A Stainless Steel Skillet That’ll Last a Lifetime: All-Clad D3 Stainless-Steel 12-Inch Fry Pan
Amazon
A high-quality stainless steel pan can perform well for decades with the right care, and All-Clad pans are some of the best on the market. We like that the D3 cookware line is heat-responsive and oven-safe to 600°F. With this deal, you get an editor-approved skillet for $30 off.
Serious Eats
An Affordable Stainless Steel Skillet: Tramontina 12-Inch Stainless Steel Skillet
Amazon
Want a stainless steel skillet option that's even more wallet-friendly? We get it! This one from Tramontina is our budget pick, but it still impressed us in our tests. It seared salmon and chicken without sticking, and it was induction-compatible. During Amazon's early Cyber Monday sales, you can get it for $20 off.
Serious Eats
A Beginner-Friendly Carbon Steel Pan: Merten & Storck Pre-Seasoned 12-Inch Carbon Steel Frying Pan
Amazon
This pan is always affordable, but it’s even more so during Black Friday and Cyber Monday weekend. If you’ve been intimidated by the seasoning process of carbon steel before, this frying pan offers a good starting place because it comes pre-seasoned with a flawlessly smooth coating. During testing, we liked that it was nearly nonstick out of the box, allowing us to fry eggs and flip crepes without a hitch.
Serious Eats
A Lovely Ceramic Casserole Dish Set: Staub Three-Piece Rectangular Baking Dish Set
Amazon
Wow your friends and family by showing up to your next potluck toting these sophisticated baking dishes from Staub.

You can get them for just $100 while they're on sale—a real bargain.

A Winning Saucier: Made In Stainless Clad Saucier
Made In
Fine, we’ll say it: Sauciers are way better than saucepans. They have rounded edges, so your creamy sauces and cooked pasta noodles won’t get stuck in the corners, and they’re super easy to whisk in. This one has an especially ergonomic handle that stays cool while you cook.
Our favorite saucier from Made In. Serious Eats
The Best Sheet Pan: Nordic Ware Naturals Baker's Half Sheet, Set of 2
Amazon
If you’ve been cooking on the same thin, warped sheet trays for years, this is your sign to throw them out and get an upgrade. Potatoes, cakes, and cookies all cooked evenly on these baking pans in our tests, plus their heavy-duty construction means they resist warping. Score two for $14 each. You can also get a three-piece set for $11 off.

A Nonstick 9x13 Baking Pan for Picture-Perfect Brownies: USA Pan Bakeware Rectangular Cake Pan
Amazon
This pan is the full-sized version of one of our favorite baking pans. We particularly love its PFAS-free, silicone-based coating that releases cakes easily. Its straight corners are perfect for producing photo-worthy brownies and bars, though the best part is that it’s over 30% off during early Cyber Monday sales.
Though it may seem like a small thing, a metal pan makes very neat edges. Irvin Lin
Our Favorite Baking Pan: Nordic Ware 8- x 8-Inch Square Cake Pan
Amazon
During our tests, this pan made evenly browned cakes and released baked goods with just a dusting of cooking spray. It was also quick to clean, thanks to its rounded corners.
Serious Eats
A Diamond-Infused Ceramic Egg Pan: OXO Ceramic Nonstick 12-Inch Frying Pan
Amazon
This PFAS- and lead-free pan has a ceramic coating that’s enhanced with diamonds for extra durability. Indeed, it didn’t scratch or chip when we scraped it with metal utensils during our tests, and it released every over-easy egg we cooked in it without sticking.
Serious Eats
A Budget-Friendly Dutch Oven: Lodge 6-Quart Enameled Cast Iron Dutch Oven
Amazon
Braises, bread, soups, stews, sauces, seared meats—Dutch ovens can do it all and more. If you’re not ready to invest in one of the heritage brands, we recommend this affordable option from Lodge instead. Its handles are easy to grip (even with oven mitts), and it browned food just as well as more expensive models during our tests.
Serious Eats
A Small Enameled Braiser You’ll Use Constantly: Le Creuset 1.5-Quart Enameled Cast Iron Braiser
Amazon
Enameled braisers are dinnertime heroes. They heat evenly, can cook at high temperatures, and can simmer soups as well as sear steaks, plus their coating means you don’t have to worry about maintaining the seasoning as you do with traditional cast iron. You can even let them soak without fear of rusting. This 1.5-quart model from Le Creuset is on the smaller end, making it ideal for one- to two-person households.
Serious Eats
A Trusty Bundt Pan: Nordic Ware Original Bundt Pan
Amazon
Few desserts feel as celebratory and nostalgic as a bundt cake. The cakes we made in this pan had gorgeously distinct ridges and lines. Its light nonstick coating ensured our cakes browned easily and unmolded like a charm.
Serious Eats
A Rondeau You Didn't Know You Needed: Made In Stainless Clad Rondeau
Made In
What is a rondeau, exactly? It’s a common cookware item to find in restaurant kitchens and is similar to a braiser, except it's made of stainless steel instead of enameled cast iron. It’s great for sautéing, shallow-frying, and braising. We recommend this durable Made In one, which is almost $40 off right now.
Serious Eats
A Classy Baking Dish: Dowan Casserole Dish, 9x13 Ceramic Baking Dish
Amazon
Your signature hot dish or dessert deserves to be served in style. This casserole dish is one of our favorites, even after we tested it against baking pans that cost significantly more, because of its broad handles and sturdy ceramic construction.

