Perks and Rec: The best kitchen deals on Amazon

Amazon just announced the dates for Prime Big Deal Days in October, but we're already seeing discounts pop up on things our experts tested and loved. This week, we sniffed out some great deals for your kitchen—the perfect opportunity to upgrade before holiday cooking and baking hits your schedule. 

Multi-functional small appliances seem like a good deal up front if you're looking to save space and cash, but they're only worth it if all the functions actually do their job. Instead of taking a gamble, try one of our top picks, the Ninja Speedi SF301. With the ability to air fry, sauté, bake, proof bread and more, it was easy to make this our favorite air fryer of the year! Or, if you'd rather go the air fryer and toaster oven combo route, try our winner, the Cuisinart Air Fryer Toaster Oven.  

In even more kitchen sales, we found deals on our favorite affordable Dutch oven, these pasta bowls we've raved about and this retro-inspired milk frother from Smeg. 

Happy shopping,
