The Best Non-Amazon Sales for Prime Day (and There Are Many)
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. Below, we have whipped up a guide to all of the sales happening in-tandem with Amazon Prime Day, from big name brands such as KitchenAid to niche designer tableware items. We'll start off with a quickie cheat sheet list, and then dive into what we consider the crème fraîche of the crop. At a glance: Save $175 on this huge Le Creuset Dutch oven As Stephanie Ganz writes in this Eater article about the best Dutch ovens, 'Le Creuset makes the gold standard of Dutch ovens. I'm still using the one I borrowed from my parents' kitchen 20 years ago, after who knows how many years of it being used to make our family's beef stroganoff and day-long Bolognese.' This trio of Zwilling shears is 50% off Sur La Table has kitchen deals galore on all kinds of cookware and tools, including these micro-serrated kitchen shears whose handles also function as a bottle cap opener. Zwilling 3-Piece Shears Set $ 35 $ 65 46 % off $ 35 Kitchen shears are like Sharpies or hair ties — it's good to have a few floating around various drawers for in-the-moment needs. Zwilling makes a trio of shears with micro-serrated edges, and handles so strong they can purportedly double as bottle openers, and right now, they're 47% off. Read More $35 at Sur La Table Gift the knife nerd in your life this kumo set (while it's $166 off) Italic sure has delivered on this handsome set of nakiri, gyuto, bread, and petty knives for the passionate home cook, which are known as kumo knives because of their cloud-like patterns on the durable, Damascus stainless steel blades. Right now, there are big savings on Italic goods on the brand's site as well as over at Nordstrom. This embedded content failed to load. A few of the best non-Amazon deals on countertop kitchen appliances This pistachio-colored food processor It's easy to sprint to the stand mixers on sale at KitchenAid during Prime Day, but there are other countertop appliances from the beloved brand that are worthy of your precious counter space. This pistachio-colored mixer, for example, is delightful to look at and a breeze to assemble, and let's not forget that food processors are an under-appreciated addition to your kitchen arsenal. Vitamix, aka the Bentley of blenders, is on sale Ah, Vitamix — the blender brand's stellar reputation truly precedes it. Pulverize your heart out with this clout-worthy blender, which earned its reputation through intuitive controls (who doesn't love a 10-dial system?) and double high-powered motors. This workhorse Japanese rice cooker is over $50 off Zojirushi rice cookers are just so reliable and truly idiot-proof (I can attest to this, as someone who historically frequently makes rice on the stove with just a little too much water) that they're the reigning rice-cooker pick of our discerning Eater editors. This 3-cup model is perfect for a smaller apartment or one- to three-person household. More great non-Amazon deals we spotted These placemats inspired by 80s pixel art American artist and graphic designer Susan Kare was a pioneer in the field of computer design, and contributed to some of the first-ever interface elements and typefaces for Apple Macintosh computers in the 1980s. She also brought them to life in the form of these placemats, which make for a pretty sweet conversation piece under your spaghetti. Unbreakable glassware for pool parties Make your lake picnics, pool parties, and beach days run that much smoother by virtually eliminating the possibility of broken glasses. Your friends (and their toddlers) will thank you. We like this cobalt blue set that's almost 20% off at Wayfair right now. Who needs a personality when you have this teapot? Coming Soon is one of Manhattan's must-stop tchotchke shops, and it's having its big summer sale on all kinds of designer home and kitchen goods, including but not limited to this mushroom-shaped teapot. (Although, please don't consume real amanita muscaria.) Roquefort the night away with this cheesy puzz These food-themed puzzles by Areaware are designed to be completed in about 20 minutes, which makes them extra handy as a restaurant or picnic activity to keep on-hand when traveling with kids. These Eater staff-loved stackable glasses Not a season goes by that an Eater staffer won't mention their love of Crate & Barrel's Bodega glasses, myself included; they're lightweight, stackable, and great for everything from juices to wine. A kitchen TV just makes everything cozy Wouldn't you rather perfect your beef bourguignon while The Taste of Things sets the mood on your kitchen counter? This 32-inch screen is big enough for my not-that-great eyesight to catch every detail of Juliette Binoche's copper cookware in the French film, but not so large that it would feel out of place in the kitchen. Happy shopping! Check out more of Eater's Prime Day coverage here.

