Amazon's October Prime Day Dates Are Here, Plus 40 Early Kitchen Deals You Can't Miss

Earlier this month, Amazon announced its second mega-sale event of the year: Prime Big Deal Days. A spinoff of Prime Day, you can expect to find steep discounts on everything kitchen related, from cookware and bakeware, to tools and food storage. And the one piece of information we were missing — the actual dates of the sale — has finally been announced. 

Prime Big Deal Days will officially kick off on October 10, and will run through October 11. Similar to this summer's Prime Day, in order to have access to every deal you'll want to sign up for a Prime account, though not all of the sales are member exclusive. 

And even though we’re still a few weeks away from the event, Amazon is already slashing prices on items that are well worth checking out, especially since we don’t know how long they’ll last. From KitchenAid mixers, to All-Clad sets to Rubbermaid containers, shop over 40 deals up to 74% off right now.

Best Cookware and Bakeware Deals 

There are some perfectfully timed cookware and bakeware deals hiding in Amazon’s deals section. From Dutch ovens, to braisers, to casserole dishes and more, there are plenty of pieces to outfit any kitchen and get it ready for fall.  

No cookware item is as fitting as this Staub mini pumpkin-shaped cocotte. It’ll fit perfectly on a Halloween tablescape, but it’ll also go well on a Thanksgiving or aptly-autumn themed table. It has a cute rounded base, with a pumpkin-stem fitted lid, and comes in matte black or orange. It’s made with ceramic, so it can go into the oven or broiler up to 572℉, making it the perfect vessel for individual desserts, soups, and other small bakes, although you could just as easily use it as a serving vessel. 

Lodge 3.6-Quart Enameled Cast Iron Covered Casserole

You’ll also find specialty cookware pieces like this Lodge braiser, which will perform its best in the cooler months, since this is the perfect piece of cookware for slow cooked proteins, casseroles, and more. It looks similar to a Dutch oven, but has a shallower, wider base that’s perfect for searing. The enameled cast iron material lends well to stovetop cooking and baking, so you’ll find plenty of ways to use it.

Best Tool and Gadget Deals 

On-sale tools and gadgets are in abundance too. Fall baking is made even easier with our favorite candy thermometer. This ThermoPro model is double-discounted, and is key for making confections like brittles, puddings and curds, meringue-based buttercreams, doughnuts, and more. You could of course also use it for proteins in a pinch. We love how fast it is at displaying temperatures, which is key when you’re trying to be precise. Plus it can attach itself right onto your pot or pan for a hands off, constant temperature gauge. 

ThermoPro Digital Candy Thermometer

And, if you plan on making any kind of batter, icing, or cookie dough, this 42% off heavy-duty Rubbermaid spatula is also on sale. Since it’s made with a strong silicone material, it can stand up to thick icings, heavy batters, and more, plus the structure will really help you scrape bowls efficiently. 

Rubbermaid Heavy-Duty Silicone Spatula

You’ll also find essentials, like this Henckels knife set on sale. It’s the perfect compact knife set, since it comes with only the key pieces you’ll need: a paring Knife, serrated utility knife, a smooth-edged utility knife, a bread knife, a chef's knife, and shears, all for 45% off.

Best Appliance Deals 

Appliances can be expensive, but they’re nearly worth their weight in gold once you have them. There are so many editor-loved options on sale right now. Two of my personal favorite appliances are on sale: the KitchenAid classic Stand mixer, and this Philips air fryer. I’ve owned this KitchenAid for more than 20 years at this point, and it can still whip a meringue for 10 minutes on high without skipping a beat. The 4.5-quart capacity is just enough size for home baking, plus you’ll get all the accessories and settings you need. 

Philips Premium Airfryer XXL

This Philips air fryer is a whopping 63% off — a much steeper discount than when I bought it a year ago. It has a  4-quart capacity, so it’s a great size for a small family or for one person. The crisping technology works wonderfully on most, if not all ingredients, but I love it most for salmon, vegetables, and it’s a must-have for reheating leftovers like spring rolls, pizza, and fries. 

Vitamix Propel Series 750 Blender

You’ll also find an editor-loved Vitamix blender on sale — the Vitamix Propel 750 is a newer launch from the brand, and it’s $230 off right now. Our editor Mary Claire Legreau loved it so much that she swears she can’t go back to any other blender. It has a ton of features, like the 10-speed dial with five additional presets for smoothies, soups, and more, plus a pulsing toggle. With a 37% off sale, it’s well worth picking up.

Best Storage and Organization Deals 

It’s always refreshing to have an organized, well equipped kitchen, no matter what the time of year is. And the most basic essential every home needs is food storage containers. We love the Premier Rubbermaid container set for an all-around plastic container set, since they’re lightweight and more durable than many other options on the market. The 28-piece set is on sale right now, and is the perfect set for your fridge and your pantry. It includes 14 different containers in all sizes, from small to large, plus their lids. During testing, we found that the tight seal on these lids really helped keep food fresh, and they never leaked, either.  

Rubbermaid Premier 28-Piece Container Set

This large container set is an especially great buy for right now, since they’re the perfect vessels for flour, sugar, oats, and other popular baking ingredients. Each container can hold  nearly 6 quarts, so there’s plenty of room for a conventional 5-pound bag of flour. You’ll get four in a set too, plus reusable labels, so you can use them for a range of ingredients. 

Vtopmart 4-Piece Tall Airtight Container Set

Another deal worth highlighting is this set of tinted mason jars from Ball — they’re 55% off just in time for you to can up homemade apple butters, preserved tomatoes, or you could even use them to store foods on your counter or in your pantry.
