Best Early Black Friday Deals at Amazon

We found major markdowns on some of our favorite kitchen brands, including OXO, Ninja, Vitamix, and Nespresso. You can shop for convenient gadgets, like a clip-on colander, or gift-worthy appliances, like a speedy ice cream maker.

Ninja Crispi 4-in-1 Portable Cooking System

We’re trading in our black plastic air fryers for the Ninja Crispi, a cooking system that sits atop a glass food storage container. We love the “Recrisp” setting that restores leftovers to their original crunchy texture, and the glass container comes with a lid for taking your food on the go or storing it in the fridge. The newest colors are even included in the Black Friday discount. 

All-Clad D3 12-Inch Stainless Steel Frying Pan

Our favorite splurge stainless steel skillet, the 12-inch All-Clad D3 frying pan has three layers of metal that allow for quick, even heating. The pan is oven- and broiler-safe up to a whopping 600°F, and it’s durable enough to survive years of consistent use.

Best Early Black Friday Deals at REI

REI famously doesn’t have a Black Friday sale, but the camp kitchen goldmine of a retailer is holding a holiday sale through November 24. Plus, members get 20% off one regularly priced item. We spotted deals on camping must-haves, like outdoor cookware sets and soft-sided coolers, and coffee gear, like travel tumblers and pour-over sets.  Find a durable tumbler for your next camping trip or a gift for the outdoors-lover in your life, from Stanley, Yeti, LifeStraw, and more.

Stanley Classic Vacuum French Press

Many outdoor adventurers prefer a French press when camping because it’s quick, easy, and doesn’t require electricity to get your morning cup. This vacuum-insulated model from Stanley will keep your brew hot, and the 3-layer filter comes apart for a cleaning in the dishwasher.

LifeStraw Go Stainless-Steel Water Filter Bottle

LifeStraw makes one of the best filtered water bottles, and the only one I would trust when sourcing water outdoors because it filters out most bacteria, parasites, and microplastics as you drink. The insulated bottle is great for keeping your drink cold for hours, and the straw makes it easy to sip on the go while hiking.

Best Early Black Friday Deals at Nordstrom

We found dozens of kitchen deals at Nordstrom’s early Black Friday sale, including the editor-loved Our Place Wonder Oven and an egg-shaped knife block that’s a whopping 69% off. You probably won’t find a lot of $10 kitchen gadgets at this retailer, but you will find steep discounts on cookware, kitchen tools, and appliances from high-end brands, like Le Creuset and Viking.

Le Creuset Signature 8-Quart Oval Enamel Cast Iron Dutch Oven

Le Creuset makes one of the most iconic Dutch ovens, and this oval version is an impressive $175 off. A similar enameled cast iron pot from the brand performed well during our testing, proving itself as an heirloom-quality piece. You can find 10 colors on sale at Nordstrom, including the quintessential flame and sea salt.

Viking 15-Piece German Steel & Acacia Wood Knife Block Set

You can’t underestimate the importance of good knives, and this 15-piece Viking set has everything you need for holiday cooking and a beautiful knife block for storing. Featuring steak knives, a pair of scissors, a chef’s knife, and more, this steel cutlery will last without rusting, and it’s dishwasher-safe.

Best Early Black Friday Deals at Williams Sonoma

I love shopping at Williams Sonoma, but it’s often out of my price range — until the retailer’s Black Friday sale rolls around. I’ve already found outdoor pizza ovens, heirloom-worthy cookware, countertop ice makers, and espresso machines for hundreds of dollars off. Save on Stanley Tucci’s nonstick collection with GreenPan, a classic stand mixer, and so much more while these deals last.=

Silpat Sweet and Savory Mats, Set of 2

Ditch parchment paper this holiday season with these reusable silicone-coated baking mats that are nearly $20 off. The editor-loved Silpat mats won’t curl or warp while protecting your sheet pans from wear. Plus, they provide an easy-to-clean, nonstick work surface for rolling out or kneading dough.

GE Profile Opal 2.0 Ultra Nugget Ice Maker with Side Tank

You don’t necessarily need a nugget ice maker, but this one is worth splurging on if it’s on your wish list. The GE Profile Opal 2.0 can produce up to 38 pounds of ice per day, a boon during holiday hosting. It’s relatively quiet, won’t spill or leak, and is a rare $180 off at Williams Sonoma.

Best Early Black Friday Deals at Target

Ever since I got my first apartment, I’ve looked forward to Target’s Black Friday deals. The sale is a great opportunity to stock up on budget-friendly kitchen essentials and fun gadgets, such as vegetable choppers, coffee machines, and air fryers, for less than other retailers. I discovered deals on Nespresso, Caraway, KitchenAid, and more, starting at $13.

• Nordic Ware Naturals Baker’s Half Sheet, $13, originally $23 at target.com

Caraway Home 10.5-Inch Ceramic Fry Pan

I recently replaced my scratched nonstick cookware with this Caraway frying pan and haven’t looked back. The Teflon-free cooking surface is so nonstick it’s actually slick, which makes it a breeze to clean, and I’ve noticed that it heats up a lot faster than my previous nonstick skillets. Plus, you can pop it in the oven up to 550°F.

Aroma 8-Cup Rice Cooker

An 8-cup version of one of the best rice cookers you can buy, this simplified Aroma model is super easy to use with just two settings: cook and warm. It produces perfectly fluffy rice every time, and you can even steam your protein and vegetables at the same time for a convenient one-pot meal.

With the exception of REI, we know that these retailers will likely be unveiling bigger and better discounts on Black Friday. However, there’s no telling what deals will end before then, so it’s best to snag sale items while you can. Whether you’re eyeing Joanna Gaines’ holiday collection or need non-toxic kitchen utensils to replace your black plastic ones, there are many more Black Friday discounts to come.
