I’m a shopping writer and I spend eight hours every day looking at deals on kitchen products, so as you can imagine, my own kitchen isn’t exactly minimalist. I have stacks of bakeware in the cabinets, and a trolley with wheels where I store my big appliances — and don’t even get me started on my crowded counters. But there are still so many kitchen products out there that I am eager to try, which is why I have been obsessively combing through Amazon to find the best early Prime Day deals.

I’ve rounded up 11 products that I’ll be adding to my cart in anticipation of Prime Day, which is slated to take place July 11 to July 12 this year. These early deals include steep discounts on some of my favorite kitchenware brands, including Yeti, Cusinart, and KitchenAid. And I just have to share what I found with the world: Not only is this epic grill brush 45% off, but this under-the-sink caddy that will finally help me get all my cleaning products organized is only $13.

Keep scrolling to discover my picks for some of the best early Prime Day deals to grab right now. And since prices start at just $8, you’ll be just as excited as I am to start shopping.

Best Editor-Loved Early Prime Day Deals

Yeti 10-Ounce Rambler Mug

<p>Amazon</p>

Amazon

To buy: $25 (originally $29) at amazon.com 

I drink several cups of iced coffee and hot tea throughout the day, so I’ve had my eye on this Yeti mug for a while now, just waiting for it to go on sale. It’s made from stainless steel, so if I drop it at home or on the sidewalk it won’t dent, and a magnet slides over the opening on the lid when it's not in use to prevent spills and splashes. But its stand out feature is the double-wall insulation, which keeps the temperature of beverages consistent for hours — taking a sip of tepid coffee will be a thing of the past.

Rottay Silicone Ice Cube Trays, Set of 2

<p>Amazon</p>

Amazon

To buy: $10 (originally $17) at amazon.com 

Once I started using silicone ice trays I never looked back. This set of two is only $10, and the molds make both square and round-shaped ice — the latter of which is great for cocktails. In my opinion, wrestling with a rigid plastic ice tray is just too much work. Ice releases easily from the silicone molds, takes up less space in the freezer, and because they’re so flexible, you never have to worry about accidentally cracking or breaking one. Make the switch to silicone ice trays now, you won’t regret it.

Grillart Grill Brush

<p>Amazon</p>

Amazon

To buy: $16 (originally $30) at amazon.com

In the summer, grilling is a regular occurrence in our backyard, but the grill needs to be cleaned before and after each use, which means the grill brush gets worn down quickly. That’s why I’m so excited that this Grillart grill brush with more than 11,000 five-star ratings is finally on sale — and it’s 45% off. Three rows of stainless steel bristles, plus a scraper, clear away food scraps and caked on grease to keep your grill clean, which will extend its lifespan.

Meetrue Popsicle Molds

<p>Amazon</p>

Amazon

To buy: $17 (originally $22) at amazon.com

There is an ice cream truck that circles my neighborhood, but I finally decided, why wait for its familiar jingle when I can make my own popsicles? Made from flexible, easy release silicone, this mold can hold up to 12 popsicles at a time, and it comes with a tight, leak proof lid. This is a great product to have on hand this summer, especially if you have kids around, who can make their own customized popsicle flavors for a treat on sunny afternoons by the pool.

Cuisinart Chopper and Grinder

<p>Amazon</p>

Amazon

To buy: $30 (originally $40) at amazon.com

A food processor is one the most invaluable tools a home cook can own, but I’ve personally hesitated to buy one for a long time because they tend to be bulky and take up so much counter space. That’s why this Cuisinart model is so appealing to me. It measures just 5.6- by 7.2- by 9.3-inches, so it's compact enough to be stored out of sight in a cabinet when it's not being used. Despite its small size, it’s powerful enough to quickly repair salsa, pesto, and hummus, or grind up almonds for flour or graham crackers for pie crust. And at just $30, it's one of the most affordable food processor options out there.

Puiluo Under the Sink Organizer

<p>Amazon</p>

Amazon

To buy: $13 with coupon (originally $25) at amazon.com

Over the years, I have accumulated many different cleaning products, and they are piled into plastic bins underneath my sink. The solution to this unnecessary clutter is this two-tiered storage shelf which can organize all your spray and aerosol cleaning products, sponges and dish rags, dish soap, and paper towels all in one easy to access place. It measures 8.5- by  15.5'- by 11.6-inches so it’s narrow enough to fit next to an exposed drain pipe, but still has enough storage to make the space look tidier.

Nordic Ware Sheet Pans, Set of 3

<p>Amazon</p>

Amazon

To buy: $36 (originally $52) at amazon.com

Cookie sheets are probably the most hardworking pieces of bakeware in my kitchen. They endure high oven temperatures to either roast vegetables and bake cookies nearly every week. This set of three Nordic Ware sheet pans are the perfect upgrade. They’re made from resilient aluminum which is warp-resistant, and excellent at conducting heat, so your dishes will be baked evenly everytime. This set has more than 3,900 perfect ratings at Amazon, and one shopper even wrote that they are “the strongest, most durable baking pans [they’ve] ever used.”

Shark S7001 Steam Mop

<p>Amazon</p>

Amazon

To buy: $99 (originally $180) at amazon.com

One of the early Prime Day deals that I’m most excited about is on this Shark steam mop, which has 3,544 five-star ratings at Amazon. I have hardwood floors in my kitchen which require constant upkeep, and I need a mop that can  remove caked on dirt and food splatters without much elbow grease on my part. The steam power from this mop softens stains before removing them, while also sanitizing bacteria. The water tank only takes 60 seconds to heat up, and because it uses only water, you don’t have to use any chemical-heavy cleaners.

KitchenAid Bowl Scrapers, Set of Two

<p>Amazon</p>

Amazon

To buy: $8 (originally $16) at amazon.com

I’ve been baking at home for about seven years now, and scraping out the inside of a mixing bowl is one task I have to do almost every time. A tool that can make this job easier is a bowl scraper, and KitchenAid makes a flexible, durable silicone version that is 50% off right now. This tool ensures that none of the cake batter or your bread, cookie, pie crust dough goes to waste on the side of the bowl. Plus, it’s dishwasher-safe and can be used on every type of cookware. Even if you already have one that is stainless steel, you also need the silicone version because it conforms to the sides of the bowl to make sure you don’t miss a drop.

Cuisinart Cast Iron Grill Press

<p>Amazon</p>

Amazon

To buy: $13 (originally $20) at amazon.com

When it comes to grilling, I love to experiment with new dishes and styles of cooking, which is why this Cuisinart grill press is so enticing to me. It’s made from ultra-durable and long lasting cast iron, opening up tons of possibilities on the grill. Not only can it be used for crispy-edged smash burgers, it also produces a perfect char on steaks and vegetables, and keeps bacon from curling. And with more than 15,000 perfect ratings on Amazon, it’s beloved by shoppers too. One reviewer wrote that the press has a lot of “value for the price,” and also noticed that it motivated her husband, who loves to grill, to “try new recipes and add new twists to old ones.”
