You might think the best sale items would be on the horizon — but you’d be wrong. Many are already here. I checked for the best deals on Dutch ovens, air fryers, chef’s knives, non-toxic utensils, and much more, and was delighted to see that some of our favorite items are on sale. Here’s what I found for the best kitchen and cooking deals happening this weekend.

These are just examples of the many deals to be had this weekend — look at what else I found.

Best Amazon Cookware Deals This Weekend

Whatever you like to cook, it’s essential to have at least a few dependable pieces of cookware, and a ton of top brands are on sale. I’m a big fan of All-Clad’s pots and pans, and use its D5 stainless steel saucepan all the time — it’s $70 off, a deal so enticing I might pick up a second one.

Viking 3-Ply Pots and Pans Set, 13-Piece

This huge set from Viking is worth it simply because of its great colander alone — I use the smaller version of it all the time. If you pick up this collection, featuring two frying pans, two saucepans, a sauté pan, a soup pot, a big stockpot, and a colander, you should be good to go on cookware for many, many years of cooking. Don’t miss this useful set while it’s $288 off.

Staub Cast Iron 4-Quart Round Cocotte

Like I said earlier, we also love Staub. My wife and I have nearly a dozen pieces, and I can confidently say this cocotte is one of the brand’s absolute best. It’s unbelievably durable and easy to clean; it heats evenly, and it’s easy to control for longer cook times, like if you’re making a soup, stew, or even some mole. Hard to overstate how much I love this cookware, so I recommend grabbing one while it’s only $206!

Whether you’re on the non-toxic grind right now or you’re just looking for a super sturdy collection of wooden utensils, these utensils are under $5 apiece while the set is on sale. 

Alpha Grillers Meat Thermometer

Chefs tell me all the time that the best tool to ensure superior grilling, roasting, searing, and beyond is a great meat thermometer. This one from Alpha Grillers is the No. 1 best-selling meat thermometer on Amazon, and it’s only $14 with a coupon right now, so don’t hesitate to grab one.

If you’re like me and usually carve the turkey or brisket in your house, it’s absolutely essential to have a sharp carving knife set you can rely on, and this 2-piece Henckels carving set is on sale this weekend.

They feature a full-tang construction, meaning that their stainless steel extends the full length of the knife, offering precision balance and leverage. You can never have too many good steak knives, especially if you enjoy entertaining, so begin (or add to) your collection while these are 40% off.

Victorinox 6-Inch Chef’s Knife

I used a ton of Victorinox knives when I worked in kitchens, and I still have a number of them at home. This 6-inch chef’s knife is incredibly light, wildly sharp, and very easy to keep clean. It has an ergonomic, non-slip Fibrox hard plastic grip that’s a joy to hold. Ultimately, $24 is a phenomenal price for such a great brand’s chef’s knife, especially if you’re looking for your first serious kitchen knife.

Best Amazon Small Appliance Deals This Weekend

Small appliances help us simplify cooking tasks and execute them properly. My Vitamix is definitely one of my most-used kitchen appliances. I love it for dips, sauces, smoothies, and even making nut butters. Grab one of these professional-grade blenders while it’s $51 off. Or, if you’re looking ahead to chillier months and see cozy, hearty stews and soups in your future, you can pick up a Crock-Pot slow cooker for the astonishingly low price of $36.

Breville Barista Express Espresso Machine

This blockbuster Breville espresso machine was named the best one in the game during our tests. We selected it as our top choice because it offers both automatic and manual operation options, several customizable settings, and a reasonable price. “In addition to allowing you to choose your grind setting, this machine adjusts its water pressure automatically as you use it, resulting in evenly extracted espresso with a dark color and lovely texture,” we said. “All of the machine’s components were extremely easy to clean by hand, especially the steam wand.” This top espresso machine is $100 off this weekend.
