Serious Eats

Amazon’s October Prime Day 2025 is rapidly coming to a close. So if you’re eyeing a new blender (the Vitamix 5200 is a Serious Eats favorite) or thinking about committing to an espresso machine (get this one from Breville), now’s the time to do it. I rounded up 60-plus of the best deals you can still get on kitchen gear that’s Serious Eats editor-tested and approved.

The Best Kitchen Gear Deals You Can Still Get for Amazon’s October Prime Day, at a Glance

  • A Powerful, Editor-Loved Blender That's Highly Discounted: Vitamix 5200 Blender

    Vitamix 5200 Professional-Grade Blender

    Amazon

    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.

    Serious Eats

    If you’ve been dreaming of an espresso machine but were intimidated by the process and the price, you’re in luck: Our favorite beginner-friendly machine from Breville is on sale for Prime Day. It guides you through the dosing, tamping, and dispensing processes, and brews a delectably treacly shot. 

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

    Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro

    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.

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

    GreenPan 22 Piece Valencia Pro Ceramic Nonstick Cookware Set

    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 Big, Durable Stand Mixer: KitchenAid 7-Quart Bowl-Lift Stand Mixer

    Amazon KitchenAid 7 Quart Bowl Lift Stand Mixer

    Amazon

    Bowl-lift stand mixers like our winner from KitchenAid are powerful—they can tackle even the toughest doughs without overheating. Plus, the seven-quart bowl makes this stand mixer large enough to make a large batch of cookies or a big, billowy pile of whipped cream. It’s $100 off for a limited time.

  • A Reliable Coffee Grinder: Breville Smart Grinder Pro

    Breville Smart Grinder Pro Coffee Bean Grinder

    Amazon

    A coffee grinder can bring your morning drip brew from okay to awesome. This grinder from Breville makes it easy to home in on the right grind size so you can brew a perfectly balanced, totally not bitter carafe. It’s 20% off for a limited time.

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

    Le Creuset Enameled Cast Iron Braiser

    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

    OXO Good Grips Pro 10" Frying Pan Skillet

    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.

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

    Ninja SLUSHi Professional Frozen Drink Maker

    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

    Cuisinart 14-Cup Food Processor

    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.

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

    Lodge EC6D33 6-Quart Enameled Cast Iron Dutch Oven

    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

    Yosukata Carbon Steel Wok Pan

    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

    All-Clad D3 3-Ply Stainless Steel Cookware Set 10 Piece

    Amazon

    Most cookware sets aren’t worth it: They’re pricey, poorly made, and come with a lot of stuff you don’t need. Not this set, though. 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 soda maker with a labeled bottle a glass of sparkling water and a CO2 refill cylinder

    Amazon

    Soda machines make it easy to have sparkling water at the touch of a button. The SodaStream ART came out on top in our tests because it was easy to set up and use, and, most importantly, it made the fizziest, bubbliest water. This is a great deal on a starter kit that includes a canister and a to-go bottle.

  • A Grippy Oven Mitt: OXO Good Grips Silicone Oven Mitt

    OXO Good Grips Silicone Oven Mitt

    Amazon

    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

    All Clad Electric Deep Fryer With Basket And Lid

    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. And lucky me, it’s on sale!

  • A Reliable Set of Food Storage Containers: Rubbermaid Brilliance Food Storage Containers

    Rubbermaid Brilliance Food Storage Containers

    Amazon

    Good food storage containers make a difference: easy cleaning and stacking, and most importantly, no leaking. This set from Rubbermaid has all of these attributes. The set comes with a variety of sizes for all kinds of leftovers, whether it’s a slab of lasagna or a scoop of peas. The glass version of this set is also on sale if you’re converting your kitchen into a non-toxic utopia.

    This tumbler is anything but tippy and dribbly. It beat other, more famous tumblers (cough Stanley cough) in our tests because of its slim, grippy handle, smooth-sipping straw, and spill-free ethos—yes, a water bottle can have an ethos. Simple Modern’s tumber comes in a variety of pretty pastel-y colors.

Its 5-quart bowl is big enough for most projects, and the engine is powerful enough for even the most gluten-developed of doughs.

    If you’re a perky morning person who likes to chug a protein shake before the gym—or you really love pesto and salsa verde—then this personal, portable blender will be the perfect pulverizing companion for you. It’s small—so small that you could actually pop the jar into your car’s cupholder on the way to the gym. It’s surprisingly mighty, blasting a fibrous kale smoothie in a few pulses, but also incredibly quiet, a pleasant contradiction.

  • A Great Milk Frother: Instant Pot Instant MagicFroth 9-in-1 Electric Milk Steamer and Frother

    Instant MagicFroth Milk Frother

    I gave this milk frother as a gift a few years back and totally regret not keeping it for myself. Yes, call me selfish, but frothy, creamy milk for my latte at the push of a button? Why did I give it up? Just turn it on, watch the little whisk whir, and poof, you’ve got silky, milky froth. Thankfully, it’s on sale for over $20 off, so I can enact revenge and buy it for myself, mwahaha.

The water tank can be moved around, making it easy to fit on your counter, and it brews a palatable cup of K-coffee. It’s also on sale for a wicked good price: $90 off.

    Honestly, this is the only kitchen scale I stand behind (besides perhaps a big, industrial, restaurant-grade one). 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.

    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.

While the fad has cooled, panini are still hot and tasty. You can have your own blast from the past with this panini press from Cuisinart, which is our budget-friendly pick. In our tests, it grilled perfectly crunchy sandwiches with melty cheese every time. We also liked that it could convert into a grill or griddle. It’s now even more affordable at over 25% off.

    Loaf pans come in handy for more than just sandwich bread. They’re perfect for making neat slices of meatloaf, a pretty, swirled babka, or even a sumptuous icebox cake. So this deal on a pack of two is even better when you think about it—you can make a meatloaf for dinner and also throw a babka in the oven for dessert. In our tests, these USA pans turned out neat, evenly browned loaves without any sticking. And c’mon, with the discount, it’s basically two for the price of one!

  • Bormioli Rocco Bodega Collection 12-Ounce Drinking Glasses

    Bormioli Rocco Bodega Collection Glassware

    Amazon

    These inauspicious glasses are my go-to. They match everything, and their clean simplicity gives every tablescape a modern look. But also, they’re just pleasant to hold and sip from, with a slightly flared shape that fits your hand and a smooth lip over which liquid flows smoothly. It’s an almost poetic experience. Grab this set of 12 while they’re on sale for about $3 a pop.

    Wine is beautiful (and expensive), so shouldn’t you drink it out of a nice, quality glass? The right-shaped cup actually enhances the drinking experience, funneling aromas up and out for you to enjoy. We like this set from Riedel for its balanced feel and durability.

  • A Pellet Ice Machine: GE Profile Opal 2.0 XL Pellet Ice Machine

    GE Profile Countertop Nugget Ice Maker V2

    Amazon

    Pellet ice has a crunchy-chewy texture. It’s prized in cocktail bars for its dilution and pretty dimpled effect when piled high in a glass. If you’re feeling luxe with your drinks, GE makes a great home pellet ice machine—and the tank is detachable for easy cleaning. It’s highly discounted for Prime Day, a deal that won’t last.

    I've sung the praises of this knife before: It's sharp, stays sharp, and makes super-precise cuts. The handle is nice and compact, too. If you're looking for a chef's knife that'll change your whole idea of what a chef's knife is, this is it.
