Amazon Prime Day is winding down, but there are still so many great kitchen deals to be had. As editors who have covered and shopped Prime Day for years, we’ve gotten pretty good at sifting through (quite literally) thousands of deals, and quickly, too. But whether you’re an expert or not, Prime Day can still be overwhelming—no matter who you are, when there are 50 vacuums to choose from, it’s tough! Our very best tip for shopping on Prime Day like a pro? Focus on the things you already want or need, instead of adding to cart just because something’s on sale.
That’s why our picks for the best kitchen deals during Prime Day are essentials that we love—and know you will, too. Think: a beloved cold brew maker for delicious drinks and affordable insulated water bottles that we tested and are even more budget-friendly.
From our virtual shopping bags to yours, here are the best Prime Day kitchen deals to take advantage of this year. You might also want to check out the best home deals and furniture deals before the sale wraps up—happy shopping!
1. Lodge Enameled Cast Iron Dutch Oven, 6 Qt, $79.90 $67.90
Two experts we spoke with raved about the versatility of Lodge’s enamel cast-iron Dutch oven, which is more than enough to convince us to add this to our carts. The only “problem”? There are a ton of colors on sale right now, so choosing your favorite’s going to be tricky!
2. Cuisinart ICE-30R Pure Indulgence 2-Quart Frozen Yogurt, Sorbet and Ice Cream Maker, $99.95 $69.95
Creamy, smooth homemade ice cream in less than 30 minutes—yea, we’re sold. This popular Cuisinart ice cream machine is the lowest it’s been in years, and at the rate at which we go through store-bought ice cream, will pay for itself in about one weekend. It doesn’t have a compressor to keep the treats frozen, unlike its bigger and more expensive counterpart, but let’s be real: We’re not going to need it.
3. Amazon Basics Reusable Silicone Baking Cups, $7.39 $4.80
Whether you’re baking cupcakes or muffins, you’ll want to grab these colorful silicone cups to prevent food from sticking to your baking tins. They’re reusable, too, so you’ll always have them on hand.
4. Bentgo Kids Leak-Proof, 5-Compartment Bento-Style Kids Lunch Box, $39.99 $18.49
Just like how we sometimes wait until a flea market is about to close to haggle, we’re glad we waited for this deal from one of our favorite kids’ lunch box brands. It’s slightly cheaper than it was on the first day of Prime Day, making it even more affordable for parents and caretakers.
5. Stasher Silicone Reusable Storage Bag, Bundle 7-Pack, $101.99 $71.39
If you’re ready to cut back on single-use plastic, Stasher’s silicone storage bags are on sale during Prime Day at 30 percent off—the same popular deal from last year. This seven-piece bundle gives you the most bang for your buck, with a range of sizes that fits everything from marinated chicken thighs to post-hike snacks. They’re also safe for the freezer, oven, microwave, dishwasher, and sous vide cooking—whew!
6. Rubbermaid 16-Piece Brilliance Food Storage Containers, $66.99 $41.99
Rubbermaid is synonymous with food storage, so we won’t be surprised if this deal on its popular containers is already in your carts. This set includes pieces that are sized just right for the fridge and pantry, that way you won’t have to deal with too-tall containers or lay them on their sides.
7. De'Longhi ECP3120 15 Bar Espresso Machine, $139.95 $104.95
A great entry-level espresso machine, this deal won’t set you back too much if you’re just getting started with homemade cappuccinos, lattes, and more. It’s also one of the smaller machines we’ve seen, which means it’ll save you counter space, too.
8. SodaStream Terra Sparkling Water Maker, $99.99 $59.99
For anyone who lives for sparkling water, this is the lowest price we’ve seen on SodaStream’s newest model. It’s cordless, sleeker than previous models, and the carbonation cartridge clamps onto the machine instead of being screwed in for added convenience. Consider grabbing a two-pack of the CO2 cartridges while you’re at it—it’s slightly discounted during Prime Day, plus you’ll get a $15 Amazon gift card.
9. Contigo Cortland Chill 2.0 Water Bottle, $40.99 $28.69
This two-pack deal makes the best affordable insulated water bottle we tested even more budget-friendly. It’s the lowest price we’ve seen yet for these bottles, so we’d recommend stocking up while the deal’s still hot.
10. Frigidaire EFIC103-AMZ-SC Counter Top Maker, $174.59 $114.70
For an ice maker that’s a little easier on your wallet, try this model that’s similar to the Frigidaire model we tested. It makes nine pieces of bullet-shaped ice every couple of minutes, so you’ll always have ice whenever you need it. The stainless-steel version is the only one on sale, but we don’t mind—the sleek look should blend right into any kitchen.
11. Takeya Patented Deluxe Cold Brew Coffee Maker, $27.99+ $19.59+
For the price of two cold brew coffees at a local shop, you can grab this popular brewer and make your own at home. The one-quart version we have has been holding steady for years, and at this price, we wouldn’t mind grabbing another.
12. KitchenAid Artisan Mini Plus 3.5-Qt. Tilt-Head Stand Mixer, $379.99 $259.99
If you tend to bake in smaller batches, the KitchenAid mini stand mixer is a solid deal and won’t take up the entire counter. It’s not the lowest price we’ve seen, but considering how much we’ve used our large KitchenAid mixer over the years, it’ll prove its worth in about oh, two baking sessions. Most of the colors are available at a Prime Day discount, and you’ve got your pick between a shiny or matte finish, too.
13. Dash Deluxe Rapid Egg Cooker, $29.99 $23.49
Ah, that Dash egg cooker. It’s been on sale during Prime Day each year, and we're always tempted to grab another one every time to have on hand as a gift. For anyone who loves to eat eggs (read: me), this little gadget is way more useful than you might expect.
14. KitchenAid Classic Mixing Bowls, Set of 3, $32.99 $23.36
Mixing bowls are like the kitchen equivalent of trinket catch-all trays—they’re practical, they’re pretty, and they’re endlessly versatile for storage, serving, and of course, mixing. These KitchenAid bowls also nest within each other for easy storage, have non-slip silicone bottoms, and come with a pour spout for less mess.
15. GE Profile Opal Countertop Nugget Ice Maker with Side Tank, $579 $429
The original version of the best ice maker we tested for nugget ice, the GE Opal can churn out 24 pounds of ice to chill all your drinks without the unnecessary extras like Wi-Fi capability that’ll add to the cost. While it’s still not an “affordable” investment, it is one that’ll come in so handy when temps start to soar.
16. Recess Mood Variety Pack, $49.35 $45.94
Okay, so this isn’t an essential tool, but during these trying times, it's definitely essential! For anyone who can use some extra calm (so, all of us), our favorite CBD-infused sparkling water from Recess is 20 percent off during Prime Day. Grab a multi-pack for your next weekend hang, or anytime-hang, really.
