As a kitchen editor, I basically count down the days until big shopping events. Amazon’s October Prime Day, also called Prime Big Deal Days, is nearly over and we're checking out the last and best Amazon deals.

I limited this list to products our team of Food & Wine editors and writers have tested and can vouch for. Whether it’s cookware, an air fryer, an espresso machine, or a grill, you want to know a product is reliable before you buy it, no matter how good the discount is. From top brands like Ninja, KitchenAid, Breville, and Le Creuset, everything I’m sharing has earned our seal of approval. These are the tools and appliances I recommend adding to your cart before the night is over.

Best October Prime Day Deals Overall

Best-Tested Amazon Prime Day Kitchen Appliance Deals

Small appliances make kitchens more functional (and often more fun), and this October Prime Day is the best time to buy them. We’re expecting some of these favorites to sell out before Prime Day ends, like the viral Ninja Creami Deluxe Ice Cream Maker and the classic KitchenAid Artisan Series 5-Quart Tilt-Head Stand Mixer, because it’s rare to find them on sale. Air fryers can also go fast, so we found deals from Ninja and Instant Pot, which come out at the top of our tests year after year. And if you’re looking to save on a big-ticket item, we recommend grabbing the GE Profile Opal 2.0 Countertop Ice Maker while it’s $101 off.

Best-Tested Amazon Prime Day Coffee Deals

As temperatures continue to drop this fall, the convenience of having coffee on tap at home easily beats going out for a latte. Buying coffee equipment now can also save you money in the long run, whether it’s a semi-automatic espresso machine from Breville, the top brand in our tests, or a milk frother from another reliable name, such as Bodum or Instant. Also important is keeping coffee hot, so consider grabbing an insulated coffee mug or tumbler from editor-favorites Hydro Flask and Yeti before Amazon's October Prime Day kitchen deals are over.

Best-Tested Amazon Prime Day Knife Deals

Knives can come with a hefty price tag, so we love these October Prime Day kitchen deals to snag them for the best value. From steak knives to a cheese knife set, the following Amazon finds come from brands that have edged out the competition in multiple rounds of testing, including Zwilling J.A. Henckels.

Best-Tested Amazon Prime Day Cookware Deals

If you build your kitchen around quality cookware, you’ll be prepared to cook almost anything. These Amazon October Prime Day deals on some of our tested favorites come from some of the biggest names — Le Creuset, Staub, and Lodge — and newcomers like Caraway, which has stood out in our tests for its non-toxic cookware

Best-Tested Amazon Prime Day Kitchen Tool and Gadget Deals

Kitchen tools and gadgets help to make cooking easier and more streamlined. The best Amazon October Prime Day deals in this department include a KitchenAid grater for just $15. We also found markdowns on a few of our best-tested meat thermometers from Meater, ThermoWorks, Dash, and OXO. Buy one now, and you’ll thank yourself for it this Thanksgiving. 

Best-Tested Amazon Prime Day Kitchen Essentials Deals

A variety of items make up a well-rounded kitchen, from basics, you might take for granted, like a functional trash can, to quality pieces like wooden cutting boards from Caraway, October Prime Day is the ideal time to stock your kitchen with our editor-favorite pasta bowls, which cost just $34 for a set, and food storage containers.

Best-Tested Amazon Prime Day Grill Deals

We’ve tested dozens of grills over the years, keeping updated with new releases and upgraded versions of our favorites. The big names remain the same — think Traeger and Weber — and this year's October Prime Day deals include a few of their models. If you’re looking to save space and money, the Cuisinart CGG-750 Portable Grill stands out for its $153 price tag.
