Fall is America’s favorite season, and for many, one of the biggest reasons for that is the food. In 2021, one survey by OnePoll revealed that for around 40 percent of people in the US, one of the best parts of this time of year is making homemade soups, for example. It’s not surprising—fall is the perfect time to hide from the cold weather, hunker down in the kitchen, and experiment with nourishing, comforting dishes. This doesn’t just mean soup but chilis, stews, pasta dishes, and so much more.
But of course, you need the right tools to cook your best. Luckily, Amazon Prime Day is here, and it has plenty of deals on handy kitchen products, including air fryers, pans, blenders, cutting boards, and mashers. If you want to snap up a bargain, this Amazon Prime Day officially starts on October 8 and will continue for 48 hours.
We’ve listed some of our favorite finds below, split into five categories: air fryers, prep tools, blenders and juicers, pots and pans, and countertop appliances.

Air fryers
Air fryers hit the market for the first time back in 2010, and since then, they have boomed in popularity. In fact, in 2022, the industry was valued at more than $897 million. They’re popular because of their efficiency—by circulating air around the food, these handy kitchen appliances can cook quickly and with far less oil than a deep-fat fryer. Plus, they can cook anything, from cauliflower wings to French fries and vegetables. Looking to invest or upgrade? Find some of our favorite bargains from the Amazon Prime Day sale below.
