You can still shop the best 4th of July kitchen sales on Calphalon, KitchenAid and more

So, your outdoor space is too small for a grill, and you'd really like to avoid a house full of smoke — but you're still craving those charred foods of summer. This indoor grill sears proteins and veggies like a champ, but its smoke control system means you won't be breathing in soot while you cook. In addition to a grill plate, it comes with a flat-top griddle (smash burgers, anyone?) and you'll be able to fit up to six steaks at a time on its roomy cooking surface. Bonus: It comes with a food thermometer for accurate results every time. 

"I honestly like meat and poultry grilled on this better than on my outdoor grill," admitted a shopper. "I am able to control the temperature better. The meat is much juicier. It's just easier to use and I'm not standing outside in the heat in the summer. I love the griddle function. Boneless chicken breast is so tender and delicious like this! I was stunned!"

An 11-piece, nonstick cookware set for 56 bucks? There's gotta be a catch, right? Nope! This top-seller comes with two frying pans, two saucepans, a sauté pan, two silicone lids, two fridge storage lids and, most unique, two removable handles you can attach to each piece in the collection to save space. This is as low as we've ever seen it on sale for. 

"I got these in order to make some more space in my cabinets," wrote a buyer. "These take up a quarter of the space my old pots and pans used. They work great on my glass stove top. They are so easy to clean and have not scratched, dented or stained!"

'Tis the season for enjoying tasty frozen treats, and this wildly popular appliance will satiate your sweet tooth in between trips to the ice cream truck. It churns out everything from ice cream and sorbet to milkshakes and more — just add your ingredients, freeze overnight, press a button and ta-da! Plus, you'll be able to customize your creation with your favorite mix-ins. This price is better than Amazon's, so "scoop" it up while you can.

At 56% off, the slice is right when it comes to this sleek knife set. If you could use one less thing to remember, go ahead and cross "sharpen knives" off your to-do list, because this savvy set will do it automatically. These knives come housed in an attractive wooden block with slots that hone each blade every time you use them. The set includes an 8-inch chef's knife, a 6-inch utility knife, a 5-inch santoku knife, a 3.5-inch paring knife, kitchen shears and the aforementioned block. The triple-riveted handle is contoured to feel comfortable in your hand, allowing you to chop more confidently, and each tip is labeled so you'll know which knife you're reaching for.

"Compact," wrote one five-star fan. "I love my new knife set. They are really sharp and look nice on my counter."

I used to bake for a living, and my trusty KitchenAid stand mixer is my go-to appliance. Cake batters, cookie doughs, breads, frostings, meringues — you name it, I've probably made it using this mighty machine. Unlike flimsier mixers, this one was built to last (there's a reason KitchenAids are often passed down from one generation to the next). At 4.5 quarts, it can hold enough dough to make up to eight dozen cookies at a time, though it won't take up much room in your kitchen. Oh, and you'll get a beater, dough hook and whisk attachments for making practically any baked good under the sun. It's only dipped lower than its current sale price once this year. 

Yahoo writer (and grill tester) Kristen Granero awarded this "Best Propane Gas Grill," describing it as a "compact, no-frills gas grill that gets the job done — and then some." She went on to say, "Two stainless steel burners let you carve out hot and cold zones for more targeted results. There's a built-in lid thermometer for gauging temperatures, two wheels for added mobility and two side trays — one of them collapsible — for creating prep space." This is the lowest it's been in months.

Hot coffee on a sweaty summer day? You deserve better than that! This double-duty dynamo can prepare both hot and iced beverages, depending on your mood — that means one less appliance taking up space in your kitchen. Thanks to the large water reservoir, you'll be able to brew up to three cups before filling it up again, and it even comes with a cute little tumbler. 

"This hot and cold coffee brewer is very user-friendly and brews quickly," wrote a caffeinated customer. "I like that this coffee maker is sleek-looking, space-saving, easy to use and clean, brews efficiently and promptly, is able to brew a second cup without the need to reheat [and] comes with a tumbler."

Bring your crispy, crunchy culinary dreams to life with this Walmart bestseller. It can roast, reheat and dehydrate, all in one machine — and with little to no oil. Plus, it's compact but can accommodate up to 2 pounds of fries in its basket. Eat your heart out, Mickey D's. (Psst: This price is better than Amazon's!)

"This air fryer is top-notch," raved a buyer. "I use it nearly every day. Better than heating my whole oven in summer. Reheats pizza slices in minutes. Perfect French fries. Crisps bread and rolls. Cleanup is a breeze. So glad I bought it."

Le Creuset who? I cook with Lodge Dutch ovens at home, and this one is just the right size for a smaller household. The slick enameled interior cleans like a dream, while the sturdy cast iron offers excellent heat distribution and retention. Plus, it's so pretty you won't mind leaving it on the stove for everyone to admire.

