Close your eyes and envision yourself effortlessly chopping vegetables, sautéing them in a shiny new pan and enjoying a home-cooked dinner, followed by some ice cream you whipped up from scratch. Who needs takeout when making food at home can be that appealing? With the right tools, prepping a meal is almost as satisfying as eating it, so ditch the dull knives and crusty cookware for these on-sale upgrades. Just like a blue-plate special, these deals won’t last forever, so strike while the (cast) iron is hot!

Amazon

Whether you know a dad who’s a grilling machine (Father’s Day is June 16!) or want your meat to come out perfectly every time, a digital kitchen thermometer is a must — and this popular pick is down to the lowest price we’ve seen. What sets this one apart is that you can pair it with your phone via an app and read the temperature that way, allowing you to focus on other tasks rather than babysitting your steak. 

$70 at Amazon

Walmart

‘Tis the season for enjoying tasty frozen treats, and this wildly popular appliance will satiate your sweet tooth in between trips to the ice cream truck. It churns out everything from ice cream and sorbet to milkshakes and more — just add your ingredients, freeze overnight, press a button and ta-da! Plus, you’ll be able to customize your creation with your favorite mix-ins. This is just about as low as we’ve seen the sale price go.

HexClad

Gordon Ramsay approves of this brand, and you know how particular the celebrity chef is. The pans’ hybrid construction combines the best qualities of stainless steel, cast iron and nonstick for a one-of-a-kind product that, according to Ramsay, “is highly versatile and cooks exceptionally well.” They’re made of aluminum sandwiched between stainless steel for expert heat conduction and distribution, and their nonstick interiors make them a breeze to clean. Plus, the signature hexagonal etching helps encourage browning. With this starter set, you’ll get the 12-inch, 10-inch and 8-inch Hybrid pans, plus lids for each. You’ll also get the 7-inch Hybrid pan as a free gift with your purchase.

If these deals on sleep essentials make you yawn, we’d like to think we’re doing something right. After all, how could you not feel warm and fuzzy while imagining yourself snoozing on a supportive mattress, your body engulfed in a plush comforter?

Amazon

Hot sleepers, rejoice: Over 129,000 shoppers rave about these wrinkle-resistant cooling sheets, which are made from breathable bamboo for less stifling snoozing.

Tuft & Needle

This hybrid mattress offers the best of both worlds by combining adaptive memory foam with supportive coils. The breathable diamond-infused foam helps keep things cool at night while the individually pocketed springs provide more stability for less motion transfer (meaning you’ll be spared from the disruptive bounce of your partners or pets in the middle of the night). Bonus: It comes with a washable top cover to keep things fresh, and it’s suitable for all sleep styles.
