Best Editor-Approved Presidents Day Sales on Kitchen Gear

Kitchens have limited space. As much as I wish my cabinets would double in capacity overnight, they don’t. But when a product is good enough, I’ll carve out that random corner of that one shelf above my stove to fit it in. Throughout our testing, whether in our lab or in our homes, we’ve found a lot of products that merit real estate. Today, you can buy so many of them on sale ahead of Presidents Day, like my go-to Kikcoin Extra-Large Bamboo Cutting Board Set or the best glass containers from Pyrex. Consider it an early spring refresh—all of these products are total upgrades, and they’re up to 60% off.

Best Amazon Presidents Day Sales on Editor-Loved Appliances 

Appliances are bulky, so they really have to be good for us to devote space to them. Whether you want to make weeknight dinners faster with this GreenLife 6-Quart Slow Cooker, feel like you’re missing a small blender, like this Ninja Nutri Pro Personal Blender, or make heaps of soup and need this Mueller Multistick 5-in-1 Immersion Blender, we’ve got you covered. All of these work beautifully, and many of them don’t break the bank. 

Cuisinart Mini-Prep Plus Food Processor

Editorial Director Carolyn Malcoun loves this small but mighty food processor. “It makes the best vinaigrettes, plus it’s great for chopping small amounts of things like nuts and herbs,” she says. It makes quick work of a lot of tedious meal prep, like chopping onions, garlic, peppers and other produce. It’s also excellent to have on hand for those small jobs, when a huge food processor would be overkill. You might just find that this does the trick almost every time. 

Hamilton Beach Portable Blender

We love this blender, especially as we (slowly but surely) approach spring and summer. Despite its now-$20 price, it performed incredibly well in our tests, blitzing up smoothies in a jiffy. While the blender itself can’t go with you to the gym, the trail or the park, the blender cup doubles as an on-the-go glass, thanks to the included drinking lid. 

Best Amazon Presidents Day Sales on Editor-Loved Kitchen Tools and Storage

Both kitchen tools and food storage are key to a functional kitchen. Below, you’ll find a variety of tried-and-tested favorites in both categories, such as these Pyrex Simply Store Glass Food Storage Containers, this Stanley Quencher ProTour Flip Straw Tumbler, my favorite KitchenAid Ribbed Soft Silicone Oven Mitt Set and more. 

Totally Bamboo Bamboo Cutting Board Set

You don’t need to spend hundreds on a cutting board. This $17 bamboo set includes three options in different sizes, making each just under $6 apiece. They’re not very large, so they’ll absolutely be worth the space they take up. Despite their lighter design, these boards are sturdy, and they never slipped or slid around during testing.  

Pyrex Simply Store Glass Food Storage Containers Set

I couldn’t go without glass containers in my pantry. Yes, they’re heavier and more delicate than plastic, but they earn their space with their versatility. I own a variety of these Pyrex containers, and they deliver on all of their promises. During testing, we were pleasantly surprised by how well these kept food fresh, thanks to their airtight and durable design. 

Best Amazon Presidents Day Sales on Editor-Loved Cookware

You can’t make healthy meals at home without cookware. Luckily, many of our favorite picks are available for less right now. This Great Jones Dutch oven is on rare sale, while one of the most useful kitchen items, the Nordic Ware Extra Large Baking Sheet, is only $20. You can also find picks from Calphalon, Lodge and Le Creuset. 

Lodge 8-Inch Cast-Iron Pre-Seasoned Skillet

You can’t go wrong by adding this 8-inch skillet to your collection. It’s a smaller version of our favorite cast-iron skillet. I love having a range of cast-iron pans in my kitchen for a variety of tasks. This pan is sized just right, making it excellent for searing salmon filets, charring vegetables, baking fruit crumbles and more. 

Great Jones Dutchess 6.75-Quart Oval Cast-Iron Dutch Oven

Great Jones makes cookware that’s as cute as it is functional—trust us! When we tested Dutch ovens, this big size ranked as the best enameled cast-iron option on the market (which is a huge title to uphold, if you ask me). The sleek coating is easy to cook with and clean. The size and shape of this oven add to its versatility, and you’ll surely find countless uses for it.
