Ready to experience meat in a whole new way? Amazon’s currently offering the Bluetooth model of Anova’s excellent Sous Vide immersion circulator for $100 , essentially matching the price we saw on Black Friday.
Lifehacker has a great explainer on Sous-Vide cooking for you to check out, but the basic idea is that you seal the food in plastic bags, and then cook it in precisely heated water over a longer period of time. It sounds weird, but trust me when I say that it works like magic.
Every time we post this, we get some snark about the Bluetooth , so just know that it’s optional. If you connect your phone, you can find a recipe via Anova’s app, and automatically program the cooker with one tap, but you certainly don’t need to use it.
If you’re still clinging to your new year’s fitness resolutions, today’s Amazon Gold Box deal is here to help.
Inside , you’ll find three pieces of home gym equipment from Marcy: A flat bench , a power tower , and a complete 100 pound stack home gym. All of t hem are at or very close to all-time low prices, but these deals are only available today, or until sold out.
If you need some weights too, Bowflex’s popular SelectTech dumbbells are still on sale for under $250.
Before you go out and spend hundreds of dollars on a DJI Phantom, you can learn the basics of flying a quadcopter with this $24 toy drone from Aukey. Trust me, if you can fly this thing, you can fly a GPS-equipped, gyro-stabilized camera rig. And if not, well, it’s not like crashing it will be that big a deal.
Want a camera? Here’s a somewhat larger option for $72.
Pizza stones let you make crispier pizza ( and other foods ) in a standard oven, which can’t get nearly as hot as a true pizza oven, and a great one is on sale today on Amazon.
Pizzacraft’s 16.5″ stone has never been cheaper, and it makes a great gift for anyone that enjoys making their own pies at home.
All of a sudden, it’s 2017 and the Super Bowl is a few weeks away. If you don’t have cable, but are looking for a cheap and easy alternative to streaming the game, how about this $24 amplified antenna?
If you’ve tried an unamplified HDTV antenna (like the standard Mohu Leaf ), but can’t quite pull in every channel you want , this leaf-style model includes a USB-powered amp that should add a few miles of range. We’ve seen less expensive amplified antennas in the past, but none with over 3,600 mostly positive reviews.

The Shark Navigator Lift-Away is your favorite affordable vacuum cleaner , but it’s the step-up Professional model that’s on sale today for $140. Compared to the standard Lift-Away, the Professional includes a longer power cord and a microfiber dusting attachment; it doesn’t suck, is what I’m saying, except in the ways it should. Today’s price is one of the best we’ve seen, and roughly $60 less than usual.
Victorinox makes, by far, the best affordable kitchen knives you can buy , and you can grab the Swiss Classic slicing knife for $39 on Amazon today. That’s within a few cents of an all-time low, and worth it even if you only pull it out for Thanksgiving.
Our readers bought a lot of Instant Pot pressure cookers last year, but this Power Pressure Cooker XL also has solid reviews , and at $75 for 8 quarts, it’s far less expensive than the largest Instant Pot .
Pressure cookers are great for anyone that wants to make delicious food quickly (who wouldn’t?), and this model can also act as a slow cooker, rice cooker, and more.
This discounted dock can turn your old hard drives and SSDs into handy external storage, and it looks damn cool in the process, if I do say so myself.
If you’re an Amazon Prime member (and are financially responsible to a sufficient degree), there’s no reason not to have the new Amazon Prime Rewards credit card in your wallet.
The card gets you 1% cash back on all purchases, 2% at restaurants, gas stations, and drug stores, and most notably, a whopping 5% back on all Amazon.com purchases for Prime members. You won’t find a credit card that saves you more on Amazon, so if it’s your online store of choice, this is money in your pocket.
While the card isn’t going anywhere, the introductory $70 gift card offer likely will be. Amazon occasionally offers higher than usual sign-up bonuses on credit cards, and this appears to be one of those times (though Amazon isn’t completely clear on that point).
