Yeti Roadie 48 Wheeled Cooler

Yeti’s Roadie wheeled cooler has been on my wish list for some time, and now that it’s $60 off, I might have to commit. As someone whose arm strength is a bit lacking, I like that this cooler would allow me to wheel my food and drinks. After testing 11 top-selling coolers, it came out as our top pick thanks to its excellent temperature retention and generous capacity that can keep up to 76 cans cold for days.

Yeti Tundra 45 Cooler

The classic Tundra 45 offers the same thick-walled insulation as other Yeti coolers and can retain cold temperatures for up to 60 hours. While it offers less storage capacity (45 quarts), I like that its compact size makes it ideal for shorter excursions.

Yeti Hopper Flip 18 Portable Soft Cooler

My no-name brand soft cooler that’s held on for years is finally showing some wear and tear, so I’m considering this Yeti Hopper Flip that aced all our soft cooler tests. It survived being pushed out the back of a truck and fits up to 18 cans alongside packed ice. Light and comfortable to carry, it’s ideal for picnics, beach days, or backyard hangouts.

Breville Barista Express Impress Espresso Machine

Breville makes several of our favorite espresso machines, but the Barista Express Impress certainly stands out as a user-friendly option for beginners and enthusiasts alike. I don’t yet own a home espresso machine, so I’ve been eyeing this one from our review ever since we started recommending it over four years ago. It has an integrated grinder, tamping lever, and steam wand, making the espresso-pulling process as straightforward as possible for anyone in need of a cappuccino.

Yeti Rambler Tumbler Mug with Straw Lid

While my cupboard has a fair share of Yeti drinkware, from a stackable coffee mug to an insulated water bottle, I’m missing a Rambler travel mug with a straw lid. It scored high marks during our tumbler tests thanks to its impeccable insulation and compatibility with universal car cup holders. Right now, it’s on sale for $36.

Vitamix 5200 Blender

I can’t emphasize enough how essential a robust blender is in the kitchen. For all my bisques, sauces, and smoothies, I use a countertop blender similar to our tested favorite, the Vitamix 5200. The 5200 thoroughly blends fibrous ingredients into creamy purées, and its motor can handle blending hot soups at high speeds for minutes at a time. It’s on sale for $150 off.

Le Creuset Enameled Cast Iron 5.5-Quart Dutch Oven

Sales are also a great time to shop for gifts. With a few spring and summer weddings coming up this year, I’m eyeing our favorite Le Creuset Dutch oven to potentially give to a good friend. It’s an heirloom-quality piece of cookware that’ll last through generations of cooking. The sturdy cast iron sears foods to a golden brown, and the enamel interior resists staining. It’s rarely under $300, so now’s the time to grab one.

Lodge Reversible Griddle

I’m pretty outspoken about my love for Lodge’s reversible griddle, which doubles as a grill when flipped. It’s my go-to for making large batches of pancakes and English muffins or for grilling vegetable skewers indoors. Plus, it’s only $35.

OXO Brew Conical Burr Coffee Grinder

This is the most affordable burr grinder we tested that still delivers excellent grind quality. It’s now even cheaper at $72 and well worth grabbing if you’ve been grinding your coffee with a spice mill. Its dial control is easy to read and won’t take up much space on your counter.

KitchenAid Artisan Series 5-Quart Tilt-Head Stand Mixer

At $100 off, this KitchenAid stand mixer is our recommended model for everyday casual bakers. It’s able to cream butter, whip egg whites, and even knead pizza dough without struggling. I’ve had mine for over five years, and it’s still kneading brioche dough like a champ.

Yosukata Carbon Steel Wok Pan

For less than $60, this carbon steel wok comes pre-seasoned and ready to bring the wok hei to your stir-fried noodles. Its heat-responsive, slick surface releases eggs without a problem, and the wooden handle stays cool throughout cooking.

Cuisinart 14-Cup Food Processor

This food processor efficiently slices vegetables, grates cheese, and kneads dough. I’ve used my own Cuisinart to make heaps of breadcrumbs for eggplant katsu or shredded carrots for carrot cake. The two-button controls allow me to easily switch between pulsing and continuous processing. The generous 14-cup capacity ensures I can make a large batch of anything I want.

Rubbermaid Brilliance Food Storage Containers, Set of 5

I almost always reach for my Rubbermaid Brilliance food containers first when I’m putting away leftovers, which tells me I should grab this set of five containers now that they’re on sale for Presidents Day. The clear plastic doesn’t take on odors or smells, even if I store curry in them. During our tests, they proved themselves to be truly airtight, not leaking even once.

Cuckoo Micom 6-Cup Rice Cooker

My rice cooker is called into action multiple times a week to make fluffy rice in the background while I work on a stir-fry or curry. This similar Cuckoo rice cooker is one of our favorites thanks to its many programmable settings: white rice, brown rice, mixed rice, porridge, and steam. 

Microplane Premium Classic Series Zester

My Microplane zester is an undersung hero in my kitchen. It barely takes up any space in the drawer, yet it can add a boost of flavor to any dish by producing delicate curls of parmesan or light flakes of lemon zest. My grater from Microplane happens to be our tested favorite, too. It cleans up quickly, and the blade still hasn’t dulled after many years of use.

Made In Cookware 3-Piece Stainless Steel Skillet Set

I only own a Made In saucepan, but this sale on the brand’s three-piece stainless steel skillet set has me doing a double take. I’ve loved using the saucepan thanks to its even heating across the cooking surface and comfortable handle, and our skillet tests showed that the frying pans offer the same features. 

Peugeot Paris u'Select Manual Pepper Mill

This pepper mill efficiently grinds peppercorns and is well-designed enough to stay out on the dining table. The curved wooden body offers a stable grip while grinding, and the consistent grind ensures no stray chunks of peppercorn land in your foods. During our tests, its clearly marked size settings and its speedy grinding made it a top pick.
