We’re well aware it’s summer and that all minds are on the grill. But we would like to redirect your attention to the cooktop.
Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ve encountered someone telling you that Amazon Prime Day is on, and there’s no better time to snag a deal on that cookware set you saved in your cart “for later.” Turns out, later might just be now when it comes to Prime Day deals on pots and pans.

In that case, you’re in luck: We’ve tested hundreds of pieces of cookware at Bon Appetit so you don’t have to. From the best cast-iron skillets to superior stockpots, and everything in between, we’ve covered it all—and Amazon has many of our top picks discounted this week.

Stainless-steel skillet deals
Both 10- and 12-inch skillets meet most home cooks’ needs, but this Prime Day, why not grab them both? Bon Appetit’s favorite stainless skillet—the All-Clad D3—is available as a duo (both a 10- and 12-inch) for 50 bucks off, so you don’t have to choose.
If you’re looking for a great skillet but don’t want two, there are a bunch of great single options on sale. Our editors love the Made In Cookware frying pan, calling the quality “comparable to All-Clad.”
For under $90, the XL Misen skillet is a very good choice—if you can get past the long handle.
Nonstick skillet deals
Arguably the most-reached-for vessel in the kitchen (whether it should be or not), a nonstick skillet is likely to become the cookware you’ll replace the most because everyone we’ve ever used tops out at around a 3-year lifespan. This Prime Day, you’ll find BA’s staff favorite inexpensive pick from Oxo, touted as a “bargain relative to its quality.” Purchase the 12-inch pan solo, or pop for the three-piece set, which includes 8-, 10-, and 12-inch skillets.
There’s also a HexClad discounted. In recent testing our cookware team has found Hexclad to be fine, but a bit on the expensive side. So if you’re considering HexClad because of its omnipresent advertising campaign, now would be the time click buy now.
Cast-iron deals
Fan-favorite brand Lodge has two sizes of its cast-iron skillets on sale. Pick up an 8-inch ($19.50 on sale) for those morning eggs, or the massive 17-inch (59.50) for family feasts. Also, if you’re looking for a multipurpose vessel that works on the stovetop and the grill, these skillets are no-brainers—they come pre-seasoned, so a perfectly charred steak is just minutes away from peeling away the packaging.
Also in the cast-iron category from Lodge are three other nice-to-have pieces: a hefty Dutch oven, a braiser, and a griddle.
Cookware set deals
If you’re looking to start with a fresh set but have put it off because, well, pots and pans are expensive, this is an ideal time to consider going for it. BA’s top pick—again, the All-Clad D3—is marked down $100 for its seven-piece set. It comes with a 10-inch skillet, a 3-quart lidded saucepan, a 3-quart lidded sauté pan, and an 8-quart lidded stockpot—great “fundamental pieces” according to our editors.
Nonstick lovers can rejoice—Made In Cookware’s beloved ceramic-coated set is marked down, too. Like the All-Clad, it’s also a seven-piece set, but the pieces include a 10-inch skillet, a 4-quart lidded saucepan, a 4-quart lidded sauté pan, and an 8-quart lidded stockpot. Just keep in mind that nonstick cookware doesn’t last a lifetime (compared to stainless), so you’ll probably need to replace it in a few years.
