Amazon Prime Day Serious Eats Kitchen — Serious Eats / Jaclyn Mastropasqua

It's official: Prime Day is over. For the uninitiated, during these two days (July 11 and 12) Amazon slashed prices on thousands of items, including all things kitchen-related. But just because Prime Day's passed doesn't mean the deals dried up.

To find the best still-available sales, we scoured Amazon's deals: featuring exclusively products we've tested and recommended or extensively used at home.

The Best Vacuum Sealer: Anova Precision Vacuum Sealer Pro

For sous vide or food storage enthusiasts, a vacuum sealer is a very worthwhile investment. One of our absolute favorites, from Anova, sports strong, double-seal technology, built-in bag and cord storage, and no refractory period (that's the time between sealings).

Our top Instant Pot pick (and we tested 11 of the most popular models) is 30% off right now. It pressure cooks incredibly well and has helpful usability features, like a pressure release switch (rather than a valve you have to poke at with, say, a wooden spoon or spatula) and handles on its cooking pot that keep it from spinning around in the base and make it easy to lift out.

The Absolute Best Air Fryer: Instant Vortex Plus 6-Quart Air Fryer
Amazon
View on Amazon
When we say this is the best air fryer, we really mean it: it crisped food better than the competition and was the easiest to use, thanks to its touchscreen and control dial. It also allows you to set the temperature in 5-degree increments, whereas other models only offer temperatures in 20- or 25-degree increments. That's a lot more control!

The Best Splurge-Worthy Sous Vide Machine: Anova Culinary Precision Cooker Pro
Amazon
Buy on Amazon
This was the most powerful sous vide machine we tested. It brought water up to temperature faster than our top picks and was incredibly accurate, too. It's also app compatible and has an on-board display, for those that worry about WiFi cutting out and ruining dinner. Of course, it's expensive—but, then again, it's currently discounted.

A Staff-Recommended Toaster Oven: Breville BOV845BSS Smart Oven

Multiple Serious Eats staffers own this toaster oven and use it daily. It's very similar to our winning Breville toaster oven, the Smart Oven, but features a slow cook mode and an internal light. It's a solid appliance, at a nicely discounted price. For Prime Day, it's 23% off.

The Best Air Fryer with a Higher Temp Range: Cosori Pro LE 5-Quart Air Fryer

The Best Stand Mixer for Casual Bakers: KitchenAid Artisan Series 5-Quart Tilt-Head Stand Mixer
Amazon
Buy on Amazon
We named the Artisan our favorite stand mixer for those that bake casually. We found it to be powerful enough for most baking tasks (it did struggle a little more with stiffer doughs, but still got the job done!). While the price varies on Amazon depending on color, Williams Sonoma has the discount on all of its colorways.

If you're into smoking meat, then the aptly named Smoke thermometer probe from Thermoworks should be your loyal pit sidekick. It allows you to track both ambient temperatures and internal meat temps and, since it features a wireless radio receiver, you don't have to sit next to the smoker all day and become smoked yourself (unless that's your thing, of course).

One of the Best Air Fryer Toaster Ovens: Breville The Smart Oven Air
Amazon
Buy on Amazon
When we tested eight air fryer toaster ovens, this one from Breville was a standout. Breville has long been our toaster oven recommendation, so we weren't surprised the Smart Oven Air toasted excellently. However, it also crisped food to perfection and was easy to use (thanks to its multiple control dials and digital screen).

A Smoking Gun to Amp Up Your Cocktail Game: Breville Polyscience Smoking Gun Pro

While the term "smoking gun" might make you think of Spaghetti Westerns, in this case, we're talking cocktails. The Breville Polyscience Smoking Gun Pro lets you add a hint of smoky goodness to Old Fashioneds, Margaritas, or even vodka sodas if that's your thing. And right now it's the lowest price we've seen, at $84.

Le Creuset's enameled products (be it a skillet or a Dutch oven) have long been loved by us at Serious Eats. Not only do they look dashingly French, but they also sport a tough-as-nails enamel coating that can last a lifetime (with proper care). This 9-inch enameled skillet is the smaller sibling of one of our favorite enameled cast iron pans (minus the helper handle), and it's currently about $20 off.

Our favorite long-slot toaster is on sale right now. We found it toasts evenly and liked its clear, glass window, which allows you to watch your bread as it browns. Its long slots are ideal if you frequently toast oblong slices or really anything that's not a sandwich loaf.
