Kitchen Scale: OXO Stainless Steel Food Scale with Pull-Out DisplayAmazonWe rarely see this kitchen scale go on sale—and it's absolutely worth scooping up before holiday baking season. It's been our top pick for many years due to its accuracy, quick response time, easy conversions, and pull-out screen that's large and bright.Serious Eats / Ashlee RedgerThe Best Sous Vide Machine: Breville Joule TurboSerious Eats / AmazonWe rarely see our favorite sous vide machine on sale. The Breville Joule Turbo heats water quickly and quietly and keeps it at the same temperature no matter how long you're sous vide-ing for. Its magnetic base even keeps the Joule Turbo upright in compatible pots (like a Dutch oven). We also really love its app, which is packed with helpful recipes, tips, and videos.Serious Eats / Riddley Gemperlein-SchirmA Deeply Discounted Vitamix: Vitamix A3300 Ascent BlenderAmazonWith a touchscreen, LED display, a built-in timer, and container recognition, this is one snazzy blender. It works well, too, and is a good example of why we love Vitamix blenders: no matter which one you get, it's going to be wicked powerful.Serious Eats / Tamara StaplesOne of the Best Rice Cookers: Cuckoo Rice Cooker and WarmerAmazonThis is one of our longtime favorite rice cookers. If you want customization, it has it in spades. You can even tweak the cooking temperature! The Cuckoo looks pretty sleek, too. (While not our winner, this Zojirushi rice cooker is on sale and still very good.)Serious Eats / Alexander HuangAnother Excellent Breville Espresso Machine (with a Touchscreen!): Breville the Barista Touch Espresso MachineAmazonWe haven’t tried this specific model, but we’re huge fans of Breville’s espresso machines in general. This one has a built-in grinder and a touchscreen that’ll walk you through making all sorts of espresso drinks. It bears a very strong resemblance to our favorite touchscreen espresso machine from Breville, the Barista Touch Impress (which is also 20% off!).A Great, Budget-Friendly Wok: Joyce Chen Carbon Steel WokAmazonIn our tests, this wok has a smooth surface that nothing stuck to—not even fried eggs. We liked its wooden main and helper handles, both of which stayed fairly cool. Right now, it's 23% off.Serious Eats / Nick SimpsonThe Best Budget Blender: Breville The Fresh & Furious BlenderAmazonThis budget blender not only performs impressively, but it's a looker, too. We even liked some of its presets (like green smoothie and ice crush). For October Prime Day, all of its colors are on sale.Serious Eats / Will DickeyA Compact, Still Powerful Blender: Vitamix Explorian BlenderAmazonThis is another Vitamix deal worth considering. The Explorian has 10 speeds and an interface that strongly resembles the 5200. Its smaller capacity makes it a good starter blender. This on-sale model is certified refurbished.Serious Eats / Tamara StaplesThe Best Stand Mixers for Casual Bakers: KitchenAid Artisan Tilt-Head Stand MixerAmazonThis stand mixer is strong enough to whip, knead, mix, and beat most any baking recipe—and its tilt-head makes it easy to scrape down the mixer's bowl. For October Prime Day, it's $100 less. Our favorite bowl-lift stand mixer (also from KitchenAid!) is on rare sale, too.Serious Etas / Irvin LinOne of Our Favorite Air Fryers: Ninja Air FryerAmazonThis air fryer has a spacious basket that, in our tests, resulted in super crispy fries and wings. Its relatively small footprint makes it a good fit for a lot of households and we thought its control panel was labeled well and easy to use.Serious Eats / Russell KilgoreThe Best Pepper Mill: Peugeot Paris Pepper MillAmazonThis is our very favorite pepper mill. It’s even owned and adored by a few Serious Eats editors. The Peugeot has simple-to-adjust settings and a comfortable grip, and looks really sleek. In our tests, it showed impressive grind accuracy. It's currently nearly 50% off.Serious Eats / Abigail ClarkinA Super Powerful Sous Vide Machine: Anova Culinary Precision Cooker ProAmazonIf you’re looking for a ridiculously powerful and accurate sous vide machine that can be controlled via its onboard display and a compatible app, this discounted Anova model is the one to get. It aced our tests and we also appreciated how quiet it