This set is a perfect gift for anybody who doesn’t have a great wok (like my sister-in-law) — it includes tongs, a rice paddle, chopsticks, and a lid. Shoppers say this flat-bottom wok “performs beautifully” and is easy to clean.

Nordic Ware 1/8 Sheet Pan

This Nordic Ware sheet pan is not only great for baking small items, resting ingredients you’ve just cooked, and even serving meals — it’s also an ideal kitchen organization tool. (I wrote about why here.) It’s great to have a stack of them, and they’re 48% off right now for October Prime Day.

Best Amazon Tools, Gadgets, and Knives Deals

I love decking out my kitchen with stellar supporting gear like tools, gadgets, and knives. I’m a major fan of nakiri knives, and this great option from Mercer Culinary is 34% off right now, making it a nice, small gift for someone. It’s always good to upgrade to a clean, new cutting board, and my plastic option is a bit stained, so I’ll be checking out this 46%-off KitchenAid cutting board ASAP.

Winco Chinese Cleaver

It’s an absolute powerhouse that can take on everything from dense root vegetables to large proteins, and a great gift for anybody. At only $13, it’s one of those Amazon Prime Day kitchen deals you just can’t pass up.

Henckels Statement 2-Piece Carving Set

I’ve hosted Thanksgiving at my house for the past few years, and despite becoming pretty good at carving turkey, I’ve never owned a nice carving knife. This set from Henckels caught my eye when searching for October Prime Day kitchen deals. It features a sharp, durable blade and a nimble carving fork to help you get the angles you need. One shopper said they were pleasantly surprised how it “made me look like I knew what I was doing when I was carving the Thanksgiving turkey.” 

Best Amazon Kitchen Appliance Deals

Amazon pulled out all the stops when cutting prices on appliances for Prime Big Deal Days. I’ve been looking for a juicer for my brother for the holidays, and this top-of-the-line model from Omega is a whopping $150 off. My mother’s been looking for a new toaster — luckily for her, the Balmuda, which makes the best toast I’ve ever had, is discounted in a rare October Prime Day deal, too.

• Keurig K-Elite Coffee Maker, $150, originally $190
• Omega Cold Press Juicer, $250, originally $400

• Kaffe Electric Burr Coffee Grinder, $30 with coupon, originally $40
• Ninja Thirsti Drink System, $130, originally $180

Keurig K-Elite Coffee Maker

My mother also wants a new coffee machine, so I’m thinking of picking up this Keurig while it’s on sale for Amazon Prime Day and saving it for a future holiday. It has over 51,000 five-star ratings on Amazon, with fans saying it “combines style, convenience, and excellent performances, making it a must-have for any coffee lover.”

Balmuda The Toaster

I am not being hyperbolic when I say that Baluda’s toaster makes the best toast I’ve ever had. It uses steam technology to keep the inside of the bread from drying out while the exterior gets crispy and perfectly done. It’s got settings for pizza, pastries, different breads, and more, including an oven feature so you can heat up large dishes — and the discount makes it an incredible Amazon Prime Day kitchen deal.

Even after scoring all these deals for myself and my loved ones, I’ll surely continue shopping for October Prime Day deals. You, too, can continue shopping at our dedicated Prime Day page, or head over to the Prime Big Deal Days hub to scour millions of discounts.
