Making pizza at home has never been so easy. (Amazon)
Now that the temperatures are rising, we're going to be spending more time outside and less time in the kitchen. Right about now, we're thinking about easy meals and nothing is easier to throw together than pizza. If you're a pizza enthusiast, you know that pizza can make a weeknight meal a party and if that's the kind of dinner you like, I've got news that might just change your life: Not only is the Betty Crocker Countertop Pizza Maker on sale, but it can be at your door in time for dinner this week.
Not only am I a fan of Ina Garten's approachable recipes, I also love checking out her gorgeous kitchen and cookware. Some of her go-tos are admittedly out of my price range, but I was pleasantly surprised to discover this super-affordable skillet, a longtime favorite of mine, is also a staple in her kitchen.
This pan can be used on all cooktops, is oven-safe and can even be placed over a grill or open flame. Lodge pieces are so durable, people often pass them down to younger generations. I've had mine for about 10 years, but it works just as well as the day I got it, if not better. Not bad for just 16 bucks!
Another thing I love about this pan? It's made of iron and oil — no PFOAs or PTFEs, which gives me peace of mind about cooking without "forever chemicals." No wonder it's one of 12 pieces of cookware Garten links to on her website.

It's time to chuck all of your mismatched food storage containers and replace them with this heavily marked-down set. It comes with 12 round and rectangular containers, which are clear so you can easily see their contents. Since they're made of borosilicate glass, the containers are dishwasher-, oven- and microwave-safe (just not the lids), and their airtight silicone seals help prevent leaks.

It might resemble an electric toothbrush, but you'll want to use this little gizmo for busting away messes in the tiny corners and crevices of your home. We're taking bathroom tile grout, fridge gaskets, around faucets — anything you don't feel like cleaning by hand, since it scrubs a whopping 60 times per second! We don't often see it on sale for less than it is now, but we have seen it priced at over $20. And given how much time and energy it'll save you, $17 is a real bargain!
"The Rubbermaid Power Scrubber is amazing!" exclaimed an impressed user. "Not only does it get the water stains out of the tile grout, but it’s small enough to get into the crevices of the shower door and side panels. Black gunk I had never even seen was streaming down, with very little effort from me. Best of all, no pain in my hands from my carpal tunnel syndrome." (Psst: I'm also a fan — check out my full Rubbermaid Reveal Power Scrubber review!)
Treat your tush to the oh-so-refreshing spray of this popular bidet, which allows you to adjust the water pressure to your liking. Not only does it feel nicer than using scratchy toilet paper, it'll also cut down on your TP spending (plus, it's more sanitary than wiping). Everything you need for easy installation is included.

You'll be so relieved you had this portable air compressor in the trunk when you realize one tire's looking a little floppy. It takes just minutes to pump it back to normal, and you can do all four on a single charge (though it has a 12V DC adapter just in case). You can also use it on basketballs, bike tires and balloons. It sells out frequently, so snag it while it's down to as low as it ever gets.
This No. 1 bestselling, TikTok-famous compact carpet cleaner packs a punch, especially considering it weighs less than 10 pounds! Its powerful suction can be used to remove stains not just from rugs, but furniture and even car upholstery, too. Plus, it comes with a self-cleaning hose tool and a bottle of Bissell's Spot & Stain with Febreeze. We haven't seen this viral cleaner priced much lower than it currently is in years (it was only a few bucks cheaper back in July for Prime Day) — and when you consider how much money it'll save you in professional cleaning bills (and replacement furniture), it'll pay for itself in just a few uses.
"The K2 has saved me so much hassle and added hours back into my week," says our resident vacuum expert, Home & Garden Writer Kristin Granero. "Having a vacuum that can clean under my feet while I'm working from home or napping on my couch is a non-negotiable for me. The Okp K2 has proven to be quiet enough to get the job done without rousing me from sleep and without letting my boss know that Rosie the Robot is cleaning around me during video chats.
"Despite being so quiet, it packs 1800Pa of power and a HEPA filter for effectively picking up human and pet hair, dirt and debris (bonus: improved air quality). It's also incredibly versatile, designed for hardwood floors and rugs, with four different settings for added customization. The ability to detail edges or spot-treat is especially helpful when I'm in a rush or an area requires extra attention."
