I Shop for Kitchen Gear All Day, and I Think These July 4 Deals at Amazon Are Certifiably Great

Whether you’re looking for some new kitchen gear for your July 4th party or are just planning to use the holiday weekend to catch up on some shopping, you’re probably aware that we’re squarely in deal season right now. And with Prime Day on the horizon at Amazon as well, many kitchen and cookware brands are currently slashing prices on some of their best stuff. Since you’re likely designing a massive pyrotechnics show right now (or just working), I’ve galloped through Amazon’s aisles for you, looking for some of the best deals on kitchen and cooking gear at the moment. Between a 49% off chef’s knife I’ve been excited to try, an $8 silicone turner that I actually love, and cool deals on beloved Blackstone griddles — because I feel like the only person alive who doesn’t have one — here are some of the most exciting pieces of equipment I’ve found on sale at Amazon right now. 

5 Best Editor-Loved Deals

Le Creuset 3.5-Quart Enameled Cast Iron Signature Sauteuse

This enameled cast iron piece from legendary French brand Le Creuset features a wide base for braising, sautéing, and frying, but lower walls than a traditional Dutch oven, offering more space for tool usage and great top-down heat distribution when cooking with the lid off. It’s nearly half off at the moment, so now’s the time to grab a vibrant Le Creuset piece.

Winco Chinese Cleaver

I recently penned an ode to my favorite cleaver, and it happens to be on sale for only $13 now. This workhorse is perfect for everything from tough veggies to herbs to proteins. I could say more about it, but just buy it for $13 (aka the price of a good burrito) and see for yourself how awesome it is.

Ninja Air Fryer

This air fryer from Ninja has nearly 50,000 five-star ratings at Amazon. One shopper wrote that it has “quickly become an essential part of our kitchen, especially during the summer months.” They went on to point out that they particularly love it for wings, fries, and chicken fingers, finding it to consistently make “crispy and delicious” food that’s also healthy. Luckily, the device is 31% off at the moment.

ThermoPro Digital Thermometer

Whether you’re preparing dough or protein, it’s extremely important to keep track of the temperatures of your ingredients in the kitchen. Everybody should have a great thermometer, and this beloved option from ThermoPro is only $17.

KitchenAid Classic Series 4.5-Quart Tilt-Head Stand Mixer

KitchenAid stand mixers are among the most respected appliances in kitchen gear history. This mixer has a tilting head, works with a myriad of attachments, and is extremely easy to use and clean. I bake a lot — bagels, pizza, focaccia, and more — and this is the stand mixer I use. I love it.

Gir Premium Silicone Spatula

This simple tool is one of the most indispensable in my drawer. I like its flexible nature, which makes it easy to reach all the rounded corners and flat bottoms of my cookware, even when they’re filled to the brim with food. 

Blackstone Tabletop Griddle

Haven’t you heard? Blackstone griddles are super in right now. Join the club by picking up the dual-zone, 22-by-16-inch tabletop griddle, and you’ll be dishing out superior smash burgers, pancakes, quesadillas, and more in no time.

Traeger Electric Wood Pellet Grill and Smoker

If you’re trying to go full-on grill and smoker, Traeger is a premium choice — and I’d say that even without this model being 29% off. “I was skeptical at first that I made the right choice,” one shopper wrote. “However, after using it several times, I have fallen in love. It works great, has a really good flavor, and it’s really easy to use.”

Cuisinart Ice Cream Maker

I make a pretty mean pistachio gelato thanks to this ice cream maker. This appliance from Cuisinart lets you dish out great ice cream in under 20 minutes, and can do sorbet, gelato, sherbet, and drinks as well. I’m not saying you should quit going out for ice cream (I would never). I am, however, telling you that, for $50, adding an ice cream maker to your kitchen is an absolutely wired move.

Zwilling 8-Inch Chef’s Knife

Best for last? Maybe — this fully-forged, ultra sharp chef’s knife is 48% off right now. One shopper says it’s the best knife they’ve ever owned, adding, “I will order more Zwilling kitchen knives so I will have the whole set.”
