Don’t overlook these Prime Day kitchen deals — I found the 10 best picks, up to 44% off

There is nothing I enjoy more than cooking or baking for myself or my loved ones. And I especially enjoy experimenting with a wide variety of recipes. The more experience I gain, the more I realize how useful it is to have a well-equipped kitchen utensil collection.

But even though I want to buy certain pieces, whether it’s cookware or cookware, I don’t have the budget for them. That’s why big sales are important. I can finally buy the items that have been taking up space on my wish list for less.

Ninja Fit Compact Personal Blender

If you ask me, you can’t really go through summer without a personal blender. They’re perfect for refreshing smoothies, personal cocktails or mocktails, and make salad dressings a breeze. I know many of us are looking for one this time of year, and this compact model from Ninja is a great pick for 35% off. It’s the number one best-seller on Amazon’s list for personal blenders, garnering over 31,000 perfect user reviews. Simply push and twist to blend everything in no time. It comes with a base, a 16-ounce cup, and a lid for a complete package.

Lodge 12-inch Pre-Seasoned Cast Iron Skillet

If you don’t have a cast iron skillet, you’re missing out. I consider it an essential piece of kitchenware, and you don’t have to spend a lot to get it. Lodge is a brand we love, and this skillet at 43% off is a great choice in my opinion. Sure, you could get a regular skillet (also on sale), but this shape with the helper handles allows you to use the skillet in more places than just the stovetop because of its more compact design. It’ll work great in the oven, on your grill or smoker, over a campfire, and of course on any stovetop. The 12-inch diameter is more versatile than you might think, and it comes with pour spouts for seamless draining. You don’t need much else.

Paudin 8 inch chef’s knife

Ever tried to cut a tomato with a dull knife? Summer is not the time to mess around with old blades. (Honestly, for safety reasons, there really is no good time.) This Paudin model is one of our favorites, and it’s a low-stakes addition to any collection, now with a $24 price tag. Its sharp blade will help you slice through all those summer tomatoes (and possibly fall and winter squash) with no problem. Not only did we find it sharp, but it’s well-balanced and comfortable, making it an incredible value for this Prime Day price.

Ninja 5.5 Liter Air Fryer

One of the most popular items I see people getting ready to buy is an air fryer, and this time of year is the height of their popularity. I totally get why: They help get meals on the table quickly and they keep the kitchen from getting too hot. This Ninja air fryer is a popular favorite, and it’s 44% off today. Its 5.5-quart basket holds a bit more than your average air fryer, but it still won’t take up too much space at 11 x 14 x 14.75 inches. That front display also makes it easy to select a variety of settings.

Vitamix Propel 510

Every time I use my Vitamix blender, I’m glad I have it. Out of all my kitchen tools, it ranks among the best in terms of durability and efficiency. It’s a year-round essential, but could definitely be even more useful this time of year, so I’m always on the lookout for deals to share. One of the brand’s newest models, the Propel 510, is currently nearly 30% off. It’s a great choice if you want something simple, but with a few extra features. Use the dial to control the speed, or choose between the smoothie, soup, or frozen dessert setting. There’s also a pulse switch for control, as well as the classic 48-ounce cone pitcher for perfect blending.

Instant Pot 10 Quart Air Fryer

If you’re looking for a larger air fryer, you can’t go wrong with our favorite large-capacity pick. It comes in at 10 quarts and has a more traditional oven shape with a drop-down door for easy baking, roasting, roasting, air frying, and more. Based on its incredible cooking results, easy-to-use settings, and extra accessories, we think this is a real steal at its original price. The 33% discount only makes its price even sweeter.

Gozney Roccbox pizza oven

Prime Day is a great time to shop for outdoor cookware, and a pizza oven is one of the most anticipated picks. We love Gozney’s ovens, though it’s not always possible to fit one of the larger models on your deck or patio. Enter the Roccbox. It’s a portable option for the pizza lover who doesn’t want to fully commit to something that takes up too much space. Despite its more compact size, it can still heat up to 950℉ and cook a pizza in 60 seconds, according to the brand. Take $100 off today.

Special filter coffee maker Coffee

I’ve been in the market for a new drip coffee maker, and this Café Specialty model has always caught my eye. Not only is it visually appealing, but we also ranked it at the top after testing popular coffee makers. It’s our favorite programmable option on the market, thanks to its incredible features. You can use it over WiFi (you know, from your bed), and it will brew an incredibly tasty and hot cup of coffee in no time. We found that this carafe keeps coffee hot better than many other options on the market, which is essential for me as someone who only drinks piping hot coffee. All colors are on sale, but the white shade is 40% off, making it a hard choice to pass up.

Cuisinart 1.5 Quart Ice Cream Maker

While there are ice cream lovers who will eat their frozen treat on the coldest day of the year, many of us crave it most during the summer. And this Cuisinart ice cream maker is on sale at the perfect time. We found it on sale in three shades, including white, light pink, and red. It’s simple: The 1.5-quart bowl is frozen before churning, you insert the ice cream base into it, and flip the forward-facing switch to churn. The top stays open, making it easy to add toppings. Take advantage of nearly 30% off today.

KitchenAid Artisan Series 5-Quart Tilt-Head Stand Mixer

I’ve been using the KitchenAid family mixer for as long as I can remember (it still works after 20 years), and this year I’m finally getting one so I’m not always hogging it. That means sales like Prime Day are super important for getting those wish list items at a discount. I know I’m not alone, and luckily this 10-speed, 5-quart model is on sale right now. It tilts so you can attach and remove the attachments (a whisk, dough hook, and paddle), and it gives you room to scrape the bowl or add ingredients. I have my eye on the matte black one, but it comes in a ton of shades.
