Amazon Just Announced Its Prime Big Deal Days Dates—and They’re Coming up Fast
If you’re mourning the passing of this year’s Prime Day (still regretting that Vitamix blender you didn’t get, huh?) we’ve got good news. Amazon just announced the dates of its Prime Big Deal Days sale.
What are Prime Deal Days, you ask? Well, you can think of them as a second Prime Day: A chance to get seriously discounted deals on some great stuff—particularly, as is relevant to us, kitchen gear. It’s coming up soon, too, so mark your calendars for October 10 and 11.
We think October’s a great time for a sale: You can buy things for yourself and get some early holiday shopping done. To that end, if you’re already ready to shop (same), we rounded up some of our favorite sales happening right now. You can find them, and answers to your burning Prime Big Deal Days questions, below.
The Best Steak Knives: Messermeister Avanta Fine Edge Steak Knife Set
Our favorite steak knives are beautifully constructed, incredibly sharp, and so well worth the price we’re surprised they don’t charge more for them. Right now, they’re $20 off (that’s a little over $12/a knife—not bad in the slightest).
The Best Budget-Friendly Stainless-Steel Skillet: Tramontina Fry Pan
We tested 29 stainless-steel skillets and named just two favorite pans, which means our top picks are indeed incredibly good. One of them is this model from Tramontina, which features a strong performance, a comfortable handle, and an incredibly reasonable price point (even better now that it’s 36% off)
The Best Air Fryer Toaster Oven: Calphalon Performance Air Fry Convection Oven
Our favorite air fryer toaster oven (which even beat out the likes of Breville for a top spot), is handsome and high-performing. It produces crispy, crunchy food, and it air fry, toasts, bakes, roasts, broils, and then some. Right now, it’s nearly 20% off.
The Best Kitchen Towels: Zeppoli Classic Kitchen Towels
You can’t beat the price of our favorite kitchen towels, which are about $1 a towel at their current price (be sure to clip the 30% off coupon). They’re sturdy, thick enough to use as pot holders and have a stellar absorbency rate (141%!).
The Best Budget Waffle Maker: Krups 4-Slice Belgian Waffle Maker
Clip the coupon for $15 off our favorite budget-friendly Belgian waffle maker. We liked its performance and usability features in our tests. It produced waffles with deep divots and had locked handles for upright storage and removable, dishwasher-safe plates.
One of Our Favorite Woks: Mammafong Pre-Seasoned Blue Carbon Steel Flat-Bottom Pow Wok
One of our favorite woks is:
- Beautiful
- Heat responsive
- Lightweight
- Pre-seasoned
- Currently 15% off
Incredibly Useful Sheet Pans: Nordic Ware 1/8 Sheet Pan
We think it’s worth buying a literal stack of eighth sheet pans, and Nordic Ware makes the very best. For mise en place, seasoning meat, or just baking a single chocolate chip cookie, it’s an incredibly useful size to have on hand. It also easily fits in a toaster oven.
The Best Meat Grinder: KitchenAid Metal Food Grinder Attachment
Our favorite meat grinder fits onto the hub of a stand mixer and lets the machine do all of the hard-cranking work for you. There’s a whole lot else to like about it, including the fact its all-metal parts can be placed in the freezer for chilling and optimal meat grinding. (Note: A couple of our other favorite stand mixer attachments, including the pasta roller and cutter and shaved ice maker, are also on sale.)
The Best Stand Mixer for Casual Bakers: KitchenAid Artisan Series 5-Quart Tilt-Head Stand Mixer
Our favorite stand mixer will suit most bakers just fine—as long as you’re not kneading gobs of bagel dough regularly. It performed well in our tests and a number of its pretty hues are 16% off right now.
The Best Plastic Food Storage Containers: Rubbermaid Brilliance BPA Free Food Storage Containers
Our favorite plastic food storage containers are leak-proof, with latches that securely snap the lid closed and a rubber steal all the way around. Right now, a set of five of the medium size (3.2-cup) containers are on sale.
The Best Citrus Juicer: Chef’n FreshForce Citrus Juicer
If you want to squeeze the daylights out of citrus, this is the press for you. It has a dual-hinged press and star-shaped perforations that direct juice downwards—keeping it off of the counter and (worse!) preventing it from spraying upwards into your eyes.
