Amazon’s secret kitchen outlet is cookin’ with sneaky deals of up to 50% off

Must read

If we were to compare shopping to food, outlet shopping would be caviar. Not when it comes to price, but in terms of how much joy it sparks. You’re scoring big markdowns thanks to what feels like secret deals; after all, few of us are lucky enough to live near an outlet mall. But don’t let that dissuade you! By heading over to Amazon, you’ll find a sneaky online outlet right at your fingertips — and we’re currently seeing a trove of kitchen deals that’ll save you up to 50%.

For starters, how about a sleek, insulated lunch bag marked down to just $8 (from $16)? We also spotted finds from top brands, like a Cuisinart salad spinner ($22, down from $35), a Mr. Coffee espresso machine (originally $75, now $49) and an Oxo vegetable spiralizer ($15, was $30). Yes, chef!

There’s more where those came from, so keep scrolling to see what else you can score for your kitchen for a steal. Bon appétit!

Dry those greens in no time with this highly rated kitchen essential. It’s got a large 5-quart capacity (that’s a lotta lettuce) and can be used with practically any type of produce. The clear bowl also functions as a serving vessel and has a nonslip bottom to keep it from flying off the counter while it’s in use. Grab it while it’s nearly 40% off — it comes with a lifetime warranty!

“Why have I never had one of these before?!” mused a shopper. “It works so well. I used to use way too many paper towels. This gets herbs and lettuce so dry! Holds up in [the] dishwasher.”

Step aside, Starbucks — with this little appliance, you’ll be able to whip up cozy espresso drinks topped with frothy foam from the comfort of your kitchen (and for way less money). Included are a measuring scoop, stainless steel milk pitcher and water pitcher — not bad for 35% off.

“This espresso machine is perfect for my husband and I,” shared a fan. “Easy to use, easy to clean and makes the perfect espresso! I was spending $7 a day at the coffee shop and so was my husband. We bought this little thing and made our own coffee bar. It took a few tries to get our coffees right, but that’s no fault of this machine! If it quits, we will replace it with this machine just because of the price and quality of the espresso.”

All-Clad is the brand many professional chefs reach for when it comes to cookware, so it only makes sense that their accessories — like this heavy-duty duo — would be top-quality as well. These versatile pads are heat-resistant up to 500°F and have nonslip silicone grips to give you more confidence when lifting hot casseroles out of the oven. Plus, you can rest pots on them while protecting your counter. This is as low as we’ve seen this set on sale for since 2021. 

“I literally ordered these at the party where the hostess had them!” exclaimed an enthusiast. “They are the perfect combo [of] flexible and heat-resistant. My daughter has silicone gloves, but I couldn’t even lift anything with them, they were so rigid. These are the best, and I’ve sent them as gifts to all my cooking friends.”

We all love pasta, but on those nights when you want something a little lighter and more refreshing for dinner, this fun tool makes preparing veggie noodles a breeze. It comes with spaghetti-, fettuccini- and ribbon-cut blades so you can mix things up with a variety of shapes, and everything stacks atop one another for compact storage. At half off, this is a fab price. 

“I was able to make zoodles for lunch in under seven minutes,” said a buyer. “It’s super easy to use and cleanup is even easier. I sauté the zoodles for a few minutes before I add them to [the] sauce. This helps cut the water that is in the zucchini. I add my favorite sauce and even added mixed veggies to my sauce. So filling. Great substitute for pasta.”

If you’re one of those “iced coffee all year” caffeinators, meet your new favorite gadget. This canister might not look like much, but it can chill freshly brewed hot coffee in about a minute. How? Just keep it in your freezer so it stays nice and cold, then take it out when you’re ready to cool down your coffee. Pour the hot java inside, swirl it around for 60 seconds and pour it over ice. It couldn’t be easier, and this is the best price we’ve seen in months. 

“This was super easy to use,” raved a reviewer. “It’s not just for coffee. I used it to chill all of my drinks: coffee, wine, soda, protein shakes, everything I could drink cold. It has definitely been great for traveling as well. Keeps my drinks super cold for hours.”

