We’ve tested thousands of pieces of cookware — new releases, viral social media pans, old favorites to make sure they’re still the best, and everything in between. So, we know a thing or two about what cookware is worth buying and what to skip. Quality cookware can be expensive; You get what you pay for, but the top-performing stainless steel cookware set may not always be within budget. That’s why we wait all year for Black Friday to shop for deals on the best cookware that’s Food & Wine editor-approved.
Amazon’s Black Friday sale is the best time of year to stock up on Food & Wine favorite brands, including All-Clad, Le Creuset, Made In, Caraway, and more, at unbeatable discounts. There are so many Amazon Black Friday deals to sort through that it can be daunting, but don’t worry, we’ve got your back. We did the work of digging through all the discounts to find only the best deals on lab-tested, editor-approved, and home-cook-loved cookware.

Caraway 12-Piece Nonstick Ceramic Cookware Set
Amazon
This Caraway ceramic set is one of our most thoroughly tested and top-performing cookware sets. It tops our list of non-toxic cookware, as well as our reviews of ceramic, nonstick, and induction-safe cookware. No matter how many times we test this set, it continues to impress us. The unique ceramic nonstick coating is unrivaled — in one of our tests, it looked brand-new after searing a steak. Its ultra-slick coating means food flat out does not stick to the surface, saving you a headache and elbow grease when it comes time to clean up.
Made In Cookware 10-inch Stainless Frying Pan
Amazon
We love pretty much any cookware that Made In makes; it’s a brand you’ll often see at the top of our cookware roundups. The 10-inch skillet in this set is our favorite stainless steel skillet, thanks to its incredibly even heating and durable construction. This useful set is nicely discounted for Black Friday.
Amazon

Merten & Storck 12-Inch Pre-Seasoned Carbon Steel Frying Pan
Amazon
Chefs’ best-kept secret is carbon steel pans. They combine all the best parts of cast iron, stainless steel, and nonstick cookware. This carbon steel pan holds heat exceptionally well, like cast iron, and heats evenly, like stainless steel — not to mention, it’s non-reactive. It has a layer of nonstick seasoning but can be used at higher temperatures than traditional nonstick pans. In testing, we named it best value even before the sale price; it performed just as well as more expensive pans, and its nonstick coating was ready out of the box.
Made In Cookware 10-Inch Stainless Steel Frying Pan
Amazon
We test stainless steel pans regularly, and we have developed favorites. Made In always performs well thanks to its excellent heat conductivity and durable construction. Our editors love this 10-inch stainless steel pan, and it is a workhorse you’ll use every day. We’d gladly pay the standard $129 price, but at $20 off, it’s an instant add-to-cart.

Best Amazon Black Friday Deals on Cast Iron Cookware and Dutch Ovens
Every kitchen needs cast iron cookware. Whether that’s an heirloom-quality cast iron skillet, a versatile Dutch oven, or a stunning enameled cast iron skillet (or all three), no cookware collection is complete without this staple. Unlike many other cookware materials, cast iron absorbs and retains heat for extended periods. It can get ripping hot for the best-seared steak of your life, cook a fruit cobbler over the campfire, and even roast veggies on the grill. Don’t pass up these deals on cookware that can last a lifetime (with the proper care, of course).

Lodge 10.25-Inch Cast Iron Skillet with Red Silicone Hot Handle Holder
Amazon
Lodge has been in the cast iron game for almost 130 years, and in that time, it’s managed to produce a nearly flawless cast iron skillet. It was an easy choice for our best value pick when we tested cast iron skillets. It gave us exactly what we were looking for in a cast iron: heat retention, durability, and even browning, plus extra features like a pour spout and a helper handle that just make it easier to use. We think it’s an incredible value at the regular price, but on Black Friday, it’s a must-buy.
Le Creuset 7.5-Quart Enameled Cast Iron Signature Chef’s Oven
Le Creuset
When you think of a Dutch oven, a Le Creuset is likely what comes to mind. If you love the classic 7.25-Quart Signature Round Dutch Oven, you’ll also love this unique chef’s oven. It’s made of the same high-quality enameled cast iron as the standard Le Creuset Dutch oven, but it offers a larger surface area and more dramatically sloped sides. This means it’s perfect for soups, stews, braises, and hearty one-pot meals that start with getting a good sear on the stovetop and finish in the oven.

Best Amazon Black Friday Deals on Specialty Cookware
Once you’ve built a cookware collection with all the basics, it’s time to expand your collection with woks, crepe pans, grill pans, and more niche pieces. Since they’re not necessarily everyday pots and pans, specialty cookware can often fall to the bottom of the priority list. But during Amazon’s Black Friday sale, the deals are just too good to pass up.
- HexClad 10-Inch Hybrid Nonstick Wok, $94, originally $119
- Edging Casting Enameled Cast Iron Round Bread Oven, $59, originally $118
- Lodge Cast Iron Rectangular Reversible Griddle, $47, originally $50
- Viking 20-Inch Reversible Cast Iron Grill Pan, $80, originally $160
- All-Clad HA1 Hard-Anodized Nonstick Griddle, $65, originally $80
- Le Creuset Enameled Cast Iron Multifunction Braiser with Grill Pan Lid, $270, originally $415

- Blue Diamond 12-Inch Hybrid Nonstick Stainless Steel Wok with Lid, $50, originally $70
HexClad 10-Inch Hybrid Nonstick Wok
Amazon
Woks work best with incredibly high-heat cooking, and nonstick cookware usually can’t handle high temperatures, which is why you don’t see many nonstick woks. HexClad combines the wide shape of a wok with its unique hexagonal coating, which is safe up to 900°F. Even if you think you won’t use a standard wok very often, the ultra-rounded interior of this pan makes it excellent for other types of cooking, such as braising and making soups, so you’ll get even more mileage out of it.
Edging Casting Enameled Cast Iron Round Bread Oven
Amazon
Bread bakers, rejoice: Gone are the days of burning your forearms while lifting a piping hot loaf of bread out of your Dutch oven. The Edging Casting Enameled Cast Iron Round Bread Oven has a shallow bottom to set your loaf on and a dramatically domed lid for the perfect oven spring. When it’s time to remove your boule, all you have to do is remove the bread cloche and slide your bread right out — no more reaching into a tall, scalding pot.
Cookware is something you use every day, and the quality can really make or break a recipe. During Amazon’s Black Friday sale, you can ditch your old pots and pans and upgrade your kitchen with all the top brands like Le Creuset, Made In, Ninja, Lodge, and more, all for less. But procrastinators, beware: These Black Friday deals will sell out lightning-fast, so get them before they’re gone!
