Yet again, Amazon Prime Day is here. The now twice-annual, multi-day sale for Prime members officially started Tuesday, with deals set to go live through Wednesday July 12.
The sale (or really, Amazon itself) is not without controversy — most recently, the Federal Trade Commission has sued Amazon for enrolling customers into Amazon Prime without their consent. But if you are a consensual Amazon Prime subscriber, there are some deals to be had in every category of product, even if sometimes those deals are slight. So if you’re in the market for a new appliance, cookware, or other kitchen staple, now is the time.
Buzzy kitchen appliances
Prime Day deals usually include discounts on some big-ticket kitchen workhorses, like Vitamix blenders, KitchenAid stand mixers, and the Eater-beloved Zojirushi rice cooker with “fuzzy logic” technology that cooks rice, oatmeal, polenta, and more.
Very practical kitchen items
These may not be that sexy — ok, except for All-Clad, which is always sexy — but here are some kitchen items to make your life a bit easier.
A few things just for fun
And here are the things that probably make no sense to buy, except for when they’re on sale, such as the Barbie Ice Cream play set ahead of the Barbie movie, or nostalgic hot dog rollers to keep your franks warm for your hot dog summer. If you want to up your “Girl Dinner” game, or if you’re still into butter boards, check out this small marble serving platter.