This Sleek Set of German-Engineered Zwilling Steak Knives for 61% Off
I'm a big proponent of thoughtfully curating which kitchen gadgets you actually need, and an even bigger champion of investing in high quality when it comes to essential dining tools, such as a set of German-designed steak knives. Lo and behold, I'm adding-to-cart this sleek set from Zwilling, which is already a whopping 61 percent off on Amazon in anticipation of Prime Day: If you're new to Zwilling, it's a legacy brand with a serious history; founded in 1731 in Solingen, Germany by blacksmith and knife-maker Peter Henckels, it's one of the oldest trademarks in the world. But to understand its continued commitment to quality in modern times, you need only read the company's enthusiastic description of its knives on the set's Amazon product page. 'WE KNOW MORE ABOUT KNIVES THAN ANYONE ELSE IN THE WORLD,' it declares. In fact, Solingen has been dubbed the 'City of Blades' thanks largely to companies such as Zwilling that have been smithing swords, razors, and knives for centuries. A set of steak knives can be a game-changer for dinner parties and home dining; even if you think you can get by with whatever cutlery you have lying around, you'll quickly realize what a pleasure it is to use a nice steak knife. As a former vegetarian, there was a time when I, too, was content using the knives from my flatware set at the dinner table, but that's because I thought it was normal to fumble slicing overripe tomatoes in Plato's Cave. Now, I am happy to report that I am cutting through both wagyu beef and plump, fussy fruits alike with one effortless gesture of my steak knife. The only downside is that I only own four knives, which is why this silver-colored set from Zwilling caught my eye in the first place: for under $100, you will receive not four or six but eight knives that are svelte enough to fit in with all the other flatware in your kitchen drawer organizer (as opposed to steak knives with chunkier wood handles). And with a set of eight, you can truly amp up your summer entertaining. I say, smash the order button and start making your life a whole lot easier. The Zwilling steak knife set is available on Amazon , and check Eater's coverage of early Amazon Prime Day kitchen deals here .

Best food flasks UK 2025; tried and tested
LOOKING for a way to keep your favourite meals piping hot while you're out and about? The best food flasks are the ultimate solution for anyone who loves a hearty soup, a warming curry, or even their overnight oats on the go. In summer, they're a great addition to your camping supplies, and they're also ideal for keeping salads crisp and refreshing during the morning commute. We've done the hard work for you and rounded up the top food flasks that tick all the boxes — keeping your meals hot (or cold) for hours, being leak-proof, easy to clean, and, of course, stylish enough to carry around without embarrassment. We've tested a range of food flasks to ensure they deliver on performance, practicality and price. Whether you need one that can handle a heavy-duty hike or simply something to keep your leftovers warm at your desk, we've rated them all so you can make an informed choice. Zwilling Thermo Food Jar Thermo Food Jar, £34.95 £27.96 from Zwilling with code JUNE20 BUY HERE Pros: Includes stoway spoon, lid can also be used as a bowl, big 700ml capacity, dishwasher safe, lightweight considering its size Cons: Bulky design makes it less portable than some competitors, only comes in two colours Rating: 9.5/10 This is a proper bit of kit. Measuring 17cm in height with a 10cm diameter, it's the biggest flask we tested, which might put you off if portability is a key consideration. However its 700ml capacity means it should satisfy even the biggest appetites, and considering its capacity, it's also very lightweight, clocking in at half a kilo. It's also really cleverly designed; like the Thermos flask below, it comes with a stowaway spoon, but Zwilling goes one step further; the lid doubles up as a bowl, making it easy to share your food. It performed outstandingly in our tests, keeping water warm for a really impressive length of time. After almost three hours, the water was too hot to physically touch, and after six hours, it was still piping hot. And — this will be a theme in this roundup — the Zwilling flask gets a big tick for being dishwasher safe, meaning you don't have to wash it up by hand after a long day at work. Our only tiny niggle is that it's perhaps not as fashion-forward as some other flasks — it only comes in two colours, white and black — but to many shoppers, that won't matter. Thermos Icon Series Food Flask Thermos is likely the first brand name that comes to mind when you think of food flasks. After all, the word has become synonymous with keeping food and drink warm; people are as likely to call one of these a "Thermos" as a "food flask", no matter what brand it is. This flask is from the brand's "Icon Series", which it claims "blends a legacy of quality with advanced insulation". The result is a sleek, stylish metal food flask that comes in an array of colours; we opted for Ice White, but there's a few lovely options available. There's also a 710ml option available if you're feeding two (or one very hungry person). The Thermos was one of two flasks we tested that includes a stowaway spoon cleverly stashed beneath the lid; it's a lifesaver if you're camping, and it could even come in handy if you're too lazy to get up and get a spoon at the office. It's also one of only a couple of flasks