As people who keep a close eye on kitchen equipment deals year-round, we’re always thrilled to see our favorite gear on sale. Right now, Amazon is filled with discounts from some of our most-loved brands, so of course we had to report on the deals we think are worth considering. From countertop appliances to cookware, we’ve spotted up to 47% off Breville espresso machines, Le Creuset Dutch ovens, Vitamix blenders, and more.

Even sinewy kale was no match for the Vitamix 5200 during our tests. This powerful blender produces silky soups, smoothies, and sauces, barely leaving behind any visible fibrous material. The analog dial offers great speed control and the tall, tapered jar promotes even blending of its contents.

Le Creuset Enameled Cast Iron Signature Round Dutch Oven

Amazon Prime Day Le Creuset Enameled Cast Iron Signature Round Dutch Oven Flame

Save $100 on the Dutch oven we’ve recommended for years. Le Creuset Dutch ovens excel at heat retention and distribution, resulting in evenly seared pork shoulder and golden brown fried plantains. The handles are comfortable to hold and the smooth enamel interior resists stains.

Weber Spirit II E-310 Gas Grill

Amazon Prime Day Weber Spirit II E-310 3-Burner Liquid Propane Grill, Black

Aside from Weber’s great customer service, we love how easy it is to set up and use this gas grill. Burgers are cooked evenly on the Weber Spirit, which is easy to clean once you’ve finished grilling. With three independently controlled burners and 529 square inches of cooking space, the Weber Spirit can also comfortably accommodate larger batches of food.

Staub 3.5-Quart Braiser

STAUB Braiser with Glass Lid

Amazon

No meatballs went mushy during our testing of Staub’s braiser. With a wide bottom and shallow walls, the braiser promoted moisture evaporation, resulting in delightfully seared meatballs. This version has a glass lid to allow for easy tracking of your food's progress.

Cuckoo Micom Rice Cooker

Cuckoo Micom Rice Cooker & Warmer

Amazon

During our tests, the Cuckoo Micom rice cooker emerged as the best pick for those who like many customization options. It’s compact yet powerful, churns out fluffy rice, and even has a preset for germinated brown rice (GABA). With 12 cooking modes total, the plentiful options are great for someone who’s serious about their rice.

For a smaller air fryer, the Ninja 4-quart air fryer outperformed other larger models. It easily produces crunchy fries and crispy golden wings. The preset buttons are easy to navigate, while the nonstick basket makes it a breeze to clean.
