Amazon Prime Day Ends Tonight. Here Are 100+ of The Best Deals We’ve Found.
OXO Good Grips Smooth Potato Masher — Top Pick
Amazon deal price: $11 ; street price: $15
What we like: Our top potato masher pick. Made the best rustic yet fluffy mashed potatoes. Cuts into potatoes and other foods faster and more easily than the competition. Dishwasher safe and easy to clean. Doesn’t take up a lot of space.
Other things to know: Some Amazon reviewers have complained in the past that the short handle causes their knuckles to drag through the mash. Won’t fit in a utensil crock.

Bertolli Extra Virgin Olive Oil Rich Taste — Top Pick
Amazon deal price: $7 (16.9 ounces); street price: $10
What we like: Our top robust and inexpensive olive oil pick you can buy at a store. Had one of the most pronounced grassy and peppery notes of any olive oil we tried. Also one of the more complex that we tried. Felt fatty and buttery in the mouth and would be a great oil to eat with bread.
Other things to know: A global blend, which means the olives are sourced from all over the world. Sold in plastic bottles, so it’s best to finish your bottle within three months to avoid any potential degradation caused by the plastic. Deal for a 16.9 ounce bottle.

Hoopoton Store Magnetic Spice Rack (Set of Two) — Top Pick
Amazon deal price: $19 (deal on black); street price: $22
What we like: Our pick for strong, magnetic spice shelves for small-kitchen organization. They create space on the side of a fridge for spices, bottles, or pepper mills. Lip extends around the entire perimeter of each shelf, keeping pepper mill dust contained. Impressively strong magnets.
Other things to know: Big enough to hold eight standard spice jars per rack. Set of two. When our shelves arrived, the metal arms were bent slightly downward, but bending them back in shape was easy. Deal price available in black.

Bentgo MicroSteel Lunch Box — Top Pick
Amazon deal price: $24 (deal on rose gold); street price: $30
What we like: Our top pick for a streamlined stainless steel bento box. Leakproof, plastic-free, and fits neatly into a bag or backpack. Microwave-safe for up to 10 minutes. Easy to clean. Comes with a removable silicone divider. Big enough to fit a full meal.
Other things to know: Wide and shallow. Just one tier. Two-year warranty. Exterior coating on the colored versions may peel over time, especially with repeated dishwasher washing. Requires some hand-washing.

Microplane Premium Classic Series Zester — Also Great
Amazon deal price: $15 ; street price: $18
What we like: Our grater pick for zesting. Has sharp teeth and a narrower face so you reach every nook and cranny on a lemon or a cheese rind. The non-slip rubber handle is more comfortable to hold than those of heavier metal graters we tried.
Other things to know: Best suited for smaller items like nutmeg, garlic, or citrus. We’ve read a handful of reviews saying that the plastic handle may break off, but several Wirecutter staffers have owned this tool for years without problems. Deal available in multiple colors including black, baby blue, cinnamon, dusty rose, and more.

Susteas Rotary Cheese Grater — Best For…
Amazon deal price: $26 ; street price: $32
What we like: Our pick for the best grater for speedy grating. Efficient shredder. Can blitz through lots of food, such as potatoes, carrots, and cheese, with ease. Comes with a single drum frame with swappable blade panels in five sizes.
Other things to know: Stuck more securely to our counter than any other rotary grater we tested. Blades store away neatly in a handy holder when not in use. Panels can be fussy. Some settings are misleading. Tough to clean without a dishwasher. Setup not the most accessible.

Cuisinart CISB-275 Stainless Steel Smashed Burger Press — Staff Pick
Amazon deal price: $13 ; street price: $18
What we like: A staff pick for the best grill press. Made of heavy-duty stainless steel, with a 6-inch flat surface. Especially easy to clean. You can evenly smash foods without overexerting yourself. Fixed wooden handle sits a comfortable 2.5 inches away from the heat source.
Other things to know: Also makes a great, inexpensive gift. The handle’s sheer gloss coating gets slightly slippery as sizzling oil splatters onto its surface. Round shape of the press might not work best for all cooking scenarios. Hand-wash with water and mild soap (avoid bleach).

Gripstic Bag Clips (Assorted Pack of 12) — Staff Pick
Amazon deal price: $19 (assorted, pack of 12); street price: $24
What we like: A durable set of assorted chip clips we like. Reusable clips seal bags to keep food fresh for days—or even weeks—on end. Each clip is essentially a stick-like pole encapsulated in another stick-like pole that creates a seal when you fold a bag between the two. Small to store. Works on more than just chip bags.
Other things to know: Dishwasher- and freezer-safe. There’s a small learning curve using these clips for the first time, but otherwise it’s nearly always easy. Deal is for a 12-pack in assorted sizes from 5 to 13 inches, to fit just about any bag. Just $1 shy of the deal we saw during Black Friday.

