Prime Day Was Just Announced—Here Are the Best Early Kitchen Deals You Can Get Right Now
Serious Eats / Kevin LiangIn case you haven’t heard, Amazon just announced its Prime Day dates…and they’re less than three weeks away (July 16 and 17!). There are bound to be deals, steals, and sales aplenty. Suffice it to say, we’re excited. Just like you, dearest reader, we wait all year to grab the Vitamix we’ve been eying, the kitchen towels we love for less than a dollar a piece, and an espresso machine that’ll fuel equipment reviews and recipe testing for years to come. The good news is that you don’t have to wait for Prime Day. There are some truly excellent deals already out there. We should know: We sorted through pages and pages of sales to bring you 10 that we think are worth buying.The Absolute Best Blender: Vitamix 5200 Professional-Grade BlenderAmazonWe’ve quite actually recommended this Vitamix blender since 2014 when Kenji first reviewed it. Its tapered jar sucks ingredients down into its blades, creating a vortex that produces super-smooth sauces, purees, smoothies, etc, etc, etc. Its controls are simple, too: just a couple of switches and a dial. It’s everything you need and nothing you don’t—and it’s 26% off.Serious Eats / Will DickeyOne of the Best Sous Vide Machines: Anova Culinary Sous Vide Precision CookerAmazonSlow and steady wins the sous vide race. This Anova Precision Cooker has been a longtime Serious Eats favorite. (Note: We currently recommend the 2.0 version, but will be testing the 3.0 one soon…it looks identical). It’s accurate, heats up water fairly quickly, and has an onboard display and a compatible app. Right now, it’s 36% off.Serious Eats / Russell KilgoreThe Best Sparkling Water Maker: SodaStream ArtAmazonOur favorite soda maker not only makes the best bubbles but features a cage-style CO2 loading system (much easier than inserting it into the bottom of the machine) and a sleek look, so you’ll actually want to keep it on the countertop. This on-sale bundle even comes with CO2 cartridges.Serious Eats / Jesse RaubThe Best Hand Mixer: Breville the Handy Mix ScraperAmazonWe called this “the Cadillac of hand mixers” in our review. It has every feature you could want, including rubber-coated beaters, a built-in timer, a digital display, and a light that shines into the mixing bowl. Right now, it’s $50 off.Serious Eats / Afton CyrusThe Best Wok: Yosukata Carbon Steel Wok Pan AmazonPre-seasoned and with solid heat responsiveness (what you need for stir-frying), our favorite flat-bottomed, carbon steel wok is reasonably priced and has a slick surface. We like its wooden handle that stays cool even on high heat and its extra helper handle. Don’t forget to clip the extra 5% off coupon before adding it to your cart for the full discount.Serious Eats / Russell KilgoreThe Best Gas Grill: Weber Spirit II E-310 3-Burner Gas GrillAmazonIf someone were to ask us, generally, what gas grill they should get, the Weber Spirit II E-310 would be our answer. It has three burners, two side tables, tool hooks, and two large wheels for easily moving it. In our tests, it ignited easily every single time. Plus, you’ll get Weber’s truly phenomenal customer service.Serious Eats / Russell KilgoreThe Best Dish Towels: Zeppoli Classic Kitchen TowelsAmazonEvery cook needs a stack of super-cheap, versatile kitchen towels they don’t care much about. These towels are exactly that, boasting a 141% absorbency rate in our tests—ideal for using as pot holders, mopping up spills, or drying herbs. Clip the coupon for 20% off right now, which makes the towels just a little over $1/piece.Serious Eats / Grace KellyA Pellet-Powered Pizza Oven: Ninja WoodFire Outdoor Pizza OvenAmazonThis is like a hybrid between a pizza oven and a pellet grill. In our tests, it didn’t get as hot as our other winners, but it yielded nice, slightly smokey pies. It has a range of other settings, too, like roasting (we’re interested in trying a whole chicken in it). We also liked its clearly labeled digital control panel.Serious Eats / Nick SimpsonOne of Our Favorite (Cheap!) Chef’s Knives: Mercer Culinary Genesis 8-Inch Chef’s KnifeAmazonWith a grippy, rubber handle and a super, super sharp blade, this is a steal of a chef’s knife. We’ve recommended it for many years and it’ll serve you well for slicing and dicing.Serious Eats/Dera BurresonThe Best Vacuum Sealer: Anova Precision Vacuum Sealer ProAmazonWith built-in bag storage and a bag cutter, moist and dry settings, and no refractory period (that’s the wait time in between sealings), this vacuum sealer is our favorite for a reason. Right now, it’s $50 off.Serious Eats / Nick SimpsonFAQsWhen is Prime Day 2024?According to Amazon, Prime Day 2024 will be on July 16 and 17 (that’s a Tuesday and Wednesday!).
