Fall kitchen deals that'll save you up to 70%? That gets a big "Yes, chef!" (Amazon/Walmart)(Amazon/Walmart)
Can we all agree that fall is the best season for cooking and baking? The temps are cool enough to withstand a hot oven, and the holiday meal-prep madness isn't yet underway. Plus, there's all of that gorgeous produce: apples, butternut squash, pumpkins. Of course, being in the kitchen is more enjoyable when you're not using crusty cookware, and the start of a new season is the perfect time to swap out your old gear for some spiffy new tools. You won't have to drop a ton of cash, either — I'm seeing a cornucopia of culinary deals worth checking out.
As a former professional baker turned shopping writer, I seek out noteworthy sales on the daily to share with you. And because I have years of experience — both in the kitchen and hunting for deals — I know what makes a quality product, and how to spot a worthwhile price in a sea of exaggerated markdowns.
With that in mind, how does a bestselling KitchenAid stand mixer marked down by $60 sound? At under $300, it'll more than pay for itself given the amount of time (and arm effort) it'll save you. A gorgeous slow cooker from Drew Barrymore's kitchen line is also on sale for $50 — game-day chili, anyone? There's a whole lot more where those came from, so keep scrolling to see what else you can snag on sale. Happy saving!
The Barefoot Contessa herself approves of this wildly popular and versatile pan, which is made of durable cast iron that'll last for years. It comes pre-seasoned and can withstand heat from any cooktop — it can even be used over a campfire. Nothing's better when it comes to achieving the perfect sear on your meat — and I can say from personal experience that it makes the best pancakes too.

No one likes a stinky fridge! Keep odors at bay with this deodorizer that can last for up to a decade (yes, 10 whole years). Simply place it on a shelf and let it do its job.
More than 3,600 Amazon customers give it five stars and say it really works. "Having boiled eggs and onions in the refrigerator at the same time can be horrific," said one. "Baking soda cannot mask the smells, so I bought this to try, and to my surprise, it actually does make the refrigerator smell fresh. ... I would give it 10 stars if I could."
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.
Make food nice and crispy (even if it's soggy leftovers) with Ninja's 4-quart air fryer. This multitasker can also bake, reheat and dehydrate food. The buttons are pretty intuitive, so you can use it right out of the box with no issues. Grab it on sale at Walmart, where Ninja is marking down a lot of its kitchen items ahead of the holiday season.
"I love the brand, the color, the price and the compact size!" said one Walmart reviewer. "It cooks so fast. It's very easy to clean in the sink, but also doesn't take up much room in the dishwasher. Highly recommend it."
Mix, serve and store dishes in these stainless steel mixing bowls. The set includes five bowls ranging in size from 0.7 quarts to 4.5 quarts, and all come with colorful lids. Other perks: You can nest them in your cabinets to save space, they're dishwasher-friendly and they're dent- and rust-resistant.
This is your chance to grab Drew Barrymore's slow cooker on sale! Now, this is your standard slow cooker, just a whole lot prettier. It has five pre-set functions for meat, poultry, stew, soup and chili, and it automatically goes into warming mode when your meal is ready. Plus, it has gorgeous gold hardware, a sleek touchscreen, a stainless-steel lid rest and a removable dishwasher-safe ceramic insert you can use to serve a meal on the table. You won’t mind keeping this one out on the countertop.
"The color is gorgeous," shared one five-star fan. "I love the additional options for meat, soup and chili. It has a timer of up to 24 hours when placed on high, low or warm. The added lid holder is nice and it has a spot to wrap the cable when not in use. The large capacity is great."
Been dreaming of owning one of these bad boys? This classic model is $90 off and the best price we're seeing online!
Every kitchen needs a good pair of oven mitts, meaning those hole-filled ones in your drawer need to go. These top-sellers are heat-resistant up to 500°F, thanks to their silicone coating — and not only that, their ribbed design offers better grip than cloth mitts.
They're water-resistant to protect your hands from hot splatters and come in over 20 colors, though prices vary. (This blue pair is over 55% off, its lowest price ever!)
