Yeti Tumbler with Handle and Straw Lid

Yeti makes high-quality gear, and when they have a sale on any of their products, they disappear pretty quickly. So don’t wait too long — the brand’s popular Rambler tumbler with a handle and straw lid is discounted by 20% today in wild vine red. One of our favorite Yeti products, it’s ideal for keeping ice and liquid cold for up to eight hours. Since it fits in most car cup holders, it’s the perfect tumbler to take with you on the go. Your hardest decision will be what size to get it in: The 42-ounce, 35-ounce, and 25-ounce cups are all on sale in wild vine red.

Lodge 10.25-Inch Cast Iron Skillet with Hot Handle Holder

The Lodge cast iron skillet stands out from the competition with even heat retention and distribution and exemplary searing ability. And we should know; we’ve put it through the paces many times. When it comes to cast iron pans, this 10.25-inch skillet is our benchmark: It bakes cornbread to a perfect golden brown and sears steaks beautifully. The large helper handle makes it easy to maneuver the pan, while the included silicone handle holder keeps your hands protected from the heat. Over 2,000 shoppers have already snagged it this past month. At close to 30% off, adding one to your kitchen collection is a no-brainer.

Ninja Foodi DualZone FlexBasket Air Fryer

This Ninja air fryer earned the spot of best dual-zone air fryer because it cooks two different items at the same time and does it well. You can set two different temperatures — one for each of the two air fryer baskets —  and knock out a meal fast. Plus, you can combine the sides to make one 7-quart basket for larger portions. Its easy-to-use control panel has six presets: air fry, air broil, bake, roast, dehydrate, and reheat. If you’re looking for a more budget-friendly option, consider the Cosori air fryer, which also has our stamp of approval and is on sale for under $100.

Global 8-Inch Classic Japanese Chef's Knife 

Having a sharp chef’s knife is necessary in any kitchen. Up to any chopping task, this 8-inch option from Global is lightweight and made from one piece of durable stainless steel. We appreciated how well-balanced the Japanese-style knife is — it was a breeze to chop an onion and create the best basil chiffonade we’ve ever made — and has an ergonomic dimpled handle. Get it for $60 off ahead of Presidents Day.

Vitamix E310 Explorian Blender

Dubbed one of the best blenders, this powerful Vitamix Explorian blender soared through our tests, whipping up silky smooth breakfast smoothies, creamy soup, and pulverized ice cubes with ease. It covers all of your blending bases with 10 speed settings that let you blend, emulsify, grind, heat, and more. We love its compact footprint  — it measures 11 x 8 x 18 inches  — so it’s easy to store, not to mention a breeze to clean.

Tramontina 10-Inch Nonstick Skillet

Every kitchen needs a good nonstick frying pan like this Tramontina 10-inch skillet, which we named our best value. Even better? It’s 50% off right now. (The smaller 8-inch version is an impressive 60% off, too!) Since it’s heat-safe up to 400°F, this skillet can be used on any stovetop and in the oven. It excelled at frying eggs, reheating leftovers, and more. We found it well-constructed and loved how comfortable the cushioned handle is. Shockingly, the pan is even dishwasher-safe.

Le Creuset 7.25-Quart Enameled Cast Iron Dutch Oven

If having a Le Creuset Dutch oven is on your wish list, this 7.25-quart enameled cast iron version is on rare sale at $135 off. It ranks high on our list for its durable build, versatility, and heirloom quality. When it comes to cooking in it, this Dutch oven delivers consistent heat distribution and retention and is large enough to make a one-pot meal or cook up a batch of soup or chili. Snag it in cerise while it’s nearly 30% off at Amazon’s Presidents Day sale.

Crock-Pot Programmable Slow Cooker

Now 35% off, Crock-Pot’s 8-quart programmable slow cooker is the best large-capacity model we’ve tested. It’s “been a consistent favorite” of our testing editors, proving itself time and again during our assessments. Its control panel is simple to use and its lid and removable stoneware insert can be tossed in the dishwasher for easy cleanup. Noting that it's “built for performance and longevity,” our editors recommend it for feeding several hungry people.

Zwilling J.A. Henckels 4-Stage Pull-Through Knife Sharpener

This manual Zwilling knife sharpener makes short work of getting that knife razor sharp again. It has four slots to get your knives cutting smoothly again and can handle both Japanese and Western knives. It held knives “securely” and provided an even sharpening. Even better news? It’s 43% off.

OXO Brew Conical Burr Coffee Grinder

We love this OXO brew conical burr coffee grinder for its sleek design, many customizable settings, and budget-friendliness. Aside from looking chic on your counter, this stainless steel coffee grinder has over 15+ grind settings so you can get those coffee beans ground just the way you like them. It provided us with consistent results every time and is close to 30% off right now.

Yeti Tundra Haul Cooler

Toting a cooler full of drinks and food can be tough — unless your cooler has wheels. This editor-loved wheeled Yeti Tundra Haul Cooler is just the ticket: It has a handlebar that “pulls up and makes it easy to move the wheels over rough terrain,” according to our testers, and keeps drinks cold for up to 24 hours (or more). Take it tailgating, on a boat, to the beach, or another outdoor adventure. We dubbed it one of the best coolers, and it’s on sale for $85 off in wild vine red.
