Simply Gourmet Measuring Cups & Spoons Set

This set includes six measuring cups and six spoons, all stainless steel, so you can ensure you’re being as accurate as possible with your cooking. Over 4,000 shoppers picked up this set in just the past month — snag one while it’s $15 off.

Peugeot Paris u’Select Pepper Mill

Joe Nierstedt, chef and co-owner of Katsubo Chicken + Ramen in Charleston, South Carolina, says, “I believe good-quality fresh pepper enhances things while also keeping it simple. These pepper mills are beautiful and classic. Fresh pepper is a great go on everything from salads to poultry and seafood. Don’t be scared to even break it out on some fruit, like strawberries.” During our pepper grinder testing, we found it excelled at producing fine and medium grinds for your black pepper.

Unicook Flexible Silicone Spatula Set

Spatulas that can handle high heat without shedding toxic chemicals are another item on Alvarez’s shopping list. This set includes two silicone spatulas: one solid and the other slotted for draining oil and liquids. The non-toxic cooking utensils are heat-resistant up to 600°F and won’t scratch nonstick or cast iron cookware.

Zwilling Kramer Knife Sharpening Set

Morgan Lewis, executive chef of Hall’s Catch in Nashville, Tennessee, counts a sharpening stone among their wish list items. This whetstone set, designed in conjunction with legendary knifemaker Bob Kramer, offers stones in 400, 1,000, and 5,000 grits that rest on a sturdy stand. Its design and effectiveness earned this set a Best Splurge rating in our whetstone testing.

OXO Good Grips 11-Pound Stainless Steel Kitchen Scale

Weight is a more accurate measure than volume, particularly in baking. In keeping with Alvarez’s search for good measuring tools, we offer this food scale. We awarded it the title of best-designed kitchen scale after testing 16 models. The honorific is due primarily to its detachable display, which allows you to view the weight, even when you’re measuring ingredients in larger vessels.

Villeroy & Boch Manufacture Rock Rectangular Serving Plate

Rakim Gaines of Capella on 9 in Asheville, North Carolina, says, “I like to search for big plates. Mostly for when company is over and I want to present a beautiful dish.” This 13.75- x 7.5-inch rectangular porcelain plate features a natural rock finish, and its matte black color allows the natural colors of your food to pop, enhancing the presentation.

Le Creuset Enameled Cast Iron Signature 6.75-Quart Dutch Oven

Enameled cast iron brings the heat retention and conductivity of the iron while forgoing the constant seasoning required of bare metal. Alvarez is looking forward to deals in this cookware area, and this Dutch oven, the smaller cousin to our favorite splurge model, is on sale. Le Creuset is one of the top manufacturers of enameled cast iron cookware, producing generational heirloom-quality cookware that’s highly functional and visually appealing. Its cookware and grillware rates consistently high in our testing. This 6.75-quart Dutch oven is only one of the many great Le Creuset Prime Day deals you can shop today.

Global Model X 8-Inch Classic Japanese Chef’s Knife

“I’ve used the Global 8-Inch Chef Knife for over 25 years. It’s not heavy, and it holds its edge well,” says Chris Stewart, owner and executive chef of The Glass Onion in Charleston, South Carolina. Global knives are well-balanced, hold and take an edge easily, and feature the signature slip-resistant grip. During our testing, the original Global model became our favorite all-steel chef’s knife. Look for deals on other Global knives during Amazon’s October Prime Day.

Kyoku 8-Inch Shogun Series Chef Knife

Alvarez had his sights set on several items for Prime Day. Another wish was a Japanese chef’s knife. This 8-inch Damascus steel blade is specifically honed to retain its edge and provide precise cuts. The through-tang handle is sturdy and slip-resistant, and the balanced blade helps prevent arm fatigue.

Anova Culinary Sous Vide Precision Cooker 3.0

The Anova Culinary Sous Vide Precision Cooker 3.0 provides constant-precision water bath heating for sous vide cooking, which is “good to ensure things are being cooked properly and not overcooked. The only thing you would have to do is sear the meat,” according to executive chef Josh Gadsden of High Cotton in Charleston, South Carolina. I’ve tested many sous vide cookers and found the Anova models among the most consistent and reliable.

Cuisinart 9-Cup Continuous Feed Food Processor

“I use [a Cuisinart food processor] on a regular basis for everything from cutting butter into flour to make dough, grating cheese, making emulsions, and even kneading doughs. You can do it all in this machine. One of the coolest and most rewarding things I’ve done using one is making a proper aioli that was mind-blowingly smooth and delicious,” says Matt Bolus, chef and partner of The 404 Kitchen in Nashville, Tennessee. Cuisinart is a perennial favorite in many of our tests, including food processors.

Shun Classic 6-Inch Utility Knife

Brandon Sharp, Managing Partner and Executive Chef of Próximo in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, says, “I usually look for a premium Japanese knife and grab a few to give as gifts to my sous chefs. It’s rare to find them at much of a discount.” Shun is a top brand across many of our tests, from knife sets to honing steels.

These are just some of the recommendations we received from chefs, and only some of the thousands of deals on kitchen equipment, cookware, tools, and outdoor cooking appliances and equipment during October Prime Day. Look for grills, smokers, pans, thermometers, and more during the two-day event.
