The Best Amazon Prime Day Deals, According to a Food Writer

Amazon’s October Prime Day has commenced, bringing millions of deals to your fingertips. As a food writer who’s tested hundreds of kitchen products and shopped thousands, I sift and sort through the sales for you, saving you time, energy, and money in your pursuit of the year’s best Prime Day kitchen deals. In doing so, I’ve come across cookware, tools, and small appliances marked down up to 50%, and I’m sharing the 14 best of those deals in this list. Take a look through my top picks and save up to $260 on All-Clad, Breville, and Instant kitchenware that will last eons in your home.

Many of the steepest Prime Day discounts I found are on kitchen products our editors already love. Amazon slashed prices on non-toxic food storage containers, like 25% off a Rubbermaid glass set that aced our tests — not a discount to sneeze at when it comes to the food storage category. Also, save over 40% on an Iceman ice maker, land a 49% discount on a Wüsthof knife block set, or grab an editor-recommended Vitamix blender at $260 off.

This Instant Pot Vortex Plus Mini is a smaller version of our top air fryer pick, perfect for tiny kitchens. Achieve crispy chicken wings and potato fries without the bulk of a full-sized air fryer, for 50% off.

Nespresso Vertuo Coffee and Espresso Machine by De’Longhi with Milk Frother

Nespresso machines and their convenient coffee pods make quick work of your daily joe. This particular machine holds 54 ounces of water, meaning less refilling and more caffeinating. Grab both the coffee maker and milk frother for $107 less than usual.

Clorox Home Air Purifier

Rubbermaid Brilliance Glass Food Storage Containers, Set of 9

We love everything about these glass food storage containers. Safe in the freezer, fridge, microwave, oven, and dishwasher, they won’t discolor and deteriorate over time like plastic, and they’re listed at a 25% discount. While that’s not the largest percentage off, that’s a pretty great deal for a full set of non-toxic containers.

ChefAide Silicone Spatulas, Set of 4

Silicone spatulas are not only a home cooking essential, but also the best replacement for your old black plastic utensils that can leach toxic chemicals into food. This set is dishwasher-safe, gentle on nonstick cookware, and perfect for scraping bowls and jars. Get it while it’s just $5.

Don’t just sit there — John Boos cutting boards consistently top our cutting board tests and are celebrity chef-loved, and Amazon dropped the price of this reversible wooden butcher block for the first time in three years. The brand doesn’t go on sale very often, so don’t miss your chance to ditch your plastic cutting boards for this fantastic wood option.
