Thanksgiving is finally here, but to be completely honest, we’re much more excited about Amazon’s massive Black Friday Sale. We’ve uncovered some major deals on our favorite tested kitchen tools, cookware, knives, and big-ticket appliances. Our Food & Wine Faves brings together thousands of the best kitchen products across multiple categories, tested and approved from years of insights.

Editor-tested and top-rated brands, including All-Clad, Lodge, Ninja, Vitamix, and more, are already discounted at up to 53% off, with prices starting at just $10.

Best Tested Appliance Deals

If you’ve been eyeing a big-ticket kitchen appliance that never goes on sale, now is the time to add it to your cart. In fact, we’ve spotted dozens of our tested favorites already on sale. You’ll find the editor-loved Anova Vacuum Sealer for just $99, slashed prices on the top-rated Crock-Pot Programmable Slow Cooker, and 32% off the Cuisinart Elite Griddler that aced our panini press tests.

We should also mention that Amazon is popping with deals on air fryers and air fryer toaster ovens right now. The Ninja 4-Quart Air Fryer — which we named one of our top air fryer picks due to its ideal 4-quart capacity and consistent cooking results — is currently on major sale for just $80. Two air fryer toaster ovens that aced our tests — the Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer Toaster Oven and Ninja Digital Air Fry Countertop Oven — are also on sale for more than 25% off. Both models offer at least 8 functions including air fry, toast, bake, roast, reheat, and broil while being compact and easy to use.

Vitamix Immersion Blender

We’re seeing steep discounts on two of our favorite Vitamix blenders: The Vitamix E310 Explorian Blender and the powerful Vitamix Immersion Blender that wowed us in our immersion blender tests. Out of all the immersion blenders we tried in the soup test, the Vitamix was the speediest. Equipped with a powerful 625-watt motor and a four-pronged blade, it pureed our mixture in just 20 seconds and produced the creamiest texture of any we tested. Because of this power, the Vitamix seems especially handy for large batches of soup. Plus, its 9-inch blending shaft is longer than most of its competitors, which gave us more leverage during cooking tasks.

Bodum Electric Milk Frother

You’ll also find slashed pricing on some of our favorite milk frothers and coffee makers, like 33% off the sleek Cuisinart Single-Serve Coffee Maker, 28% off the ChefWave Nut Milk Maker, which produced creamy non-dairy milk in minutes during our nut milk maker tests, and 35% off this compact and easy to use Bodum Electric Milk Frother that aced our milk frother tests.

Ninja 4-Quart Air Fryer

However, one of the best deals is this Ninja 4-Quart Air Fryer, which is on sale for 39% off. Vetted as the best small pick in our extensive best air fryer testing, the Ninja 4-Quart Air Fryer performed better than most large air fryers that we tested, plus it comes with more versatile presets. Offering much more functionality than just a convenient countertop convection oven, the Ninja can be programmed to air fry, roast, reheat, and dehydrate. Its compact size makes it a smart pick for individuals or couples, providing near-perfect cooking results on wings, shrimp, biscuits, and fries in our tests. The basket proved to be truly nonstick for easy cleanup, plus it’s super quiet. On sale for under $100, this is one of the best deals we’ve ever seen on this model.

Best Tested Cookware Deals

With holiday hosting in full swing, now is the time to stock up on cookware essentials. We’re seeing lots of coveted cookware pieces on sale for Black Friday from top brands like Caraway, Le Creuset, and Lodge, so now is a great time to update your cookware collection with a new cast iron skillet, frying pan, or Dutch oven. We’re seeing huge discounts on some of our favorite cast iron cookware pieces, including the Lodge Dutch Oven on sale for under $50. 

If you don’t want a full set, there are a few great deals on individual pots and pans, too. The Le Creuset Stainless Steel Roasting Pan, which earned top marks in our roasting pan tests for its oven-to-table versatility, is currently on sale for 30% off. The All-Clad D3 3-Ply Stainless Steel Fry Pan — our pick for best splurge in our stainless steel skillet tests — is on sale for 20% off. On sale for $99, the Our Place Always Pan 2.0 is a whopping 34% off right now. This is a great deal on the pan we named our best all-in-one pan pick during our testing of the best nonstick cookware sets.

Lodge Dutch Oven

A Dutch oven is a kitchen workhorse, but not all Dutch ovens deserve the title of a Food & Wine Fave. We put 24 models from top brands to the test to find the best overall picks. Named the best cast iron pick in our best Dutch oven tests, this 5-quart pick from Lodge wowed us with its durability. Beautifully constructed and super sturdy, this Dutch oven performed well in cooking rice and chicken thighs. It’s on sale right now for 34% off its original price and ready to get to work on your stovetop this holiday season.

