Check below for some of the featured deals already announced and [reveal a running list of deals here]( [Our Favorite Stainless Steel Fry Pans]( winner HIGHLY RECOMMENDED All-Clad Stainless Steel Fry Pan Set $160.99 (-30%) [buy now]( This two-piece set includes our winning 10-inch and 12-inch stainless-steel skillets. Both have a clean design that includes no unnecessary frills and a steel handle that stays cool on the stovetop and won’t rotate in your hand. The pans resisted warping and passed abuse testing with flying colors. Their three layers of cladding, with aluminum sandwiched by steel, encourage deep, uniform browning. [How we tested it →]( [Our Favorite Small Stand Mixer]( best small mixer RECOMMENDED KitchenAid Artisan Mini 3.5 Quart Stand Mixer $259.99 (-32%) [buy now]( This mixer flawlessly completed everything from the most basic of tasks (such as whipping two egg whites) to making enough frosting for a three-layer cake. The speed controls and tilt-head lever were straightforward and simple to operate, and the bowl and attachments were easy to put on and take off. We wish the bowl had a handle and found that the larger 4.5 quart KitchenAid mixer was better at handling sticky, high-hydration pizza dough; however, if you want a smaller machine, this is a great option. [How we tested it →]( [One of Our Favorite Nonstick Rimmed Baking Sheets]( co-winner HIGHLY RECOMMENDED USA Pan Half Sheet Baking Pan $16.54 (-54%) [buy now]( The textured surface of this PTFE-free nonstick pan impressed us by producing evenly baked cookies, and its standard size ensured that there was enough space for Parmesan cauliflower to brown nicely. Sticky caramel was no match for the nonstick coating; the caramel-coated popcorn slid off the pan easily. This pan was easy to hand-wash because its coating prevented food from sticking. [How we tested it →]( [Our Favorite Soda Maker]( winner BEST FOR MOST PEOPLE SodaStream Terra Sparkling Water Maker $109.99 (-31%) [buy now]( It’s easy to use this model: Simply press the large button on the top of the machine until you’ve obtained your desired level of carbonation. The plastic water bottles connect to the machine easily and are dishwasher-safe. The machine uses SodaStream’s new “quick connect” CO2 canisters, which slide into the back of the machine and lock into place when you pull down a plastic handle. Like other models from SodaStream, it takes up fairly little counter space and is sturdy. [How we tested it →]( [Our Highly Recommended Blender]( HIGHLY RECOMMENDED Braun TriForce Power Blender $174.95 (-30%) [buy now]( This blender did a great job with every task, from mayonnaise to almond butter. Smoothies were a tad frothy thanks to this model’s wide jar but otherwise more than acceptable. And it’s relatively quiet, which we appreciated. We liked its clear, well-labeled digital interface and speed dial. Our one quibble? The touchscreen buttons were overly sensitive, making it easy to accidentally activate a setting we didn’t want if we bumped one with our hand during use. [How we tested it →]( [Our Favorite Storage Containers]( WINNER HIGHLY RECOMMENDED Rubbermaid Brilliance Food Storage Container Set $69.99 (-36%) [buy now]( These containers kept liquids contained and had strong, sturdy latches that withstood repeated use. We tested the 1.3 cup and 3.2 cup and found them fantastic for packing lunches for one. If you’re packing a salad for work, the 4.7 cup container should do the trick. The 9.6 cup container is great for storage but a bit too large for packing into a lunch box or storing smaller amounts of grains, dressings, or cooked chicken. The 22-piece set includes these [four container sizes]( in addition to 0.5 cup containers which were not part of our testing.

If luck sends a great deal your way, you’ll be ready to go with a shopping list of reliable tools and appliances. [Our Favorite Air Fryer]( winner HIGHLY RECOMMENDED Instant Vortex Plus 6-Quart Air Fryer [buy now]( Our winning air fryer was the first model we tested that delivered on its promise to offer an extra-large capacity. Though it’s only 12 inches tall, we were even able to cook a whole 4-pound chicken in it. [How we tested it →]( [Our Favorite Toaster Oven]( winner HIGHLY RECOMMENDED Breville Smart Oven [buy now]( Our previous winner once again aced all our tests, producing evenly baked cookies; golden brown pizza and tuna melts; tender-crisp asparagus spears; and a bronzed, crisp-skinned chicken. Its settings are intuitive, and it's programmable, so you can set it to remember your preferences—no fiddling with the dials. [How we tested it →]( [Our Favorite Small Saucepan]( Winner SMALL SAUCEPAN All-Clad Stainless 3-Qt Sauce Pan [buy now]( This small saucepan performed very well, earning a place in our kitchen. It cooked evenly and steadily and survived our durability tests virtually unscathed. It also cleaned up easily. Read about [more of our favorite features →]( [Our Recommended Sous Vide Machine]( RECOMMENDED Anova Precision Cooker 3.0 [buy now]( It heated water quickly and usually quite accurately, and it attached to different vessels easily. The time and temperature can be set manually, on the machine itself, or using an app. However, it has room for improvement.
