Editor’s note: Black Friday is over, which means we’re no longer updating this post. But don’t worry: There are plenty of Cyber Monday deals to be had. Our kitchen and dining writer Emma Wartzman has rounded up the best Cyber Monday kitchen deals. You can also sign up for our email newsletter so you never miss a sale again.
As the kitchen and dining writer at the Strategist (and an avid cook), I spend a lot of my time finding the very best kitchen appliances, cooking tools and gadgets, serveware, barware, and dining-room décor. Many of these products are heavily discounted for Black Friday, the best time of the year to snag essentials (workhorse knives or dishwashing products) and to finally pull the trigger on higher-end items (like a top-of-the-line Vitamix blender and classic Le Creuset enameled pots and pans). And it’s just plain fun to shop for stellar pantry staples, too, like fancy tinned fish, tingly chili crisp, and high-quality finishing olive oil you can give as a gift.
But the sheer number of deals can be overwhelming — and we all know that decision fatigue can lead to a regretful purchase (or no purchase at all). To help you navigate the vast online world of sales, I rounded up some of the best kitchen products that are marked down right now. I prioritized items that are beloved by the chefs and recipe developers I’ve interviewed over the years, ones that have been recommended by prop stylists and top-tier hosts, and the things I depend on in my own kitchen. You’ll find selections, in alphabetical order, from some of my favorite smaller companies, like Material Kitchen and Fishwife, as well as choice picks from giant retailers like Amazon and Target.
I’m done updating this post and while some prices and stock might change, you can continue shopping through the weekend (and peruse the rest of our Black Friday sale roundups here). Sign up for our newsletter to stay on top of all the latest intel and check back on Cyber Monday for even more great kitchen deals.
Alessi’s sophisticated and fun tools have made frequent appearances on this site — and the ir sale is nothing to sleep on. I’m eyeing the stovetop tea kettle I’ve coveted for years, the citrus peeler one cook told us “delivers an almost ASMR-level of satisfaction,” and a stylish retro-looking toaster.
Amazon, of course, loves a good sale — but the massive number of discounted products it’s offering is a lot to parse through. That’s why I stuck with expert-endorsed, usually big-ticket items from reliable brands I’ve written about in the past: an ultrapowerful blender from Vitamix, our very favorite air fryer from Instant, and a crazy-good pepper grinder (yes, really) that I’ve never seen marked down before. For even more Amazon promotions across different departments, check out our dedicated post, too.

It’s on sale for 20 percent off through November 27, along with the rest of the brand’s products.
Brightland’s Black Friday sale means it’s actually smart to stock up on the brand’s California-made olive oils, vinegars, and honey, because the more you buy, the bigger the discount.

Food52’s shop is my go-to for some of the most beautiful and useful kitchenware around, including the East Fork bowls Molly Yeh loves, an all-encompassing (but not over-the-top) kitchen-utensil set, and some sturdy, stackable bodega glasses in several sizes. It’s offering 20 percent off sitewide and 30 percent off if you spend $300 or more. Just use the code CYBER at checkout.

Not only that, but if you hit $75, you’ll get a bonus Chef’s Gift Set that includes their chopsticks and chili crunch spoon automatically added to your cart.
If you’ve been eyeing an Always Pan on Instagram, now’s the time: It’s marked down 34 percent. You’ll also find deals on many other pieces of cookware and the Wonder Oven, the brand’s first-ever appliance — while the markdown isn’t huge, it’s finally back in stock after selling out days after it first dropped.
If you’re in the market for some special country-inspired tabletop decor, look no further than The Six Bells, where everything is up to 60 percent off during its “Black Sheep Friday” sale.