Caraway Nonstick Ceramic Cookware Set

Several of our favorite cookware sets are currently on major sale. The Calphalon 10-Piece Pots and Pans Set is on sale for 33% off and earned a spot as a value pick on our list of the best cookware sets due to its 3-ply stainless steel construction, which we found conducted and retained heat very well during testing. The Caraway Nonstick Ceramic Cookware Set — which was named the best overall pick in our ceramic cookware tests thanks to its beautiful, modern design and included pan rack and lid holder — is currently on sale for under $400.

Lodge Cast Iron Skillet with Red Silicone Hot Handle Holder

But if there’s one piece of cookware you’re planning to buy this Black Friday, make it this Lodge 10.25-inch Cast Iron Skillet. Lodge is known for making cast iron cookware that is durable enough to last for years, so this pan is well worth the $25 sale price. In our cast iron skillets tests, we were wowed by this pan and awarded it the coveted title of our best overall pick. During our tests, this skillet provided even browning across the board, and we found cornbread was easy to turn out thanks to the included silicone handle. This skillet showed consistent heat distribution and even searing, and the helper handle makes it easy to maneuver.

• Lodge Cast Iron Skillet with Red Silicone Hot Handle Holder, $25 (originally $41)
• Caraway Nonstick Ceramic Cookware Set, $476 (originally $595)

Best Tested Knife Deals

We’ve tested hundreds of kitchen knives, from paring knives and chef’s knives to bread knives and carving knives, so let’s just say we get pretty excited when we see some of our favorite chef-worthy blades steeply discounted. Some highlights from Amazon’s current Black Friday knife sales include picks from two of our favorite brands: Global and Shun. The Global 8-Inch Chef’s Knife won us over during our tests of the best chef’s knives for its lightweight design, and it’s on sale for one of the lowest prices we’ve ever seen at $100. For a more high-end option, we recommend the Shun Cutlery Classic Blonde 8-Inch Chef’s Knife, which is on sale for 20% off, as well as the Shun Cutlery Classic Boning & Fillet Knife, on sale for $140. Both Shun knives impressed us during testing with their gorgeous wood handles and sharp, precise blades. 

Cuisinart Electric Knife

For effortlessly slicing through holiday ham and turkey roasts, prime rib, and more, you might be on the hunt for deals on electric knives. We’re seeing steep discounts on the powerful Cuisinart Electric Knife, which sliced through the competition during our tests of the best carving knives. We especially liked this knife’s serrated blades, lightweight feel, and easy-to-use design.

Global Ikasu Knife Block Set

If you’re looking for a brand new knife block set to complete your kitchen setup or to gift the advanced home chef in your life, don’t miss this deal on the Global Ikasu 7-Piece Knife Block Set. We tested a similar set from Global and named it our pick for the best modern knife block set. It’s on sale for $250 at a massive 44% off. This is one of the lowest prices we’ve ever seen on this excellent knife block set. This particular knife set includes the sharpest chef’s knife we’ve ever tried, plus six other knives that are equally lightweight, well-balanced, and low-profile.

Zwilling Henckels Steak Knife Set

Another standout knife deal we spotted is this razor-sharp Zwilling Henckels Steak Knife Set, which is currently on sale for under $50. During our tests of the best steak knife sets, we found these attractively priced knives to be a pleasure to use, noting that their sharp serrated blades worked well to slice through steak as well as produce. Although they’re lightweight and comfortable to hold, they still feel quite sturdy. These steak knives are dishwasher-safe, and since the handles are also made from stainless steel, a quick polish after drying will make them dinner table-ready. If you’re planning to serve a spectacular holiday roast, you’ll want to add these sharp picks to your cart and toss the mismatched set from yesteryear.  

Best Tested Kitchen Tool Deals

Part of the equation of being a great home cook is skill level and technique, but every home cook needs a toolkit of essential kitchen tools to make mealtime magic. We’ve spent years testing the best kitchen tools and gadgets, so we have a bit of an upper hand on spotting the best tools to buy when they go on sale. Right now, we’re seeing major deals on tools we’ve tested, including an editor-favorite TeakHaus Edge Grain Carving Board on sale and major savings on the Maverick Digital Instant Read Thermometer and Kizen Digital Meat Thermometer, which aced our instant-read thermometer tests.

Longzon 4-in-1 Knife Sharpener

Between holiday meal prepping and entertaining guests, the last thing you should worry about is a dull blade. We put 22 knife sharpeners to the test, considering their durability, grip, ease of use, and overall value, and this pick from Longzon earned a top spot on our list.  Awarded the best value pick in our knife sharpener tests, Longzon’s 4-in-1 Knife Sharpener proved to be a sturdy and reliable manual sharpener. During our tests, it effectively brought a dull knife back to a sharp blade, and we like that we can use this tool to sharpen our favorite pair of kitchen shears, too. This essential tool is deeply discounted for nearly 53% off right now.
