Behold the Vitamix at 45% off for Prime Day

Today and tomorrow is Prime Day — that “Christmas in July” time of the year when Amazon offers deep discounts on items you never knew you needed. Peruse Amazon’s vast virtual warehouse and you’ll find a trove of items ranging from the practical to whimsical.

Here are the six best deals to snag during Prime Day that will make your kitchen happy.

Vitamix 5200 Blender

I’ve received presents of diamonds, vacations, and designer shoes but by far my favorite gift has been my Vitamix. I have this model and, while I appreciate its ability to make fantastic smoothies, what has me smitten is the way it makes soup. Simply add your veggies, broth, cream, and herbs and voila, the Vitamax makes up a batch of piping-hot soup! Vitamix is especially great for creamy bisques. And, with its self-clean feature, just add some warm water and a drop of dish soap and the Vitamix does all the heavy lifting for you. Snatch this workhorse up for $299 - 45% off its normal selling price.

Enameled Cast Iron Covered Dutch Oven

I love enameled Dutch ovens — they’re colorful and practical — and not only for cooking but for serving, too. A six-quart is the perfect size for tossing and presenting summer salads. And they’re a one-stop shop: you can prepare and store in one amazing unit. The Dutch oven is every kitchen’s most utilitarian item, going from stovetop to oven to table. For Prime Day, Amazon Basic’s Dutch oven comes in a rainbow of colors and three different sizes (4.3 quart, 6 quart, and 7.3 quart), and prices start at $28.32 (prices vary with size and color). If you’re wondering whether or not these Dutch ovens are as good as the expensive kind, Amazon’s versions received an average of 4.7 out of 5 stars and 41,449 reviews.

Melamine Mixing Bowl Set

Summer is the season for watermelon (just ask Anne Burrell), salads, and snacks. Whether you’re entertaining on your deck (or fire escape) or packing a picnic, having a set of colorful, unbreakable bowls with lids makes a day at the beach (or an evening on the sofa) as easy as a warm breeze. This melamine mixing bowl set offers five bowls (0.8, 1.8, 2.8, 4, and 5.8 quart sizes) with matching lids. Added bonus: the hydrangea pattern is Instagram-worthy for when you need to share those memories with everyone on your feed. The set is $33.99 for Prime Day, so place an order and throw out all your mismatched containers while you wait for these beauties to be delivered to your doorstep.

Stainless Steel Scraper/Chopper with Contoured Grip

A scraper/chopper is the best low-tech gadget you can have in your kitchen. I use mine for chopping vegetables, then scraping them into my bowl. Fancy a chopped salad? I mix my greens, veggies, protein, and dressing in my bowl then give everything a good chopping: in a minute it’s ready to serve. At $8.61, you’ll find yourself reaching for this chopper/scraper every day.

Air Fryer

Are you the last person on earth without an air fryer? I hear you — they can be expensive and take up lots of counter space. If your goal is to simply make buffalo cauliflower and fries, then this DASH Tasti-Crisp digital air fryer is the one for you. It’s compact, comes in different colors, and does the job — for under $40.

Digital Meat Thermometer

Want to know one item that will immediately make you a better home cook? a meat thermometer. It’s the difference between guessing whether your protein is ready and knowing when it’s perfect. This battery-operated digital thermometer is waterproof, easy to read — and it’s 70% off for Prime Day ($11.99).
