Anova Precision Cooker
$219 $129 at Amazon
Our favorite sous vide machine with an onboard display (for those who worry about WiFi signals cutting out and ruining dinner) is 41% off at the moment. We found it to be easy to use and accurate—essential for an immersion circulator. For those who want an app-compatible machine, it does that, too.

Anova Precision Sous Vide Vacuum Sealer
$80 $57 at Amazon
Our compact vacuum sealer pick is easy to store and simple to use, as it just has three buttons. It comes with 10 pre-cut bags and has no refractory period (that’s the time in between sealings!).

Anova Precision Vacuum Sealer Pro
Amazon
$150 $100 at Anovaculinary.com
This is our favorite overall vacuum sealer and for good reason: not only does it seal exceptionally well (for both dry and wet items), it has a host of great features. We think you'll appreciate its cord storage and bag storage and cutter. Like the smaller Anova, it has no refractory period.

Vitamix 5200 Professional-Grade Blender
Amazon
$550 $392 at Amazon
Our all-time favorite Vitamix blender, the 5200, is marked down just in time for the new year. It's incredibly powerful, meaning it'll make quick work of everything from smoothies to purées. It's also not cheap, making this a great deal to take advantage of.

$113 $72 at Amazon
With a number of cooking presents, an attractive exterior, great performance, and a range of customization, the Cuckoo is one of our favorite rice cookers (and we tested 11 of them). Right now, it's 20% off.

Nesco VS-12 Deluxe Vacuum Sealer
Amazon
$140 $113 at Amazon
This vacuum sealer tied for first place in our tests, scoring high marks for its powerful suction, intuitive controls, and wide range of options. Whether you're looking to get into sous-vide cooking or just want to do more meal prep in the new year, this is a great tool to get you started.

Yosukata Carbon Steel Wok Pan
Amazon
$80 $60 at Amazon
This heat-treated wok is our pre-seasoned pick. We found it to be heat responsive with a slick surface, and we liked its helper handle and wooden handle that stayed cool to the touch.

KitchenAid Full-Size Dish Rack
Amazon
$67 $60 at Amazon
Our favorite dish rack is super solidly constructed and fits a whole lot of dishes without nary a plate wobbling. Its side walls are tall and supportive and its mat can be removed for easy cleanup. A truly great dish rack is one of those little luxuries you didn't know you were missing until you have it.

Solo Stove Bonfire 2.0
Amazon
$300 $225 at Solostove.com
We really, really liked this fairly smokeless fire pit from Solo Stove when we tested it (and the grill hub, which is also on sale) this past summer. It was easy to set up, burned very efficiently, and was a cinch to clean. And right now, it's $75 off.

MIU Fish Spatula
Amazon
$28 $25 at Amazon
With a smooth, grippy handle and a more offset head, this fish spatula is a top-notch pick for flipping burgers and fish. In fact, it's one of our three favorite fish spatulas (and we tested 12 of them).

ThermoWorks Thermapen ONE
Thermapen. Thermoworks
$109 $88 at Thermoworks
Our favorite instant-read thermometer is lightning-fast, incredibly accurate, packed with helpful usability features like an auto-rotating screen and auto-backlight.

Lodge 10.25-Inch Skillet
Amazon
$41 $25 at Amazon
After testing 22 cast iron skillets, this one from Lodge was the winner. It's durable, performs well, and is fairly inexpensive (even not on sale!). We think the 10.25-inch size works well for most people, but the larger 12-inch version is also on sale if you tend to cook for a crowd.

Cuisinart 1.5-Quart Frozen Yogurt, Ice Cream, & Sorbet Maker Cuisinart Pure Indulgence 2-Qt. Ice Cream Maker
Amazon
$70 $53 at Amazon
When we tested ice cream makers, this small, unassuming model from Cuisinart impressed us with its efficient churn time—20 minutes on average—and ability to produce smooth, creamy ice cream, sorbet, and frozen yogurt. It's incredibly easy use, and you can snag yours for 24% off today.
