Cyber Monday Amazon Kitchen Deals 2017

Cyber Monday: the blessing that saved us all from having to wake up from Thanksgiving food comas at 6 a.m. just to rush a fleeting sale. With the shopping "holiday" fast approaching, we have our sights set on Amazon for the best cooking gadgets to grab throughout the day, so you can spend less time scrolling through the web and more time crossing people off your list. Here's our guide to scoring the biggest discounts.

① You don't have to wait until Monday to start saving—Amazon is already getting a head start with Black Friday kitchen deals that are live until November 27. Because saving money is clearly a weeklong holiday.

② Just like Prime Day, if you have an Alexa, you'll be able to get exclusive discounts before everybody else. Just ask "Alexa, what are your deals?" throughout the day.

③ Amazon tends to keep the bigger savings for its own products, so if you've been eyeing that brand-new Echo for yourself your mom, now's the time to act.

④ The largest price cuts of all—whether on Instant Pots or pricey Dutch ovens—happen via flash sales throughout the day. Keep checking the Cyber Monday and kitchen product pages to stay on top of everything.

⑤ We'll be highlighting the best kitchen deals we see throughout the day, so keep this page bookmarked for updates on your favorite cooking tools, gadgets and appliances. 

What's better than the Instant Pot? It's bigger, beefier brother that ups your pressure cooking game with an LCD and three more preset cooking programs.

Most of the material from high school physics has leaked out of our brain already, but thankfully you don't need complicated equations to know that hand-squeezing your lemon just isn't worth the payoff.

If Apple ever got into making kitchen appliances, we imagine this is what its sous-vide machine would look like: sleek, svelte and easy to use for first-timers new to the cooking technique.

It's a tad bulkier, but the Anova's sous-vide cooker gets the job done just as well as any other model, and at less than a Benjamin, it's currently one of the best deals.

We're not supposed to play favorites, but if we could rescue only one kitchen item in the event of a house fire, it'd be this jack-of-all-trades pan that lasts a lifetime.

If there's one thing Santa (and your family) won't forget, it's a batch of burnt Christmas cookies stuck to the pan. Keep a few sets of these on hand and avoid a holiday meltdown.

Once you've decided to upgrade that blunt knife set you've been using since college, spring for this all-purpose blade. It's sturdy, durable and, most importantly, stays forgivingly sharp in the hands of even the most careless of cooks.

"Will It Blend?" The answer is probably yes, but it never hurts to bring home the Lamborghini of kitchen appliances just to see for yourself.

A mixer with 325 watts and 59 touchpoints per rotation is nice and all, but here's the stat you should really care about: a five-quart capacity equivalent to nine dozen cookies or four loaves of bread.
