These Target Circle Week kitchen deals are downright delicious — here's what I'm shopping as a pro baker

There's nothing like easy access to caffeine on busy mornings. Just fill the tank with water, pop in a K-Cup of your choice and start brewing. Your coffee will be ready in minutes — and at less than 5 inches wide, this little wonder means you won't have to sacrifice precious kitchen real estate, either. 

"It’s a great size to take with us to hotels and camping," shared a traveler. "It makes a cup of coffee quickly and takes up minimal space. We have events in Las Vegas and they have removed the coffee pots in most hotels so you have to buy expensive coffee and venture to the casinos in the morning. We can avoid that with our coffee maker and coffee pods."

Getting a powerful Ninja blender for just $100 is not an everyday occurrence, so if you could use a new smoothie-blitzer, you'll want to jump on this sale. You're getting a 1400-watt motor, a 72-ounce pitcher and two single-serve cups for bringing on the go. 

"I love this blender!" swooned a shopper. "It's wonderful to insert ingredients, then sit back and watch it work. Starts and stops on its own to prevent the motor from overheating. The blades are super sharp, and the whole blade tower is removable. To wash, just fill halfway with warm water and a splash of dishwashing liquid, then blend again. Rinse, and let dry. Perfection!"

Multi-use appliances are a godsend for small kitchens, and this double-duty machine is no exception. It's roomy enough to fit six slices of bread, a 4-pound chicken or 12-inch pizza and can also be used for baking cakes and brownies. The sleek stainless steel design is just a bonus. 

"Instead of heating up the oven, we can easily make dinner or lunch by using this," wrote a reviewer. "Makes great fried chicken and crunchy vegetables ... Great for warming up pizza versus the microwave, as it isn't mushy (same with French fries!)."

Thanks to this self-sharpening set, you'll never have to worry about your blades getting dull — the wooden block has ceramic sharpeners built right in. Plus, these pieces were crafted using antimicrobial technology to help minimize bacteria growth. Included are a 3.5-inch paring knife, a 5-inch santoku knife, an 8-inch chef's knife, an 8-inch bread knife, six steak knives and a pair of kitchen shears.

"I thought self-sharpening knives were a gimmick!" admitted a buyer. "Not these! Wow, just wow! These feel great in your hand. The ergonomic aspect is perfect. They are super-sharp. They cut through a large head of cabbage like butter!"

With this deal, you're not only getting a multitasking Instant Pot for an amazing price, you're also getting a stainless steel steam rack and silicone cupcake/egg bite/muffin pan. The appliance itself allows you to do everything from slow cook to sous vide, and the 15 one-touch programs make preparing your favorite meals a breeze. 

"Great features!" wrote a shopper. "This product makes food easy and fast."

A 12-piece set of cookware for just $126? These days, it's hard to find a single pan for that price! This gorgeous collection includes a stockpot, two frypans, two saucepans, two sauté pans and five lids — everything you need for cooking up delicious meals. The nonstick coating is free of PTFE and PFOA, and you'll also get six pan protectors to help prevent scratching when you stack pieces. 

"I usually buy myself a new set of cookware every couple of years, but with this one I feel like I will have it for a long time," wrote a fan. "Super good quality. Super heavy-duty and nice. The handles don't get hot when I cook, which is a must! Would recommend — would be perfect as a wedding gift!"

Only need the essentials? This ceramic nonstick pair is made without PFAS, PFOA, lead or cadmium and can go in ovens as hot as 600°F. Their stainless steel bodies provide extra durability, and the chip-resistant coating can handle metal cooking tools. 

"I am obsessed with these frypans!" declared a home cook. "Not only are they good to cook on for my kids, but the nonstick makes cleanup a breeze! After cooking scrambled eggs with cheese for the kiddos, it's as easy as rinse and wipe clean! No soaking needed!"

This is the stand mixer I use at home, and considering this is the best price I'm seeing on the internet, I'm tempted to get a second! It truly is a baker's best friend, whether you're stirring up cake batters and cookie doughs, whipping cream, kneading bread and so much more. It comes with whisk, paddle and dough hook attachments and can mix dozens of cookies in one go. 

"I use it for everything," gushed a happy shopper. "It's just so convenient. Whipping up mashed potatoes has never been so easy. I was never a baker, but I am now! It's fun to throw boxed cakes together, tinker with them and have a delicious cake in no time. Being disabled in my left arm, this literally has done all of my mixing for me from A-Z."

Ideal for small households, this sleek appliance won't take up much counter space and offers six browning levels to help you achieve golden perfection. Its wide slots can accommodate everything from bagels to Texas toast and it has a gluten-free setting to heat denser breads without burning. 

"It fits my bagels and waffles perfectly and still toasts my bread the way I like it!" raved a reviewer. "The outside is not metal, therefore it's a little cooler to the touch while in use. ... The outside texture is super easy to clean too. I love that the little hidden crumb tray empties easily and cord-winder on the bottom lets me store it quickly."

I've been wanting to switch from plastic to glass when it comes to storing leftovers, and I love how colorful this set is. Each container comes with a lid that, according to the brand, is leak-proof, and they have silicone sleeves to protect against cracks. Plus, they're dishwasher-, microwave- and oven-safe. 

"I love these!" exclaimed an enthusiastic shopper. "Easy to wash, heats up without the plastic particles going into my food. The bottom is glass and the lid is plastic, but that shouldn’t matter because the food touches the bottom."
