Ice that's melted into chunks shatters beneath its weight. Tightly lidded jars exhale. Garlic peels fly. Meat (in zip-top bags) is gently massaged into uniform thinness. What is this miracle kitchen tool, you ask? One that might surprise -- and hopefully delight -- you. I'm talking about this specific rubber mallet that just hit a 17% off Amazon Prime Day deal and now costs under $9.

Amazon Prime Day Sale: This Surprising and Ingenious 'Kitchen' Tool Is 17% Off

For ease of use, cooking power and generally getting the job done with little fuss, my Braun Multiquik 5 immersion hand blender scores top marks. So much so that I would recommend it to home cooks of any experience level looking for a timesaving tool -- at any price. But since this stick blending-whisking-chopping tool happens to be $20 (and about 20% off) during Amazon Prime Day sales, there's no reason not to take the plunge. In fact, it was two years ago that I upgraded to this version from an earlier model, and I couldn't be happier with the more powerful motor and higher-quality construction on the blender wand.

Watermelon season is here and, I don't know about you, but I’ve personally made it my life’s mission this summer to eat as much watermelon as humanly possible. With its high water content—92 percent to be exact—few foods are as refreshing and synonymous with summer as watermelon.
