KitchenAid Go Cordless Bundle

This collection of mini kitchen essentials has totally changed the way I cook. The bundle comes with a mini battery-operated vacuum, food chopper, and handheld mixer. Since they’re all cordless, I don’t have to worry about finding an outlet. Head to Amazon to snag the set while it’s on sale for Prime Day.

Breville Barista Express Espresso Machine

I recently had the chance to test out this popular Breville espresso machine, and it’s safe to say it’s worth the hype. The Amazon best-seller has over 20,500 five-star ratings, and it’s surprisingly easy to operate. Shoppers say that it “easily pays for itself,” and if you shop now you can save $200 on yours.

Vitamix 5200 Blender

This professional-grade blender is one of my most prized possessions. It’s not only powerful and built to withstand years of everyday use, but it’s also versatile. It’s great for smoothies, sauces, and even soups, since the blades spin fast enough to heat up cold ingredients in minutes. 

Our Place Always Pan 2.0

Our Place’s aptly-named Always Pan is my go-to piece of cookware for sautéing, searing, braising, shallow frying, and so much more. The nonstick ceramic pan comes with a wooden spoon that nests onto the handle as well as a stainless steel steamer, and you can snag it for 31% off in your choice of six different colors.

KitchenAid Grain and Rice Cooker

It’s hard to achieve the perfect texture when you’re making rice on the stovetop, which is why I think every kitchen needs a quality rice cooker. This genius one from KitchenAid is my absolute favorite, thanks to its smart sensors that measure the rice and add just the right amount of water for deliciously fluffy results every time. Best of all, you can save 37% if you buy it today.

Henckels 15-Piece Knife Set

There’s nothing worse than prepping with dull blades, so if you can only buy one thing on Amazon Prime Day, make it this knife set. The collection comes with a paring knife, chef’s knife, bread knife, steak knives, and more, all in an attractive wooden block. The stainless steel stamped blades are made from a single piece of metal, making them lightweight yet durable. The brand promises they’ll stay sharp for longer than others in your collection.

Lodge 10.25-Inch Cast Iron Skillet

Our favorite cast iron skillet from Lodge is 42% off for Prime Day. Food & Wine testers call it “the benchmark for cast iron pans,” and over 56,800 shoppers seem to agree. The pan is easy to clean, releases food easily, and comes pre-seasoned, meaning it’s ready to use as soon as you unpack it from the box.

Fullstar Vegetable Chopper

This food chopper made it easy to increase my vegetable intake. The tool is an Amazon best-seller with over 79,300 five-star ratings. “I can now make a salad in just a few minutes,” wrote one shopper. It comes with four blade attachments for large dice, small dice, spirals, and ribbons, as well as several cleaning tools so food won’t get stuck in the nooks and crannies. Snag yours now while this set is over 50% off.
