We believe in the value of a good investment, at least when it comes to kitchen gear. But that doesn’t mean you have to spend all your hard-earned cash on appliances and cooking tools. Sales, like this year’s Amazon Prime Day, are a perfect time to pick up cookware and appliances. I’ve been testing kitchen gear for years and reviewed hundreds of items, like pots, pans, toaster ovens, and blenders.

I don’t want you to spend a penny on anything that isn’t a great deal, so I’ve combed Amazon’s early Prime Day deals for kitchen gear the Serious Eats team has rigorously tested and recommends. Now’s the best time to buy these 15 items, and you’ll be enjoying them for years.

Enameled cast iron Dutch ovens are wishlist items for many cooks, and for good reason: They’re pricey. But buy a good one, and it won’t only last you decades, you also get an outstanding lifetime warranty. That’s why we’ve been recommending the Le Creuset Dutch oven for as long as we’ve been testing it. I own two (in the 5.5-quart and 7-quart sizes) and they’re my most prized kitchen possessions. Right now, select colors are almost 30% off.

If you take your coffee seriously and want the convenience of a programmable automatic drip machine, you cannot do better than the OXO Brew 9-Cup Coffee Maker. It’s been a Serious Eats favorite for years, thanks to its superior extraction and easy-to-use interface. The thermal carafe is the icing on the cake. (Or should I say, the cream in the coffee?) It’s currently on sale for $30 off!

There are a ton of air fryers out there, and most of them are pretty good. But I’ll give it to you straight: The one you need is from Instant. It’s got everything you need in an air fryer—quick cook time, easy-to-clean parts, and a relatively small footprint—and it makes incredible food. It’s always a good buy, but right now it’s discounted for Prime Day. If you’re shopping for an air fryer, buy this one now.

Weber

Weber’s known for its best-in-the-backyard grills, and it dominated our gas grills review. One of our favorites, the Spirit E-210, is a smart buy because it features 450 square inches of cooking space, which is pretty roomy for a two-burner grill. It also comes with two side tables and has wheels. Aaaand…It’s on sale for $150 off!

Breville appliances consistently top our reviews, and the Super Q blender is an excellent example of why. It’s a high-speed blender (that means it has a powerful motor) and comes with presets that work just as well as the manual speeds. It’s called “Super Q” because it’s whisper-quiet—well, almost—while it’s running. I’ll add that it looks pretty smart on a countertop! Knock $50 off the price for Prime Day this year.

Frankly, I can’t believe this immersion circulator (a.k.a. sous vide machine) is discounted so steeply. It’s an incredible buy, and it’s the immersion circulator I use at home. The app is great, but I usually use the onboard display, which is intuitive and helpful. It heats up a water bath fast.

I significantly reduced food waste once I started using a vacuum sealer to preserve ingredients, like fresh produce and meat. These tools are also very handy if you use a sous vide machine, because they create a tight seal that won’t let in water. Did I mention they’re also excellent for infusing marinades? This one from Anova won our review, and it’s significantly less expensive than usual during Prime Day.

Did you know that stainless steel pans are naturally non-toxic? They can also withstand high heat, and they’re practically indestructible. We recommend this one from Tramontina because it’s a good mix of affordability and performance. For Prime Day, it’s on sale for over half off. Enough said!

Pro chefs LOVE these kitchen towels. (They’re called “side towels” in restaurant kitchens!) With an absorption rate of 144%, they’re a solid replacement for paper towels, too. They come in a large pack of 12 and are simply fantastic, all-purpose towels. You’ll use them all the time.

Bentgo

This Bento box wouldn’t dream of squishing your sandwich. During our tests, it excelled at keeping food separate, thanks to a removable silicone divider. It’s dent-proof and big enough for a few different food items. You can get one for $10 off during Prime Day, and all of the colors are discounted.

If you sip your coffee slowly, you deserve a temperature-controlled mug. Ember is the best in the game: No other smart mug offers such a long charge, even when away from the charging pad. You can even use Ember’s app to set your mug to a specific temperature—that’s so cool. I mean, hot. Ember mugs aren’t cheap, but right now you can get one for almost 20% off.

If you don’t have the backyard space for a gas grill and a flat-top grill, join the club. But Weber’s cracked that code with a griddle insert compatible with many of their gas grills. My colleague, Grace Kelly, tested it and has been singing its praises since: It’s a must for big batches of bacon and won’t make your entire house smell like a diner.

The best portable Weber grill is on sale for over 20%. If that hasn’t convinced you, let me share a few more stats. It’s got almost 200 square inches of cooking space, a removable drip tray, and two side tables. It’s less than 40 pounds and gets really hot: everything you could want in a portable grill.

This was the cheapest splatter screen we tested, but it held its own. Our stovetop remained grease-free, and the silicone handle stayed cool to the touch. And at $5 off, it's even more affordable for Prime Day.

We couldn't ask anything more of these classic ramekins. They stack comfortably, baked sky-high soufflés, and have ribbed sides for easier grabbing. They were a good deal, but they're currently on sale for almost 40% off.
