This under-$50 heirloom-quality Dutch oven is proof we (maybe) don't need trust funds
New York Post may be compensated and/or receive an affiliate commission if you click or buy through our links. Featured pricing is subject to change. There's something sacred about the weight of a Dutch oven. It feels ancestral, like it belongs in the hearth of a stone cottage with a soup that's been simmering for three generations. And for less than $50? The Overmont 5.5QT Enameled Cast Iron Dutch Oven is giving 'heirloom energy' without the heirloom price tag. For a legitimate enameled cast iron pot that can roast, bake, braise, and moonlight as a cauldron for whatever the concoction, it's a criminal-level steal. This is the kind of cookware that transforms you from 'occasional pasta person' to 'accidental weekend chef.' You might even start a garden. Advertisement No, it doesn't come complete with a fancy brand name. But here's the plot twist: unless you're conducting a side-by-side in a Michelin test kitchen, your pot roast doesn't care. Reviews of the Overmont Dutch oven claim that it retains heat beautifully, has that silky smooth enamel interior, and comes in at a fraction of the price of its fancy cousins. It's heavy enough to feel quality but not so heavy you'll need a spotter to move it from stove to oven. And the 5.5-quart size is that just-right middle ground — generous, but not gargantuan. Amazon The Overmont 5.5QT Enameled Cast Iron Dutch Oven is a high-performance kitchen staple with a heavy-duty cast iron core and glossy enamel coating, designed to go from stovetop to oven with ease. It features dual handles for safe lifting, a snug-fitting lid to lock in moisture and flavor, and an interior that's non-stick-adjacent without the weird coatings. Whether you're braising short ribs, baking sourdough, or making a mountain of mac and cheese, this versatile pot is up for the challenge—and the clean-up is surprisingly painless.

30% off good, handsome cookware? We don't deserve this 14-piece set
New York Post may be compensated and/or receive an affiliate commission if you click or buy through our links. Featured pricing is subject to change. I'm not one to swoon over a cookware set I haven't touched with my own two double-washed hands, but the SENSARTE 14-Piece Ceramic Cookware Set has me fighting the urge to 'add to cart,' especially since it's 30% off right now on Amazon. As a part-time private chef (and full-time cookware snob), I've cooked with enough high-maintenance pots to know what makes a good pan worth keeping. And when I see a full set that's non-toxic, nonstick, and doesn't look like it belongs in a college dorm kitchen, I pay attention. Let's start with the obvious: this 14-piece lineup is stupidly comprehensive. You get three frying pans, two saucepans, a saute pan, a stockpot/Dutch oven, and four glass lids, plus silicone utensils that won't scratch the surface or make you feel like you're cooking with a Barbie spatula. But it's the ceramic coating that's doing all the heavy lifting. Unlike some shady 'nonstick' options that peel like a sunburn after a few weeks, ceramic is naturally slick and safe — free from PFAS, PFOA, lead, and other chemicals I'd rather not ingest with my eggs. Amazon The SENSARTE 14-Piece Ceramic Cookware Set includes every pan you'll need and none you won't. Coated in a sleek, non-toxic ceramic finish that's free from PFAS, PFOA, and lead, each piece is crafted from sturdy die-cast aluminum for even heat distribution and lightweight handling. Silicone handles stay cool on the stovetop, and the clear glass lids make it easy to keep an eye on your simmer without releasing steam. Designed to be compatible with all stovetops (including induction), these pans are dishwasher-safe, oven-safe up to 550°F (lids to 350°F), and come with matching soft tools to keep the ceramic surface pristine. Ease and function for the win. Advertisement I won't sit here and pretend I've braised short ribs in this set's Dutch oven or flipped scallion pancakes in the saute pan, but I can tell you that the die-cast aluminum construction means it heats evenly, which is half the battle in getting a good sear or gentle simmer. And the handles stay cool, which might not sound like a big deal until you've accidentally branded yourself reaching for a molten skillet mid-risotto stir. Been there. Still have the scar.

