With Ninja's Foodi FlexBasket, you don't have to choose between a one-basket or two-basket air fryer. Thanks to the removable divider, you can cook two small dishes on different settings or one large 7-quart dish on the same setting. One of the best air fryers we've tested, he crisped up his chicken wings and hand-cut fries to perfection. I also like that the inside is non-stick and easy to clean. Get $50 off when you can.

Ninja Foodi Digital Air Fry Oven

This two-in-one appliance air fryer toaster oven combo saves you counter space and money. When you factor in a 32% Memorial Day discount, you can save even more. This Ninja earned the title of best compact option in our tests thanks to its powerful heating element and efficient cooking. In addition to air frying and toasting, you can bake, roast, broil, reheat, warm, proof, slow cook, and dehydrate, all in a relatively small footprint. It measures approximately 15 inches wide, 7.56 inches high, and 19.72 inches deep.

OXO Brew Conical Burr Coffee Grinder

If you're a coffee lover, it's time to invest in a good coffee grinder. This OXO coffee grinder is as good as the more expensive tools we tested, with consistent results and his 15 different settings for a variety of coffees and brewing methods. Conical blades, our favorite blade style, also minimize heat (good for aroma and flavor) and noise. Get it now for 20% off.

Meter Block

The Meater stands out for its precise measurements and streamlined wire-free design. That's because, despite their name, most wireless meat thermometer probes are actually connected to a wire. However, the Meater connects to the app via his Bluetooth or WiFi and charges via a battery inside a sleek wooden block, which adds to the visual appeal. This 4-piece set of his is a particularly rare 20% off, but we think it's the perfect gift for the gadget-loving cook.

Cuisinart Stainless Steel Indoor Pizza Oven CPZ-120

We recently tested this indoor pizza oven and loved how easy it was to use, baking beautiful Neapolitan-style pies in less than 5 minutes. So when I found it for half price, I instinctively added it to my cart right away. If you prefer New York, Detroit, or Sicilian pies, your oven has settings for these pies, as well as thin-crust pizza, gluten-free pizza, focaccia, and calzone. The temperature range is 350-700°F, so don't hesitate to use it for frittatas or high-temperature baking.

traeger pro 575 grill

Traeger, the inventor of the pellet grill, has spent decades perfecting grills for outdoor cooks of all levels. If you're new to the brand, Pro Series grills like the 575 are a great starting point for mid-priced and sized grills. In fact, we recommend the 575 as the perfect his Traeger grill for the average person. Especially when he's on $200 off. The cooking space is 780 square inches, which is the equivalent of 6 rib racks or 6 whole chickens. The temperature range is up to 500°F for even heating, fast temperature recovery, and consistent results, including smoky wings with balanced flavor.

Weber Genesis E-325s 3-Burner Gas Grill

After extensive testing of 13 gas grills on the market, this three-burner from Weber came out on top. And it's $200 cheaper, too! Designed to make grilling even more convenient, it has a side table for food prep, an expandable top grate, and an on-grate thermometer. With 787 square inches of grilling area, you can cook 20 burgers at once. Just turn up the heat and you'll get a nice sear.

Powdan professional chef knife

The Paudin Pro Chef's Knife is an excellent value when compared to other chef's knives, and its well-balanced feel and ability to smoothly slice through tricky vegetables like squash make it one of our top picks. Though it's not a full tang knife, we loved the smooth, comfortable feel of the wooden handle. You can get it for just $25 with a coupon, so it's a great deal. The blade may not last as long as more expensive knives, but sharpening it will make it last longer.

Cafe Specialty Drip Coffee Maker

We test coffee makers all year round, so it's not easy to rise to the top. But this sophisticated coffee machine surpasses other popular brands as the best choice for drip coffee, and it's currently $100 off. With controls for coffee strength and temperature, as well as the option to operate via Wi-Fi or voice commands, customizing your cup (or pot) is easy. It's also one of the best-looking coffee makers we've tested, so you'll actually want to give it the best countertop space.

vitamix 5200 blender

After testing against other Vitamix blenders, we rated the 5200 as the best professional blender. At $100 off, it's also the best deal I've found on Vitamix for Memorial Day. Grind whole fruits, vegetables, and grains in seconds using two hardened stainless steel blades and 1380 watts of power. During my testing, it was especially useful for making nut butters and smoothies. In the fall, you can also use it to make hot soups. With a capacity of 64 fluid ounces (8 cups), it's perfect for families and make-ahead meals.

Ninja Creami Ice Cream Maker

I've had the Ninja Creami for three years now and it's one of my favorite kitchen appliances. It's also the best ice cream maker we've tested. With Ninja's speed, he can make ice cream, frozen yogurt, sorbet, and cold drinks in minutes. It's as easy as pressing a preset button. All parts are dishwasher safe, so it's easy to clean, so I use it often. Get 14% off on Memorial Day and enjoy cold treats all summer long.

Anova Culinary Precision Vacuum Sealer Pro

Using a vacuum sealer helps keep food fresher for longer, saving you money in the long run. This one from Anova was the best performer in our tests, so we're excited to see it marked down by 33%. We found it easy to use right out of the box. It has settings for sealing a variety of foods, from meats to marinated vegetables to dried fruit. You can even seal lids on canning jars and reseal wine bottles. Despite its compact shape, it can store a bag cutter and a roll of storage bags.