Zap it up while you can save 53% (its largest price cut to date). And check out Granero's full review for more.
Groceries are expensive, and preparing overcooked, inedible food is just money down the drain. Avoid that by taking the temperature of your meats, seafood, baked goods and more — doing so helps ensure everything is perfectly (and safely) cooked. This popular gadget (over 8,000 were purchased this month) provides a reading in seconds, so grab one before your next cookout. It's currently within $3 of its lowest price on record, FYI...
"It’s been a game-changer in my kitchen!" exclaimed a happy home cook. "It’s incredibly easy to use, giving me precise readings in just a few seconds, which has made cooking meat so much less stressful. I love the instant-read feature — no more guessing or cutting into my food to check if it’s done. The display is bright and easy to read, even when I’m grilling outside. I’ve tested it on everything from chicken to steak, and the results have been spot-on every time. Plus, it’s durable and easy to clean, which is always a bonus."
Amazon's No. 1 selling vegetable slicer can help you cut onions without crying, make a salad fast and even grate cheese — get it while it's over 40% off. It comes with four interchangeable blades so you can use it to slice and dice all of your produce, as well as cheese and cooked meats for salads, soups, sandwiches, eggs and more. The attached storage container can hold up to 4 cups and is especially great for small spaces, because you don't have to make room for a cutting board.
"Since buying this chopper, I have chopped all my produce and stored it in small containers in the refrigerator — pounds of onions, peppers, turnips, and carrots," said one meal-prepper. "But beware, when the instructions say not to touch the blades — they are sharp. Trust me, they are sharp!"
This top-selling plug-in uses UV light to attract bugs, then traps them on a sneaky glue board (don't worry, it's hidden so you don't have to stare at dead flies all day).
"They work! And very well," said a happy reviewer. "Great design that doesn’t detract from your decor, be it kitchen or elsewhere. The traps face the wall, so no unsightly insects revealed for all to see."
Look at you being all proactive! This No. 1 bestselling kit can minimize the risk of dryer-related house fires, as it'll do a more thorough job than simply wiping out the lint. Just attach it to your vacuum — you'll be amazed by how much it sucks up.
Get ahead of sweaty summer nights with this pair of cooling pillows. Thousands of satisfied sleepers rave about their soft, yet supportive feel, and their breathable down alternative fill helps promote airflow for a more comfortable slumber. According to the brand, they're suited for all sleep styles, whether you tend to rest on your back, stomach or side.
Sleep hot at night? This popular sheet set (131,000-plus perfect ratings) is made from cooling bamboo to keep you comfortable, and it's over 50% off — one of the best prices we've seen, well, ever.
These top-selling double-sided hooks might seem too simple to have such a large impact, but sometimes the most basic designs offer the biggest rewards. With these, you slide the holes of your shower curtain onto one side, the holes of your liner onto the other, and voilà! Now you can just lift your liner off when it's time for a refresh while your curtain remains in place. In the past year, we've only seen this set drop lower in price once (by a dollar!), and given how much struggle they'll save you, $7 seems extremely reasonable. They're nearly 60% off!
"Goodbye, sore arms!" announced a relieved customer. "If you are like me, dealing with the hassle of constantly changing out shower curtain liners and shower curtains is a burn for the arms. Love this product, as it makes changing these out much faster, and it has a modern look as well!"
Let's avoid a tiki torch incident this summer, yeah? These will illuminate your yard, patio or pool area with a warm glow that'll also allow guests to see which flavor of seltzer they're grabbing from the cooler. And feel free to leave them up all year: They're designed to endure harsh weather, be it heavy rain, wind or snow.
This chopper has a high-efficiency motor that handles even thick branches with ease, all while weighing under 3 pounds.
Ah, the beach: refreshing water to cool off in, the relaxing sound of waves to zone out to ... and a seemingly endless supply of sand that'll somehow end up all over your car and house. But you'll be able to minimize the amount you track in, thanks to this sand-proof blanket that's easy to shake free of those pesky particles. Plus, it folds down much smaller than a towel to save space in your bag.
