The Black Friday chaos is upon us! Whether you’re perusing for discounted kitchen staples like reusable beeswax wrap or want to get started on holiday gift shopping, my fellow Serious Eats editors and I found deals upon deals that are actually worth it. We spotted our favorite Vitamix blender for $200 off (fantastic!), an outrageously good deal on a KitchenAid stand mixer, and more price slashes on kitchen items we’ve tested (and tested, and tested) and love. 

The Best Black Friday Kitchen Gear Deals, at a Glance:

  • A Rare Discount on a Luxury Coffee Maker: Ratio Six Coffee Maker (White)

    Ratio Coffee - Series 2 Six Coffee Maker

    Amazon

    We almost missed this deal, because it only applies to the white colorway. Thank goodness we're detail-oriented! The Ratio Six is the longtime winner of our coffee makers review, and two members of our team (Rochelle and Riddley) own and use one daily. It mimics the act of pour-over coffee, so each cup tastes handmade. It rarely goes on sale, so this deal is a huge score.

  • Dreaming of an Air Fryer Toaster Oven? Get This One: Breville the Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro

    Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro

    Amazon

    This air fryer toaster oven is a jack-of-all-trades: It air fries crispy wings and French fries, toasts bread and bagels evenly, and bakes and roasts efficiently. I use it all the time, and I promise you will too. It’s $100 off for a limited time, which is a great deal.

    Amazon

    Food processors can be so pricey, but here's a secret: One of our favorites costs hundreds less than its competitors. The Cuisinart 14-Cup food pro has a huge capacity and a simple interface. It comes with two discs which is, honestly, all you need. Right now it's on sale for nearly 40% off.

  • Beeswax Wrap That Actually Sticks: Bee’s Wrap Reusable Beeswax Food Wrap Roll

    Beeswax Roll

    Amazon

    If you’re reducing your plastic consumption, consider beeswax wraps, which are usually a cotton cloth coated in, you guessed it, beeswax. They’re reusable and washable, and this roll from Bee’s Wrap was one of my favorites when I tested them. It stuck surely to even the slickest of food storage containers and stayed put even when shaken.

  • Sturdy Swedish Dishcloths That Our Editors Swear By: SuperScandi 10-Pack Swedish Dishcloths

    Swedish Dish Cloths

  • A Blender Worth Buying Now That It’s Almost $200 Off: Vitamix 5200 Blender

    Vitamix 5200 Professional-Grade Blender

    Amazon

    You haven’t bought a Vitamix 5200 blender yet? What are you waiting for? A sale, you say? Fair enough—it ain’t cheap. But, lucky for you, it’s currently on sale this Black Friday for $200 less, one of the best deals I’ve seen. I’ve had this blender for years, and it still tackles pulverizing and blending without a hitch.

  • A Vacuum Sealer for Sous Vide Cooking (or Freezer Storage): Anova Culinary Precision Vacuum Sealer Pro

    Anova Precision Vacuum Sealer Pro

    Amazon

    A good vacuum sealer should be fast and sucky—literally! No air pockets shall remain. This one from Anova sucks, in the best way possible. It also creates a super-tight seal, so you can plop a bag into a sous vide water bath without dinner getting soggy.

  • Non-Toxic Microwave Containers for Leftovers (and More!): Anyday 8-Piece

    Anyday The Everyday Set

    Anyday

    These sturdy glass containers from Anyday are safe for the microwave—it’s what they’re made for. Not only are they great for storing and heating leftovers, but they can also be used to cook food. (And not just steamed broccoli or peas!) Anyday has recipes for poached eggs and even actually good sloppy Joes, both of which I’ve made.

    KitchenAid Artisan Series 5-Quart Tilt-Head Stand Mixer in black

    Amazon

    Maybe you know an avid cookie maker who’s still beating dough with a hand mixer and complaining about how their wrist hurts. If you’re feeling generous, gift them this compact stand mixer from KitchenAid, and they’ll cease their complaints. It’s powerful enough to tackle most baking projects, and the handle on the bowl makes it easy to scrape batters into pans. No more complaining! More cookies and baked goods! Add in a $150 Black Friday discount, and I’d call that a win, win, win.

  • A Keurig Coffee Maker That’s Almost Half-Off: Keurig K-Supreme Single Serve K-Cup Pod Coffee Maker

    Keurig K-Supreme Single Serve K-Cup Pod Coffee Maker

    Amazon

    No, we’re not the biggest fans of pod coffee makers, but we’re also not oblivious: People love ‘em. So we reviewed Keurigs (and Nespresso machines) to find some that are worth their salt. This Keurig K-Supreme took top spot because it’s petite and brews hot and iced coffee (if you’re a New Englander, you know this is essential year-round). It’s nearly $100 off for Black Friday, so if you’re a pod person and are looking for a new brewer, here you go.

  • A Mop That Makes Cleaning Kitchen Floors Easy: O-Cedar EasyWring Microfiber Spin Mop

    O-Cedar EasyWring Microfiber Spin Mop & Bucket Floor Cleaning System

    Amazon

    You know what’s funny? I hate cleaning, and I tested mops. But I have to admit: Once I met the O-Cedar mop, I actually kind of…enjoyed…mopping. Seriously! The mop was super easy to wring out with the pump bucket, and it scrubbed up gunk with minimal effort. My kitchen floors now shine like they did before I bought my house (whoops). Anyways, $40 for a mop seems pricey because it’s not the sexiest thing to buy, but $30? Now you’re talking.

