15 Gift Ideas From Our Kitchen Pro on Sale for Prime Day

Stainless steel cookware is my go-to, but if I'm making breakfast or something super quick, I love using this little 8-inch pan. It's small, with a wide surface area, heats quickly, and is the easiest to clean thanks to its nonstick surface.

I'm a fan of sets, so I like having the 10-inch for when I'm cooking for my friends and family. The nonstick coating is smooth and looks brand new, compared to when I first used it last year.

I never seem to have enough food storage containers. This plastic set from Rubbermaid includes our top-tested, take-on-the-go lunch size (3.2 cups) as well as extras that can be used for snacks. The middle sizes double as great salad containers, and the larger ones are perfect for your pantry.

If this assortment doesn't suit you, Rubbermaid offers a variety of other sets, such as this five-container set, which also appears to be on sale for Prime Day.

The lids seal very well and make the containers leakproof—we've tested them in the Lab and in real, on-the-go scenarios.

I prefer glass containers to store and heat my leftovers, and I love the variety of sizes in this set. They're just as easy to use and leakproof as their plastic counterparts, but just a little more versatile since you can pop them in the oven up to 450ºF.

I use the largest container all the time—it's great for bringing food to parties or just storing in your fridge. The small sizes are great, too, and the medium sizes are perfect for lunch and meal prepping.

Our whole Lab loves these food storage containers. They're made of sturdy silicone and are portioned into cups, so you can store extra broth or rice, for example, freeze them, and pop out what you need when you need it.

The lids allow you to stack them and help keep your ingredients fresh. They come in a variety of sizes, but these are the ones currently on sale for Prime Day.

Nespresso rarely goes on sale, and this Prime Day deal is worth it. I used this machine daily at home for years. It uses Nespresso's Vertuo capsules to make espresso, double espresso, coffee, ristretto, and more with just a push of a button. Each capsule has consistently delivered a hot, rich, and frothy cup, regardless of the size of the drink you make. I love the ease of it (no emptying grounds, etc.) and consistency. Plus, you can recycle the used capsules in some states or return them to Nespresso.

This new, premium, and compact espresso maker scored high in our Lab tests. It produces rich espresso with a silky crema and includes a built-in milk frother. Every tester who tried it at home for our Kitchen Gear Awards enjoyed using it and praised its high-quality features. It costs significantly less than other espresso makers, which can easily cost $500 or more.

This personal blender packs a lot of power—and it comes with four blending cups that you can take on the go. (Even though I live on my own, this is huge for me because my cups always seem to be in the dishwasher.)

It's one of our top-tested personal blenders; it made smooth smoothies and creamy frozen margaritas in our Lab tests. It also has a highly responsive control panel.

This new SodaStream is one of my favorites from the brand. It's slim, compact, design-forward, and doesn't need to be plugged in. It comes with two CO2 cartridges and three Bubbly drop flavors. It operates by pressing the button on the head, allowing you to control the level of fizziness in your water. Our Lab analyst compared the small bubbles to those found in premium sparkling mineral water.

If you've been thinking of getting an Instant Pot (or replacing your old one), here's your excuse: it's almost half off!

This one offers basic, easy-to-use controls and a stainless steel pot. It's perfect for soup season (and rushing to make dinner season).

Although I use my dishwasher frequently, I also hand-wash many kitchen items, such as my knives and nonstick pans. This is one of the only drying racks I've ever used, and I didn't want to throw it out immediately. It's compact (perfect for my apartment) and sturdy with strong prongs that support all sorts of my drying needs. My favorite feature is the spout that runs directly into my sink, eliminating the worry of it making a mess like other drying racks.

I've used this specific one for at least two years, and none of the pieces have ever broken, molded, or rusted on me.

While this may not seem like a kitchen item, it is one of the best products I've tested this year. I'm constantly lugging food and gear back and forth, and this flexible bag on wheels makes it easier. Pack it with all your groceries, stand it up in your car, and off you go.

Ka'Chava doesn't go on sale often, so I'm stocking up this Prime Day. I've been drinking this shake for breakfast every morning after my workout for months now. It's creamy and doesn't have an artificial taste. It contains 25 grams of protein per serving and is packed with real fruits and vegetables. It comes in other flavors, such as vanilla and strawberry, which I also really like. I drink it plain with water, and it tastes great as a frozen dessert when used to make protein ice cream.

I stocked up on these electrolytes last Prime Day and didn't regret it one bit. They can be pricey when bought individually, so I love having them on hand. I pack them when I travel or need an extra hydration boost—they sometimes make drinking water more of a treat for me. They're not overpowering, and they come in a variety of flavors. I especially like that they don't taste like fake sugar.
