Prime Day is back, baby! Well, actually, it’s coming back — Amazon recently announced its October Prime Day savings extravaganza will be taking place October 8 through October 9. But if you’re someone who appreciates an early bird special, I’ve got some good news: The online retailer has already released a slew of early deals, and I’m particularly excited about all of the kitchen discounts I’m seeing. After all, fall is objectively the best season for cooking and baking (says me) — we’ve hit that sweet spot of it being cool enough to use the oven, without the stress of holiday meal prep looming over us.
As a former professional baker (who still spends lots of time in the kitchen), I know how to tell a good piece of equipment from a rotten egg. And because I’ve spent years tracking price histories across the web, I can also spot the prime deals in a sea of low-grade duds. So, if you’re wondering where to begin your cookware savings journey, let me be your guide.
Something I’m always excited to see on sale? A best-in-class KitchenAid stand mixer — the coveted tilt-head model is $50 off (under $300!). I’m also into glass food storage containers these days, which is why I’m eyeing this 24-piece set that’s down to just $39. Oh, and slicing and dicing will be a lot easier with a sharp chef’s knife (one of our faves is on sale for less than $40). There’s more where those came from, with deals on top brands like Henckels, Breville and more. Keep scrolling to see what else you can scoop up — happy saving!
Best Amazon Prime Day kitchen deals 2024
Not only am I a fan of Ina Garten’s approachable, homey recipes, I also love checking out her gorgeous kitchen and cookware. Some of her go-tos are admittedly out of my price range — Le Creuset, anyone? — but I was pleasantly surprised to discover this super-affordable skillet, a longtime favorite of mine, is also a staple in her kitchen.
Lodge has been in the cast iron business since 1896, so it knows a thing or two about crafting sturdy pieces designed to withstand practically any cooking environment. This skillet is no exception; it can be used on all cooktops, is oven-safe and can even be placed over a grill or open flame. Lodge pans are so durable, people often pass them down to younger generations. I’ve only had mine for about 10 years, but it works just as well as the day I got it, if not better. Not bad for just 20 bucks!
Another thing I love about this pan? It’s made of iron and oil — no PFOAs or PTFEs, which gives me peace of mind about cooking without “forever chemicals.” No wonder it’s one of 12 pieces of cookware Garten links to on her website.

It’s time to chuck all of your mismatched food storage containers and replace them with this heavily marked-down set. It comes with 12 round and rectangular containers, which are clear so you can easily see their contents. Since they’re made of borosilicate glass, the containers are dishwasher-, oven- and microwave-safe (just not the lids), and their airtight silicone seals help prevent leaks.

Fall is prime baking season, and at 4.5 quarts, this No. 1 bestseller can hold enough dough to make up to eight dozen cookies at a time (though it won’t take up much room in your kitchen). This is the brand I use in my own home kitchen, and it comes with a beater, dough hook and whisk attachments for making practically any baked good under the sun.
It’ll give your arms a break by doing all of the mixing, and you can let it run while you prep other ingredients. While this isn’t the lowest price we’ve ever seen, we’ll happily take a $50 discount.
This versatile skillet ain’t no flash in the pan — it’s been a staple in one Yahoo Life editor’s kitchen for years. Among its many perks are its lightweight, 2-pound design, as well as the removable silicone grip on its handle, which will protect your hands while you cook.
It’s also dishwasher-safe, but our editor says, “Cleanup is a breeze and only requires a few swipes with a soapy sponge, even around the rivets that secure the handle.” It’s currently within $2 of the lowest price we’ve seen all year.

An 11-piece nonstick cookware set for 54 bucks? There’s gotta be a catch, right? Nope! This bestseller comes with two frying pans, two saucepans, a sauté pan, two silicone lids, two fridge storage lids and — wait for it — two removable handles to save space when storing.
This is close to as low as we’ve ever seen this clever collection. Check out our roundup of the best cookware sets for additional options.

Henckels has been crafting knives for over a century, so the brand knows a thing or two about what makes a quality set. This bestseller comes with just about every type of blade a home cook could need: a 3-inch paring knife, a 5-inch serrated utility knife, a 7-inch santoku knife, an 8-inch chef’s knife and an 8-inch bread knife. Also included: six 4.5-inch steak knives, a professional honing steel, kitchen shears and a hardwood knife block. Whew!
This bestselling collection is majorly marked down from its list price of $345, though we’ve never actually seen it shoot that high. Still, this is a stellar price for a comprehensive set with such high ratings.