Nordstrom just halved the price of this cult-favorite Viking knife set
New York Post may be compensated and/or receive an affiliate commission if you click or buy through our links. Featured pricing is subject to change. There are few things in life that make you feel like a functional adult: paying your taxes on time, drinking water before coffee, and displaying a matching set of razor-sharp knives in your kitchen. Oh, and shopping the wild deals at the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. The Viking 14-Piece German Steel Knife Block Set is one of those rare purchases that upgrades the energy of your entire kitchen, from cooking to staring into the fridge for too long. And right now? The set is half off during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. That's right: originally $400, now yours for $200. I don't know who needs to hear this, but that mismatched drawer full of dull blades and sad paring knives from 2007 is not the move. If you want to look like you know what you're doing in the kitchen — maybe even actually get to know what you're doing — this is the kind of knife set you invest in. The Viking name doesn't play. German steel doesn't play. And you, my friend, are done playing around. Advertisement Nordstrom The Viking 14-Piece Knife Block Set is crafted from durable German stainless steel for long-lasting sharpness, corrosion resistance, and serious cutting power. The set includes everything you need for daily prep and culinary flexing alike: an 8″ chef knife, 8″ bread knife, 7″ santoku, 6″ boning knife, 5″ serrated utility knife, 5″ tomato knife, 3.5″ paring knife, six steak knives, sharpening steel, and a handsome acacia wood block to house them all. Each knife is triple-riveted with a full tang for balance and strength, and the ergonomic handles provide comfort during extended chopping sessions (read: wine-fueled attempts at ratatouille). It's sleek, functional, and exactly the kind of purchase you'll be thankful for over the next decade.

These little fly fans are your summer swat team and 32% off for Prime Day
New York Post may be compensated and/or receive an affiliate commission if you click or buy through our links. Featured pricing is subject to change. There's something about a perfectly set summer table. A chilled bottle of Sancerre, fresh sliced peaches, maybe a burrata if I'm feeling cheeky. And then a fly lands directly on the watermelon mint salad and, suddenly, it's personal. That was my life before I discovered these weird little spinning blade gadgets that now live permanently on every outdoor table I touch. They're the AMIAEDU Fly Fans, they look like mini helicopter prototypes, and they are shockingly effective. The soft, flexible blades twirl gently (and silently), creating just enough air disturbance to make flies think twice about ruining your al fresco moment. They don't kill anything, they just repel — like Axe body spray. Right now, these tiny heroes are 32% off for Prime Day, and I'm telling you: they are the unsung MVPs of summer hosting. I bring them everywhere — barbecues, picnics, patio dinners — and every time someone asks 'Wait…do those actually work?' I just gesture wordlessly to the pristine charcuterie board. The proof is in the prosciutto. Advertisement Amazon Each AMIAEDU Fly Fan is battery-powered (or USB rechargeable, depending on the model) and designed with holographic blades that catch the light in a way that bugs naturally avoid. They're safe to touch, fit discreetly on any table, and create a 360° fly-free zone around your food and drinks. Light, portable, and blissfully quiet, they're the lazy girl's answer to bug control — no zapping, no swatting, just chill vibes and uninterrupted appetizers.

The cast iron skillet that made me cheat on my Le Creuset is actually on sale
New York Post may be compensated and/or receive an affiliate commission if you click or buy through our links. Featured pricing is subject to change. Look, I never meant to stray. But the Field Company No.10 skillet? It seduced me with its satin-black seasoning, a weight I could actually lift one-handed, and a surface smoother than any other cast iron I've ever owned. It's like Field Company looked at traditional cast iron and said, 'What if this wasn't a total pain to use?' And then they made it 20% off for Prime Day. Lightweight, pre-seasoned, and gloriously American-made, the No.10 is the skillet that makes me feel like a rustic French grandma and a minimalist Brooklyn chef all at once. I use it almost daily: to sear steaks, crisp smashed potatoes, and even reheat leftover pizza like it deserves a second chance. What sealed the deal? The clean-up. This pan wipes out with a paper towel like it's Teflon but without the chemicals. It heats evenly, it looks hot left out on the stove, and I've had fellow cook friends over who pointed at it mid-meal and said, 'Wait, is that from Field Company?' Yes. Yes, it is. And on Prime Day, no less, it's 20% off. If there were ever a time to become a cast-iron adulterer, this is it. Amazon The Field Company No.10 12-Inch Cast Iron Skillet is a modern classic, designed to be lighter, smoother, and easier to handle than your average cast iron. At just 4.5 pounds, it's noticeably less bulky than competitors, making it a joy to wield whether you're flipping cornbread or finishing a filet in the oven. It comes pre-seasoned with organic grapeseed oil and is built to last a literal lifetime. The ergonomic handle stays cooler than expected, and the sloped sides make it easy to spoon, scrape, and pour without awkward angles. Compatible with all cooktops (yes, even induction), it's the kind of pan that actually gets better the more you use it. Just don't be surprised when it quietly replaces every other skillet you own.
