Prime Day kitchen deals: They’re coming back. Did you miss them?

Well, not Amazon Prime Day exactly. It’s the fall version of the retail giant’s sales event that it calls Prime Big Deal Days. But the idea is the same. Discounts, sometimes more than 60% on thousands of items.

Here’s the problem though: pages featuring those thousands of items are a jungle to cut through. Just because something is one of Amazon’s top sellers doesn’t mean it’s the best version of that item, no matter how many stars it has.

That’s why, every year for Prime Day, we cross-reference our deep database of product testing compiled over years of searing, chopping, toasting, air frying, coffee brewing, and everything else we do in the kitchen that makes it the best room in the house.

The biggest deals won’t hit until the actual sales event in October, but one thing we’ve learned covering Prime Day is that there are always some early deals to be had. Jump down for our favorite early Prime Day deals on air fryers, coffee makers, cookware, and more, here.

And now on with the discounts. This page will continue to be updated as we get into the actual Prime Big Deal Days, but you can already get up to 33% off on a whole range of items

Early Prime Day cookware deals

It’s never a bad time to pick up a Dutch oven from Le Creuset or stainless steel pan from All-Clad, both of which can last you a lifetime. GreenPan’s nonstick frying pan, which tops our list of the best (non-toxic) nonstick pans, is a best-seller among BA readers—and ahead of Prime Day, you can snag one for $50.

This is also a great time to grab a cookware set (know a recent grad or bride- or groom-to-be?). We haven’t seen discounts on some from our favorite brands yet—including Fissler, Made In, and Ninja—but if Prime Days past are any indication, we’ll see prices drop next week. (Fingers crossed…)

Early Prime Day appliance deals

Good appliances often come with big price tags, so you can score some serious savings if you take advantage of sale events like Big Deal Days to replace the toaster you’ve had since college or finally upgrade your blender. Or, perhaps yours is one of the ever-shrinking number of kitchens that doesn’t yet have an air fryer—fix that now by taking advantage of the steep discount on our favorite basket-style model from Instant (it’s 43% off!).

Great deals on coffee gear

There are also discounts on some already-affordable coffee gear. If you’ve been considering going the at-home route for your espresso habit, our favorite machine with a built in grinder (from Breville) is 33% off—making it a cool grand, which is actually pretty low for a quality brewer.

Early Prime Day deals on kitchen tools

Prime Day (and the weeks leading up) are a great time to pick up some of those less expensive kitchen essentials, like a scale or a peeler. Bigger purchases, like good knife sets, are a little harder to come by on sale, but there will likely be a few on the way.

Your Prime Day questions answered

What is Amazon Prime Big Deal Days?

A few years ago Amazon began running back its Prime Day sales in the fall ahead of the holiday shopping season. It’s a chance for people to pull the trigger on any deals they hesistated on and missed during the OG Prime Day in July.

When is Amazon Prime Day this fall?

Unlike Amazon’s summer Prime Day sale this summer, which, for the first time ever, was four days long, Prime Big Deal Days is going to remain the standard two days. It will run from October 7-8, so plenty of time to make those pre-Thanksgiving purchases that will help make holiday meal prep quicker, easier, and more organized.

Do I have to be a Prime member to get the deals?

Mostly you do. For the vast majority of sales that come online during the event you will need an Amazon Prime membership, which costs $139 a year. Now, as people who frequently utilize Prime shipping in both our professional and personal lives, we can say that it can pay for itself pretty quickly (in time saved if nothing else). A change from earlier Prime Day sales though is that Amazon seems to have discontinued its free 30-day trial.

Previously, you could sign up for a free Prime Trial before or during Prime Day and then cancel if you decided it wasn’t your thing. Instead of a free Trial, Amazon now offers a week of Prime benefits for $1.99. That will still give you access to Prime Day deals for almost free, but, because lasts a week instead of a month, you’ll want to wait until early October to activate the trial.

What will be on sale during Amazon Prime Day?

To put it simply, a lot of stuff. We typically see deals on thousands of items throughout the multi-day event, spanning dozens of product categories. If there’s something you’ve been eyeing, chances are it’ll be on sale at some point.

How much are items typically discounted?

Per Amazon’s seller forum, items must be discounted “at least 20% off the non-member, non-promotional price” to qualify as a Prime Day deal. But we’ve seen items go on sale for upward of 50% off—that can mean hundreds of dollars in savings.
