10 Kitchen Goodies From Sur La Table's Sale

Melting Pot

Sur La Table Fondue Set for $62.96 ($27 off)

When you're out of ideas for dinner, go fancy with a fondue spread. This set includes six color-coded forks and can go in the dishwasher, so the thought of scrubbing out melted cheese should no longer deter you from getting groovy with your meals.

Quite 'A-Peeling'

Sur La Table Y-Shaped Vegetable Peeler for $5.99 ($4 off)

It seems counterintuitive, but a ceramic peeler will hold up better than the traditional metal kind. And using one of these also makes skinning potatoes kind of fun; luckily, the ergonomic handle means you'll be able to work as long as you want.

Saucy Fave

Sur La Table 3-Quart Nonstick Saucepan for $39.99 ($40 off)

Chances are you already have a saucepan. But is it nonstick? Does it have two pour spouts? Does the lid work as a built-in colander? And can you toss it in the dishwasher when you're done? If you didn't answer in the affirmative to all of those questions, meet your new favorite upgrade.

Silver Spoons

Sur La Table Odd-Size Measuring Spoons for $12.76 ($3 off)

Math in the kitchen is unavoidable, but you can make it a little easier with these stainless steel spoons. They're designed to fit inside jars for neat scooping, and they feature nonstandard sizes like Pinch, ⅛ tsp., and ⅔ tsp.

Get to the Chopper

Sur La Table Veggie Prep Station for $19.96 ($10 off)

While you can cut food however you want with a knife, a contraption like this can save a lot of time and effort. Slice, dice, and wedge fruits and vegetables into uniform pieces, then collect them in the base, which doubles as storage for the components when you've finished.

Brownie Bites

Sur La Table 20-Cavity Brownie Bites Pan for $23.76 ($10 off)

Every piece is an edge piece when you bake brownies as individual bites. This pan's silicone coating ensures a clean release, and portioning is already done for you. (How many of the portions you decide to consume is another matter.)

Glass Act

Sur La Table 20-Piece Storage Set for $41.96 ($18 off)

Mismatched plastic containers are okay for the fridge, but these glass ones can go in the oven, freezer, microwave, and dishwasher. They also make food more appetizing, so leftovers have a better shot at actually getting eaten.

Pit Party

Sur La Table Cherry Pitter for $9.99 ($10 off)

Fresh cherries are great, except for that whole messy pitting process. Simplify it with this gadget, which can pit seven cherries at a time and protects you from juice splatter. It's good for olives as well, so technically it's not even a unitasker. Alton Brown would totally approve.

Pans Like the Pros

Sur La Table 15-Piece Cookware Set for $419.96 ($180 off)

High-quality pans will pay for themselves in delicious food and enjoyable use. Here's a proper set with everything you need to make your culinary dreams reality — and bonuses like a pasta insert and cool-touch handles.

Campfire Goals

Sur La Table S'Mores Basket for $9.99 ($15 off)

This basket will take your s'mores game to the next level. Messy marshmallow transfers from skewer to cracker are now a thing of the past. Just stack your dessert in its section, heat it from a reasonable distance (thanks to the long handle), and partake of the melty goodness.
