If you're considering updating your kitchen setup, first check out these early Prime Day kitchen deals that are already live — the actual sale doesn't start until Tuesday. Engadget editors and reporters have tested and reviewed a whole bunch of kitchen tech and Amazon's annual July sale is a great time to save on many of the gadgets we recommend. Right now, we're seeing discounts on Ninja air fryers, Instant Pots, Anova sous vide machines and even an indoor pizza oven. And we've linked to our testing so you can get some background before diving in. Here are the best deals on kitchen tech for Amazon's Prime Day sale.
Cosori Air Fryer 9-in-1 for $90 ($30 off with Prime): The runner up pick in our air fryer guide has a spacious cooking capacity yet takes up surprisingly little counter space. Little features like an intuitive touchscreen, a safety release button on the basket and an auto-pause feature set this cooker apart.
Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro for $320 ($80 off): This is the premium pick in our air fryer guide — but really, it does far more than just air fry. As our reviewer noted, its massive cubic-foot-capacity and numerous cook modes make this more like an auxiliary oven. (It can even cook an entire 14-pound turkey.) It went on sale for $300 during last year's Black Friday sales.
Ninja Foodie Dual Zone Air Fryer (10 QT) for $180 ($70 off): This is the air fryer to pick if you've ever wished you could air fry two different things at the same time. We named it the best dual-zone air fryer you can get — it even has a feature that makes sure the two different foods are ready at the same time.
Instant Pot Vortex Plus Air Fryer (4QT) for $65 ($65 off with Prime): Here's a smaller version of the Instant air fryer we named best overall. It has a four-quart capacity, which is perfect for one person and small kitchens. And, like its larger sibling, pre-heats quickly.
Ninja Air Fryer (4 QT) for $80 ($50 off): The budget pick from our air fryer guide isn't currently on sale, but this four-quart Ninja fryer has twice the capacity and is nearly the same price. It can also roast and dehydrate in addition to air frying and reheating.
Instant Pot Duo Plus 9-in-1 (6 QT) for $70 ($70 off with Prime): Perhaps you know someone who has somehow gotten this far in life without owning an Instant Pot — perhaps that someone is you. Amazon's Prime Day is a golden opportunity to remedy that. We named it the best multi-cooker you can buy in our guide to kitchen tech.
Cuckoo Twin Pressure Rice Cooker for $190 ($70 off with Prime): This is the best premium rice cooker in our guide to those machines. We like how quickly it cooks all types of rice to perfection (we tested it with long-grain white basmati, brown and sushi-grade white rice). Just keep in mind that it can be a little difficult to clean and the manual isn't the most user-friendly.
Breville InFizz soda maker for $200 ($50 off) : If you want to carbonate just about any beverage, we found Breville's soda maker to be " the bubble master " in our review and appreciated how easy it was to use — and how good it looked on the countertop. It's compatible with standard 60L CO2 canisters, but note that those aren't included here.
Breville Joule Turbo Sous Vide Machine for $200 ($50 off): The premium pick in our guide to sous vice machines has a powerful 1,100-watt heater that cuts down on cooking times. It also uses your phone as the controller (just don't get it if you're hoping for on-device buttons).
Anova Sous Vide Cooker 3.0 for $130 ($80 off): Our top pick for a sous vide machine delivers 1,100 watts of power and a flow rate of eight liters per minute which will get your water up to the right temperature faster. It also has intuitive digital touch controls and Wi-Fi connectivity.
Ooni Volt 12 Electric Indoor Pizza Oven for $630 ($269 off): This is our pick for the best indoor pizza oven — but it can be used outdoors as well thanks to its weather-resistant design. It has front-mounted controls that let you individually control the upper and lower heating elements and it can get up to 850 degrees Fahrenheit in as little as 20 minutes.
