Most notable is the consistently best-selling Instant Pot multicooker, which made a splash at Prime Day in 2016 and has been a mainstay of Prime Day every year since.

The Instant Pot changed the way people cook and added to the list of hot Prime Day kitchen items, like air fryers and coffee makers. But as we explained in our guide to responsible Amazon Prime Day shopping, navigating this mega shopping event as a conscious consumer can feel like a bit of a minefield, especially when it comes to small kitchen appliances. Are the plastic parts safe? Does this tiny kitchen gadget actually use energy? There are legitimate concerns.

Air Fryer Multicooker Sale — Up to 50% Off
Air fryers are expected to be top performers on Amazon Prime Day 2024, as they have been in the past. Because air fryers use concentrated heat and a small cooking space to cook food faster, they typically consume less energy compared to traditional ovens. They also require little to no oil, resulting in less cooking oil waste. These little powerhouses also make food healthier. Air frying can reduce the fat content of fried foods by up to 75% while retaining more nutrients compared to traditional frying. Air frying can also prevent the formation of carcinogens often associated with traditional frying.
These air fryers don't have plastic or nonstick coatings like Teflon on the parts that come into contact with food — which can release toxic fumes at high temperatures or transfer toxins to food if scratched — and instead use ceramic or stainless steel food surfaces.

Coffee Maker Deals – Up to 40% Off
Many coffee makers use plastic parts that contain BPA (bisphenol A) and phthalates, chemicals known to be endocrine disruptors and carcinogens that can leach into your coffee. Some coffee makers with warming plates or internal parts use non-stick coatings such as Teflon (PTFE). If these coatings are scratched or overheated, they can release toxic fumes. And unfortunately, one of the best-selling coffee makers on Prime Day was Keurig, which uses disposable coffee pods.
Luckily, there are plenty of coffee makers out there that don't use disposable pods and are made from plastic-free materials like stainless steel, glass, ceramic, and porcelain. Amazon is running early Prime Day sales on French presses, drip coffee makers with insulated carafes and auto shutoff for energy efficiency, and sustainably made cold brewers.
