Ninja Foodi 8.5-Quart PossibleCooker Pro

This eight-in-one cooker from Ninja replaces 14 different tools and appliances that already exist in your kitchen. It can cook up to 30% faster than a conventional oven or can be used to slow cook, sauté, sear, steam, sous vide, bake, and more. The removable cooking pot is oven-safe up to 500° F. Put on a pot of chili to top off a hot dog or whip up some sloppy joe sliders for your guests to serve directly out of the cooker for easy cleanup. 

Rubbermaid 10-Piece Brilliance Leakproof Food Storage Containers

To make the day of the game easier for you, prep dips, sauces, and side dishes ahead of time and keep them stored in the refrigerator using these Rubbermaid leakproof containers. On the day of the event, heat up and serve guests in time for kickoff without having to cook a single thing. The containers are also helpful for storing leftovers thanks to their airtight lids. They “stack nicely,” according to one shopper, and don’t “stain or peel,” as shared by another.

Ninja Foodi 6-in-1 Nonstick Indoor Grill

If you live in a colder climate where grilling burgers isn’t doable outdoors, snag this Ninja indoor grill for $50 off. Along with grilling, the appliance can air crisp, roast, bake, broil, and dehydrate, and its cyclonic technology can help you achieve the perfect char. One shopper even used the countertop appliance to cook steaks and mentioned they were “perfectly cooked” with “zero smoke.” 

Wilton Ultra Bake Professional 3-Piece Cookie Sheet Set

Appetizers are arguably the best part of football watch parties. Snag this three-piece cookie sheet set to cook pigs in a blanket, chicken tenders, and more. And if you’re more of a dessert fan, use them to bake a batch of cookies to enjoy later in the game. The set features three different-sized nonstick pans that are dishwasher-safe and “very easy to clean,” per one shopper. Don’t forget to grab the on-sale stackable cooling racks, too.
