Been itchin' to upgrade your kitchen? Better jump on these sales before they go stale... (QVC/Walmart)(QVC/Walmart)
How was your holiday weekend? Hopefully full of delicious food, whether you were grilling in the backyard or enjoying some soft serve on a boardwalk. Of course, a jam-packed long weekend leaves little time for shopping, but if you missed this year's Memorial Day sales ... no, you didn't. As Yahoo's resident pro baker turned deals hunter, I'm always keeping an eye out for markdowns on the best kitchen gear, and I'm pleased to report that there are a slew of discounts that are still live. I'm talking Vitamix blenders, Keurig coffee makers, Le Creuset stoneware ... you know, the good stuff.
To save you the trouble of sifting through thousands of mediocre markdowns, I've handpicked my favorites; these are products I use myself, items we've tested and reviewed or just really solid deals that I've bookmarked for my own shopping cart. In fact, I've uncovered some finds that are down to their best prices of the year, if not all time. Not all deals are created equal, but by enlisting the help of price trackers and comparing sales across retailers, I've thoroughly vetted each item on this list — non-legit discounts need not apply.
Ready to see what you can snag for a steal? Lemme hear a "Yes, Chef!"
As sleek as your full-sized appliances, this versatile cooker air fries, bakes, broils, toasts and more.

Don't be surprised if you start using this more than your actual oven!
It's your lucky day. The Ninja Creami is one of the most viral kitchen products of the year, but it's included in Walmart's Black Friday deals! This gadget can turn any frozen solid bases into ice creams, sorbets, milkshakes and more.
It'll be grilling season before we know it, and even those of us with limited outdoor space can enjoy some smoky flavor, thanks to this portable charcoal number. Weighing just 2 pounds (!) it's super for toting to the park for a cookout with friends, and its 196-square-inch cooking rack can fit a surprising amount of food.
Senior Health Editor Laura Williams awarded this line the title of "best stainless steel" in her roundup of the best nontoxic cookware, saying, "Stainless steel is generally considered one of the safest and most durable options when selecting nontoxic cookware, and we especially appreciate that this set is NSF-certified for safety and durability. It also comes with a lifetime warranty, so you know your investment is well covered. ... We also like that the cookware (pots, pans and lids) are oven-safe up to 500° F and are dishwasher-safe too."
Included in this eight-piece set are an 8-inch fry pan, a 10-inch fry pan, a 2-quart sauce pan with lid, a 3-quart sauce pan with lid and a 5-quart Dutch oven with lid. This deal saves you nearly 55%, its best markdown since 2023.
You'll feel like you have your own personal smoothie shop with this best-in-class blender. Boasting a 2-horsepower motor, it'll effortlessly blitz up ice and frozen fruit, though you could also use it for whizzing up sauces or even grinding up meat.
From soup to nuts (as in, homemade nut butters), this workhorse will level up your meal prep like no other — and this is the best price we're seeing.
Staying hydrated is important all year, but especially as the temps rise. This sought-after tumbler will quench your thirst on the go while keeping drinks cold (or warm if you're a hot-coffee-or-bust kind of person) for hours at a time. It'll fit right in your car's cupholder, has a splash-resistant lid and, perhaps most importantly, is dishwasher safe. Plus, Yeti is one of those brands that doesn't really need to have sales, so any time you see a discount, it's wise to pounce. (Note: You'll need to make a Yeti account to score this deal, but it's fast and free!)
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 gadget is pricey, yes, but it took top honors in our roundup of the best meat thermometers of 2025, thanks to its accuracy, user-friendliness, durability and impressive warranty. (After all, if you're going to spend a lot on a kitchen gadget, don't you want it to last?) "It's truly a top-of-the-line meat thermometer," wrote tester Lisa Schweitzer. "It takes readings in one second, it has no buttons to fuss with, its backlit display rotates so you can always read it easily and, most importantly, it's accurate." And right now, it's at the lowest price I've seen.
I try to minimize waste in the kitchen as much as possible, which is why these reusable silicone baking mats come in clutch. Not only do they help keep my parchment paper costs to a minimum, they also protect my sheet trays from caked-on gunk.
The nonstick material is a breeze to clean, and I find that I can still achieve a nice golden brown on the bottoms of my cookies when I use them. Plus, I don't have to pry the cookies off once they're out of the oven — they can easily be lifted with a spatula. Pro tip: For dough that needs to be rolled out, you can roll it out on this rather than your counter to make cleanup a whole lot easier.
The Silpat brand is expensive, but it's the most durable I've tried — you won't have to replace it for a looong time!
Want to make coffee the Martha Stewart way? The queen of all things kitchen says this line of espresso machines is, simply, "the best."

You can't go wrong with classic stainless steel cookware, and Made In's sought-after pieces don't often go on sale. That said, this bestselling set is a rare 20% off and includes small, medium and large pans to suit all of your stir-frying and sautéing needs.
They come with a lifetime warranty for peace of mind, and you won't have to worry about "forever chemicals" making their way into your food.
Though Le Creuset is most famous for its enameled cast iron cookware, it also makes stoneware that’s ideal for baking and casseroles. These square dishes have a lovely finish that's resistant to chips and cracks; and since the surface is nonporous, it won’t absorb odors or flavors. The handles make them easy to take out of the oven, and they’re so pretty, they can go straight to the table, filled with lasagna, roasted veggies or desserts. This set of two bakers is available in eight colors, from neutrals like white and beige to bolds like red and this pretty blue. Snag this duo while it's just $55 — you can split them up as gifts, or give the set.
"I bring these out for the holidays," wrote a festive fan. "Great pieces if you're going for a certain look at the dinner table. I've never had any issues with these dishes baking my foods unevenly, either."
