The Best Deals at Williams Sonoma Right Now (Including on Le Creuset and Staub)

Right now, Prime Day is in full swing. For those not in the know: today and tomorrow (July 11 and 12), Amazon is offering a mind-boggling amount of discounts across their site, including on all things kitchen.

But Amazon’s not the only one in the deal game: Williams Sonoma has some fantastic sales, too. In fact, some of our favorite tested-and-true items (including products from Le Creuset, Staub, Anova, and KitchenAid) are discounted.

A Great KitchenAid Mixer for Most Bakers: KitchenAid 5-Quart Artisan Stand Mixer

Although it’s not our favorite KitchenAid Mixer, the Artisan 5-Quart is still an excellent option for most bakers (especially if you skew towards cookies, cakes, and other treats that don’t require prolonged kneading). There are 21 different colors available for this sale (including fun options like pistachio, bird of paradise, and feather pink), and it’s also compatible with ceramic bowls.

The Best Vacuum Sealer: Anova Precision Vacuum Sealer Pro

With a built-in bag holder and cutter and a variety of settings, the Anova Precision Vacuum Sealer Pro excels at sealing both wet and dry food. In our testing, its powerful suction was also gentle enough for delicate items, and with no refractory period you can seal up to 100 bags back-to-back without having to pause.

The Best Air Fryer: Instant Pot 6-Quart Vortex Plus Airfryer

With a large capacity and easy to control digital control panel, this air fryer was the easiest to use out of all the models we tested. It was also the fastest, and fried everything to an even golden brown. Plus, its dial allows you to set the temperature in 5-degree increments, a unique feature most air fryers don’t have.

The Best Enameled Cast Iron Dutch Oven: Le Creuset Enameled Cast Iron 5.5-Quart Dutch Oven in Ganache

Our favorite enameled cast iron Dutch oven is great at searing, baking, deep-frying, roasting, and boiling. It’s lighter than many other Dutch ovens of the same size, yet excelled at heat retention. In our testing it performed every task we threw at it with aplomb, and its enamel is highly rated and designed to last for years. (Only the “ganache” color is discounted.)

A Slightly Smaller Instant Pot: Instant Pot Pro 6-Quart Multi-Cooker

If you’re looking for an excellent multi-cooker, the smaller version of our top pick is currently on sale. It browns and sautés well, and pressurized the quickest in our tests. It also has an easy to navigate interface with a variety of buttons and a dial. 

The Most Powerful Immersion Blender: Vitamix Immersion Blender

When we tested immersion blenders there was a clear standout when it came to power. With five different speeds, a wide blade guard (with plastic tips to avoid scratching your pans), and comfortable handle, this immersion blender from Vitamix muscled through even the toughest blending tasks with ease.

A Slightly Bigger Enameled Cast Iron Dutch Oven: Staub 7-Quart Enameled Cast Iron Cocotte

Staub’s 5.5-quart cocotte is one of winning Dutch ovens, and now there’s a slightly larger 7-quart version on sale for $100 off. It scored high marks in all of our tests, searing, braising, and baking everything evenly. We also like its matte-black enamel interior, which hides any marks or stains that could develop over the years. 

The Best Immersion Circulator with an On-Board Display: Anova Culinary Sous Vide Precision Cooker

The Precision Cooker is extremely easy to use with a simple on-board display (though it does have Wi-Fi connectivity, too). In our testing, we found its temperature to be accurate within a single degree Fahrenheit, and it was also able to hold that temperature consistently for the entire cook time. 

The Best High-End Saucepan: All-Clad 3-Quart D3 Stainless Steel Saucepan

All-Clad’s 3-quart saucepan excelled in our testing, boiling water quickly, cooking fluffy rice, and evenly heating browned butter. It’s also easy to clean, durable, and comes with a lifetime warranty. It’s our priciest winner, so we always recommend snagging it when it goes on sale.

A Great Pasta Attachment for Stand Mixers: KitchenAid 3-Piece Pasta Roller and Cutter Set

These high-quality stainless steel pasta attachments roll and cut like a dream. They’re well-built and slot perfectly into any compatible KitchenAid stand mixer. The roller has an easy-to-adjust thickness dial for different pasta styles, and in our testing, both the spaghetti and fettuccine attachments cleanly cut individual ribbons of pasta without any smooshing.

