Besides family time, fireworks and feasting, another thing we love about the July 4th holiday is that everything goes on sale (see our complete list of deals for proof). Right now, both Williams Sonoma and Sur la Table are running major sale events, and it just so happens that they feature many of our favorite kitchen tools, including chef’s knives, skillets and even cold brew coffee makers. If you’re in the market for some new kitchen essentials, now is the time to buy, because Williams Sonoma is giving 20 percent off select merchandise with code SUMMER, while Sur la Table is giving 25 percent off select merchandise, including clearance, with code SUMMER25. Happy shopping!

All-Clad consistently ranks among the best cookware out there, and that includes their D3 stainless steel skillet. Fans of the pan love that it has a clean design, sturdy handle, wide cooking surface and heats evenly. We particularly like the 10-inch skillet because it’s reasonably priced and durable.

If you’re looking for a chef’s knife you’ll be reaching for every time you cook, look no further than this indispensable blade from Wüsthof. This particular design has been around for what feels like forever, and deservedly so. It has a comfortable grip and a well-rounded blade that can tackle any task, from chopping onions to mincing parsley to deboning a chicken. No wonder it earned a spot on our Best Chef’s Knives List!

No surprise here that KitchenAid has captured our hearts as our favorite stand mixer, and summer is, without a doubt, a great time to add one to your home. You can use it now to make ice cream, whipped toppings and summery desserts, and you’ll be ready when it comes time to make all those holiday cookies, cake and pies. Can’t get enough of KitchenAid? See our roundup of the best July 4th KitchenAid deals.

Cook’s Illustrated rated this Cusinart Food Processor as its top pick in the category, and guess what? It topped our list too! It’s a simple, high-capacity appliance that gets the job done with just two buttons, On and Pulse, and it’s top rated for its affordability, power and consistency.

Thanks to its metal filter and patented Rainmaker technology that distributes water evenly, this machine makes a flavorful, low-acid brew. Just add coarsely ground coffee and water, and let it filter and steep for 12–24 hours. When brewing is done, place the 32 oz. carafe under the stand and press a switch to release the coffee concentrate. It’s that simple! All that’s left for you to do is to add water, milk or ice, and relax.

Don’t forget about a casserole dish! Le Creuset stoneware pieces are collectors items, and for good reason: They come in a variety of pretty colors, go beautifully from oven to table and also handle well in the microwave, freezer and dishwasher. We like them for making ziti, stuffing and apple cobbler.

Yes, we love our Le Creusets and Staubs, but we also love these pre-seasoned pans that are made in the U.S. from a single piece of cast iron. And we especially love the price tags! Oh, and they cook really well, so price does not mean compromising quality when it comes to these skillets. And how’s this for a deal? Sur la Table is throwing in a free Lodge Logic Glass Lid with purchase of the skillet. Score!
