Thanks to the official arrival of fall, it's finally cool enough to turn the stove on without feeling like a sweaty mess — hooray! I'm particularly excited about spending more time in the kitchen — before I started writing about cookware and meal prep tools for Yahoo, I was a professional baker, and still enjoy whipping up dishes both sweet and savory. Of course, cooking is way more enjoyable when you've got the proper equipment, and thanks to the deals at Walmart this week, you can scoop up some of my essentials for a steal.
A set of pots and pans is a must (try this 17-piece cookware set for just $90), along with sheet trays for roasting and knives that are actually, you know, sharp! Appliances like air fryers and pressure cookers are helpful for when you don't want to wait for the oven to preheat, and, true story, a toaster oven once saved my Thanksgiving dinner (I love this Emeril Lagasse option that's down to $60 from $169).
There's more where those came from. Ready to see all of my fall food prep must-haves on sale at Walmart? Alright, let's get cookin'!
