Amazon's secret kitchen outlet is cookin' with sneaky deals of up to 50% off

Now that the days are getting warmer, you might be ready to swap out your hot latte for some cold brew — and enjoying a chilled drink is about to get a whole lot easier (and faster), thanks to this speedy cooler. Just keep it in the freezer, and when you're ready to use, pour your hot java inside. Swirl it around for one minute, then pour the drink over some ice and ta-da! Brings new meaning to the term "instant coffee" (or tea, or wine, or ... you get the idea). This is as low as it's been since last summer, so snag it while it's over 50% off. 

The perk of having a vegetable garden? Fewer trips to the grocery store and more garden-to-table produce. That said, Randi of Freckled Californian recommends having a solid salad spinner on standby. "I use it to quickly and thoroughly dry my homegrown lettuce, herbs and chopped veggies before cooking," she tells us. "It works so much better than dabbing with paper towels!"

Did you know Mr. Coffee doesn't do just drip coffee makers? The brand also makes a pretty impressive semi-automatic espresso machine, which is currently marked down by 15%. True, it's not a huge price drop, but it makes this already affordable appliance a bit more within reach.

The automatic milk frother is a nice touch, typical of a pricier machine, and the control panel is easy to understand. Just ask any of the 9,820+ Amazon shoppers who have given it a five-star rating. "Easily one of the best espresso makers you can get for the price. Have had ours for over six years as of now, and my wife loves it," wrote one longtime fan. "It is a pretty 'entry' level espresso maker but makes great espresso." 

All-Clad is the brand many professional chefs reach for when it comes to cookware, so it only makes sense that their accessories — like this heavy-duty duo — would be top-quality as well. These versatile pads are heat-resistant up to 500°F and have nonslip silicone grips to give you more confidence when lifting hot casseroles out of the oven. Plus, you can rest pots on them while protecting your counter. This is as low as we've seen this set on sale for since 2021. 

"I literally ordered these at the party where the hostess had them!" exclaimed an enthusiast. "They are the perfect combo [of] flexible and heat-resistant. My daughter has silicone gloves, but I couldn't even lift anything with them, they were so rigid. These are the best, and I've sent them as gifts to all my cooking friends."

We all love pasta, but on those nights when you want something a little lighter and more refreshing for dinner, this fun tool makes preparing veggie noodles a breeze. It comes with spaghetti-, fettuccini- and ribbon-cut blades so you can mix things up with a variety of shapes, and everything stacks atop one another for compact storage. At half off, this is a fab price. 

"I was able to make zoodles for lunch in under seven minutes," said a buyer. "It's super easy to use and cleanup is even easier. I sauté the zoodles for a few minutes before I add them to [the] sauce. This helps cut the water that is in the zucchini. I add my favorite sauce and even added mixed veggies to my sauce. So filling. Great substitute for pasta."

You know that pool of water that always seems to be hanging out around the top of your sink? Yeah, we think it's really annoying too. That's why having an H2O catcher like the ones in this pack is really helpful. They go around the base of your faucet (be sure to measure yours first) and trap any water than would otherwise end up on your counter. Their two drainage spouts help guide the water back into the sink, leaving you with a dry surface for storing soap dispensers, sponges and more. Pretty genius, huh? This is the lowest we've ever seen this set dip down to, just sayin'...

"Just what I was looking for to keep water from puddling around soap dispensers," wrote a user. "This mat fits snuggly around the base of the kitchen faucet and provides a great self-draining/dry surface for hand and dish soaps."

Calling all Stanley stans: You no longer have to worry about a teetering tumbler on a table (say that 10 times fast), thanks to these little base covers. Made of silicone, they provide extra grip while also protecting the bottom of your cup from scratches and dents. Plus, placing your stainless steel cup on a table will be a whole lot quieter. At under two bucks a pop, this is a new all-time low. 

"Honestly, Stanley cups should just come with these little sleeves," said a shopper. "If you happen to keep a metal/insulated cup around and get tired of hearing the loud 'clank' every time it's set down, you need this little sleeve. They pop right on and off (I take mine off before cleaning my cup and it's super easy to rinse and let air dry) and provide a nice sound-proofing effect as well as a little extra traction to keep the cup from sliding on smooth surfaces. Since picking up a giant insulated cup can sometimes feel like hauling a trash can onto a tabletop, it's nice to have a little softer edge to protect tables."

The term "sous vide" only sounds fancy; in reality, it just means cooking something inside a sealed container, in a controlled water bath. Preparing food this way helps ensure everything is cooked evenly, inside and out, while preserving moisture and tenderness. This nifty tool makes it easy, as it quickly brings water up to the proper temperature and allows you to monitor the process via app. Even at over 40% off, it's an investment, but if you've ever experienced the frustration of throwing away a pricey overcooked steak, it'll be well worth it.

"I use this with a 26-quart container, and will easily cook 10 pounds' worth of steaks at one time," shared a fan. "Even with that much going on, it keeps a very even temperature and good water flow during the cook. Comes up to temperature very quickly, and very easy to use. Highly recommend."

What sets this can opener apart from the rest? Most notably, it features ergonomically designed handles with soft grips to prevent it from slipping out of your hand while you turn the knob. On top of that, it's got a bottle opener built right in, and at 50% off, it's close to as low as we've ever seen it. 

"Easy to grip, cuts well," said a convert. "The handles are oval-shaped and have a greater surface area than many others I have used, so this is more comfortable to use. It seems to be much easier to precisely control the cut and get a good removal the first attempt. I like it."

There's a reason all of your favorite cooking show hosts use small bowls like these while they're preparing recipes — they make the cooking process so much more enjoyable. By portioning out and chopping all of your ingredients ahead of time (known as "mise en place," or, "everything in its place"), you'll be able to pop everything in as you go, rather than realizing you still have a carrot to slice up once your broth is already bubbling away. What makes this set special is that the bowls also come with lids for storing leftovers — oh, and the price, which is as low as it's been in months. 

"These bowls are great for pre-measuring out ingredients," shared a buyer. "Makes cooking and baking easier. In addition, because of the lids, they are the perfect size to save smaller leftovers that would have gotten thrown away before. With the price of groceries today, reducing food waste is important!"

Lunchboxes aren't exactly known for being stylish, but this sleek bag is an exception. Made of waterproof neoprene, it's insulated to help keep food hot or cold for hours and folds flat when empty, making it perfect for stashing in your suitcase or backpack on the go. We haven't seen it for less since 2020, so snag it while you can save 50%.

"I'm one who doesn't like carrying lunch bags," explained a user. "I finally decided to purchase this one and I'm glad I did. I got the black one and it actually looks like a small purse. It's lightweight, durable and surprisingly roomy inside. It's also nice that it folds down flat when empty."

Let the you-versus-ice-tray battles be a thing of the past, thanks to this smart set. The trays are made of bendy silicone, which makes popping out the cubes far easier than the flimsy plastic ones. Each tray also comes with a lid, and the set includes a bin for collecting the ice. At 50% off, this is the lowest we've seen this set marked down to. 

"I really like that it comes with lids," wrote a fan. "No spilling water on your way to the freezer. Run hot tap water over the top of the lids to make the lids come off easier. Turn upside down in your ice tray and push on the bottoms of the cubes. They pop right out."