A Smaller Version of Our Favorite Enameled Cast Iron Skillet: Le Creuset Enameled Cast Iron Skillet

This skillet had even heating, climbed to high temperatures easily, and fried eggs and seared steak without any sticking. In our tests we found its gently flared sides made it easier to maneuver spatulas and wooden spoons around the pan while also letting steam escape, allowing for good browning. Its only downside is the cost—but now you can snag (a smaller) one for 43% off.

Vitamix A2300 Ascent Series Smart Blender

The A2300 Ascent blender is a mid-priced option from Vitamix and has an LED display with a built-in count down timer, a pulse button, and a 10-speed control knob. In our testing, we found its wide canister to be great for liquids and larger batches of food, making this a nice option for hot soups and smoothies.

Vitamix A3500 Ascent Series Professional-Grade Smart Blender

Features and settings take front and center with the A3500. We appreciated its five different presets, and it excelled at making smoothies. It also has an LED touchscreen display, and is one of Vitamix’s sleeker-looking models with multiple colorways.

The Best Mid-Priced Nakiri Knife: Global 7-Inch Vegetable Knife

Sturdy, durable, and incredibly sharp, Global’s nakiri knife is our favorite mid-priced pick. It made quick work of shallots, tomatoes, and sweet potatoes in our testing, and its unibody construction was sturdy and durable. This version is hollow-ground to prevent food from sticking to the knife while slicing.

The Best Cordless Hand Mixer: KitchenAid 7-Speed Cordless Hand Mixer

We really loved how comfortable the handle was on this hand mixer, and its upright resting position kept beaters off of the counter when we paused mid mix. In our testing, we also found it to be nearly as powerful as its corded competitors, making it a great option for people with limited outlets.

A Wide Enameled Cast Iron Dutch Oven: Le Creuset Enameled Cast Iron Wide 6.75-Quart Dutch Oven

If you’d like a heritage enameled cast iron Dutch oven and are hunting for a deal, this slightly larger option from Le Creuset is available at a steep discount. Although we haven’t tested this exact shape, it’s a slightly shorter and wider version of our favorite Dutch oven.

Vitamix E310 Explorian Blender

If you’re looking for the power of a Vitamix blender but mostly make sauces or smoothies, the E310 Explorian is a great pick. Its lower price point makes it a great entry-level model, and in our testing, we found it was the best option for smaller tasks.

The Best Meat Grinder Attachment For Stand Mixers: KitchenAid Metal Food Grinder

If you already own a KitchenAid stand mixer, this grinder attachment is low-cost and effective (and even cheaper on sale). It produced textbook ground pork and beef in our testing, and its large tray can accommodate bigger jobs without having to continuously add food during grinding. 

The Best Braiser: Le Creuset Enameled Cast Iron 3.5-Quart Braiser in Ganache

Ideal for shallow frying, braising, and hard searing, the Le Creuset Braiser is a versatile piece of cookware. Its enamel was the most durable in our testing, showing no chips or scratches. We also really loved its wide, looped handles, which made it a cinch to pull in and out of the oven to check on things. It’s currently on sale in the “ganache” colorway.

A Glass-Lidded Braiser: Staub 3.5-Quart Enameled Cast Iron Braiser With Glass Lid

Staub’s 3.5-quart braiser has a wide cooking surface and comfortable handles. It aced every one of our tests, and this version has a glass lid so you can check in on long braises without having to take it off. Its signature matte black enameled interior was also nearly impossible to scratch, making it the most durable of the competition. 

The Best Stainless Steel Cookware Set: All Clad D3 Stainless 3 Ply Bonded Cookware Set

While we normally suggest building your own cookware set by mixing and matching pieces, All-Clad’s D3 triple-ply stainless steel cookware set covers all your bases (and saves you some major dough). It has some of our favorite cookware, including our recommended saucepan and sauté pan, and we named it a top cookware set in its own right, too.
