The 33+ best US Black Friday kitchen deals on blenders, pans, cleaning tools and more

Alright everyone, hope you all saved some room for more – and I’m not just talking about Thanksgiving leftovers. After weeks of early sales, Black Friday has officially kicked off, which means the Black Friday kitchen sales are really starting to heat up.

A good Black Friday sale offers the ideal opportunity to stock up on kitchen necessities. As a home and kitchen shopping writer, I’ve spent almost three years perusing these Black Friday sales. I’ve sat for hours in a test kitchen with a small army of blenders and sauce pans. I’ve chatted with cooks and food experts about their favorite picks. So I have tracked enough holiday sales over the years to know when a “deal” is just a regular price in a festive hat.

And, now that Black Friday is in full swing, I’m officially clocking in to root out all the best deals. We’re talking over 50% off on kitchen appliances, hundreds of dollars marked off on nice Dutch ovens, coffee makers and so much more – just scroll on to find all the sales on some must-have kitchen products.

How I selected these Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals

I focused on the creme de la creme of kitchenware deals – the absolute must-haves from trusted brands marked down to what I’d consider “drop everything you’re doing and buy right now” prices. I started with products I’ve used and tested, then other products from brands I’m familiar with. I also considered small kitchen necessities that’d make for practical purchases at a discounted rate for you to take advantage of.

The very best Black Friday and Cyber Monday kitchen deals

JUST ADDED: Instant Pot 6qt 9-in-1 Pressure Cooker Bundle

Now $59.99, originally $139.99 at Target

Before there was the air fryer, there was the pressure cooker. Thanks to a bunch of set-it-and-forget-it features, this machine is your key to unlocking easy meal prep. What’s better, this Instant Pot model is knocked down a whopping 57% off this Black Friday. I don’t say this lightly: run, don’t walk, to this deal.

***

Vitamix 5200 Blender

Now $299.95, originally $479.95 on Amazon

I’ll keep it simple: this is the best blender you can buy at a really good price. A Vitamix 5200 is an investment-worthy kitchen appliance that normally retails for around $500, but you can buy it this Black Friday for $200 off. I don’t say this lightly, but that’s a deal of a lifetime.

***

Staub Dutch Oven

Now $135, originally $300 at Amazon

When it comes to Dutch ovens, there are really only two options: Staub and Le Creuset. Both French cookware brands make the best when it comes to Dutch ovens, and you can buy both right now on sale. I’ve highlighted the Staub as “the best” just because the sale is a little better, but you can’t go wrong with either – scroll down for a deal on the other brand. A Staub or Le Creuset Dutch oven is the type of investment that’ll last you for years to come. Snagging that sort of investment at a discount? Unbeatable. Make sure you pay attention to the color and size you buy – the sale only applies to the 4-quart in select colors.

***

Material Grippy reBoard

Now $32, originally $40 at Material

Eco-friendly kitchenware brand Material is currently offering up to 35% off sitewide. I’d recommend using this deal to your advantage to snag the retailer’s grippy reBoard. Material uses recycled kitchen scraps and renewable sugarcane to make its cutting board, but that’s not the only reason I’d recommend it. The grippy reBoard stands up well to use, stays put thanks to silicone-covered corners, and features this nifty little circle in one corner for hanging up or even sliding all your chopped-up onions through.

***

The Pink Stuff

Now $4.95, originally $5.99 on Amazon

When the Pink Stuff says “miracle cleaning paste,” it means it. This stuff can tackle just about any kitchen mess – mold, rust, the remnants of an overzealous dinner party. It’s already pretty affordable, and even more thanks to Black Friday, so make sure to stock up.

***

Yeti Hopper Flip 8 Portable Soft Cooler

Now $160, originally $200 at Amazon

Yeti hardly ever marks down its products, which is exactly what makes this particular sale one you won’t want to miss. It’s only on the Firefly Yellow color, but Yeti is a standout for coolers for a reason: they’re indestructible and keep things cold for days. I was happy to suck up not getting a color of choice so I could get the 20% off.

***

Zulay Fish Spatula

Now $14.39, originally $17.99 at Amazon

A regular spatula’s great, but real pros use a fish spatula. It’s longer, more versatile, easier to wield, and super affordable – even more so thanks to this Black Friday discount. Take advantage of this sale, limited to Prime members, and earn yourself some cooking street cred among the real chefs.

The best cookware deals

JUST ADDED: Lodge Cast Iron Skillet

Now $24.99, originally $29.90 at Amazon

A cast iron skillet is like a good pair of denim: super sturdy and only gets better with time (so long as you care for it and season it properly). Lodge makes a hardy skillet that’s super affordable and will last forever, which is what makes this deal such a steal. Pay only $25 now, and get a skillet that you’ll use for a lifetime. Plus, this one comes with a silicone holder.

