Swedish Wholesale Dishcloths

Kitchen messes are inevitable, and single-use paper towels can be expensive (not to mention wasteful!). That’s why we love Swedish dishcloths. They’re highly absorbent and easy to clean, and you can use them again and again. We tested eight dishcloths, and Swedish Wholesale came out on top thanks to their ability to sop up spills efficiently and air dry quickly. Each set comes with 10 towels, and now that they’re on sale, each cloth costs only $1.40.

Tramontina 10-Inch Professional Aluminum Nonstick Restaurant Fry Pan

Nonstick frying pans come in handy almost daily for frying, sauteing and more, but since their coatings have relatively short lifespans, we recommend opting for inexpensive pans like this one from Tramontina. It won our review thanks to its lightweight design, affordable price and ergonomic handle. It comes with a removable silicone grip to protect your hands when using it on the stovetop. It’s also oven safe up to 400°F, and right now, it’s 38% off. 

Instant Pot Pro 8-Quart 10-in-1 Pressure Cooker

If you’re looking to invest in a versatile appliance ahead of spring, this 10-in-1 pressure cookware from Instant Pot is the way to go. You can steam, saute, sous vide, make rice, and more in this 6-quart pot. It’s easy to use, with a user-friendly control panel and steam release button. We also like that the internal bowl comes with easy-to-grip handles, making it easy to remove and clean. Snag yours now that it’s 29% off.

Yosukata Carbon Steel Wok Pan

When our editors tested 11 popular carbon steel woks, this one from Yosukata came out on top. This heat-treated, pre-seasoned pan features wide, tall sides for mess-free stir-fry and more. It’s durable, promising to perform for years, and now that it’s 25% off, it’s a no-brainer buy. The pan is 13.5 inches in diameter, giving you plenty of cooking space, and it heats up both quickly and evenly.

Cuisinart Pure Indulgence Ice Cream Maker

Our favorite large-capacity ice cream maker is now 21% off at Amazon. The stainless steel appliance aced our tests, producing smooth, airy ice cream and sorbet every time. A larger version of our test winner, the Pure Indulgence from Cuisinart has a 2-quart capacity and features an intuitive knob that makes it easy to control. Best of all, it churns delicious batches of ice cream in just 30 minutes.

Vitamix 5200 Professional-Grade Blender

Blenders are a multifunctional kitchen appliance, essential for everything from sauces to smoothies to purees. Our favorite high-end pick from Vitamix creates smooth, creamy emulsions and features a motor powerful enough to crush ice and blend frozen fruit with ease. The Vitamix 5200 features a simple design and is versatile enough to take on a multitude of tasks. It’s 28% off right now, so don’t wait to grab yours.

Nesco VS-12 Deluxe Vacuum Sealer

When we put 20 vacuum sealers to the test, Nesco VS-12 came out as our co-winner (tying with the Anova Precision Vacuum Sealer Pro). It won us over thanks to its user-friendly controls and powerful suction. The machine creates a strong double vacuum seal that keeps food fresh—never freezer burnt—and right now, it’s 28% off.

Messermeister Avanta Steak Knife Set

Every host needs a solid set of steak knives, and luckily, we tested 22 popular sets to find just six that won our reviews. 10.5 pounds of meat later, the Messermeister Avanta steak knife set came out as one of our top budget-friendly picks. We thought they performed as well as knives three times their price, featuring razor-sharp blades that cut through steak with ease. This set comes with eight stainless steel knives—enough to accommodate every guest at your next big dinner party. 

Breville Barista Express Impress Espresso Machine

If you’re looking to take your morning cup up a notch, this model from Breville is the perfect pick. Thanks to its intuitive design, automatic portioning system and built-in tamper, the Barista Express Impress is designed for novices. It also comes with a built-in grinder, and even its steam wand is beginner-friendly.
