Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days 2024 will be here before you know it, but you don’t have to wait until October 8 and 9 to reap the benefits. We started shopping early and were amazed at how many great kitchen items are already on sale a week and a half before the beloved shopping event even begins. 

We found exciting deals on cookware, bakeware, appliances, knife sets, and much more from top brands. If you’re trying to kick off fall with a sparkling, new Dutch oven, we discovered a fan-favorite Le Creuset enameled cast iron Dutch oven for 42% off; if it’s knives you’re looking for, you’ll find everything from a highly rated Mercer Culinary bread knife for over 50% off to a 15-piece Henckels set for 60% off. Read on for the best early kitchen deals at Amazon October Prime Day, from $6.

Best Early October Prime Day Cookware and Bakeware Deals

You can never have too much high-quality cookware and bakeware, which is good, because you’ll definitely want to stock up on some of these phenomenal early deals in case they sell out. For instance, French cookware brand Staub’s 12-inch cast iron fry pan, which some shoppers say is the best you can buy, is 20% off, while Nordic Ware sheet pans are 48% off.

Le Creuset’s 3.5-quart cast iron Dutch oven is legendary. It’s got some of the best heat retention and distribution in the game, and its shape is ideal for circulating steam and moisture. Shoppers say it’s the whole package: “Even heating, cleans wonderfully…. and of course, it’s beautiful.”

Eighth sheet pans are super versatile — you can use them for baking, resting hot dishes, and even organizing your kitchen counter. This one has over 53,000 five-star ratings, and it’s 48% off right now. 

Best Early October Prime Day Knife Deals

Few things are more exciting than finding a superb discount on a stellar knife (or set of knives). In advance of Prime Big Deal Days, we sliced through thousands of discounts to find great savings, like Mercer Culinary’s 10-inch bread knife for 51% off and a powerful Mueller meat cleaver for only $20.

This is one of those deals people dream about. Included here are a paring knife, utility knife, santoku knife, chef’s knife, bread knife, steak knives, and more from legacy brand Henckels. Usually $345, this 15-piece set is a shocking 60% off, bringing the total price down to just $138.

If you need a new chef’s knife, look no further than this fully forged, super-sharp German blade from Zwilling. One shopper reported that it’s a “pleasure” to use and has a “perfect balance.”

Best Early October Prime Day Tool and Gadget Deals

It’s hard to soar in the kitchen without a strong arsenal of tools and gadgets. Though it’s easy to overlook the less glamorous kitchen items during big sales, don’t — OXO’s 4.8-star-rated stainless steel tongs are only $10 right now, and KitchenAid’s classic pizza wheel is 60% off.

Oven mitts are some of the biggest underrated heroes. They have to do a lot: Keep you from getting burned, help you hold onto slippery (and sometimes heavy) dishes, and fit well in order to keep you safe. These mitts from Gorilla Grip have over 18,000 five-star ratings, meaning that a lot of people trust them.

A great wooden utensil can be a huge help when you’re cooking on the stove. Customers say these are “beautiful, sturdy, and have a smooth finish,” and the set is only $6.

Best Early October Prime Day Appliance Deals

Appliances are magical helpers that aid us in carrying out the kitchen tasks we might not want to (or be able to) do manually. Coffee machines? Very important appliances — and the Nespresso VertuoPlus coffee and espresso maker, which one shopper said caused a “coffee renaissance” in their kitchen, is 35% off. Plus, as soup season approaches, Calphalon’s 5.3-quart slow cooker is a magnificent 53% off.

Cold press juicers help us get the most out of our fruits, veggies, and more. This slow press juicer runs at 80 RPM (revolutions per minute) in order to preserve all those important enzymes, vitamins, and minerals. 

Ninja’s 4-quart air fryer lets you fry, roast, and reheat all sorts of foods, and quickly. This model has nearly 70,000 five-star ratings, with one shopper calling it a “game-changer in the kitchen” that “is a must-have for anyone who wants fast, convenient, and healthy cooking options.”