Pizza night, coming right up! Instead of relying on his local pizza joint to do the heavy lifting, Dad can throw together a few pies and bake 'em right in this top-selling pizza oven. What makes it so special? Well, this one has heat coming from both directions, so the pizza is perfectly crispy on the bottom and the toppings are cooked through. "My regular oven takes 25 minutes for this same pizza, so I figured I'll give this 20 minutes then check on it. That 20 minutes is all that was needed," wrote one pizzaiolo-in-training, adding that "the pizza tastes better than when made in an oven."
This pizza cooker heats up with a 1440-watt heating element and can get as hot as 400°F.
It may be called Kitchy but this pizza cutter is anything but kitschy.
Cut to fit 12-inch cake pans or pizza pans, these sheets of round parchment take the headache out of doing dishes.
If you make pizza a lot, this handy little kitchen gadget will save you money on your energy bills — no need to turn on the oven! Other pizza makers like this can cost close to $200. Not only that, but the Betty Crocker Countertop Pizza Maker doesn't go on sale very often. In fact, we don't expect the price to drop until July. If you want to check out some other options, check out our reviews of the best pizza ovens.
If you don't like having to wait for your oven to preheat to get your pizza cooking, this little guy can help you get dinner on the table pretty darn quick. Not only is the preheating time short, but the Betty Crocker Countertop Pizza Maker can cook your pizza (frozen or fresh!) faster than a conventional oven. And it's not limited to cooking pizza. You can make cookies, frozen french fries, onion rings, cookies, cinnamon rolls, biscuits — the list goes on and on. It's also slim and compact so when you're done with dinner, you just tuck it away. If you have a small kitchen, its size makes it more convenient than a toaster oven.
More than 5,000 enthusiastic pizza lovers have given this device a five-star rating.
"Better than putting a pizza in the oven," shared a rave reviewer. "Because your pizza is in direct contact with a heated surface, and because you add a little oil to the surface before you bake the pizza in this cooker, your pizza comes out with a browned crust every time. Make a whole 12" pizza, or cut a larger pizza and bake what you need. Either way, it's perfect. And we've used it to create cinnamon rolls and other baked delights. It's a whiz to clean, and you don't heat up your kitchen and waste a bunch of electricity every time you make a pizza. My favorite small appliance (other than the toaster oven/air fryer) for sure."
"Love it," echoed another 'za lover. "It's great; better than heating up the entire oven. We also make pancakes and eggs — no need to turn them over."
"Love this machine!" gushed a happy shopper. "It is not just another kitchen gadget to take residency on the kitchen countertop. It has earned its place. It is used at least 3-4 times a week or more. Cooks our pizzas quickly and evenly. We also use it for omlettes, pancakes and quesadillas. It is easy to use and keep clean. So, we bought one for our 34-year-old autistic nephew, who uses it daily."
"I read a million reviews before I bought this thing and I’m so glad I finally just ordered it because it’s great," a five-star fan wrote. "This pizza maker is so awesome, I highly recommend it. We’re also truck drivers and have limited space so the fact that it’s not very big makes it easy to store away when it’s not in use."
"Cannot live without," raved another savvy shopper. "Infinite possibilities! Had I known how much my family and I would use this, I would have purchased it long, long ago. It is an easy cleanup and we still haven't put it away as we use it at least once daily. The only cons to this pizza maker is the fact it is extremely hot on the outside (they warn you over and over to protect your hands while using it), and I wish the lid had a soft close on it, as sometimes when handling the lid, it goes flying down due to someone not using a potholder."
Want to round out your pizza-making kit? 36,000 Amazon shoppers rave about the Kitchy Pizza Cutter.
"My new favorite kitchen utensil!" reported a rave reviewer. "Cuts like butter, easy to use and take apart for cleaning. Didn't get all gunky like my other pizza cutters have in the past. Pizza, quesadillas, grilled cheese... It cuts it all SO easily!"
And if you want to make clean-up a snap, these top-selling parchment paper circles fit just right in the pizza maker.
"These 12-inch round parchment sheets are tremendously useful for lining the pizza pan," shared one of over 6,000 five-star fans. "It makes cleanup a cinch! I primarily use them when reheating pizza, so it's perfect for catching any cheese that melts over the crust. They also absorb much of the oil/grease. If you like easy, these precut sheets are great."
