We’re deep into Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days, otherwise known as Amazon Prime Day: Part Deux, and these Prime Day kitchen deals are hotter than a thoroughly preheated Lodge cast-iron skillet (which is on sale right now, by the way).
The best kitchen gear to buy this Prime Day
While we’re on the topic of cast iron, it’s worth mentioning that this October Prime Day sale is a great time to save on Le Creuset’s 6- and 7.5-quart enameled cast iron Dutch ovens (you can stock up for holiday cooking or gifting). Or perhaps you’d like to grace your countertop with a shiny new espresso machine, upgrade to an air fryer oven from the basket-style kind, or treat yourself to that Vitamix blender you’ve been eyeing so you can start making smoothies at home every morning. Because our favorite Vitamix blender—the one that kept selling out during the summer Prime Day Sale—is miraculously still on sale as of Tuesday night. In addition to the impressive small appliance deals, you’ll also find great deals on frying pans, cookware sets, helpful gadgets, and so much more.
So if you’ve been meaning to upgrade your kitchen gear—or perhaps get ahead of your holiday shopping so you can leisurely enjoy Thanksgiving leftovers on Black Friday like we used to back in the good old days—you don’t want to miss these Amazon October Prime Day deals.
How to get the very best kitchen deals
Prime Day is practically a national shopping holiday at this point, so anyone can save at least a few bucks on items at Amazon and competing retailers through Wednesday night—no coupon required. But here’s the thing about those really big discounts: During Amazon’s big sales events, the very best deals are exclusive to Prime Members. The good news is that if you’re not already an Amazon Prime member, you can still sign up for a free 30-day trial right now and take advantage of the trending deals as they happen (and we won’t even judge if you cancel before the trial is over). Just be sure you’re logged into your new Prime account by the time you get to checkout.

Prime Day deals on stand mixers
KitchenAid stand mixers are our top pick for most home bakers for a reason: They’re solidly constructed, easy to use, and they’ll last for decades. Currently, you can snag a deal on a couple of KitcheAid’s stand mixers: There’s the classic KitchenAid Artisan Series 5-Quart model, and the cute little Artisan Mini. At 3.5-quarts, the mini isn’t so mini that it’s impractical—just small enough that it’s easier to tuck under your overhead cabinets or into a cupboard than some of its larger siblings. Still plenty big enough for a batch of chocolate chip cookies. Also keep in mind that KitchenAid stand mixers sell out quickly, but they’re often replaced with comparable models or alternate colors, so if you don’t see what you’re looking for right now be sure to bookmark this story and check back often. If you’re looking for something less spendy, you can save $100 on the comparatively affordable Instant Stand Mixer Pro, which the reviewers at Epi were pretty pleased with.
Prime Day deals on baking gear
Perhaps you already have a high-quality stand mixer. Not to worry; we have you covered with plenty of discounted equipment to level up your holiday baking game this season. Snag a trusty wooden rolling pin and make a lattice-topped pie to put your apple picking bounty to good use, or pick up one of our favorite sheet pans for all of those holiday cookies you plan to make this year.
Prime Day deals on coffee and espresso gear
No matter how you like to make coffee—in a ritualistic pour over, an elegant French press, or a top-of-the line espresso machine—now is time to up your barista game. Save big on a number of coffee tools and gadgets, including BA’s favorite single-serve coffee maker (spoiler alert: it’s not a Keurig, it’s a Nespresso), another one our friends at Epi were pretty impressed with, and the best drip coffee machines money can buy.
Deals on coffee makers and espresso makers
Whether you’re pulling an espresso shot for one or brewing a pot for the whole family, we guarantee there’s a coffee maker deal for you.

If you’re all set on the coffee maker front, can we interest you in an upgraded grinder, milk frother, or kettle?
Prime Day deals on cookware
The Amazon Prime Day cookware deals are very good this year, so we highly recommend upgrading your pots and pans. Now’s the time to swap out that nonstick egg pan that’s been a little sticky lately and finally bite the bullet on that name brand Dutch oven you’ve gazed at longingly, whispering “someday.” Right now, you can get cookware from our favorite brands, including Le Creuset and All Clad, at incredible prices.

