A kind of not so obvious kitchen tool that is really useful to me is these neodymium hooks.   I use them on metal surfaces (fridge, range, etc....) to hang all kinds of kitchen accoutrements, like tongs.   Prime day price is really good for these and they have uses just about everywhere you can have a metal surface.

Kitchen related, I got a pack of 2 stick up LED puck lights for under my kitchen cabinets. I have dark quartz countertops and at night the overhead light doesn’t do enough. They are rechargeable via usb outlet, as I hate the waste of disposable batteries.

I bought a ThermoPen digital meat thermometer and "The Food of Taiwan: Recipes from the Beautiful Island". I used a Prime Day $10 coupon for the book. I wanted Fuschia Dunlop's "Land of Fish & Rice" but it wasn't eligible for the coupon, sadly.

A Ninja air fryer which damn well had better justify the counter space it will take up!  I have named it Jumbo.

On day 2 of this year's Prime extravaganza, I looked through the deals and ordered a few household items that were Prime deals at very good prices (non-stick aluminum foil, 2.5 gallon zip-top bags, Method foaming soap refills, etc.) for a total of ~ $24 in "discounts"  and ordered Pok Pok Noodles with the $5 book deal.  Last week, I got an email saying the order would be a couple of days late.  Today, I got an email saying the package had been returned by the shipper and a refund would be issued and I should place a new order - yeah, at full prices!  

Sheesh!

The amazon customer service is remarkably good, and remember rotuts gets a dividend.

I recently read a review of Pok Pok Noodles and it's just as well.  Save the $5 for something else.

Can't for the life of me remember where I read the review.

I think this would be arguable with Amazon.

Keep an eye here:

https://www.rcwilley.com/Appliances/Small-Kitchen-Appliances/Other/111161703/FirstBuild-Paragon-Induction-Cooktop-View

It's an induction hub with a Bluetooth probe/mat for semi-precision temperature feedback. I got a second backup unit from them in May when it was $99. Worth it. Not currently worth $350. Hopefully it will drop again.

 

It's at $99.

Speaking of which I have to love amazon pricing.  Today is payday and I ordered a Berndes pan* for $77.00 that had been about $160.00.  Immediately the amazon price jumped to $120.89.  I had never heard of Berndes but they seem to be well regarded on eGullet.

 

 

*mainly because I fancied the glass lid for another purpose.

m sorry for opening a new thread

 

but there is it

 

Black Friday or B Thursday is coming up

 

I am not a member of Amazon Prime

 

as I am not in a hurry

 

and Id like to not pay twice :

 

the prime fee , and my purchases 
 

however

 

In ordering some books yesterday 

 

Amazon offered me a free 30 day Prime membership

 

I agreed

 

Ive noted the day to cancel

 

My idea , is you use Amazon , and not a prime member

 

and don't choose to be one

 

as all the Great Swells do

 

you might look into buying somehting

 

at amazon , and if they offer you """ 30days free for Prime "

 

as long as you remember the date to cancel

 

you might be3 able to take some advantage 

 

of the Black Friday Deals

Amazon will also have Cyber Monday deals (searchable now, I believe) ... some deals will be better CM than BF in case some people don’t know. 

I have an EpiPen ... my friend gave it to me when he was dying ... it seemed very important to him that I have it ...

Well, the Breville Joule 1100 Watt circulator is now on sale for $159.99 instead of $249.99.... Credit goes to @lindag for pointing out this deal here.

Do they list all of their deals in one place?

 

 

Amazon does list all their deals in one place. And you can sort them by category.  Unfortunately, there are tons of them to sift through.  Some are good deals and others not so much.

 

http://www.thewirecutter.com can be helpful to finding deals on items they've previously rated.  My vintage 2011 iPad is getting clunky and I knew that was something I wanted to look for.  One of their updates showed a decent early Black Friday price at Best Buy and tipped me off to an additional discount "member price"

Cuisinart Steam Oven on sale for $99! Thought I had set a ridiculous watch point for CamelCamelCamel — now I’m going to have to find room for a CSO! 
 

Probably a prime members only deal. Time to stock up.  :laugh:  And I only got one, no backups for me... yet.
