Best Amazon Outlet Deals on Kitchen Appliances

The Amazon kitchen outlet is a treasure trove of essential appliances at steep discounts — find a sandwich press for just $14 or a waffle maker that is 44% off. One of the best deals of the bunch is this Vitamix blender, which is on a rare sale. This 64-ounce model features touch screen controls, and a built-in timer which lets you control the length of your blend. Vitamix blenders are famously powerful — able to break down leafy greens, whole frozen fruit and ice, and even nuts into smooth textures. The sturdy stainless steel blades ensure that versatile this appliance can whip up ice cream, soups, and nut butter without stalling out.

Best Amazon Outlet Deals on Kitchen Tools and Gadgets

Once you’ve stocked up on big ticket appliances, be sure not to overlook the small kitchen tools that make simple and complicated just a little bit easier. For instance, this now-$7 digital thermometer is absolutely indispensable for cooking meat. It delivers a temperature reading in as little as two seconds, which goes a long way to preventing overcooked steaks, chicken breasts, and burgers — and it's accurate within 1 degree. The bright LCD screen guarantees that it's easy to read, and the thin stainless steel probe folds right into the body of the thermometer for easy storage.

Just about everyone owns a box grater for cheese, but if you dread straining your wrist just to get a pile of shredded cheese, it might be time to try a rotary cheese grater. This one is 58% off right now. It comes with three blades, for shredding cheese and vegetables and slicing onions, apples, cucumbers, and other produce. With the crank of a handle, you can produce a pile of grated cheese with much less effort than the elbow grease it takes to use a box grater, plus your fingers never come in contact with a blade or sharp edge. Conveniently, the base features a strong suction cup to keep the rotary grater in place while you’re using it.

Best Amazon Outlet Deals on Cookware

If you’re using your cookware daily, chances are your kitchen is in need of a refresh. You can never have too many frying pans, which might get the most regular use of any piece of cookware in your kitchen, and right now you can score two GreenPan frying pans for just $59. The set comes with an 8-inch and a 10-inch pan, and the ceramic surface is both nonstick and nontoxic. The pans are safe to use in the oven and the broiler up to 600°F, while three layers of stainless steel ensure that they are built to withstand frequent use — and they’re dishwasher-safe as well.

A griddle is one the handiest tools for making big batches of breakfast dishes. This Anolon nonstick griddle pan is 18 by 10-inch, and spans two burners so you have plenty of space to prepare fried eggs and bacon at the same time, as well as multiple pancakes at once. Whatever you are cooking just slides right off smooth aluminum nonstick surface, which can also be wiped down with a damp cloth for clean up that won’t distract you from your freshly-cooked meal. For easy maneuvering from the stove to the oven  — where it's safe up to 400°F — there are two sturdy metal handles on either side.
