The 2024 fall version of Amazon Prime Day is starting to wind down, and but before the clock strikes 12 there are still some good Prime Day cookware deals to pick up. Durable pots and pans are the cornerstone of any well-outfitted kitchen, but if you’re like me your cookware has been very well-loved and your favorite stainless-steel pots and pans may have seen better days. While there’s nothing wrong with a pan that’s got a little, ahem patina to it, that’s not something you want to see on your nonstick cookware. That stuff, whether its nonstick and PFAS-free or ceramic, needs to get replaced every few years. That’s both to avoid cooking on scratched nonstick (a real no-no if you have Teflon) and because it just doesn’t stay that nonsticky for that long. Look out for rust and scratches on your metal pans, too, as those are also indicators that it’s high time for something new. Now is the best time of the year to replace them since the savings on these cookware sets are so good you won’t feel even a little guilty to click “add to cart.” Oh, and if you want even more Prime Day kitchen deals head over to our coverage of Vitamix, air fryer, espresso machine, Le Creuset, and coffee maker deals, or check out our whole lineup here for more discounts on the best kitchen appliances, gadgets, stand mixers, tools, and more happening during this Amazon Prime Big Deal Days.
Jump straight to some of our favorite cookware deals
There aren’t that many full sets of pots and pans we’d recommend anyone buy. We do make an exception for All-Clad’s D3 sets though. This massive set from our favorite stainless steel cookware brand has absolutely everything. With multiple sauté pans, sauciers, and frying pans, you could actually split this with your sister and both of you would come out just fine. If it’s a little too much for you, there’s also a 7-piece set from All-Clad for less than $500. That’s because you usually end up getting some pieces you don’t really need, and we don’t think you should be saddled with only one material for you pans. However, All-Clad’s 14-piece set includes a few absolutely necessary pots and pans, like a stockpot, saucepan, sauté pan, and frying pan. The brand is regularly at the top of our product tests and the deal, over $300 off, is so good we think it’s worth springing for.
While a full All-Clad pots and pans set is definitely an asset for the average home cook, you might not want to drop over $1,000 in one purchase—regardless of how high quality the cookware is. Maybe you just want one piece from that cookware set like, say, a stockpot. Well, good news for you—the All-Clad stockpot (which also happens to be one of our favorite stockpots) is currently on sale for 20% off. This aluminum-core bad boy is built to last, so the investment will more than pay for itself in a few years.
When it comes to ceramic cookware sets, we personally love GreenPan—specifically its nonstick pan. Not only is it a good value and super functional, it also has a supersafe, PTFE- and PFOA-free nonstick coating. That good value’s sweetened even more right now with 40% off.
A good cast-iron skillet is like the kitchen equivalent of a pair of quality denim jeans: If you take care of it and maintain the seasoning, your cast-iron skillet can literally last for generations. The Lodge is one of our test kitchen–recommended cast-iron skillet picks for how well it’ll deliver a perfect sear and at an unbeatable price, mind you.
You might recognize Ninja for its air fryers, but the brand also actually makes cookware—including our go-to budget-friendly stainless-steel pan recs. According to testers on our sister site, Epicurious, the Ninja EverClad heats up quickly and is super responsive to temperature adjustments. This is an already pretty affordable pan at $60, and you can get it now for $10 off.
If you’ve had your eye on a copper-clad cookware set, this is one of the best deals we’ve ever seen. The hammered copper exterior of this set will make any kitchen look like it’s ready for an Architectural Digest home tour—but the copper cladding isn’t only for aesthetics; it also provides more even heating. The stainless-steel interiors won’t react with food, and all pieces feature stay-cool handles and glass lids.
Pasta season is officially here, so snag this 8-qt. pasta pot while it’s extremely on sale. It’s made from ultra-durable 3-ply stainless steel, and comes with both pasta and steamer inserts to make this one of the most versatile pieces in your kitchen. Use it without the inserts and it’s the perfect stockpot for making family-size batches of soups, stocks, and stews.
Enameled cast iron Dutch ovens get a lot of hype, but don’t discount the versatility (and the aesthetics!) of a raw cast-iron option. This one from Amazon Basics comes pre-seasoned, and has a 2-qt. capacity that’s perfect for small loaves of sourdough or 2-person servings of stew.
Refreshing your sheet pans in advance of holiday baking season is always a good idea, and these colorful nonstick ones from Great Jones are some of our favorites. The nonstick surface means you don’t need to freak out if you run out of parchment paper, and they can be tossed into the dishwasher for easy cleanup.