Oven mitts, pot holders and kitchen towels need to be replaced every so often, and if yours are ready to be tossed, this set is an excellent deal. Because it’s KitchenAid, you know you’re getting a quality product. The pot holder is thick and protective, the towels are wildly absorbent — but the star of the set is the included oven mitt. It has nonstick silicone grips for more confident handling of hot pots and pans.
At 60% off, this is just about as low as it’s been all year, so you might want to stock up on a few sets.
One Yahoo editor awarded this blade the title of best budget chef’s knife after testing a slew of them. She says, “When I started culinary school, I was issued a curated set of knives and tools we would need to work with through our 600 hours of training in order to graduate. This Mercer Culinary chef’s knife was the one we received that day and what we would use for 90% of our daily tasks. That should give you an idea of what this knife is capable of — and of its durability.
The Genesis may not be a flashy knife, but it is a real workhorse in the kitchen. This Western-style knife is forged from a single piece of high-carbon German steel and features a handle made from Santoprene (a rubbery material) that ensures a firm grip even in damp hands.”
It only dropped lower in price once this year, FYI…
At $50 off, this powerful blender is down to its lowest price since March. Oh, and it’s not just for smoothies — it’s also a food processor and can blitz up both large and single-serve portions.
With its 64-ounce capacity, you can mix up margaritas for friends and family, or slice and shred vegetables for a big ol’ salad. We’ll be awaiting our party invitation!
Smelly fridge? Yeah, not so appetizing. But this unassuming odor minimizer works for up to 10 years (yes, you read that right) to keep things fresh. All you do is place it inside and, well, that’s actually it.
Sorry, baking soda — you’ve been replaced. This little doodad can also go in closets, drawers, your car … anywhere that could use some stench removal. This is within a few bucks of its lowest price of the year.
If you’ve always wanted a smart toaster but didn’t want to pay hundreds of dollars, now’s your chance! This popular model has a handy touchscreen with a visual display of six bread types and six shade settings to choose from.
At less than 8 inches wide, it won’t take up much counter space, and its stainless steel design will look stylish in any kitchen. Oh, and it’s nearly 60% off…
Spare yourself from lukewarm pumpkin spice lattes, thanks to this No. 1 bestselling pair of double-wall insulated mugs. They’ll keep the contents inside nice and hot, while the exterior remains cool enough for you to handle without burning your hands. (In the summer, they’ll keep your iced drinks cold too.)
At nearly 45% off, grab a set for you and one as a gift — it’s never too early to get some holiday shopping done!
If your ratty old dish towels have seen better days, this 100% cotton set is an excellent swap. The waffle weave pattern not only looks nice, but it also offers a bit of texture for more effective scrubbing.
Our price trackers tell us this is the lowest they’ve ever been, so wipe — er, swipe — ’em while they’re on sale.
What sets this beverage machine apart from a manual model like the SodaStream is the fact that it’s electrically powered — no work needed on your part aside from choosing your preferred settings. On that note, this machine lets you customize the amount of bubbles in your drink (if you want any at all) as well as the flavor.
It’s down to one of its lowest prices of the year, meaning the time to buy is now. And while it still might seem like a splurge, just think of how much money it’ll save you on canned or bottled soda and seltzer in the long run.
These wildly popular containers are clearly doing something right if tens of thousands of shoppers have given them a perfect five-star rating. In addition to helping cut down on food waste, these bins allow you to group your food products and beverages by category for a more cohesive, easy-to-navigate fridge.
Juice boxes, veggies, fruits, sauces, dressings — each can have their own designated space. Plus, if something happens to spill, it’ll be contained in the bin, which is much easier to clean than an entire sticky fridge shelf. This is close to the lowest price we’ve seen, so grab a few sets for your pantry and under your sinks too.
Soggy strawberries aren’t just a waste of food, they’re also a waste of hard-earned money. If you’re tired of rotten produce, these handy containers are here to save the day.
Their lids have small vents, which help regulate airflow to ensure the correct amount of oxygen and carbon dioxide goes in and out. The built-in airflow filters last forever — literally, the brand says they are made to “last a lifetime.” Even better? At over 40% off, this is about as low as this set ever goes on sale for.
There are toasters, and then there are toasters. This beauty (by one of Martha Stewart’s favorite brands) falls into the latter category.
Not only is it impossibly sleek, it also has six different bread settings to choose from, whether you’re browning bread, bagels, waffles or any other delicious carb you’re craving. This is the best price we’ve seen it marked down to.
