Le Creuset Enameled Cast Iron Round Dutch Oven

For years, Le Creuset’s Dutch oven has been our top recommendation thanks to its incredible heat retention and distribution. It evenly sears a pork shoulder and fries up crispy plantains, and its enamel interior is also hard to stain and easy to clean. Ahead of Black Friday, you can already grab it for $107 off.

Breville Joule Turbo

Due to its accuracy and speed, this immersion circulator dethroned our previous top pick. Because of its magnetic base, the Joule can stand itself up in Dutch ovens and stockpots. It can also heat up a gallon of cold water in just 22 minutes and can cook steak in 41 minutes on Turbo mode.

Zeppoli Classic Kitchen Towels

We love our kitchen towels here at Serious Eats and think that these Zeppoli towels are simply the best. Made of 100% cotton, they have a 140% absorbency rate and are only $1 apiece right now. They’re great for sopping up spills, handling hot pots and pans, drying dishes, and more. Toss them in the washer and they’ll come out like new.

The dark enameled interior is also impossible to stain and this nesting set makes storage extra easy. Plus, it’s a whopping 54% off, saving you nearly $600.

Staub Enameled Cast Iron Everything Braiser

Among the braisers we tested, this one from Staub was one of our favorites thanks to its wide, shallow base that can sear meatballs and cook pork cheeks to tender perfection. The black matte interior is also durable and impossible to stain, no matter what’s cooked in it. This Williams Sonoma-exclusive comes with a glass lid for easily tracking your cooking progress. You can snag it for $130 off.

Breville the Smart Oven Pizzaiolo Pizza Oven

Sleekly designed with a stainless steel body and clearly marked control knobs, this indoor pizza oven heats up quickly, reaches temperatures over 750°F, and turns out fluffy pizza with noticeable char spots. It recovers its target temperature in the time it takes to prepare the next pizza, and now that it’s $200 off, it’s definitely worth grabbing.

Rubbermaid Brilliance Food Storage Containers

This assorted set of our favorite plastic food storage containers is truly leakproof. During our tests, there wasn’t a single stray drop of blue-dyed water and the crystal-clear material makes it easy to see what’s inside. Plus, the containers resist odors and stains, even when it comes to turmeric. With all the leftovers you’ll no doubt have this holiday season, it’s worth grabbing a set or two on sale.

Yosukata Carbon Steel Wok Pan

Made from heat-responsive carbon steel, this slick Yosukata wok comes pre-seasoned and is easy to clean. Its wooden handle keeps hands cool while cooking, too. This wok aced our egg-frying and stir-frying tests, and it’s a reasonable $57.

Tramontina Professional 10-Inch Nonstick Frying Pan

We believe that if you must get a nonstick pan, make it a cheap one. This Tramontina skillet releases fried eggs, omelets, and crepes like a dream. It’s also lightweight and comes with a removable silicone grip that makes it easy to handle the cookware on the stovetop. Already well-priced, it’s now 53% off ahead of Black Friday.

All-Clad Electrics Stainless Steel Immersion Blender

Throughout all of our immersion blender tests, the All-Clad model impressed us with its speed and power. It chomps through ice cubes, purées celery, and emulsifies mayonnaise with ease. The silicone top also makes it easy to grip and maneuver, while the easy-to-read dial makes for intuitive speed control.

Breville 16-Cup Sous Chef Food Processor

We were simply dazzled by the powerful motor on this food processor, not to mention its impressive collection of attachments. In just 20 pulses, you can have mirepoix ready to go. Plus, its slicing blade offers 24 thickness settings and the wide chute allows for ingredients to be added whole. Save $100 off on the Breville Sous Chef before Black Friday even starts.

Anova Culinary Precision Vacuum Sealer Pro

This vacuum sealer produced an impressively strong seal that held steady for three months in the freezer during our tests. It easily seals up wet ingredients and allows you to immediately sealing bag after bag for a fast, uninterrupted workflow. Snag it for 37% off—you may need it for all your Thanksgiving leftovers.

KitchenAid Artisan 5-Quart Stand Mixer

Gozney Roccbox Outdoor Pizza Oven

The Gozney Roccbox is $100 off and has been one of our favorite pizza ovens for seven years and counting.

It makes incredibly fluffy pizza with leopard-spotted charring and can be fueled with gas, wood or charcoal.

Ooni Karu 16 Multi-Fuel Outdoor Pizza Oven

With so many Ooni pizza ovens out there, it can be hard to know which one fits your needs most. When we compared all nine of them, the Karu 16 was one of our favorite multi-fuel ovens.