One of the old school DTC kitchenware brands, Misen still makes a nice pan (and a nice knife if you’re in the market for one). Their 10-inch stainless steel frying pan is 5-ply, meaning it has five sandwiched layers of metal to help with even heating. It’s not quite an All-Clad pan, but it’s still a very good performer and costs less than half as much now that it’s on sale.
If you have a small kitchen (or are simply trying to keep your cupboards from feeling cluttered), you need this nesting bakeware set. It comes with five multipurpose pieces: a large handled oven pan that can double as both a sheet tray and a roaster, three smaller rectangular baking pans, and a loaf pan. Like all Our Place cookware, it’s nontoxic, dishwasher-safe, and chic enough to go from oven to table.
A good sauté pan can do just about anything: one pan chicken bakes, saucing pasta, stews. Made In’s high-sided sauté is another affordable, fully clad, 5-ply pan. It can move seamlessly from stovetop to 500℉ oven, and is induction compatible for all you induction converts out there.
Nonstick sheet pans like the Great Jones one have their place (particularly for cookies!). But you need aluminum sheet pans to really crisp up anything that’s part of a sheet pan dinner or for roasted vegetables. And the thing about aluminum sheet pans is, they wear out. This affordable set from Nordic Ware has two half sheets (that’s the regular size you’re used to using) and a 1/8 size sheet pan. The smaller one is perfect for things like frozen chicken nuggets when that’s the only thing you’re kid will eat.
While we’re always quick to recommend Le Creuset’s Dutch oven as a splurge-worthy piece of cookware, the brand’s cast-iron skillet is also a worthwhile investment. It’s super thick and sturdy, and it also doesn’t call for the same level of maintenance as a Lodge cast-iron skillet might. Plus, the double pour spouts make it great for any super saucy dishes you might want to make.
Prime Day is a great time to buy specialty cookware, and this tamagoyaki pan is on our personal wish lists. It’s perfect for making bento-worthy Japanese folded omelets, but you can also use it to fry eggs and pancakes, sear meats and veggies, and do anything else you can in a regular frying pan.
This stovetop griddle also doubles as a baking dish, making it a multifunctional piece of kitchen cookware you didn’t know you needed. Use it to make a full breakfast—pancakes, eggs, and sausage—all in a single pan, or for your next sheet cake, casserole, or roast chicken. It has a nontoxic ceramic coating that’s nonstick and easy to clean, and it’s pretty enough to use as serveware.
Do you need a miniature pumpkin-shaped baking dish? No. But do you want one? Probably! And you might as well buy it while it’s more than 50% off. Better yet, buy two and spend your next at-home date night eating pumpkin soup out of a pumpkin-shaped bowl while you watch your favorite autumnal movie.
If you’re in the market for a nonstick pan set that is also oven-safe, look no further than this set from All-Clad. It comes with three lidded frying pans in a range of sizes, and all the pieces can be run through the dishwasher when you’re done making pancakes and omelets.
We get it, Dutch ovens tend to come with a hefty price tag—but the Prime Day cookware deals on Dutch ovens tend to be good enough to soften the blow. We love this Amazon Basics model, which has all the functionality of high-end versions at a fraction of the price. Whether you’re mastering the art of baking sourdough or want to fry chicken, this Dutch oven is sure to fill the hole in your kitchen cookware department.
Speaking of Dutch oven sales that soften the blow, no list of best cookware deals on Prime Day would be complete without at least one Le Creuset Dutch oven (the brand typically has sales on a variety of different colors and sizes). Ask a home cook or a pro chef and they’ll probably tell you that Le Creuset Dutch ovens are the GOAT. They tend to be pricey but they could theoretically be the only piece of cookware you own. You can use it to cook pasta, to sear and stew meat, to slow-cook vegetables, and so much more.
If you’re in charge of the roast at family dinner, it’s time to get a cast-iron casserole dish. This one comes with a tightly fitting lid for evenly cooking the juiciest chicken ever. It also has a porcelain enamel coating on the inside, so you won’t have to bring out any heavy-duty chemicals or steel wool to get it clean.
Ramekins are an easy-to-forget kitchen essential that comes in handy for a million reasons. Reach for them the next time you prep a recipe or create minis for soups and desserts, and they even make your plating prettier with these porcelain cups.