was when running (just a gentle hum!). It’s 40% off at the moment.Serious Etas / Russell KilgoreA Beast of a Blender from Breville: Breville Super Q BlenderAmazonWhen we tested blenders, we were honestly amazed by how quiet this one was. It has five presets, 12 variable speeds, and a sleek, intuitive digital control panel. Right now, you save 36% on select color models.Serious Eats / Will DickeyThe Best Vacuum Sealer: Anova Precision Culinary Vacuum Sealer ProAmazonFor furthering your sous vide journey, snag a vacuum sealer. This one has built-in bag storage and a bag cutter, and no refractory period (the time between sealings). During our tests, its seals held up to long sous vide and freezer times. Serious Eats / Nick SimpsonA Portable Pizza Oven: Ninja Woodfire 8-in-1 Outdoor OvenAmazon$300 for an outdoor pizza oven?! We were stunned to see this winning oven had dropped $100 in price, and we're willing to bet this deal won't last long. We think this is the best pizza oven for beginners because the steady temps make it harder to burn pies.Serious Eats / Nick SimpsonA Great, Affordable Chef’s Knife: Mercer Culinary Genesis Chef’s KnifeAmazonThe Mercery Culinary chef’s knife is a longtime recommendation of ours. It has a grippy handle and is a great starter blade. In fact, it’s commonly used in culinary schools. Serious Eats/Dera BurresonThe Best Flat-Top Grill for Smash Burgers And More: Weber 36-Inch Gas GriddleWeberWe braved the summer heat and humidity to test flat-top grills and were rewarded for our effort by finding this fantastic griddle from Weber. It's fast to heat, spacious, and gets ripping hot—perfect for making ultra-thin smash burgers. Right now it's $100 off.Serious Eats / Russell KilgoreA Really Great Bread Machine: Zojirushi Home Bakery Mini BreadmakerAmazonThis bread machine doesn’t take up a lot of space, but still makes great, well-proofed loaves with tender crumbs. The Zojirushi’s display is easy to navigate, too. Right now it’s about $50 off.Serious Eats / Will DickeyA Hybrid Piece of Cookware: HexClad Hybrid Nonstick Frying PanAmazonWe actually like HexClad cookware. It’s neither nonstick nor stainless steel, but successfully combines the qualities of both. If you want to try it for yourself, this 8-inch pan is on sale for October Prime Day. Serious Eats / Grace KellyThe Best Instant Pot: Instant Pot Pro Pressure CookerAmazonThis has been our top-recommended Instant Pot for years, and for good reason. Not only does it pressure cook impeccably, but it’s super easy to use. The handles on its cooking pot prevent the pot from swirling around when you stir and its pressure release switch is much easier to use than a valve you have to prod with a spoon.Serious Eats / Irvin LinThe Best Immersion Blender: All-Clad Stainless Steel Immersion BlenderAmazonOur longtime favorite immersion blender is a whopping $50 off at the moment. It’s impressively strong and fast, pureeing soup in the blink of an eye. Its head is easy to twist on and off, too, for easy cleaning and storing.A Temperature-Controlled Mug for Coffee Lovers: Ember Temperature Control Smart MugAmazonThis Ember mug keeps coffee a set temperature between 120 and 145ºF for hours so you can sip coffee slowly without it getting cold. It’s the coffee mug for people who despise hot coffee gone cold! You can now snag it for more than 30% off. Serious Eats / Eric BrockobA Very Fancy Rice Cooker: KitchenAid Grain and Rice CookerAmazonThis rice cooker can cook any grain and even beans! So it's more multicooker. It has a digital control panel that's easy to navigate and it's nearly 30% off for October Prime Day.Serious Eats / Alexander HuangA Great Pair of Pot Holders: KitchenAid Ribbed Soft Silicone Pot HolderAmazonEveryone needs a good pair of pot holders. This set from KitchenAid is impressively grippy and excellent for grabbing onto skillet handles and Dutch oven knobs. Right now, they're nearly 50% off (be sure to clip the coupon!).Serious Eats / Eric BrockobA Great Soda Maker: SodaStream AquaFizz Sparkling Water MakerWalmartThis soda maker comes with two glass bottles and a CO2 cartridge. We liked its cradle bottle-loading system, since we always knew the bottle was secure.Serious Eats / Alexander HuangThe Best Budget Deep