Prime Day! It's over. During the past two days, Amazon slashed prices on millions of items, including all things kitchen. Our editors sorted through dozens of pages of sales...and we're still at it. Below, we've rounded up the best Prime Day deals you can still get.

Now, we take a lot of pride in how we review kitchen products. That is, we spend day after day testing gear side-by-side, in the exact same conditions to bring you our recommendations. We’ve spent a month testing gas grills. We’ve tested (nearly) all of the Vitamix blenders. And we’ve brewed hundreds of shots to land on the best espresso machines. This is all to say: We really know our kitchen gear…and we’re great at spotting deals on the best tools and gadgets.

The Absolute Best Blender: Vitamix 5200 Professional-Grade Blender
Amazon
$550 $402 at Amazon
We’ve recommended this Vitamix blender since Kenji first reviewed it in 2014. Its tapered jar sucks ingredients into its blades, creating a vortex that produces super-smooth sauces, purees, and smoothies. Its control panel has just a couple of switches and a dial. It’s everything you need and nothing you don’t—and it’s 27% off. Vitamix blenders don’t go on super-sale often, so we don’t recommend skipping out on this deal if you’re even remotely interested.

The Best Instant-Read Thermometer: ThermoWorks Thermapen ONE
King Arthur Baking
$109 $77 at Thermoworks.com
This is simply the best instant-read thermometer there is. It has a lightning-fast response time and an automatic backlight and a blisteringly fast response time (we're talking one to two seconds). The deal's not on Amazon, but it's still worth mentioning.

A Flat-Top Grill Worthy of Your Best Smashed Burgers: Weber 36-Inch Gas Griddle
Weber
$679 $449 at Amazon
Flat-top grills are key for lacy-edged smashed burgers, pounds of pancakes, and enough grilled cheese sandwiches for a crowd. The most important aspect of a good flat-top grill is a surface with even heating throughout: The Weber nailed it in our tests. We liked the click-to-ignite burners and disposable drip tray that made cooking and cleanup blissfully easy. It's currently on sale for an impressive 34% off.

A Great Larger Air Fryer: GoWISE USA 7-Quart Electric Air Fryer
Amazon

A Wicked Sharp Nakiri Knife: Shun Premier Blonde Nakiri Knife
Amazon
$185 $148 at Amazon
While this isn’t one of our winning nakiri knives, we do recommend it (knives are very personal and it’s hard to definitively call one blade the best for every cook). The Shun is gorgeous, with a dimpled, sharp blade and pakkawood handle. Right now, it’s 20% off.

A Great Set of Stainless Steel Skillets: All-Clad D3 Stainless Steel Fry Pan Set
Amazon
$230 $180 at Amazon
It's hard to beat All-Clad's stainless steel. It performs well and lasts just about forever. We also like its handles: The indent that runs down their lengths prevents them from rolling in your palms. For Prime Day, this 10- and 12-inch pan duo is on sale.

The Best Cordless Electric Can Opener: Kitchen Mama Electric Can Opener

The Best Safety Mandoline: Dash Safe Slice Mandoline
Amazon
$40 $30 at Amazon
If using a mandoline gives you visions of ER trips past, we recommend this one from Dash. It works kind of like a guillotine and keeps your hands away entirely from the blade. In our tests, we found it sliced pretty well, too.

Amazon
$55 $43 at Amazon

A Kamado That Can Grill and Smoke: Char-Griller Akorn Kamado Grill
Amazon
$330 $263 at Amazon
Kamados are prized for their deftness at grilling and smoking. While they're typically made from ceramic, the aluminum build of this model from Char-Griller makes it lightweight. It also cools down quicker after use. The fuel-to-cooking grate ratio makes it ideal for low-and-slow grilling sessions.

A Slow Cooker from a Trusted Brand: KitchenAid 6-Quart Slow Cooker
Amazon
$130 $100 at Amazon
You can't beat a traditional slow cooker's convenience (and value). They don't have all the features of a multi-cooker, but that's the point. The best slow cookers are well-insulated, with heavy inner pots that maintain a consistent temperature. KitchenAid's ceramic cook pot is particularly well-made, and we liked the easy-to-program control panel.

A Great Smoker without All the Fuss: Pit Boss Vertical Gas Smoker
Amazon

If you can grill with gas, why not smoke with it? Gas smokers are easy to set up and use, and add a subtle, "kissed by smoke" flavor that works particularly well with vegetables and fish. This nice-looking smoker from Pit Boss earned a top spot in our review, and it's currently on sale for over 30% off.