we tested that is dishwasher safe, so it gets bonus points for that. In our test, it was a step or two behind the Zwilling flask, but ahead of the rest of the pack. It's also a full £10 cheaper than the Zwilling, making it the perfect choice if budget is a key consideration. Black+Blum Food Flask BUY HERE Pros: Comes with a spoon and elastic strap, sleek metal design, impressive heatkeeping capabilities Cons: Tall and narrow design can make it slightly hard to eat certain foods, 0.4L capacity might be too small for hungrier people Rating: 8/10 It's a tiny thing, but we love that Black+Blum straps a chic wooden spoon to its food flask; it's a nice touch, and makes sure you won't be left in a situation where you'll be forced to slurp food straight out of the jar. It's also very nicely designed, with a sleek metal construction. While the metal finish certainly looks nice, we were worried that it would leave the flask vulnerable to scratches and dings, but after a couple of uses, it still looks as good as new. That's backed up by the reviews on the Black+Blum site, with one person writing that their flask 'has been in constant use for two years and is still in perfect condition'. It really impressed in our boiling water test; six hours after we first put boiling water into it, when the water in many other jars was tepid, the water in the Black+Blum flask was still steaming. Our only tiny qualm was that Black+Blum has chosen a taller, narrower design, compared to the short and wide shape opted for by Le Creuset and Hydroflask, which makes it slightly harder to get to the food at the bottom of the jar. However, it does make it more portable, and it could probably fit into the water bottle compartment of most backpacks. Chillys Stainless Steel Food Pot BUY HERE Pros: Looks sleek, can be personalised, lightweight, decent heat keeping capabilities Cons: Not dishwasher safe, metal finish is easily marked Rating: 7/10 Chillys bottles are as much a status symbol as anything else, and the brand's Food Pot looks just as sleek. Ours came in a brushed metal finish, which looks really nice, but we'd probably go for one of the other colours if we were to buy one; the metal was quite easily marked, and we could see it getting quite battered quite quickly. We suspected that, like the Le Creuset pot, it could be a bit style over substance, but we were pleasantly surprised by its heat-keeping capabilities. I'ts also one of the lightest food flasks we tested, which could be an important factor if you're ferrying it to work every day. However, it's not dishwasher safe, which caused us to dock some points. Being a Chillys product, it's also super giftable, and the brand leans into that by adding the option to engrave a name on the flask for £10. Hydro Flask 20oz Insulated Food Jar BUY HERE Pros: Large capacity, dishwasher safe, wide diameter makes food easy to eat, soft grip lid is super easy to open Cons: Doesn't look as sleek as other flasks, easily marked Rating: 7/10 If we were to design a food jar, this is the shape we'd go for: short, stout and wide, making it easy to eat your food without getting your hands messy (it also makes it easier to clean). If you're eating somewhere cold, the design might mean you lose heat a bit faster, and it's perhaps not as portable, either, but personally, that's a sacrifice we're willing to make. The Hydro Flask also won a place in our hearts thanks to being dishwasher safe; most food flasks aren't, and it's a dream to be able to throw it in with your dinner plates after a long day at work. Hungry shoppers will also appreciate this flask's 20oz (591ml) capacity, and the soft-grip lid is a nice touch, making it easy to open even if you've got wet or greasy hands. Initially, it impressed in our testing, too; unlike some other flasks, you could barely tell there was boiling water inside; the outer still felt cool to the touch. However, after six hours, the initially boiling water was only tepid, which was disappointing. Another (admittedly shallow) complaint is that it perhaps looks a little less chic than other food flasks. After all, every day is a fashion show. It was also quite easily marked, the purple finish getting scuffed with black marks after just a couple of journeys to work. Material: 18/8 Stainless Steel; Capacity: 591ml; Weight: 420g; Dishwasher safe? Yes Le Creuset Food Jar BUY HERE Pros: …it's Le Creuset, lovely ridged design, double threaded opening prevents leaks, not badly priced considering the brand name Cons: Didn't retain heat as well as other models Rating: 6.5/10 We've got no qualms in admitting that we were drawn to this food flask thanks to the brand name and design. Embossed with Le Creuset on the side and adorned with the three concentric rings that the brand usually puts on its ceramic lids, it certainly looks the part. It also comes in four of the brand's iconic colours: Cerise, Shell Pink, Satin Black and Deep Teal. All come with a sleek metal lid that contrasts nicely to the hard plastic jar. It's the best of both worlds; the combination looks more sleek than a flask entirely made of plastic, but it's likely to look fresher for longer compared to a full metal flask, which is prone to scratches and dents. With a 10.7cm diameter and a height of 12.4cm, this fits firmly into our preferred 'short and stout' category, giving you enough width to get to the bottom of the flask without too much effort. However, in our highly scientific tests, we did notice that it lost a lot of heat through its lid, resulting in only lukewarm contents after six or so hours.
