Our Favorite Do-It-All Breville Countertop Oven Is $80 Off for Prime Day
is the commerce writer at Eater, and an award-winning writer with bylines in GQ, VICE, The Daily Beast, and other publications. A curious home cook with a deep love of Polish cabbage rolls, her devotion to food service journalism knows no bounds. Well, folks, the tornado of Amazon Prime Day deals is winding down, but — wait, what's that glimmering in the eye of the deals storm? Why, it's the Breville Smart Oven, aka Eater's favorite air-fryer-toaster–convection-oven combo appliance, for 20% percent off. I'd know the gentle shine of its brushed stainless steel design anywhere… The Breville Smart Oven is just one of those appliances that stays top-of-mind amongst the Eater shopping team; many of us are apartment-dwellers looking for multi-functional appliances that are worthy of our limited counter space. And when Eater contributor Charley Lanyon put five high-tech toaster ovens to the test, the Breville was a clear winner in terms of its ability to replace multiple other gadgets (and even your full-size oven). This beast is an air fryer, convection oven, toaster oven, and a dehydrator — basically a full-blown sous chef, to paraphrase Lanyon, who goes on to explain how the appliance's Element IQ system adjusts the power of its heating elements to cook food faster and more evenly. At nearly two feet in length, the Breville is big enough to take on an entire roast chicken, and considering that it could function as a 'real' oven for someone in a very small apartment, it's worthy of its girth. Is this the only toaster oven that could rock your world that's on sale for Prime Day? Hardly. Consider the stylish Japanese cult-fave toaster the Balmuda, which has a steam feature that's a godsend for reviving day-old pastries and stale bread. (It's 20% off right now, too.) If you love doughy toast that's crispy on the outside but so very soft on the inside, don't miss that deal, either. But it's Breville's model that took home the crown for its combination of functionality, aesthetics, and genuinely cool bells and whistles. And if you're tired of settling for 'meh' appliances that collect dust, the Breville may just be the best big little oven to blow your socks off (and perfectly crisp your chicken). The Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro is on sale at Amazon. Check out more of Eater's Amazon Prime Day coverage here.

If you were intrigued by these buys when we've covered them before, you'll be pleased to see that they're all on sale for the big Amazon bacchanal, at no less than 16% off and up to a whopping 52% off. Let's take a look. The Breville Smart Oven: 20% off We put this do-it-all device to the test against four other high-tech toaster ovens, and its versatility wowed our writer Charley Lanyon. 'This appliance is more than just a toaster oven — it's a full-fledged countertop sous chef. With its Element IQ system, multiple heating elements adjust dynamically to ensure even cooking, whether you're baking cookies, roasting a chicken, or dehydrating fruit,' he wrote. Now you can score one for $80 off. The Fullstar veggie chopper: 50% off You've seen it make pico de gallo or Italian chopped salad in seconds on TikTok. Now, take home the oddly satisfying gadget for half its usual price. This OXO bottle drying rack: 39% off It's not just for people with babies — this drying rack is perfect for glassware of all kinds, according to our contributor Patty Lee. It's just 16 bucks right now. Technivorm Moccamaster coffee machine: 45% off Not only is it one hell of a good-looking coffee machine (Gwyneth Paltrow has one in her guest house), but this mid-century-modern-inspired appliance makes 10 cups of delicious, nerd-approved coffee in one batch. This is the lowest price we've ever seen it at. The Vitamix Explorian Blender: 27% off 'Simply put, the Vitamix is the Bugatti of blenders, because the countertop appliance is one of those clout-worthy items that actually lives up to its price tag — in this instance, through horsepower and versatility,' our shopping writer Francky Knapp explains re: the popularity of Vitamix blenders. 'I have seen some of the biggest, best Vitamix blenders out there pummel even an intimidating array of ingredients to smooth perfection. They're not just great for Saratoga-toting protein smoothie buffs; they're great for making soups, pulverizing hard vegetables, and seamlessly blending chunks of ice.' When a Vitamix is on sale, we're listening. Miyabi Koh 8-inch Chef's Knife: 37% off Made of high-carbon stainless steel and laden with intricate Japanese design details and well-balanced, full-tang construction, this knife was named our best all-around chef's knife, so it's a very worthy splurge. Method Vetiver + Amber Hand Soap: 16% Off This excellent-smelling affordable hand soap punches way above its weight— if it weren't for the label, we'd think it was Le Labo. Pick up a three-pack while it's discounted. Jisulife Handheld Mini Fan: 20% off Our writer Bettina Makalintal has discovered that this rechargeable pocket-sized fan is the perfect companion to picnics and outdoor dinners in the sweaty, humid summer heat. Also great for travel — and at 20% off, it's just over $15. Schwer's SlicePro cut-resistant chainmail glove: 39% off Our senior commerce editor Hilary Pollack may love to use super-sharp Japanese knives, but she's not losing the tip of a finger (again) thanks to these hand-saving, durable mesh gloves that also have medieval-chic appeal (and are majorly on sale for Prime Day).

Save 50 bones for Prime Day and enjoy homemade salted chocolate chip cookies or late-night Totino's pizza rolls at the press of a button. Whysko Stainless Steel Mixing Bowl Set: 38% off Mixing bowls are the unsung workhorses of every home kitchen — and this set nests to save space and is made of durable, easy-to-clean stainless steel for many salads, batters, and sauces to come. Noya Adjustable Tofu Press: 31% off Our favorite tofu press for marinating is under $20 right now. If you're a vegetarian or just someone who loves eating tofu, don't underestimate how handy a tofu press can be. Novete Portable Countertop Dishwasher: 15% off Our writer Irina Groushevaia adores this little appliance, perfect for solo dwellers or couples in apartments that are dishwasher-deficient. 'I didn't realize how much mental space the mess in my kitchen was taking up until I'd had the appliance for several weeks,' Groushevaia explains. 'It's perfect for one or two people, and it can usually hold dishes and glassware from two consecutive meals in a single washing cycle. But it even handled a dinner party I'd thrown for six people.' Imarku's 8' Chef Knife: 52% off Named our best budget chef's knife, it's a bargain for being such a super-sharp, versatile blade, even at full price — let alone at more than half off. Thanks for reading, and we hope you love these kitchen tools and gadgets as much as we do (and that you get a chainmail glove and protect your fingers if you bought one of the knives).
