Amazon just dropped a ton of KitchenAid deals, starting at $10: A pro baker's picks

Any home baker who wants to take their pastry skills to the next level ought to own a stand mixer, and this is the very model that graces Ina Garten's kitchen. (Hers is white — also on sale!) Yes, KitchenAids are an investment, but they're highly versatile appliances that are built to last ... and last. Plus, this top-seller is down to its best price in months.

Sure, you can get away with using an inexpensive hand mixer for many baking tasks. That said, this KitchenAid is much more efficient when it comes to whipping egg whites and sugar for making meringue or kneading bread dough (it comes with a dough hook attachment). It's also ideal for multitasking since you can leave it to do the mixing while you take care of other prep work and cleanup. Trust me, when it comes to convenience, it'll pay for itself within the first few uses.

In the market for some new measuring tools? My rule of thumb is to make sure the markings are etched in (like the ones in this set) rather than printed on. Printed markings fade over time, meaning you're more likely to use the wrong cup or spoon — and that'll really throw things off when you're baking.

This highly rated set has only ever dipped lower than its current price by $2, and that's rare. It includes both U.S. and metric measurements, is dishwasher-safe and has handles with nonslip undersides for improved grip.

I also own this little workhorse, which does everything from smoothing out sauces to blitzing chunky soup into a velvety delight. Oh, and you don't have to transfer a heavy pot of scalding liquid into the narrow mouth of a blender while praying you're spared from painful splashes, either — just use it right in the pot. I even reach for it to make homemade whipped cream in a jiffy.

This set, which includes a blending pitcher and pan guard, is down to its best price since December. 

Even the most passionate home cooks need a break from manual chopping here and there — and that's where this highly rated appliance comes in. It includes just about every shredding and slicing attachment you'd want an electric chopper to have, and it's so versatile, it can even knead dough. 

This is close to as low as I've seen it on sale for since 2023.

Of course, if you don't have space for a 13-cup behemoth (or have no plans to prep veggies for a crowd), this 7-cup model is a fab alternative. Use it to whip up homemade sauces and dressings in a snap, and it even comes with a slicing/shredding disc to make easy work of cheese and veggies. 

This isn't the lowest price it's ever been on sale for, but it's still a great value when you consider how much use you'll get out of it. 

Dull knives aren't just a drag to use, they're less safe since you have to exert more force to slice through your food. You'll never have to worry about that with this sleek collection, which includes an attractive block with a sharpener built right in. 

A single knife can easily cost as much as this entire set, which, at 52% off, is down to its best price ever.

Not everyone has the room or budget for a stand mixer, but this pint-sized gadget can do almost everything its larger sibling can. From making cake batters to cookie doughs, it'll bring your ingredients together in no time, all without putting your arm through an intense workout. Plus, this one has an impressive nine speeds to choose from. 

According to our price trackers, it hasn't dipped lower since 2020, FYI...

Rather not deal with cords? This battery-powered mixer can be used anywhere in your home. No more searching for unoccupied outlets; plus, the included battery is compatible with every appliance in the KitchenAid Go line. 

This is one of the best prices I've seen it on sale for in months. 

Still haven't jumped aboard the air fryer train? Maybe this multitasker will inspire you to. It comes with an air fry basket to satisfy your crunchy-food cravings (and in less time than a standard oven) and a pizza stone that'll fit a 12-inch pie. And it's attractive enough to display on your counter all year long.

Consider snagging it while you can save 70 bucks. 

I scream, you scream, we all scream for (homemade) ice cream. To make custom frozen treats, all you have to do is freeze the included bowl, then add your ingredients and get churning. This attachment fits most models, but double-check the product page just to be sure. 

It's only dipped lower by a few bucks, so add it to your cart before those warm-weather cravings hit!

Rounding things out is this mini blitzer, which is part of the aforementioned KitchenAid Go collection and comes with the line's universal battery. At just over 3 pounds, it's super portable, so feel free to take that smoothie on the go. 

It's rarely dipped lower than this since the holidays.
