12 Editor-Loved Early Presidents Day Sales

I shop for a living, and consequently can’t resist a good sale. Whether it’s Amazon Prime Day or Black Friday, I’ve learned to wait for the major sale events to start before stocking my kitchen with the tools and gadgets I need (or simply want). As it happens, Amazon has kindly rewarded my patience by discounting some of the premium pieces I’ve had my eye on ahead of Presidents Day. Shop Cuisinart food processors, Breville espresso makers, Lodge cast iron Dutch ovens, and more for up to 36% off before they sell out.

Cuisinart 14-Cup Food Processor 

Voted the “Best Overall” food processor in Food & Wine’s product lab, Cuisinart’s 14-cup model is hard to beat. I can personally vouch for its durability, as I’ve owned mine for five years and it still works perfectly. With just two buttons and a few attachments, it’s easy to use, highly efficient, and definitely worth the discounted price.   

Breville Espresso Machine 

Over 21,000 Amazon shoppers and Food & Wine testers swear by this Breville espresso machine for professional-level pours at home. It has a lot of bells and whistles — integrated frothers, grinders, and tampers, to name a few — but it’s simple to operate and built to last. Try it out for yourself while it’s on sale.    

OXO Good Grips 3-Piece Mixing Bowl Set 

It’s hard to compete with OXO’s nestable mixing bowl set. The insides are stainless steel and resistant to stains and odors, the outsides are coated in a layer of white plastic to protect your hands from heat, and the bottoms are non-skid, so they won’t fly around while you’re whisking. It’s no wonder one Amazon shopper still recommends them after 11 years of use.    

Made In Cookware 3-Piece Stainless Steel Frying Pan Set 

These pans have a “beautiful design, even heating, and a comfortable hold while cooking,” wrote product testers of the Made In’s stainless steel skillets. They went on to add that they’re a “fantastic investment for both experienced cooks and anyone buying a stainless steel pan for the first time.” Don’t miss out on the chance to grab this highly lauded set of three skillets for less than $300 ahead of the holiday. 

Lodge Cast Iron 5-Quart Double Dutch Oven 

Lodge’s cast iron cookware deserves its excellent reputation. The brand’s pieces are durable, functional, and extremely well-priced, especially now that its double Dutch oven is on sale for less than $50. With a lid that converts into a 10.25-inch skillet and a base that holds up to 5 quarts of food, I’m not surprised that over 3,000 Amazon shoppers have already purchased it this month.    

Cuisinart Air Fryer and Convection Toaster Oven 

You can save money and precious cabinet space by buying Cuisinart’s Air Fryer and Convection Toaster Oven while it’s $50 off. It combines the best aspects of both machines, allowing you to toast bread, air-fry potatoes, cook a 12-inch pizza, and roast a chicken with just the touch of a button. It pays to make smarter purchases for your home.        

Zojirushi Neuro Fuzzy Rice Cooker and Warmer

More than 10,000 Amazon shoppers recommend Zojirushi’s Neuro Fuzzy rice cooker. One customer even wrote that it “makes cooking rice a joy instead of a task,” which is more than I can say for cooking the stuff on the stove. This model can hold up to 5.5 cups of uncooked rice at a time, includes multiple settings for different grains, and comes equipped with technology that can sense temperature fluctuations. In short, your rice will come out perfectly cooked every time you use this machine. 

OXO Good Grips Thermocouple Thermometer 

Whether you’re baking sourdough bread or searing a steak, you need a reliable digital thermometer to test the temperature of your food. OXO’s model provides a reading in no more than five seconds, is accurate within 1°F, and is an impressive 35% off for a limited time. We recommend taking advantage of this sale before it expires.  

Shun Classic 6.5-Inch Nakiri Knife 

On the whole, Japanese knives are razor-sharp, perfectly balanced, and beautifully designed. Shun’s Nakiri knife is no exception. Its shape is ideal for the precise cuts required while chopping vegetables, which is a boon as we head into the season of fresh produce. Treat yours with care, and it will last you a long time in the kitchen.  

Crock-Pot Large 8-Quart Programmable Slow Cooker 

Save time in the evenings by making dinner in the mornings. All you have to do is place your ingredients in the bowl of a slow cooker, plug it in, and let it work its magic while you’re out running errands or sitting in meetings. By the time you get home at night, you’ll have a homemade meal without any of the fuss. For this reason alone (although there are plenty more), you should treat yourself to Crock-Pot’s 8-quart slow cooker while it’s $25 off. 

USA Pan Bakeware Half Sheet Pan

Easy sheet-pan meals are a hallmark of my dinner routine, which is why I rely so heavily on quality cookie sheets. USA Pan Bakeware is one of my go-to brands in the product category since its pieces never warp and are always reasonably priced. More than 6,400 Amazon shoppers agree, with one calling theirs the “best sheet pan ever.” I recommend grabbing a few during this limited-time sale.  

KitchenAid Dual Platform Digital Kitchen and Food Scale 

KitchenAid’s kitchen scale solves the most annoying problem about baking: the inability to sense lighter ingredients like yeast or spices. The brand fixed this by adding a second, more sensitive platform that delivers results in .001-ounce increments. Such precision is incredibly valuable while preparing your mise en place for a recipe and well worth the $28 price tag.
