For an impatient baker, waiting for butter to soften when you're otherwise ready to go is like waiting for a pot of cold water to reach a boil. Minutes feel like weeks. OK, that's dramatic, but it is annoying. The problem is now fully solved by Oster's HeatSoft 7-speed hand mixer, currently 50% off at Best Buy, today only, as part of its regular Deal of the Day promo.

But it's not just the hand mixer on discount today. Best Buy has a high-performance KitchenAid convection and toaster oven down to just $80 (from its original $140), and a nifty three-headed slow-cooker on sale for less than $30 (down from $60). 

Let's peep this trio of one-day kitchen deals. 

The Oster hand mixer does everything you want your hand mixer to do for easy no-fuss, in-bowl mixing but with one key additional feature: It blows a gentle breeze of warm air out the front to bring your butter (and other ingredients) to room temperature in seconds, so you can get mixing right away. Genius. 

$50 at Best Buy

Big enough to roast an entire chicken or cook a 12-inch pizza, this sleek, stainless steel toaster and convection oven receives high marks in nearly 600 verified-purchase reviews on Best Buy. This compact KitchenAid oven provides much-needed extra cooking space for any serial host or hostess.

$80 at Best Buy

If you're planning to host some tournament watch parties in March, check out the Bella triple slow cooker and warmer. This nifty buffet feels tailor-made to hold a threesome of game day foods and dips like queso, chili, spinach artichoke dip, gravy or buffalo chicken dip (if someone doesn't stop me, I'll go on forever). 

$30 at Best Buy

The Oster hand mixer and the KitchenAid oven both ship for free ($30 minimum). Or order any of these three deals online and pick them up for free at your local brick-and-mortar Best Buy location.