Fryer: Chefman Deep FryerAmazonThis is a no-frills deep fryer that does its job really well—especially given its reasonable price. It heats up quickly and has a large capacity for crispy, crunchy food.Serious Eats / Russell KilgoreOur Budget Waffle Maker Pick: Krups 4-Slice Belgian Waffle MakerAmazonThis is our longtime favorite (budget!) waffle maker. It makes tender, fluffy waffles that are still pleasingly floppy. We like that it churns out four at a time, too.Serious Eats / Eric BrockobA Powerful Air Fryer That Won't Hog All Your Counter Space: CosoriLite 2.1-Quart Mini Air FryerAmazonAir fryers typically take up a lot of counter space (not the most demure of appliances!). But this 2.1-quart superhero from Cosori plays nicely with the rest of your kitchen gear. It has four straight-forward settings, and is plenty big for a batch of chicken nuggets or a serving of salmon.Serious Eats / Will DickeyThe Best Budget Flatware Set We've Tried: Lenox Portola 65-Piece Flatware SetAmazonThis flatware set from Lenox includes a generous 65 pieces—much more than most other sets we've tested. The forks, knives, and spoons are well balanced from handle to tip, and they're pleasantly heavy. If you need extra flatware for holiday entertaining, now is a good time to buy: This set is almost 50% off.Serious Eats / Madeline MuzziThe Best $20 Cast Iron Skillet You'll Ever Buy: Lodge 10.25 Inch Cast Iron Pre-Seasoned SkilletAmazonWe've been testing cast iron skillets for years, and we've gotta tell you: You really won't find a better combination of performance and value than this old standby from Lodge. It comes pre-seasoned, so you can use it straight outta the box. It's already over a hundred dollars less than many other cast iron pans, and right now it's 42% off.Serious Eats / Grace KellyA Hot Water Dispenser for Tea, Ramen, and More: Zojirushi Panorama Window Micom Water Boiler and WarmerAmazonHot water dispensers keep boiling water at your desired temperature for hours—no small feat. Our winner from Zojirushi also had a bunch of useful features, like multiple timer options and an alarm to let you know water's up. It's currently steeply discounted at 31% off.Serious Eats / Will DickeyPretty Cloth Napkins That Never Wrinkle: Ruvanti Cloth NapkinsAmazonA bit of polyester is the secret to keeping these cotton napkins wrinkle-free. They come in loads of colors, and each set contains 12 napkins. These napkins earned the title of Best Budget Napkins in our recent review, and now they're on sale for about 40% off!Serious Eats / Rochelle BilowA Fantastic Compressor-Style Ice Cream Machine: Whynter Ice Cream Maker MachineAmazonIf you're really into making ice cream, a compressor-style machine makes it incredibly easy to churn a pint on a whim. This impressive offering from Whynter lets you do just that; in our tests, it mixed up ice cream that honestly tasted better than anything you can buy at the store. And it's currently an impressive 31% off.Serious Eats / Nick SimpsonA Grill Press for Crispy Bacon: Bellemain Cast Iron Grill PressAmazonYou don't have to be a diner cook to appreciate a hefty grill press.

Kitchen Drawer Organizer: Pipishell Bamboo Expandable Drawer OrganizerAmazonMost kitchen drawer organizers are "good enough," but this one was so outstanding, it won the top spot in our review.

It's an impressive 36% off right now.Serious Eats / Madeline MuzziAn Outstandingly Discounted Copper Cookware Set: Viking 4-Ply 9-Piece Copper Cookware SetAmazonCopper cookware is fast, responsive, revered in professional kitchens, and... not cheap. So the fact that one of our winning copper cookware sets is almost $400 off right now is a big, big deal. We named it the best set for everyday use because it's very easy to clean.Serious Eats / Russell KilgoreThe Best Baking Pan for Brownies and Blondies: Nordic Ware 8 x 8 Square Cake PanAmazonTo prove we take testing very seriously, we made about a billion (give or take a few) batches of blondies and cake when we reviewed cake pans.

Knock a couple dollars off the price for Prime Day and stock up on more than one.Serious Eats / Irvin LinA Comfy Mat for Food Prep and Cleanup: Gorilla Grip Anti Fatigue Cushioned Comfort MatAmazonAnti-fatigue mats are more than just kitchen decor.
