Hurry! 8 of My Mom’s Most-Loved Kitchen Tools Are Up to 40% Off at Amazon for a Few More Hours

Amazon Prime Big Deal Days ends tonight, but I know one person who already has everything she needs in the kitchen: my mom, Vicki. She earned her cooking stripes through my dad’s dislike of vegetables, my sister’s aversion to meat, and my “unreasonable expectations” vis-à-vis casual weeknight meals. But thanks to the nightly challenge that was feeding us, she turned into the creative, flexible, and intuitive cook she is today. You’re welcome, mom! 

If you want to cook like Vicki but don’t have three impossible-to-please people on hand to push the limits of your skills and patience, the next best thing is to acquire the eight essential kitchen tools that helped her along the way. Shop her favorite Vitamix blenders, OXO cutting boards, KitchenAid stand mixers, and more while they’re up to 40% off before the major sale event ends.

Nespresso Vertuo 5-Cup Coffee and Espresso Machine and Milk Frother  

Topping the list is my mom’s beloved Nespresso and Aeroccino milk frother since her day can’t start until she’s had her morning cup of coffee made with whipped black sesame almond milk. With these machines just steps away from her bedroom, she can caffeinate in style mere minutes after waking up.  

Libbey Small Glass Prep Bowl Set 

If there’s one thing my mom loves, it’s a small bowl with a matching lid to hold leftover lemon juice or minced garlic. More than 8,000 Amazon shoppers clearly echo this sentiment after giving this 8-piece set perfect ratings.   

Pyrex 14-Piece Glass Storage Containers 

My mom loves this 14-piece Pyrex storage container set with equal fervor. The containers allow her to prep ingredients, cook meals, and store leftovers without dirtying other dishes, and they’re dishwasher-safe to boot.     

KitchenAid 13-Cup Food Processor

With Rosh Hashanah comes my mom’s homemade apricot strudel, and with her homemade apricot strudel comes her trusty food processor. This Breville model is an updated version of the one she’s been using for the past 20 years, and it has the bells and whistles to match. Slice, chop, shred, knead, and process up to 16 cups of food at a time for $200 less through tonight.  

Vitamix 5200 64-Ounce Blender

We’re a smoothie family with a deep appreciation of Vitamix blenders. The 5200 series has 10 speed settings, a powerful motor, and razor-sharp blades that can tackle the toughest frozen fruit.   

OXO Good Grips 2-Piece Plastic Cutting Board Set 

The only thing better than one great cutting board is two great cutting boards. They’re loved by my mom, myself, and Food & Wine testers alike for their dishwasher-safe construction and varied sizes. Shop the set while it’s only $20 during Amazon’s October Prime Day event.     

KitchenAid Artisan Series 5-Quart Tilt Head Stand Mixer 

I always come home to a freshly baked treat when visiting my parents in Denver. Whether it’s a chocolate chip banana muffin or my great-grandma’s famous chocolate Swiss roll with its signature coffee-chocolate frosting, it was undoubtedly made in the KitchenAid stand mixer my mom has owned for decades. It’s an appliance that’s built to last.   

GreenPan 8-Inch Frying Pan Skillet 

When my mom switched to an induction stove last year, she also had to upgrade her pots and pans. She chose GreenPan’s Magneto line, which is compatible with all cooktops and utilizes the same nonstick, nontoxic technology that made the brand famous. Shop her favorite 8-inch skillet while it’s $13 off for Amazon Prime Big Deal Days. 

I’ll offer you the same advice my mom always gave me: Don’t procrastinate. Now is the time to add her favorite kitchen tools to your cart because Amazon’s October Prime Day ends tonight. They won’t be up to 40% off for much longer.
