It’s a tale that’s old as time: Expensive taste on a modest budget. As a food writer, I prioritize high-quality and long-lasting cookware in my kitchen, but it feels almost physically painful to fork over my hard-earned dollars for full-priced pieces. Whenever autumn rolls around, I’m already filling my cart with Black Friday hopefuls and meticulously tracking sales at top retailers. Perhaps you’re an avid shopper like me — in which case, Nordstrom’s Black Friday sales practically mark next weekend as a holiday. Can’t wait that long?
The good news is that early deals are already dropping, and Nordstrom is offering first dibs with an early Black Friday sale. You’ll even find discounts on the top brands in its repertoire.

Best Nordstrom Cookware and Bakeware Deals
High-quality cookware often arrives with a hefty markup — solidifying Black Friday as a rare chance to grab something functional with a brand name that backs it up. Personally, I’ve earmarked a few frying pans and mini cocottes to expand my cabinet collection ahead of holiday festivities.
Nordstrom’s pre-Thanksgiving sale rivals modest sales at any other time of year. It’s the perfect occasion to snatch a Le Creuset braiser you’ve been eyeing (under $170, no less), or try a sturdy 11-quart Cuisine::pro stockpot for your next batch of soup. Shop limited-time deals on the best cookware brands, up to 68% off.

Le Creuset 8-Quart Enameled Dutch Oven
Nordstrom
When it comes to Black Friday deals, Le Creuset always goes fast. Secure this classic 8-quart Dutch oven while it’s still and stock — and while we’re a week away from the biggest shopping day, it’s already 37% off. Nordstrom considers this enameled dish a “kitchen workhorse” — it’s heat-resistant up to 500°F, stainproof, has built-in lid stabilizers, comfortable handles, and a dishwasher-safe finish.
Cuisine::pro 12-Inch Frypan
Nordstrom
On the other hand, upgrade your current frypan with a stainless steel version from Cuisine::pro. The brand highlights its chemical-free makeup and “impact-bonded base,” which may help to cook more evenly. It’s compatible with most stovetops (including induction) and is squarely 50% off this week.
Nordstrom
Best Nordstrom Knife Deals
This week, you’ll find slashed prices on a large swath of Cuisine::pro’s knife sets and individual knives, including all-purpose and specialty pieces. Alternatively, you might consider the brand’s cutting board set or its three-step knife sharpener. As far as sellout risks go, Nordstrom notes that Viking’s 15-piece steel knife and acacia block set is going fast. (That one’s marked down by $75, by the way.) Reinvigorate your toolset before the heaviest days of holiday cooking, or take the opportunity to spoil a friend in the industry. Either way, you can save up to 79% on knives at Nordstrom this week.
- Cuisine::pro 5.5-Inch All-Purpose Knife, $25, originally $85

Cuisine::pro Sabre 9-Piece Knife Block
Nordstrom
This set is among the most-discounted kitchen deals on Nordstrom’s site. Consider Cuisine::pro’s knife bundle as an affordable starter knife set for the budding home chef — the sleek wooden block holds a chef’s knife, bread knife, carving knife, carving fork, utility knife, paring knife, kitchen shears, and a sharpening steel. Nordstrom originally listed the bundle at $480, but it’s yours for just $100 this week.
Cuisine::pro 5.5-Inch All-Purpose Knife
Nordstrom
If you’re keeping yourself on a strict budget this Black Friday, try sticking to the basics. That includes Cuisine::pro’s all-purpose knife — a 5.5-inch blade that’s crafted from double-beveled Japanese steel and finished with a weighted handle. The brand recommends reserving it for vegetable peeling and fruit prep, but it’s an all-around handy paring knife. Snag it for a whopping 70% off.
Nordstrom

Out of all the sales on flashy, top-name items this Black Friday, dinnerware often gets overlooked. (Making it your opportunity to sneakily upgrade your kitchen or thoughtfully gift a new set to a friend.) Much of Nordstrom’s kitchen section is slashed to 50% or more, including platters, wine glass sets, French presses, and more. Considering all the winter weddings on the horizon, Black Friday is also an excellent time to pick up a Villeroy & Boch silverware set or sophisticated wine chiller for the happy couple.

Villeroy & Boch Mademoiselle 64-Piece Set
Nordstrom
Luxurious dining is, yes, within arm’s reach with this irresistible Villeroy & Boch sale. There’s a lot to love about this extensive silverware set, which serves 12 guests and includes several larger serving utensils. If you need any further convincing, it’s also dishwasher-safe and is recommended by Nordstrom shoppers with years of reviews.
Hayden Set of 3 Nibble Bowls
Nordstrom
Hosting during the holidays means that there will be a lot of finger food, and what better way to display all your small bites than keeping them contained in these speckled porcelain bowls. They’re perfect for snacks year-round and, when not in use, stack neatly for easy storage. They’re also microwave- and dishwasher-safe.
Nordstrom
Best Nordstrom Kitchen Tool and Accessory Deals
And finally, we’re presenting the most delightful section of them all — the kitchen accessories.

You can scoop up sales on brands like Cuisine::pro, Le Creuset, and Nordstrom’s in-house line, starting at just $15.

Le Creuset 2.2-Quart Enameled Whistling Cloche Kettle
Nordstrom
At the end of a long winter day, there’s few things more precious than a warming mug of tea. Build on that cherished routine with a sturdy traditional kettle, such as this enameled Le Creuset model. It’s built for a range of stovetops, including induction burners, and glazed with a stain-resistant coating. A similar model ranks among one of our favorite purchases of 2025.
Le Creuset Stoneware Santa Pie Bird
Nordstrom
Revive the lost art of pie birds — yes, a beloved tool for ensuring doneness and crispiness throughout — with this festive little friend from Le Creuset. The hollow ceramic sculpture allows the pie to release steam from the filling (and thus create a perfectly-baked holiday pie). And at just under $20, it makes an affordable stocking stuffer.
It’s often a race to fill your digital cart with all the Black Friday deals you’ve been coveting — and Nordstrom’s early-bird deals on Le Creuset, Cuisine::pro, and Villeroy & Boch give you a leg up. Shop these price-slashed kitchen deals before they disappear next week.