Starbucks spending getting a little out of control? You won't miss your barista-made latte (or those insane lines) with this bestselling espresso maker in your arsenal. Just pop in your pod of choice and it'll brew both coffee and espresso drinks in no time — you can even pour them over ice on those sweltering summer mornings. This price is better than Amazon's. 

"My boyfriend enjoys drinking hot coffee while I enjoy hot and cold espresso drinks," explained a fan. "This machine is good for the best of both worlds; I upgraded to this from a Keurig, and I've never used a coffee machine more than I use this one. It's genuinely good espresso — I don't go to coffee shops anymore because I can get my fix at home."

Yes, this top-seller might technically be called a "meat" thermometer, but don't underestimate its value when it comes to liquids and baked goods. The most accurate way to tell whether food is done is by taking its temperature, and this gizmo presents a reading in seconds. At $10, this is as low as we've seen it since 2022. 

"I can't believe I've gone so long without a good cooking thermometer," wrote an impressed cook. "This thing works great, seems accurate. I like the magnet, so I can keep it on my fridge for easy finding. I used it to make yogurt — takes all the guessing out of that process."

This is admittedly for an outdoor kitchen, but one Yahoo writer did dub this the "Best Fire Pit for Cooking." If you're envisioning a summer filled with hot dogs, seared veggies and, of course, s'mores, this is the one that belongs in your backyard. The grill grate swivels for easy access, and you can use the outer edge for holding drinks and more. There's still plenty of backyard-worthy weather ahead of us, so grab it while it's over 45% off.

Faster food, cooler kitchen — this compact appliance is a no-brainer, especially during the warmer months when turning on your oven is the last thing you want to do. I've used it for everything from cakes and brownies to baked pasta and even roasted tofu and vegetables. It heats up in no time, plus it can fit a decent amount of food: six slices of toast, a 12-inch pizza or even a 4-pound chicken. The LED display has six functions: Toast, Bagel, Bake, Broil, Keep Warm and Reheat, and I'm positive it'll be getting a ton of use this summer. This is the lowest it's been since 2023.

Getting whacked in the face by a rogue droplet of hot oil isn't fun. According to the manufacturer, this bestselling splatter screen — nearly 70% off — can prevent up to 99% of liquids from escaping your pan as you cook, meaning you're much less likely to get burned. (Your stovetop will also be spared from greasy messes.) Plus, it'll help keep odors from consuming your kitchen, and unlike a lid, it'll still allow steam to be released. Its little feet let it rest on your counter with the mesh part elevated, making it a cute little cooling rack. So versatile, and for nearly 70% off!

"Love this product!" exclaimed one thrilled reviewer. "Not only does it keep oil from popping out of the pan and onto the surrounding area, but I haven’t had a splatter burn since I started using it. I can keep the guard on the pan and it doesn't burn or rupture. It is easy to clean in the dishwasher as well, and holds its strength and shape during cleaning."

Butterfingers, unite! Stainless steel mixing bowls are where it's at for clumsy bakers like me, since they're shatterproof. What I love about this set is that each bowl comes with a lid — that way, if you're making, say, bread dough that needs to rise, you'll have a cover for it without having to waste plastic wrap. Plus, you'll be able to pop any leftovers right into the fridge. This markdown saves you nearly 70%.

"They are so much lighter than my regular mixing bowls and so much easier to handle," said a home baker. "I used to feel I was jeopardizing my life whenever I took my ceramic bowls down. I highly recommend."

Many of my dishes come from Target, and I absolutely adore this gorgeous white set. Wouldn't it be so pretty on a summer dinner party table? It includes dinner plates, dessert plates and bowls for four, and the sturdy pieces are microwave- and dishwasher-safe. Grab it while it's nearly 45% off. 

Smelly fridge? Yeah, not so appetizing. But this unassuming odor minimizer works for up to 10 years (yes, you read that right) to keep your icebox fresh. All you do is place it inside and, well, that's actually it. Sorry, baking soda — you've been replaced. This little doodad can also go in closets, drawers, your car ... anywhere that could use some stench removal. This is the lowest it's been since last summer.

"Having boiled eggs and onions in the refrigerator at the same time can be horrific," said one fan. "Baking soda cannot mask the smells, so I bought this to try, and to my surprise, it actually does make the refrigerator smell fresh. ... I would give it 10 stars if I could."

Make the most of your counter space with this super-chic pair of stools. Made of soft velvet or trendy boucle fabric, these seats come in 10 colors, and you'll save nearly 70%, depending on the style you opt for. They're sturdy enough to hold up to 250 pounds, and a one-year warranty provides extra peace of mind. 

"Comfortable seat, very stable, easy to put together," shared a reviewer. "Absolutely love these. ... 10 out of 10 for me."
