Editor’s note: Black Friday has ended, so we’re no longer updating this post. If you want to shop Cyber Monday deals, see our roundup of the best Cyber Monday kitchen deals here.
Black Friday — the mega event of our year — is officially here. The deals have been flowing already, with more being added to the mix for the next several days. As the Strategist’s kitchen and dining writer of several years, I know how to sift through the madness and compile the very best sales for your tidy perusing pleasure.
There are discounted offerings from smaller companies like Great Jones (where one of my own most-used baking dishes is more than 40 percent off) and Made In (whose stainless-steel pieces rival All-Clad’s and Dutch-oven competitor Le Creuset). There are great deals from larger retailers, too, like Sur La Table and Williams Sonoma, both of which have slashed prices on Cuisinart and Breville appliances, top-tier knives, and more. The markdowns on tableware are also looking great this year; I’ve uncovered discounts on beautiful ceramics and some of my favorite glassware. All of this and more is rounded up below — with even more to come, so check back here regularly for the latest. And in the meantime, take a look at all the Black Friday deals we think are worth diving into.
Deals I Personally Think Are the Best
All the items below are more than 20 percent off (so objectively just very good deals). But more than that, they’re items I think are integral to cooking well and with greater ease day in and day out for years to come. The Global knife set is a stellar lineup, with a chef’s knife, bread knife, serrated utility knife, and paring knife (trust me: Those are all the blades you’ll ever need). The nesting Staub baking dishes are durable and versatile, bake food evenly, and look nice enough to set right on the table. And Made In’s stainless-steel trio of skillets is some of the highest quality I’ve ever had the pleasure of making meals in.
Alessi’s designs are always top-tier — somehow modern-feeling and timeless at the same time, and often a bit playful, too. Most of their goods are on sale for 25 percent off, with some up to 50 percent off, including this orange peeler (specific, but so satisfying), an attractive electric kettle, and a sweet corkscrew that looks like a parrot. Like some other brands below, this one is chalk-full of great holiday gifts.
Amazon, of course, loves a good sale — but the massive number of discounted products on offer is a lot to parse. Here, I stuck with expert-endorsed appliances from reliable brands I’ve written about in the past: an ultrapowerful blender from Vitamix, our very favorite air fryer from Instant, one of the most attractive and best-brewing coffee makers on the market, and more. For even more Amazon promotions across different departments, check out our dedicated post as well.
Brightland makes some of our favorite olive oils, vinegars, and honey. For its Black Friday sale, the brand is offering 20 percent off on orders over $100, 25 percent off on orders over $200, and 30 percent off on orders over $300, plus free shipping at all three levels. These goods are crowd-pleasing holiday gifts and host gifts during peak party season — so stock up.
Crate & Barrel has a swath of standout items on sale. It’s offering up to 45 percent off kitchen goods from the likes of KitchenAid (I always say Black Friday is the best time to buy a stand mixer), Philips (that’s a highly recommended air fryer), Ooni (our best-in-class pizza oven), and more. It’s also a great resource for classic, durable tableware, which is discounted up to 30 percent.
Dusen Dusen isn’t strictly a kitchen brand — but they do make quite a few bold and playful items to make your space feel especially delightful. They have lots of patterned textiles, plus some additional items like a salt and pepper grinder set and kitchen timer. The sale is 20 percent off sitewide through December 3, with some select items even more.
I own a lot of pieces from Falcon Enamelware, and it has quickly become one of my favorite brands for the kitchen. Now until December 2, they’re offering up to 50 percent off select items. Everything (as the name suggests) is made from durable enamel — but designed in such a way that makes the material look extra nice. Below are some of my choice picks. Use code BLACKFRIDAY24 at checkout.
Fellow, maker of many of our very favorite coffee products, has marked down select gear by 20 percent from now until December 2. You can buy its electric kettle, which features precise temperature control and a gooseneck spout for clean pouring; its coffee grinder, which evenly and quickly pulverizes coffee beans for your daily brew; its sleek insulated travel mug; and more.
Fly by Jing’s pantry staples are a must-have. From now through December 2, it’s offering up to 50 percent off all its products, including its tingly and deeply savory Sichuan Chili Crisp, sweet and spicy dumpling Zhong sauce, and stacked gift boxes (including the mini one below, which, while only a small percent off, I’m including because I think it would make a great stocking stuffer).
Food52’s sale, which goes through December 2, is 25 percent nearly everything in the shop. It’s my own go-to for products that hit on both form and function, and a place I always scan for holiday gifts. Below, find some choice picks like Dansk’s Scandinavian enameled saucepan that comes in a dozen colors, endlessly useful condiment bowls I keep in my own cabinet, our very favorite steak knives, and more. Use code 25OFFHOLIDAY at checkout.
Great Jones is offering up to 50 percent off much of its cookware from now until December 2. There are great discounts on some of my own favorite items, like the baking dish I pull out all winter long and the colorful nonstick sheet pan nice enough to double as a serving tray.
Hedley & Bennett is known for its chef-approved aprons. But in the past few years, the brand has expanded beyond its signature product to make knives (that we very much like), other linens like pot holders, and — this just in — very good-looking stainless-steel and silicone kitchen utensils. Its Black Friday sale is another tiered one: 20 percent off when you spend up to $149 (which you’ll see reflected below), 25 percent off when you spend between $150 and $249, 30 percent off when you spend between $250 and $349, 35 percent off when you spend between $350 and $449, and 40 percent off orders $450 and above.
Jono Pandolfi’s Black Friday sale is its only one of the year, with 15 percent off sitewide through December 2. The brand makes ceramics for prominent restaurants across the country and came up multiple times recently when we asked expert cooks and hosts about their choice tabletop pieces — especially the bowls and serving set. They would make really special holiday gifts.
Made In’s sale will last all the way to December 8 with items up to 30 percent off. You also get a free (expensive!) gift when you buy certain sets. There are markdowns on knives and tableware — both of which I’ve tried and both of which are great. But I’m most excited about its cookware. The stainless-steel pieces rival All-Clad’s and the Dutch oven rivals Staub and Le Creuset.
Material Kitchen’s whisk, glassware, recycled-plastic cutting board, and supersharp shears all get heavy use in my kitchen — and pro cooks love the rest of its cooking utensils and knives, too. Black Friday is its biggest sale of the year, with up to 40 percent off sitewide through December 4 (certain items are already selling out, though — so I’d get on it). Take an additional 10 percent off if you spend $300 or more.
Our Place’s sale is up to 40 percent off the entire site through December 2. You can snag the Instagram-famous Always Pan for less than $100, but the items I recommend most from the brand are for the tabletop. These glasses are some of my favorites, and I really like its stoneware pieces, too.
Sur La Table’s Black Friday sale always offers a plethora of fantastic items with big discounts. The deals are noteworthy with up to 60 percent off big-name brands like Cuisinart, Le Creuset, Staub, All-Clad, Zwilling, and Shun. And I’d like to give a special shout-out to its own line of dinnerware, highly recommended by two Strategist staffers.
Williams Sonoma is another one-stop shop for big discounts on big-name brands. Its sale is up to 50 percent off plus free shipping on tons of items. I’ve pulled some choice picks from the likes of Breville, Global, Lodge, KitchenAid, Emile Henry, and more.
