Amazon Just Announced the Dates for Prime Day 2023—and You Can Already Shop These Early Kitchen Deals

The anticipation is finally over: Amazon has announced that Prime Day—the retailer’s biggest sale of the year—will be happening from July 11 to July 12 this summer. The event only happens once a year, and it's the best time to score can’t-miss deals on kitchen cookware, appliances, cutlery, dinnerware, and more. We’ve got all the information you need about Amazon Prime Day right here, so keep on reading. 

What is Amazon Prime Day?

Amazon Prime Day is the online retailer’s biggest sale event. It only lasts two full days, and only takes place once a year. Prime Day launched in 2015, and since then the annual  sales event has offered millions of deals on not just kitchen and home essentials, but in every department from clothes and shoes, to cleaning products and electronics. Amazon bills Prime Day as a “shopping event with deals exclusively for Prime members.” Some deals will be accessible to shoppers without a Prime Membership, but the best way to ensure that you see the best discounts is to sign up for the free 30-day trial of Prime. 

How do I become an Amazon Prime member?

Amazon Prime is the retailer’s subscription service, which costs $15 per month or you can pay a $139 yearly fee upfront. Not only do Prime members have access to the best deals from the retailer—not just on Prime Day but all year—they also get one- and two-day shipping options, and access to Prime Video, among other perks. If you aren’t already a member, sign up for a free 30-day trial. Only Amazon Prime members have access to the best Prime Day deals. 

When does Amazon Prime Day start?

Amazon Prime Day starts on July 11 and runs until July 12. Deals and discounts will start to appear on Amazon at 3 a.m. EST on July 11. Amazon Prime Day ends at midnight EST on July 12. However, it is worth noting that not all the deals that you find the first day will be available for the entire sale event, so it's important to grab that deal you’ve had your eye on right away. Some discounts only last one day, some might last a few days, and some will only be available for an hour or two. 

What will be on sale during Prime Day?

Products from every Amazon department will be on sale during Amazon Prime Day. The best deals to grab are high-ticket items from brands like Staub and Le Creuset, which will be on sale at steep discounts. Also be on the lookout for deals on everyday appliances that might need an upgrade in your kitchen. Appliances like blenders and air fryers beloved brands like Ninja and Cuisinart will all be included in sale, so this is the perfect time to stock up kitchen essentials. 

But even though Prime Day is still about a month away, Amazon is already slashing prices as much as 62 percent off on kitchen appliances, cookware, and gadgets. Prices start at just $9, so keep scrolling to find your new favorite kitchen product before Prime Day even begins.