Cobram Estate California Select Extra Virgin Olive Oil — Top Pick
Amazon deal price: $10 (with clipped on-page coupon, 375 mL); street price: $13
What we like: Our top mild but fresh olive oil pick you can buy at the store. We enjoyed its woody, grassy flavor and punchy, peppery finish. Overall we found it to be a subtle, well-balanced oil, bordering on elegant. It was the only brand of oil we tried with bottles that have built-in pour spouts that pop up when you unscrew the cap.
Other things to know: Had a looser, more silky consistency than other oils we tried. Clip the on-page coupon. Deal for the 375 mL bottle.

Cosori Pro LE Air Fryer — Worth Considering
Amazon deal price: $80 (deal on gray); street price: $85
What we like: Another air fryer worth considering if you want a lighter basket. Large, 5-quart square basket weighs around 2 pounds when empty, the lightest of any full-size air fryer we tested. Has sleek design with an easy-to-use interface, loud “shake” reminder. Offers good performance for the price.
Other things to know: A former budget pick. Like most pod-shaped air fryers, isn’t great at cooking evenly, and the preprogrammed settings aren’t very accurate. Removable tray tends to fall out when transferring food to plate. Although the street price has risen suspiciously right before the holiday sales, overall trends have noted a drop in street price over the past year. We see this reoccurring deal price at least once a month, but it’s a fine time to pick it up if you want a gray one now.

Margaritaville Key West Frozen Concoction Maker — Staff Pick
Amazon deal price: $225 ; street price: $260
What we like: A staff-pick combination ice-shaver and blender for serving frozen drinks at home. Precise ice-shaving and blending. Large ice reservoir at the top fits about half a bag of ice at a time. Emulsifies rather than chops ice, protecting the consistency of your shaved ice.
Other things to know: Offers an automatic feature that shaves and blends but you can use the manual toggle to adjust the amount of shaved ice and blend time based on your preferences. Goofy appearance. Gigantic. Pricey.

Vitamix 5200 Blender — Top Pick
Amazon deal price: $350 ; street price: $480
What we like: Our top blender pick. Powerful motor. Wide range of speeds. Sturdy plastic jar with a grippy handle. Exceptional seven-year warranty. Automatic shutoff feature. Easy to clean.
Other things to know: Pricey. No high-powered blender could be described as quiet, but we found the Vitamix’s noise to be quieter than others. Rarely goes on sale — and sells out fast. Notably higher than deals we saw last year, but we haven’t seen it come anywhere close to the $300 deal we saw last October Prime Day.

Breville Joule Turbo Sous Vide — Upgrade Pick
Breville deal price: $200 ; street price: $250
Williams Sonoma deal price: $200 ; street price: $250
What we like: Our upgrade sous vide cooker, and one we rank among the best Google-Assistant-compatible smart devices. One of the smallest and most powerful options out there, and it works with less water. Impressively high-tech, it lets you check your food’s cooking progress or tweak temperatures through Google Assistant–integrated voice commands.
Other things to know: Lacks physical controls, but the app is polished. Recurring deal price.

KitchenAid Ribbed Soft Silicone Pot Holder Set — Also Great
Amazon deal price: $9 (deal on beige); street price: $13
What we like: Our pick for a bigger pot holder that comes in a wide range of colors. Larger and more rectangular than our top pick. The divided hand pocket gives you more control. Comes in a variety of muted, trendy colors as well as brighter options.
Other things to know: Its thicker material and large, square corners make it a little more clunky than our top-pick pot holder. However, the corners do add more surface area that can be helpful when you use the pot holder as a trivet. Lowest price is for the milkshake beige color, but the beet red and ink blue colors are also on sale for a dollar more.

OXO Silicone Sink Strainer — Staff Pick
Amazon deal price: $8 ; street price: $10
What we like: A simple yet effective kitchen-sink catchall staff pick. With a silicone basket instead of a metal one, this flexible strainer is supremely easy to clean. It’s also great at catching all kinds of kitchen gunk and preventing clogs. Stainless steel rim resists rust.
Other things to know: Holes are not as fine as those in a mesh strainer, but they’re sized just right to allow water to flow down the drain. Dishwasher-safe. Can’t work as a stopper.
