Preparing homemade meals should be enjoyable, but scratched, gunky pots and pans can muck up the experience — not to mention the food. The good news? You don't have to spend a fortune on a new cookware set. The Carote 14-Piece Nonstick Pots and Pans Set boasts slick interiors that make cleaning a total cinch — but what we're really excited about? The whole shebang is marked down to just $66 (its all-time lowest price). Yes, Chef!
This No. 1 bestseller is over 60% off — one of its lowest prices ever — and comes with just about every type of blade a home cook could need. Henckels has been crafting quality knives for over a century, so you can rest assured they know what they're doing.
An air fryer is just the ticket when you want a hot meal without turning on the oven. This top-rated model heats up quickly and holds up to 2.5 pounds of fries or 14 wings at a time. Plus, it can be used to dehydrate food, proof bread and even bake desserts. This price is one of the best we've seen it marked down to.

If you've been coveting the under-cabinet lighting that seems to be in every house on HGTV, there's a near-instant way to achieve the effect without hiring an electrician. These No. 1 bestselling, battery-operated LED strips are magnetic and stick right onto metal surfaces, but included adhesives also allow you to attach them to wood, etc. Oh, and they're motion-sensor lights, which will come in handy when you go to get a midnight snack.
"These are fantastic!" exclaimed a fan. "I have them in every closet that doesn't have an overhead light, and my pantry. They are charged right out of the box and hold a charge forever. Easy to install and the brightness is perfect — you can adjust that too. I love how you can pop them off the magnets and use them like a flashlight. My friends and family loved them so much that they bought them too."
The truth is, any home baker who wants to take their pastry skills to the next level will benefit from having a stand mixer, and, fun fact: This is the model that graces Ina Garten's kitchen. (Hers is white!) Yes, KitchenAids cost a pretty penny, but they're highly versatile appliances that are built to last ... and last. Trust me, when it comes to convenience, it'll pay for itself within the first few uses.
This 14-piece cookware set just about has it all: 8- and 11-inch frying pans, a 4.3-quart casserole with lid, 1.8- and 4.5-quart saucepans with lids, four pan protectors, a spatula and a mixing spoon. That's all for $66 — less than you'd pay for a single pan from many brands, so you're really getting a lot of bang for your buck. (Note: The cream color is currently priced the lowest, but the black set is just a few dollars more.)
We love nonstick pans for pancakes, eggs, fish and more — they make cooking easy and cleaning even easier. The Carote set is so nonstick and residue-proof that it wipes clean with a damp paper towel. Made from eco-friendly white granite, the pieces are PFOA- and PFOS-free. Plus, you can use them on any stovetop, including gas and induction.
Over 2,200 Amazon customers thought so highly of this cookware set, they gave it a five-star rating.
"I've had this set for about six weeks and I use [it] daily," shared one satisfied shopper. "Cleanup is a breeze, and when cooking, nothing sticks! Eggs slide right out, meats sear beautifully. I absolutely love that they aren't so darn heavy that I can't lift them!"
"I bought these for my sister after buying a set for my daughter-in-law," wrote a thoughtful gift-giver. "They look beautiful, clean very easily and the cooking temperature of the pan is very even."
"Gorgeous!" exclaimed a third convert. "They're so sturdy and well-made. We love cooking with these. And they're super easy to clean. We literally made homemade mac and cheese, and the residual cheese came right off with zero elbow grease. Amazing!"
"[My] only regret is I didn't get the set with detachable handles so I could put [them] in [the] oven," said an otherwise pleased reviewer, adding, "We love the colors they offer, and the set even comes with little pads to prevent [the] scraping of pots."
"I've cooked a lot in these pans and [have] experienced no staining yet, and I've put them through the wringer," wrote a final fan. "They do scratch easily, so I highly recommend hand washing and being mindful of the tools you're using and where you're storing them."
And if your knives are looking a little rusty, this bestselling set is also a steal:
