Staub Cast Iron Dutch Oven 3.8L Round Cocotte with Lid Originally $299.99; on sale for $199.99

If ever there was a time to invest in premium cast-iron cookware, this is it. The much-coveted enamel-coated French cookware line Staub prides itself on its durability, and also comes in a range of bright hues. As a kitchen staple, this multitasking cookware is great for all types of recipes, including stews, braises and no-knead bread. It retains heat evenly, and is pretty enough to go from oven to table.

KitchenAid Artisan Mini Stand Mixer Originally $439.99; on sale for $329.99

The Mini Stand Mixer can do everything its regular-sized counterpart can do without taking up nearly as much space. (I own both sizes and I find myself reaching for the smaller one way more often.) It’s big enough to make a batch of 30 cookies, or a large loaf of bread or a quick batch of brownies—and more. Its compact size makes it easier to clean, and this matte white colour will sit pretty in any kitchen.

 

Braun MultiQuick 5 Vario Immersion Hand Blender Originally $79.99; on sale for $49.99

Transferring boiling hot soup in several batches to your blender  is a pain. Purée your soup or your mirepoix right in the pot instead with this immersion blender. (Bonus: Its splash control technology reduces splatters.) Plus, an additional line of attachments–sold separately—means you can also use it to chop, whisk and crush.

Vitamix Explorian Blender, Professional-Grade Originally $379.95; on sale for $249.95

This pre-owned, refurbished 64-oz Vitamix comes with a 90-day guaranteee and a far more reasonable price tag than new models. Like all Vitamix blenders, its aircraft-grade stainless steel blades can handle the toughest ingredients you throw its way, so you can chop, grind, blend and emulsify to your heart’s content. Its low-profile container means it’s great for small spaces and can fit under most kitchen cabinets for easy access whenever you need it.

 

Vitamix Blender Professional-Grade Container Originally $535.83; on sale for $399.95

This brand new 64-oz Vitamix rarely goes on sale, so snag it while you can. Our editor-in-chief purchased hers eight years ago and it remains her most-used small appliance.

Meater Original Smart Meat Thermometer Originally $119.99; on sale for $95

Dubbed the world’s best-selling smart meat thermometer, the Meater connects directly to an app so you can walk away from the grill and still be alerted when the meat has reached your preferred temperature. Our food editor uses hers all the time!

  

Combi Wave 3-in-1 Microwave Air Fryer Oven Originally $699.99; on sale for $499.99

Perfect for smaller spaces, the Combi Wave 3-in 1 combines an air fryer, convection oven and microwave in one appliance so you can make popcorn and roast potatoes in the same appliance. It also features a cook-from-frozen function for those nights you forget to defrost dinner.

Henckels Aviara Premium Knife Block Set Originally $399.99; on sale for $149.99

You truly don't need 17 knives, but this is a great deal on a quality set that will keep you paring, chopping and slicing for years to come.  

All-Clad Hard Anodized Nonstick 10-Piece Cookware Set Originally $457; on sale for $299.99

Finally getting around to investing in a high-quality set of cookware? This All-Clad set has all the essentials, provides even heating and has three safe, PFOA-free nonstick layers for flawless release.
