Y Yhy 6-Piece 50-Ounce Pasta Bowl Set

$43

$26

These bowls are the bigger version of my coveted Y Yhy pasta bowl set , which is one of our top picks. With 50 ounces of space, you can use these for just about anything, including pasta, stews, casseroles, salad, sides, stir-fry, and more. They’re made with the same ceramic materials I love, offering a smooth design that’s dishwasher- and microwave-safe. You get six in the set, which is an ideal amount because — speaking from experience— you’ll probably want to use these bowls just about every day. Shop the set for just $29 right now.

Yeti Rambler 20-Ounce Tumbler

$35

$28

It’s rare to find Yeti pieces on sale, let alone on sale at Amazon. But today, this Rambler tumbler is discounted in two colors — Cosmic Lilac and Charcoal — thanks to an on-site coupon. I love using this tumbler, and so does my family. Multiple people have stolen mine from me to use without my knowledge because it is just that great. The 20-ounce size isn't too big, yet it still holds enough of your favorite beverage, whether it be hot coffee or iced tea. The brand’s MagSlider lid slides firmly shut to help prevent spills and is safe to use with hot or cold drinks. These Yeti deals virtually never last, so score them while you can.

Breville The Barista Express Espresso Machine

$750

$550

I always say that if I were to ever take the plunge and buy an espresso machine, it would without a doubt be this Breville model. It’s our favorite model on the market because of how customizable it is, and it also happens to be one of Amazon’s bestsellers. It comes with an automatic or manual option, so you control as much of the process as you want. There are a wide range of settings and functions, including a built-in burr grinder for the freshest brew, and it’s nearly 30% off ahead of October Prime Day — meaning you can save $200.

Le Creuset 4.5-Quart Enameled Cast Iron Signature Round Dutch Oven

$390

$270

My Le Creuset Dutch oven is one of the most covetable kitchen pieces, and a lot of home cooks will agree. It pays to get one, especially on sale, because they really will last you for years — mine has been in the family for two decades. This 4.5-quart model is a great in-between size, as it won’t be too big but it won’t be too small. You can use this enameled cast iron piece for a range of tasks, including soup, sauce, stew, bread, and more. It’ll be great for holiday sides, too. It’s up to 31% off in the cerise shade though you can grab it on sale in other colors like Caribbean , flame , meringue , and sea salt .

Rubbermaid FreshWorks 8-Piece Produce Storage Container Set

$40

$23

Nearly 50% off ahead of October Prime Day, these popular produce containers have a special design to help extend the life of your ingredients. The lid’s built-in filter removes excess carbon dioxide, while the patterned bottom lifts your ingredients for air circulation. There are four containers in the set with matching lids for eight pieces total. You get two 4.6-cup containers, one 11.3-cup container, and one 18.1 cup container.

KitchenAid Oven Mitt, Pot Holder, and Kitchen Towel Set

$50

$19

As a baker, this KitchenAid set is a particularly tempting deal for me. It comes with one oven mitt that’s lined with silicone ribs for added grip, along with a pot holder with the same silicone design. It also includes two kitchen towels, one with a solid color design and one with a square pattern. It’s an excellent addition to your collection, especially ahead of the holidays. (I own five different oven mitts right now, and I use all of them.) The beet color has the highest discount, though I am also eyeing milkshake and pistachio .

Le Creuset 3-Piece Heritage Stoneware Baking Dish Set

$195

$135

Everyone needs baking dishes, but they’re especially necessary for sides, casseroles, and desserts over the holidays. Le Creuset's baking dishes are a great pick — they’re chic, functional, and fuss-free to use. This set comes with three helpful sizes: a smaller 7.5-inch dish, a medium 10-inch dish, and a larger 12-inch dish. They're each made with durable stoneware that's built for the oven or the broiler, plus you can pop it into the refrigerator or freezer safely. Score it on sale in every color today.

Lodge 12-Inch Pre-Seasoned Cast Iron Skillet

$44

$25

We all know and love 10.25-inch skillets, but I have to make a case for 12-inch ones. I use mine more than my other pans because of its generous size. And Lodge is an excellent brand to reach for — my parents own one and love it, plus the brand’s skillets are tried and tested by us. This one happens to be 43% off and features compact helper handles that ensure it fits on the stove, in the oven, or on the grill easily. It also has two pour spouts for easy draining. Use this do-it-all pan for baking cornbread, cobblers, cookie skillets, and biscuits, or use it to sear proteins and vegetables.

Cuisinart Prep 9-Cup Food Processor

$180

$145

My current food processor needs an overhaul. It works, but it’s just not performing as efficiently as I need it to, and I’ve always wanted one that comes with attachments. So when I saw this deal on the 9-cup food processor from Cuisinart, I got excited. It’s now 20% off and includes everything you’d need: a 9-cup base with plenty of space for recipes,  a lid with a large opening for streaming in oil or adding ingredients, and three blades for prep work (a standard chopping disk, a shredding disc, and a slicing disk). It has simple on, off, and pulse buttons for straightforward processing, too.
