I cook every day, and these were my favorite Prime Day deals:

Prime Day is finally here, which is great news for anyone who has been holding off on buying new kitchen gadgets all year in hopes of finding some great deals once summer arrives. Over the past few days, I've been purposefully wandering the Amazon aisles, looking for products I like and actually want. The amount of sales is staggering, to say the least.

Among the ton of sales that popped up on Prime Day this year were 43% off my trusty bread knife, the amazing Staub frying pan that I rely on for my indoor grill, a Breville pizza oven that I adore, and a renowned chef's knife that I've been wanting to try. So here's a small rundown of my favorite Prime Day sales (so far).

Staub Cast Iron Square Grill Pan

I love this grill pan—it's the star of so many of the dishes I love to make, from mushroom tacos and baba ghanoush to hot dogs and burgers. With its enameled bottom and well-placed grates, food rarely sticks (and if it does, it's easy to clean).

Mercer Chef's Bread Knife

Mercer Culinary's bread knives are legendary and I've been using them to slice bread for years. They cut everything from sourdough and baguettes to tomatoes, potatoes and cakes. I was shocked to see that they're currently offering a whopping 43% off, but seriously, if you're a bread lover, you should take advantage of this sale.

I've hosted and attended hundreds (if not thousands) of pizza parties, but one of the most memorable ones I've ever had at someone's house was one that used this smart pizza oven from Breville. With a sleek device that heats up to 750ºF and cooks pizza in a minute or two, my friend churned out pie after pie that beat most restaurant pizzas I've ever been to. Currently 20% off.

Bellemain 5 Quart Metal Colander

Everyone needs a really good colander, and this is a really good one (and it's on sale for 27% off). One reviewer said, “I love this colander. It's very well made, sturdy, and the perfect size. The holes are small enough that food doesn't fall through, but large enough to wash fruits and veggies.”
