In our search through early Memorial Day deals, we found a Le Creuset enameled cast iron chef’s oven that was over 50% off, which is incredible, considering the brand’s legendary reputation for durable, stylish cookware that lasts for generations. In this case, a 7.5-quart, enamel-lined cast iron pot (with a rare glass lid!) is going to offer an ideal, evenly-heating environment for soups, stews, braises, stir-fry, and more.

The sign of a great cook is knowing when to outsource a task to a capable appliance. It’s important to surround yourself with high-quality gear — and the Amazon Outlet is definitely a great place to look. The GE tilt-head electric stand mixer is an essential, 350-watt beast for anybody looking to make dough, and it’s $100 off right now. Between its easy-tilting head design, seven speed settings, and a 5.3-quart bowl, you should be able to mix pretty much anything you’d want to. Plus, people say it’s super attractive — one customer wrote,“This mixer does it all and looks great sitting on my counter.”

Going to the cafe for a latte can be fun and satisfying, but what’s really awesome is having the power to whip up a great latte at home, grabbing a book (or pulling up Wordle), and getting back in bed. But can you really put a price on such a life of luxury? Yes, the price is $160, if you’re making the smart choice to pick up a Nespresso Vertuo Next coffee and espresso machine before Memorial Day. This small-but-mighty appliance lets you brew multiple sizes of coffee, as well as single and double espressos. Best of all, you can even froth your own milk, if you’re feeling like a silky latte.

Best Amazon Kitchen Tool and Gadget Deals

Amazon has pretty much everything you could need to make your kitchen into a more efficient workspace, and cruising through its digital aisles, we found a ton of things we didn’t even know we needed. Sure, you may have a nice grill, but are you suited to get your food prepped in style? Zwilling’s 8-inch chef’s knife is $100 off right now. And when you’re ready to actually cook your bounty, you might be glad to have the OXO Good Grips Grilling Set, also on sale. Lodge pan scrapers make nearly all cleaning tasks easier, and they’re currently on sale for $5. Caramelized meat sticking to the bottom of your pan? Got some dried veggie pulp on your cutting board? Just need to scrape down the ol’ kitchen sink? These do-it-all tools are the secret weapon of anybody who soars at keeping the dishes clear and the kitchen spotless.

Or, ensure future grill victories with OXO’s grilling set, which includes a stainless steel turner (the brand’s fancy word for spatula), scalloped tongs, and a frankly genius tool rest, so you aren’t precariously resting your tools on the edge of the grill (you know you do it). At a very nice $24, this set almost certainly costs less than the price of one meal at the mediocre barbecue joint your friend always drags you to.

And with a full liter of space, you’ll have room to pack a meal, your favorite condiment, and maybe even a little dessert.

We get it: A storage container set is not the most exciting thing you can buy in a Memorial Day sale. But next time you have some leftover beans, half an onion, or some chili you want to send a friend home with, you’ll be happy you snagged this Lock and Lock set, which is almost 30% off. If you cook a lot, you can never have too many storage containers for food, and this small investment will more than pay off over time. In fact, one customer wrote, “My original Lock and Locks are 20 years old and still going strong.”