***

JUST ADDED: All-Clad D3 Stainless Fry Pan

Now $109.99, originally $169.99 at All-Clad

While purchasing the whole All-Clad cookware set is definitely an investment you won’t regret, spending $800 on a few pots and pans might not be in the budget this season. In that case, pull out one must-have piece. The All-Clad stainless steel fry pan is a workhorse. It’s sturdy, heats evenly and will cook to perfection. Get it this Black Friday for $60 off.

***

Nordic Ware Three-Piece Sheet Pan Set

Now $30, originally $41 at Amazon

Everyone needs a sheet pan. You can use it for baking cookies, easy fridge-clean-out sheet pan meals, and even sheet pan cake. Sheet pans don’t get super pricey, and a sales event like Black Friday makes them even more affordable. You can’t go wrong with Nordic Ware, and you can get three right now for just $30.

***

Le Creuset Cocotte

Now $21.96, originally $31.95 at Sur la Table

If you’re not quite ready to invest in a Dutch oven, much less a Le Creuset Dutch oven, try out one of the heritage French cookware brand’s small cocottes. You can use these for roasting garlic, serving dips and small batches of soup, or even making baked eggs. They’re already a pretty affordable piece of mini cookware, made even more so with this Black Friday discount. Get a few for yourself or to use as stocking stuffers.

Staub Pumpkin Cocotte

Now $49.99, originally $85 at Target

The Staub v Le Creuset discourse continues with Staub’s pumpkin-shaped take on the cocotte. This version is great if you want something a little more whimsical that you can take out for entertaining. It’s a little more expensive, though that’s offset by 41% off.

***

GreenPan Valencia Pro Ceramic Nonstick Frypan

Now $69.99, originally $99.99 at GreenPan

There’s a lot of confusing information out there about nonstick and ceramic nonstick pans. Generally, it’s recommended to use pure ceramic pans. But if you’ve really got your heart set on nonstick, GreenPan offers a safe option. Its frying pan, currently $30 off on the brand’s website, doesn’t use any potentially harmful chemicals such as Pfas, PFOA, lead or cadmium.

***

Great Jones Stud Muffin

Now $30, originally $45 on Great Jones

Great Jones is known for its vibrantly hued cookware and bakeware, and the brand’s muffin tin is no exception. It doesn’t just look pretty – it will bake everything from quiches to muffins to cupcakes to golden perfection.

***

Le Creuset Dutch Oven

Now $373.14, originally $434.95 at Amazon

As previously mentioned, you can’t get much better than a Staub or Le Creuset when it comes to Dutch ovens. A Le Creuset is a little rounder, including the handles – which can often make them slightly easier to grip. The only reason this didn’t get a top deal spot was because the sale on the Staub was a little better, but that doesn’t make this 14% off any less worthwhile.

***

Le Creuset French Oven

Now $159.95, originally $295 at Williams Sonoma

A French oven isn’t necessarily a must the same way a Dutch oven is – but this smaller, UFO-esque piece of ceramic enamel cookware is a great option for small apartment dwellers who just don’t have the space for a big, hulking pot. It’s the ideal capacity when cooking for one, and it’s currently more than $100 off.

***

All-Clad D5 Stainless-Steel 7-Piece Cookware Set

Now $699.95, originally $799.95 at Williams-Sonoma

Don’t let the sticker shock scare you off. This set is basically your Swiss Army knife of cooking, and includes every stainless steel pot or pan you absolutely need for the rest of your life. Not to mention All-Clad is the best of the best when it comes to stainless steel. These are sturdy pieces that consistently perform well, making them the ideal set to purchase at a discounted rate.

***

The best kitchen appliance deals

JUST ADDED: KitchenAid Silicone Stainless Steel Tongs

Now $11.99, originally $18.99 on Amazon

As with a cooling rack, you never think you need this until something happens to make you need it. A pair of tongs is especially versatile. You can use it to toss salads or pasta, flip meat you’re frying in the pan, or even give you extra arm length when reaching that mug on the top shelf. These KitchenAid silicone-tipped tongs are made of rust-free stainless steel. A set of tongs isn’t particularly pricey, but it’s still always nice to get a some extra dollars shaved off.

***

JUST ADDED: Moccamaster by Technivorm KBGV Select Coffee Maker

Now $247.95, originally $369.95 at Williams-Sonoma

This is the kind of drip coffee maker you would find in most diners. It’s a little larger than other models but for good reason. It features a copper coil boiler that heats to the optimal temperature for the richest and most balanced brew. It also comes in a variety of lovely colors, all for over $100 off.

***

JUST ADDED: Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro

Now $299.95, originally $399.95 at Williams Sonoma

The Breville Smart Oven is basically a small oven you can put right on your countertop. It can toast, roast, bake, broil, dehydrate, slow cook and even air fry – cooking everything to browned perfection. Obviously it doesn’t offer the same capacity as an actual oven, but you can fit a 14lb turkey or even a 5-quart Dutch oven. Get it now at Williams Sonoma for almost $100 off.