  • A Microwave Oven That Won’t Burn Popcorn: Toshiba EM131A5C-BS Countertop Microwave

    Toshiba EM131A5C-BS Microwave Oven

    Amazon

    My sister-in-law doesn’t have a microwave—and I am truly shook. How do you quickly reheat leftovers? Pop an impromptu bag of popcorn? Desperately soften a frozen stick of butter when a craving for cookies hits? Maybe I’ll get her our winning microwave since it’s on sale this Black Friday. In our tests, it evenly popped popcorn kernels without any singeing, and frozen mac and cheese and lasagna came out perfectly heated through.

  • One of Our Favorite Ceramic Cookware Sets: Caraway Cookware and Minis Set

    Cookware & Minis Set

    Caraway

    Ceramic pans are having a moment as folks look for PFAS-free cookware. But not all ceramic is created equal: I tested a set of pans that chipped after literally two uses. Yikes! Not this set from Caraway, though. In our tests, it seared, stewed, boiled, and more without so much as a scratch. This comprehensive set is 47% off for Black Friday, so you can buy all your ceramic pots and pans in one fell swoop.

  • A Set of Chic (and Sharp!) Steak Knives: Material the Table Knives 

    Material Table Knives

    Steak knives don’t have to be big and burly, because not everyone who craves a bloody rare Tomahawk wears flannel. Enter these delicate but still deadly sharp steak knives from Material; when I say my whole team loves them, I mean it. They’re the perfect weight and slice through tough and tender steak alike with little effort. I have owned and loved this set for a few years now, and it’s still going strong.

    A good pair of slip-on kitchen shoes is essential while cooking. Ever precariously place a knife on the edge of the counter? Spill pasta water all over yourself? Watch, with horror, as a glob of hot oil spurts from a pot and, as if in slo-mo, sails right towards you? You’ll want to protect those sensitive feet. One of our favorite pairs, this cushy number from Snibbs, is on sale for a limited time. Its spacious toe box and supportive sole make it a great fit for just about any home cook.

  • A Set of Our Favorite Stainless Steel Skillets: Made In Stainless Clad Frying Pan Set 

    Stainless Clad Frying Pan Set

    Made In

    The Made In stainless steel frying pan has been our winner since 2020. It’s relatively affordable, durable, and the angled handle makes it easy to sauté vegetables, swirl butter, and move the pan to a different burner. This set of three skillets (8, 10, and 12 inches) is 30% off for Black Friday, which is a great deal—you won’t need any other pans.

  • The Serving Platters I Use for Holiday Hors D'oeuvres: Our Place Serving Platters

    Our Place Serving Platters

    Our Place

    I’ve become a bit of a serving platter collector: Dishes just look so much better when they’re set on a beautiful plate. And this set of two from Our Place is one of my favorites for serving up canapés. It comes with two platters, and each has a little rim to keep food contained. They make even the most boring of nibbles, like carrot sticks, look fancy. Plus, you can choose from yummy-sounding colors like the onyx Char, paprika-tinted Terracotta, and creamy-looking Spice.

  • The Best Immersion Blender: All-Clad Stainless Steel Immersion Blender

    All-Clad Stainless Steel Immersion Blender

    Amazon

    Trying to blend batches of hot bisque in a stand blender is annoying and potentially explosive, and bringing out a full-size appliance for a single smoothie is a drag. An immersion blender can blitz directly in soup pots and smoothie cups, and the All-Clad model is the most powerful one we tested. It crushed ice without issue and whipped up homemade mayonnaise “almost instantly.”

    Amazon

    Instant Pots make phenomenal gifts—it’s how multiple editors on our team acquired theirs! This one is our favorite because it pressurized more quickly than other models we tested, and its pot had easy-lift handles for removing it from the base. It’s $70 off during Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales.

The Karu 2 was one of the most affordable models we tested. Its compact size means it heats up in a flash, plus it’s multi-fuel compatible, so you can use it with wood, charcoal, or gas. And, of course, it baked up perfect pies in a little over a minute.

We called this the “Cadillac of dish racks” in our review, thanks to its anti-microbial construction and spacious capacity.

    This holiday season, don't let your cakes and brownies stick to the pan. Our favorite nonstick square pan is on sale for $10 off the original price. The silicone coating is clear, which doesn't alter the baking time. (Most nonstick coating is dark, which can cause baked goods to burn.)

  • A Home Coffee Bar Must-Have: Instant Pot MagicFroth 9-in-1 Milk Frother

    Instant MagicFroth Milk Frother

    Amazon

    We L-O-V-E this standalone milk frother. It makes the creamiest microfoam for espresso drinks, and it can even work magic on plant-based milk and cold foam. Unlike many frothers we've tested, this one offers a temperature range (140˚F to 160˚F), and it has a large capacity so you can make multiple drinks at once. It's $20 off for Black Friday, but we're betting this deal won't last long.
