Don’t Overlook These Early Prime Day Kitchen Deals — I Found the 10 Best Picks, Up to 44% Off

There’s nothing I love more than cooking or baking for myself or loved ones. And I especially love to experiment with a wide range of recipes. The more experience I’ve gained, the more I realize just how helpful it is to have a well-outfitted kitchenware collection. 

But as much as I want certain pieces, whether cookware or kitchen tools — I don’t have the budget for it. That’s what makes major sales important. I can finally shop the items that have been taking space on my wishlist for less. And Amazon Prime Day is a particularly exciting event, because so many summer essentials are available for less, from blenders to pizza ovens. If you’ve been waiting for the right time to buy pieces like I have, check out 10 of my must-buy Prime Day deals you can already shop below, up to 44% off.

Ninja Fit Compact Personal Blender

If you ask me, you can’t really go through summer without a personal blender. They’re great for refreshing smoothies, personal cocktails or mocktails, and help whizz up salad dressings with ease. I know many of us are on the search for one this time of year, and this 35% off compact model from Ninja is a good pick. It’s the number-one bestseller on Amazon’s list for personal blenders, raking in over 31,000 perfect ratings from users. It’s as simple as pushing and twisting to blend up everything in no time. It comes with a base, a 16-ounce cup, and a lid for a complete set. 

Lodge 12-Inch Pre-Seasoned Cast Iron Pan

If you don’t have a cast iron skillet, you’ve been sorely missing out. I consider it an essential piece of cookware, and you don’t need to spend a lot to have it. Lodge is a brand we love, and this now 43% off skillet is an excellent choice in my opinion. Sure, you can grab a classic skillet (also on sale), but this shape with the helper handles allows you to use the skillet in more places than just the stove because of its more compact design. It’ll work beautifully in the oven, on your grill or smoker, over a campfire, and of course any stovetop. The 12-inch diameter is more versatile than you’d expect, and it comes with pour spouts for seamless draining. There’s not much else you could need. 

Paudin 8-Inch Chef’s Knife

Ever tried to cut a tomato with a dull knife? Summer isn’t the time to be rattling around with old blades. (Honestly, for safety reasons, there’s actually no good time.) This Paudin model is one of our favorites, and it’s a low-stakes addition to any collection, now with a$24 price tag. Its sharp blade will help you cut through all of those summer tomatoes (and eventually fall and winter squash) without fuss. Not only did we find it to be sharp, but it’s well balanced and comfortable, making it an incredible value for this Prime Day price. 

Ninja 5.5-Quart Air Fryer

One of the most popular items I see people setting out to buy is an air fryer, and this time of year is the peak of its popularity. I completely understand why — they help get meals on the table fast, and they prevent the kitchen from getting hot. This Ninja air fryer is a popular favorite, and it’s 44% off today. Its 5.5-quart basket holds a little more than your average air fryer, yet it still won’t take up too much space at 11 by 14 by 14.75 inches. This front display makes it easy to select a variety of settings too. 

Vitamix Propel 510

Every time I go to use my Vitamix blender, I am glad I have it. Of all of my kitchenware, it ranks among the top of the list for durability and effectiveness. It’s key all year round, but can definitely be extra helpful this time of year, so I’m always on the lookout for deals to share. One of the brand’s newer models, the Propel 510, is nearly 30% off right now. It’s a great pick if you want something simple, but with a few extra functions. Use the dial to control the speed, or choose between the smoothie, soup, or frozen dessert setting. There’s also a pulse switch for control, plus the classic tapered 48-ounce pitcher for perfect blending. 

Instant Pot 10-Quart Air Fryer

If you’re in search of a bigger air fryer, you can’t go wrong with our favorite large-capacity pick. It’s 10 quarts in size, and has more of a traditional oven shape with a drop down door to make it easy to cook, roast, bake, air fry, and more. Based on its incredible cooking results, easy-to-use settings, and its added accessories, we think it’s an absolute steal at its original price. The 33% discount only makes it that much more worth it. 

Gozney Roccbox Pizza Oven

Prime Day is the time to shop outdoor cookware, and a pizza oven is one of the most anticipated picks. We love Gozney’s ovens, though it’s not always possible to have one of the bigger models on your patio or deck. Enter the Roccbox. It’s a portable option for the pizza lover who doesn’t want to fully commit to something that takes up too much space. Despite its more compact size, it can still heat to 950℉ and cook a pizza in 60 seconds, according to the brand. Score it $100 off today. 

Café Specialty Drip Coffee Maker

I’m in the market for a new drip coffee maker, and this Café Specialty model has always caught my eye. Not only is it visually appealing, but we also ranked it high after testing popular coffee makers. It’s our favorite programmable option on the market, thanks to its incredible features. You can operate it via WiFi (you know, from your bed), and it’ll whip up an incredibly tasty, hot cup of coffee in no time. We found that this carafe keeps the coffee hot better than a lot of other options on the market, which is key for me as someone who only drinks piping hot coffee. All the colors are on sale, but the white shade has a 40% discount, making it a tough pick to pass up. 

Cuisinart 1.5-Quart Ice Cream Maker

While there are ice cream lovers out there that’ll eat the frozen dessert on the coldest day of the year, a lot of us are craving it most over the summer. And this Cuisinart ice cream maker is discounted at the perfect time. We found it on sale in three shades, including white, light pink, and red. It’s very simple — the 1.5-quart bowl gets frozen before churning, you pop the ice cream base in, and you flip the front-facing switch to churn. The top stays open, which makes it easy to add any inclusions too. Score it nearly 30% off today. 

KitchenAid Artisan Series 5-Quart Tilt Head Stand Mixer

I’ve been using the family KitchenAid mixer for as long as I can remember (it’s still going after 20 years) and this year I’m finally buying one of my own so that I am not always monopolizing it. That means sales like Prime Day are incredibly important for scoring these wishlist items at a discounted price. I know I’m not alone, and luckily, this 10-speed, 5-quart model is on sale right now. It tilts up to let you pop the attachments (a whisk, a dough hook, and a paddle) on and off, and it gives you space to scrape the bowl or add ingredients. I’m eyeing the matte black, but it’s available in so many shades.