***

JUST ADDED: Breville Barista Express Espresso Machine

Now $499.95, originally $699.95 at Amazon

Here’s the hard but honest truth: you can only make espresso with an espresso machine. Everything else is just espresso-adjacent. The tough thing is, most espresso machines cost hundreds – even thousands – of dollars. Enter Black Friday. Breville makes some great espresso machines, but they can get pretty pricey. This classic Barista Express is on sale now for almost $200 off.

***

Kuhn Knife Set

Now $18.20, originally $24 at Amazon

If you’re a regular home cook, along with a chef’s knife, you definitely need serrated and paring knives. They don’t need to be anything fancy (though you certainly can splurge on something nicer). This set of two from Kuhn should do, especially at under $20.

***

KitchenAid Pizza Wheel

Now $12.49, originally $15.99 on Wayfair

Let’s be honest: your chef’s knife or kitchen shears won’t cut it when it comes to slicing your pizza. Literally. It’s time to get a pizza wheel. KitchenAid makes some stellar appliances, namely the best stand mixer, so you can trust its pizza wheel will be just as good.

***

Great Jones Cooling Rack

Now $20, originally $25 at Amazon

A cooling rack may seem like an extraneous thing to own … until you’ve got a fresh plate of too-hot cookies or want to crisp up vegetables in the oven. Still, if you’re not quite sold on the need for one, or just don’t feel like spending the money, then a sale like Black Friday offers the perfect opportunity to grab one at a super affordable price. This broccoli green Great Jones rack only costs $20.

***

Zwilling Enfinigy Personal Blender

Now $99.95, originally $139.95 at Williams Sonoma

As great as a Vitamix is, sometimes you just need a blender to make smoothies (and maybe a quick dip or pesto as well). If that’s the case, get a personal blender. This sleek model from Zwilling is easy to use and blitzes to velvety perfection. It’s a little pricey normally, but it’s marked down about $40 for Black Friday.

***

KitchenAid Tilt-Head Stand Mixer

Now $279.99, originally $449.99 at KitchenAid

If Vitamix makes the best blenders and Staub and Le Creuset corner the market on Dutch ovens, then KitchenAid sells the absolute best stand mixers. Any baker worth their salt knows this. They’re ultra-durable and can handle even the toughest of kneading tasks. They’re also super versatile, thanks to a suite of KitchenAid-branded attachments you can purchase to transform your stand mixer into an ice cream maker, meat grinder, pasta maker and more.

***

All-Clad Immersion Blender

Now $119.95, originally $149.95 at Williams-Sonoma

You’ll want an immersion blender, or handheld blender, if you just don’t have enough space for a full blender. While you probably won’t be making many smoothies with this, it is great for home cooks blending soups or sauces directly in a pot. Though All-Clad’s known for its quality stainless steel, it also makes a few reliable kitchen appliances – including an immersion blender that’s currently $30 off.

***

Dash Mini Waffle Maker

Now $10.99, originally $12.99 at Amazon

While you’re not going to be hosting a brunch party with this mini waffle maker, it’s great for college students or recent grads living in their first apartment. You can make just enough waffles to satisfy your craving without making a huge mess. Plus it works pretty well despite its small size.

***

The best kitchen cleaning deals

JUST ADDED: Fun Guy Mushroom Fridge Deodorizer

Now $10.49, originally $14.99 at The Container Store

If you have some weird smells coming out of your fridge, there’s a simple fix for that: just slide in a shallow dish of baking soda and it will help absorb all the smells. But if you want something a bit more whimsical, snag this mushroom-shaped deodorizer. You just put the baking soda in the body of the shroom, then let the compound trickle through the openings to help flush out all the smells. It might feel like a silly purchase, but hey – it’s only $15. Why not?

***

Elgood Reusable Dishwashing Cleaning Gloves

Now $11.89, originally $13.99 at Amazon

More than likely, the weather’s getting colder wherever you are. That change in temperature is never very forgiving on the hands. This winter, arm yourself with another layer of protection in the form of some sturdy rubber gloves that will help keep your hands from drying up post-dish duty. You can get this set of two for just over $10, which should keep you covered (literally) at least through winter.

***

Zeppoli Classic Dish Towels

Now $19.71, originally $29.98 at Amazon

Walk into a nice restaurant and you’ll likely find these very towels either in the kitchen or splayed out on the table to use as napkins (or both). They’re super sturdy, reusable and made of natural fiber. It’s only a smidge discounted, but you can get whole pack of 15 for just $20, which means you basically won’t need to worry about dish towels for at least the next year.

***

Preston Lane Luxury Hand Wash

Now $13.30, originally $19 at Amazon

You can never have too much hand soap pre-stocked and in your cabinets, because there’s nothing worse than turning around to wash your egg-yolk-covered hands, only to find you’re fresh out of soap. This handwash from Preston Line, the homewares line launched by a Ralph Lauren alumnus, smells lovely and is made using organic oils.