Emeril Lagasse's indoor smokeless grill is also an air fryer, but it can bake, roast, toast and dehydrate foods too. Bam! It might become your new favorite kitchen appliance. In addition to the oven itself, you'll also get a mesh crisper basket, a grill grate, a griddle pan, a baking tray and an oven rack. The drip tray will catch all the crumbs and drippings from your food, making cleanup a breeze. Plus, the tempered glass lid is dishwasher-safe.
"It truly is smokeless technology," confirmed one shopper. "We love the ability to use the oven portion to roast vegetables and grill burgers on top at the same time. The extra wide capacity helps create a dinner for four in half the time with half the appliances and none of the kitchen heat or headaches."
Spare yourself from lukewarm pumpkin spice lattes, thanks to this top-rated pair of double-wall insulated mugs. They'll keep the contents inside nice and hot, while the exterior remains cool enough for you to handle without burning your hands. (In the summer, they'll keep your iced drinks cold too.)
This is as low as they've ever been on sale for, FYI!
A dull knife just won't cut it when it comes to efficient (and safe) slicing and dicing. And if you'd rather not shell out for a whole new set of blades, you can hone the ones you already have courtesy of this nifty tool.
It has coarse, medium and fine settings for sharpening and polishing, and you can even adjust the sharpening angle. This is as low as we've seen it marked down to, so chop-chop!
What sets this beverage machine apart from a manual model like the SodaStream is the fact that it's electrically powered — no work needed on your part aside from choosing your preferred settings. On that note, this machine lets you customize the amount of bubbles in your drink (if you want any at all) as well as the flavor.
We've only ever seen it this low for Prime Day, meaning the time to buy is now. And while it still might seem like a splurge, just think of how much money it'll save you on canned or bottled soda and seltzer in the long run.
Tired of finding your family members' dirty dishes mixed in among the clean ones you washed? Make the state of your dishwasher crystal clear via this genius magnet.
Just move the slider to indicate whether the contents inside are clean or dirty so no one will have to guess. Oh, and we've never seen it lower than this.
How sleek is this dedicated kitchen vac? Sold exclusively at Target, it's a very fall- and winter-esque dark green and weighs just over 2 pounds. No, you won't want to clean your whole house with it, but it's just right for zapping up crumbs from the counter and kitchen floor. It'll run for up to 20 minutes before needing a charge — enough time to get into those hard-to-reach nooks.
"I was happily surprised [by] how easy this vacuum is to use and what great suction power it has," said a shopper. "The boost button really kicks it up a notch! It's a very attractive design, and the perfect size for my small children to use to clean up their area after dinner every night. It would be nice if it had a wall-mounted charging dock, but other than that it's perfect."
There's something so elegant about matte dinnerware, and while this set might look expensive, it's down to just $10 per setting. It comes with six stoneware dinner plates, salad plates and bowls, all of which are dishwasher- and microwave-safe. Now your holiday table will actually have cohesive place settings!
"This dinnerware is the best," raved a reviewer. "Huge dinner plates, which are great for dinner parties with a big meal. I use the salad plates for a light dinner. The soup bowls make a huge bowl of soup too. Beautiful addition to my dining decor."
Just looking at this beautiful stoneware set will make you excited to turn on your oven. Complete with six baking vessels of different sizes, you'll be able to make dishes sweet and savory, from casseroles and lasagna to pies and bread puddings. At nearly 50% off, this is the lowest we've ever seen it.
"Very nice cookware," swooned a shopper. "[It] cleans up easily without a lot of scrubbing. [You can] use it on top of the stove or in the oven and in the microwave. Glad I purchased them."
If there's one thing I can't be without, it's a metal sheet tray. From roasting vegetables to whole chickens — and don't forget about baking cookies! — these kitchen superstars are incredibly versatile and durable.
I also like to use sheet trays when I'm making lasagna or dishes that are at risk of bubbling over — I just place my cooking vessel on top of a sheet tray in the oven, so the tray can catch any cheese or sauce that escapes. Easier to clean the tray than scrape up caked-on messes from the bottom of the oven! This set has large, medium and small trays to suit all kinds of needs, and at $25 for four, it's a total bargain.
