One of the Best Pellet Grills: 

Traeger Pro Series 780 Grill

Traeger Pro Series 780 Grill

Williams Sonoma

Pellet grills offer the best of both worlds: You can grill or smoke your proteins based on what you’re craving. During our tests of 21 pellet grills, we found that the Traeger Pro 780 grill offered great smoke and flavor for a model under $1,000. It also has a digital control panel and now, it’s on sale for an even more attractive price at $200 off.

One of the Best Dutch Ovens: 

Le Creuset 6 3/4-Quart Enameled Cast Iron Wide Dutch Oven

Le Creuset Signature Enameled Cast Iron Round Wide Dutch Oven

Williams Sonoma

It’s no secret that we love Le Creuset Dutch ovens. Over the years, they’ve held up in our home kitchens and at the test kitchen, consistently delivering even heating and browning, plus incredible heat retention. Right now, the wider model is 35% off, and it’s perfect for large roasts, whole chickens, and more.

The Best Nugget Countertop Ice Maker:

GE Profile Opal 2.0 Nugget Ice Maker

GE Profile Opal 2.0 Nugget Ice Maker

Williams Sonoma

Iced drinks season is upon us, and we are once again reminded that there are only so many cubes an ice tray can make. For folks who like to pile ice into their drinks all day long, the GE Profile 2.0 countertop nugget ice maker delivers. It can make just over a pound of pellet ice in an hour, and thankfully, the storage bin can hold up to three pounds of ice. Thanks to a detachable reservoir, you don’t have to worry about lifting the whole machine, which is 38 pounds and comes in at 14.8 inches by 11.3 inches by 14.1 inches. While normally it’s a bit of an investment for on-demand ice, the machine is still a rare $100 off.

The Best Kitchen Shears:

Shun Classic Kitchen Shears

Shun Classic Kitchen Shears

Williams Sonoma

During our tests of 12 shears, the best ones turned out to be the Shun Classic kitchen shears. This pair is super sharp, comfortable to hold, and has long blades (3.75 inches). It’s especially versatile thanks to the five additional features including a nutcracker, a jar opener, a bone notch, a bottle opener, and two screwdriver tips. You can also take it apart to easily clean the blades independently — a plus for busy home cooks. Grab the 20% off deal at Williams Sonoma.

A Great Nakiri Knife:

Global Classic 7-Inch Vegetable Knife

Global Classic Hollow-Ground Vegetable Knife, 7"

Williams Sonoma

The Nakiri knife excels at slicing and dicing through denser vegetables like sweet potatoes or more delicate produce like eggplant. One of our favorites is the Global 7-inch vegetable knife, which has a squared off, Nakiri-style blade that’s super sharp and durable. Thankfully, the price is still slashed 23% on this model.

The Best French Press: 

Fellow Clara French Press

Fellow Clara French Press

Williams Sonoma

For French press coffee lovers out there, our favorite Fellow Clara French press is 20% off at Williams Sonoma. It has a sleek design, plus double-walled insulation that provides excellent heat retention to keep coffee hottest for longer. During our test, we found that the Clara produced smooth, nougat-like coffee and was an absolute pleasure to use. It has a 24-ounce capacity so you can keep pouring from it throughout the day.

The Best Gooseneck Kettle: 

Fellow Stagg EKG Electric Pour-Over Kettle

Fellow Stagg EKG Electric Pour-Over Kettle

Williams Sonoma

As burgeoning coffee enthusiasts become more serious about their routines, a gooseneck kettle is essential. Especially for pour-overs, being able to pour water slowly and smoothly more evenly saturates coffee grounds, ensuring a full-bodied flavor in the brew. We love the Fellow Stagg EKG electric gooseneck kettle thanks to its precise temperature control settings that remained accurate throughout our tests. In fact, you can control temperature down to the degree, from 135°F to 212°F. Fellow products rarely go on sale, so even 15% off makes it worth grabbing.

The Best Coffee Grinder for Pour-Overs:

Fellow Ode Gen 2 Coffee Grinder

Fellow Ode Gen 2 Brew Grinder

Williams Sonoma

The Fellow Ode Gen 2 grinder produced some of the most consistent grindings in our testing. It’s user friendly, has no static cling, and is impeccably stylish. Thanks to its vertically-oriented flat grinding burrs, which mimic high-end commercial grinders, the Ode Gen 2 yields impressive flavor clarity in each and every brew. It’s a whopping 30% off, a surefire sign that it’s time to upgrade your morning coffee once and for all.

A Great Multi-Fuel Pizza Oven:

Ooni Karu 16 Pizza Oven

Ooni Karu 16 Pizza Oven

Williams Sonoma

Outdoor pizza is one of the best parts of warmer weather, and the Ooni Karu 16 is a powerful pizza oven that’s full of helpful features, like an internal temperature gauge, a glass door for faster heating, and its ability to use multiple fueling sources. You can use gas, wood, or charcoal with this model, and it takes only 25 minutes to reach 950°F, according to our tests.It even comes complete with a pizza stone diameter of 16 inches, so you can churn out family-sized pies all day long. Williams Sonoma has the Ooni Karu 16 on sale for 20% off, so grab one just in time for your dough to proof.

The Best Enameled Cast Iron Grill Pan:

Staub Enameled Cast Iron Grill Pan

Staub Enameled Cast Iron Grill Pan

Williams Sonoma

Who says superb grilling can only be achieved outdoors? The Staub enameled cast iron grill pan grilled its competition during our tests thanks to sturdy cast iron construction and ridged design. It grilled sandwiches and chicken breast beautifully, and even left impressively charred grill marks on burger patties thanks to its .2-inch grates (there are 13 of them!) that are deeper than most. While we feel it’s worth the investment at its normal price, it’s $100 off right now.

The Best Air Fryer:

Instant Pot 6-Quart Vortex Plus Air Fryer

Instant Pot 6-Qt. Stainless-Steel Vortex Plus Air Fryer

Williams Sonoma

If there’s one thing we love here, it’s precision and control. The Instant Pot Vortex is an air fryer that offers those very features with its ability to set the temperature in 5-degree increments. It’s been our top air fryer pick since 2021, thanks to its large capacity (though you can choose between a 6-quart model or an 8-quart model) and a user-friendly control panel. Plus, it makes truly crispy fries and tender chicken wings that still have a crunch to them — what more could you ask for in an air fryer? Luckily, it’s still 23% off at Williams Sonoma.
