Itchin' to upgrade your kitchen? Snag these deals before they go stale. (Amazon)(Amazon)
As Yahoo's resident professional baker turned deals hunter, you could say I often have dough on the brain. No, I'm not talking about dough of the cookie or bread variety (though I'm a fan of both). I'm referring to money — and how to spend less of it. I'm particularly interested in scoring high-quality kitchen tools for fab prices, which is why I've spent the past week browsing deals from the Amazon Spring Sale. The reality? These types of savings events can be hit or miss, so I was pleased to see some of my favorite products (and a few that I've been eyeing) majorly marked down. Several of my picks are down to their lowest prices ever, making this a sale that just might rival Prime Day. That said, the whole shebang wraps up tonight, so if you see something that catches your eye, add it to your cart pronto!
Some real talk: Because I write about kitchen products for a living, I know how to spot a good bargain when I see one. Due to sneaky tactics like inflating starting prices, not all "deals" are legitimate; in fact, I'd argue most are about as thrilling as a soggy french fry.
But speaking of foods that should be crunchy, this Instant Vortex Plus Air Fryer is on sale for its best price in over a year at nearly 50% off. And this titanium version of Our Place's nonstick pan is down to its lowest price ever. Those are just a couple of my top 10 kitchen deal picks, but they'll likely be eighty-sixed soon. Better scoop 'em up before they're toast.
If you spend lots of time in the kitchen, your feet deserve a cushy surface to stand on during all of that cooking (and dishwashing). This highly rated anti-fatigue mat is made from a comfy foam to help take some of the pressure off of your muscles and joints, and its nonslip bottom will stay put without sliding around. The waterproof material is also easy to wipe clean.
Slicing and dicing just got way more fun, thanks to this colorful knife set from Cuisinart. You'll get an 8-inch chef knife, 8-inch slicing knife, 8-inch serrated bread knife, 7-inch santoku knife, 6.5-inch utility knife, 3.5-inch paring knife and protective sheaths for each. Since they're color-coded, you can designate one for meat, one for vegetables — no cross-contamination to see here.
Been dreaming of owning one of these bad boys? This classic model is $90 off and the best price we're seeing online!
Using a filtered pitcher can help prevent you from drinking water that's laden with impurities. This popular BPA-free Brita reduces copper, cadmium and mercury levels for better-tasting H2O, in addition to minimizing the taste and odor from chorine. Its 6-cup capacity is on the smaller size, meaning it won't take up much room in your fridge, and it'll alert you when it's time to swap out the filter. At nearly 40% off, this is as good a price as we've seen.
"This water filter pitcher is perfect for my family of four," wrote a shopper. "It has saved us money because we no longer have to buy as many bottled waters. I was literally buying four cases of 48 bottles of water every two weeks, and now I'm only buying two cases. This is a must-have. It is easy to clean and the filter lasts two months. The flow rate is smooth. This pitcher fits perfectly in our refrigerator."
Never strain your wrists opening a can again, thanks to this nifty little device that does the job with the push of a button. The No. 1 bestseller cleanly removes the top without leaving any sharp edges behind, and it's battery-operated so you won't have to deal with cords.
It's not often on sale, but happens to be marked down to the best price our trackers are showing since 2021. Join the 10,000-plus shoppers who have purchased one within the past month.
I've been trying to reduce the amount of plastic in my kitchen, and thousands of Amazon shoppers swear by these sturdy glass containers, which have airtight seals to keep food fresh. They're not made of just any glass, either: We're talking about borosilicate glass, which is used on thermal tiles in space shuttles.
Not only does this conveniently allow you to see what's packed inside, it makes the containers oven-safe up to 1,040°F. You can also store these containers in the freezer if you have leftovers you know you won't get to right away. At just over $3 per container, this is a fabulous value — I've yet to see them dip lower in over a year.
Gordon Ramsay himself is a fan of this brand, which is known for its one-of-a-kind cookware that combines the best qualities of stainless steel, nonstick and cast iron. This highly rated pan has a good amount of surface area at 12 inches long (ideal for searing), but its taller sides also make it suitable for saucier dishes.
The hexagonal etching on the pan's interior encourages browning (AKA flavor), and this vessel can safely go inside ovens of up to 900° F. The glass lid allows you to check on your food as it cooks (it's oven safe up to 400° F), and at $46 off, this is as low as it's been since Black Friday.
Air fryers are hardly anything new, and with so many on the market, they can start to blur together. That said, if I were looking to purchase one today, it would be this model, which, at nearly 50% off, is down to its best price since last spring.
Here's what I like about it: At 6 quarts, it's roomy enough to fit enough servings for a small group without taking up a ton of counter space. But what I really like is the fact that it has a viewing window (with a light!) — a feature my air fryer is sadly without. Ah, to be able to check on my food while it cooks without opening the drawer and allowing precious heat to escape!
If you're new to the world of single-serve coffee makers, the K-Express is a great place to start. It's a solid entry-level model that's easy to use — and easy on your wallet — and at just $50 it's the lowest price our trackers have ever seen.
Fans love how quickly it heats up and are fans of its petite size (it measures just 5.1 inches wide, but still accommodates a 42-ounce water tank, so you can brew up to four cups). In addition to black, it comes in mint green and pale gray. So it's not just good at what it does — it looks good doing it!