A Thoughtfully Designed Pot: Made In Stainless Clad Saucepan

Serious Eats
A Lightweight Cast Iron Pan Worth Investing In: Field Company No. 8 Cast Iron Skillet
Amazon
We're the first to admit that you can get great cast iron for less than $100—but we think it's worth investing in artisan-crafted cookware when you can. This cast iron skillet was more than a pound lighter than the leading budget competitor we tested, and the "smooth, silky surface" released everything we cooked in it—including fried eggs—without trouble. Get it for 20% off now, while the sale lasts.
Serious Eats
An Approachable Wok We Love for Under $35: Souped Up Recipes Carbon Steel Wok
Amazon
This is our favorite wok to recommend to beginners because it has a wide, flat base that keeps it steady during cooking and a wood handle that stays cool and manageable. Best of all, it comes pre-seasoned, so you can get stir-frying as soon as you unbox it. Its budget-friendly price is even budget-friendlier during Amazon's early Cyber Monday deals.
Serious Eats
$50 Off a Fantastic Stockpot: Misen 8-Quart Stainless Steel Stockpot
Misen
An eight-quart stockpot is the perfect size for simmering batches of homemade bone broth, boiling a crowd's worth of pasta, and making enough soup for meal prepping or freezing. This one boiled water in just 30 minutes during our tests (up to 20 minutes faster than its competitors) and heated evenly, thanks to its five-ply cladding.
Serious Eats
A Vibrant Loaf Pan: Great Jones Breadwinner
Amazon
Baking up your favorite sandwich bread has never been more fun than in this vivid loaf pan. In a sea of stainless steel, neutral-toned ceramics, and aluminium baking dishes, the Breadwinner stands out. It bakes wonderfully tall loaves, too, making it a looker and a doer.
Serious Eats
One of Our Favorite Egg Pans: Le Creuset Essential Non-Stick Ceramic Shallow Frying Pan
Amazon
Le Creuset doesn't just make phenomenal enameled cookware; this ceramic-coated skillet easily released fried eggs, crepes, and omelettes during our tests, making it one of our favorite non-toxic, nonstick picks. During early Cyber Monday sales, you can get it for $25 off.
Serious Eats
A Stove-to-Oven Sauté Pan: Misen 3-Quart Sauté Pan
Amazon
This pan can sear a whole batch of meatballs, simmer them in tomato sauce, and then go into the oven to brown cheese on top—it does it all. We also like its comfortable, straight handle, and wide cooking surface. Get it for 25% off right now.
Serious Eats
The Best Muffin Pan: USA Pan Nonstick Muffin Pan
Amazon
This pan is coated with a silicone-based nonstick layer, meaning your muffins and cupcakes will release cleanly (even without liners!). Its light color also ensures baked goods brown evenly, and we loved how easy it was to clean when we tested it.