Prime Day deals on toaster ovens and air fryers
Would it be a Prime Big Deal Days event without steep discounts on all the best air fryers? No, no it would not. Many of our favorite air fryers are on sale as we speak. Whether you’re interested in a big toaster oven-style air fryer you can use to roast a whole bird, or you want a smaller basket-style air fryer for making a single batch of super crispy potatoes, there’s a deal for you below.
Deals on basket-style air fryers
Are you planning on using your air fryer to crisp up fries more so than roasting whole chickens? Are you cooking for a household of one, two, maybe three? Do you want an appliance you can easily stash away when not in use? If the answer to any of those questions is yes, you probably want to consider opting for a basket-style air fryer. During this October Prime Day sale we’re happy to see deals on models and brands we know like Ninja Foodi, Cosori, and Dash. They range in size from 2-quart minis that can make a basket of tater tots for one to our favorite XXL unit from Philips. With dishwasher-safe nonstick baskets and easy-to-use interfaces, these countertop cookers couldn’t be more convenient for crisping up leftovers and even veggies.
Deals on toaster oven-style air fryers and toaster ovens
If you have the space for one, we’re a big fan of the toaster oven-style air fryer for its endless versatility and large capacity. We’ve included deals for both air frying models and dedicated toaster ovens, so make sure to double check on the exact functions and capabilities of the model you’re interested in.
Prime Day deals on blenders
This is the time to get a deal on the Vitamix 5200, our most recommended Vitamix blender. Right now you can save $100 on that model. Some of our other favorite blenders are on sale too, including the more affordable Vitamix Explorian, our favorite standard blender (the KitchenAid K150), and the ultra-portable Cuisinart EvolutionX Cordless Blender. We also found deals on immersion blenders, which are arguably the best tools to use for tasks like pureeing soups and blitzing up small batches of pesto.

Prime Day deals on Instant Pots
Instant Pots seem to be one of the world’s most beloved Prime Day purchases year after year, and we can see why: These best-selling do-it-all appliances give the OG Crock-Pot a run for its money and combine the functions of a slow cooker, pressure cooker, sauté pan, rice cooker, egg cooker, and more. These days, some Instant Pot models can even air fry—a major win for those looking to condense their appliance collections.
Prime Day cleaning deals
We know you’re here for the kitchen and cooking deals, but with lots of cooking comes lots of cleaning—and today you can snag a Dyson cordless vacuum or a iRobot Roomba up to 29% off, a Blueair smart air purifier for 24% off, and a bundle of our fave dish towels for 29% off. Our tip: If you buy one thing this Big Deal Days, make it those dish towels. Yours could probably stand to be replaced.
Prime Day deals on gear to go
Once upon a time, we rounded up all the best food storage containers for every lunch, leftover, and whatever ingredients you like to buy in bulk. That list included reusable, silicone Stasher bags and Zip Top bags, which BA staffers use to store everything from soups to sandwiches to cookie dough. We also featured this OXO Good Grips glass container set, which food director Chris Morocco says is one the best glass container sets around. All of these—and more—are on sale for Prime Day.
Prime Day deals on other small kitchen appliances
The Prime Day deals on kitchen appliances keep on coming, and we’re glad to report that our favorite food processors, rice cookers, and ice cream makers are all on sale. There’s also a major discount on a nugget ice maker that will instantly catapult you to top tier party host status. But that’s not all—the portable Ooni Frya 12 pizza oven is currently 25% off. Do you need a pizza oven? Maybe, maybe not. Do you want a pizza oven? Associate food editor Kendra Vaculin says YES.
Prime Day deals on knives and knife sets
No offense to the Slap Chop guy, but the best vegetable chopper is, and always will be, a good chef’s knife. Of course, the best chef’s knives don’t come cheap, but today you’ll find many of our favorites—from brands like Global, Victorinox, Henckels, and Zwilling—on sale for up to 60% off. You can also snag stellar deals on bread knives, paring knives, and butcher knives.
Prime Day kitchen deals under $25
Big ticket items are getting a lot of attention today (and rightfully so), but don’t forget about those smaller kitchen tools that make everyday cooking and cleaning a little easier. If the measurements have worn off of your old measuring cups or if your spatulas are warped, these deals are for you. Now’s also a great time to get an instant-read meat thermometer that’ll guarantee perfectly cooked steaks, a digital food scale that’ll take your baking game to the next level, a handheld citrus squeezer, some new vegetable peelers, and definitely a sharp new pair of kitchen shears. Also hear us out: consider a salad spinner.