You know that pool of water that always seems to be hanging out around the top of your sink? Yeah, we think it’s really annoying too. That’s why having an H2O catcher like the ones in this pack is really helpful. They go around the base of your faucet (be sure to measure yours first) and trap any water than would otherwise end up on your counter. Their two drainage spouts help guide the water back into the sink, leaving you with a dry surface for storing soap dispensers, sponges and more. Pretty genius, huh? This is the lowest we’ve ever seen this set dip down to, just sayin’…

“Just what I was looking for to keep water from puddling around soap dispensers,” wrote a user. “This mat fits snuggly around the base of the kitchen faucet and provides a great self-draining/dry surface for hand and dish soaps.”

Calling all Stanley stans: You no longer have to worry about a teetering tumbler on a table (say that 10 times fast), thanks to these little base covers. Made of silicone, they provide extra grip while also protecting the bottom of your cup from scratches and dents. Plus, placing your stainless steel cup on a table will be a whole lot quieter. At under two bucks a pop, this is a new all-time low. 

“Honestly, Stanley cups should just come with these little sleeves,” said a shopper. “If you happen to keep a metal/insulated cup around and get tired of hearing the loud ‘clank’ every time it’s set down, you need this little sleeve. They pop right on and off (I take mine off before cleaning my cup and it’s super easy to rinse and let air dry) and provide a nice sound-proofing effect as well as a little extra traction to keep the cup from sliding on smooth surfaces. Since picking up a giant insulated cup can sometimes feel like hauling a trash can onto a tabletop, it’s nice to have a little softer edge to protect tables.”

The term “sous vide” only sounds fancy; in reality, it just means cooking something inside a sealed container, in a controlled water bath. Preparing food this way helps ensure everything is cooked evenly, inside and out, while preserving moisture and tenderness. This nifty tool makes it easy, as it quickly brings water up to the proper temperature and allows you to monitor the process via app. Even at over 40% off, it’s an investment, but if you’ve ever experienced the frustration of throwing away a pricey overcooked steak, it’ll be well worth it.

“I use this with a 26-quart container, and will easily cook 10 pounds’ worth of steaks at one time,” shared a fan. “Even with that much going on, it keeps a very even temperature and good water flow during the cook. Comes up to temperature very quickly, and very easy to use. Highly recommend.”

What sets this can opener apart from the rest? Most notably, it features ergonomically designed handles with soft grips to prevent it from slipping out of your hand while you turn the knob. On top of that, it’s got a bottle opener built right in, and at 50% off, it’s close to as low as we’ve ever seen it. 

“Easy to grip, cuts well,” said a convert. “The handles are oval-shaped and have a greater surface area than many others I have used, so this is more comfortable to use. It seems to be much easier to precisely control the cut and get a good removal the first attempt. I like it.”

There’s a reason all of your favorite cooking show hosts use small bowls like these while they’re preparing recipes — they make the cooking process so much more enjoyable. By portioning out and chopping all of your ingredients ahead of time (known as “mise en place,” or, “everything in its place”), you’ll be able to pop everything in as you go, rather than realizing you still have a carrot to slice up once your broth is already bubbling away. What makes this set special is that the bowls also come with lids for storing leftovers — oh, and the price, which is as low as it’s been in months. 

“These bowls are great for pre-measuring out ingredients,” shared a buyer. “Makes cooking and baking easier. In addition, because of the lids, they are the perfect size to save smaller leftovers that would have gotten thrown away before. With the price of groceries today, reducing food waste is important!”

Lunchboxes aren’t exactly known for being stylish, but this sleek bag is an exception. Made of waterproof neoprene, it’s insulated to help keep food hot or cold for hours and folds flat when empty, making it perfect for stashing in your suitcase or backpack on the go. We haven’t seen it for less since 2020, so snag it while you can save 50%.

“I’m one who doesn’t like carrying lunch bags,” explained a user. “I finally decided to purchase this one and I’m glad I did. I got the black one and it actually looks like a small purse. It’s lightweight, durable and surprisingly roomy inside. It’s also nice that it folds down flat when empty.”

Let the you-versus-ice-tray battles be a thing of the past, thanks to this smart set. The trays are made of bendy silicone, which makes popping out the cubes far easier than the flimsy plastic ones. Each tray also comes with a lid, and the set includes a bin for collecting the ice. At 50% off, this is the lowest we’ve seen this set marked down to. 

“I really like that it comes with lids,” wrote a fan. “No spilling water on your way to the freezer. Run hot tap water over the top of the lids to make the lids come off easier. Turn upside down in your ice tray and push on the bottoms of the cubes. They pop right out.”
