It’s officially November, Mariah Carey has already smashed her pumpkins, everyone is planning Thanksgiving meals, and early Black Friday kitchen deals are starting to drop. I know what you’re probably thinking: How can there be three weeks of Black Friday deals? forward Black Friday? Nowadays, sales sometimes start as early as October and last until the main event on November 29, giving you plenty of time to start perusing the discounts and getting a head start on your gift list. You may still have to wait until Black Friday to see the biggest price drops, but we’ve rounded up some deals from major retailers that will tide you over until then.
Early Black Friday Kitchen Deal Highlights
Cookware Deals
Staub enameled cast iron round dutch oven
Staub Dutch ovens are only comparable to Le Creuset Dutch ovens. Both are high-quality enamelware made in France that will last for many years – although in terms of durability, the Staub may have the edge over the Le Creuset. It has a black interior that hides wear and tear over time, which makes it top of our list of favorite Dutch ovens. Buy a 7-quart bottle from Williams-Sonoma today for $160 and you can rest assured you’ll get your money’s worth (and more).
Lodge cast iron skillet
A good cast iron skillet is like a good old pair of jeans – take care of it and it will last you many years and see you through any situation you can imagine. Lodge makes our favorite budget skillet for under $50, and you can get it for even cheaper through one of Amazon’s early Black Friday kitchen deals .

The Made In Nonstick Fry Pan combines a stainless steel base with a nonstick coating, making it one of our top nonstick recommendations. Thanks to Made In’s cookware set sale going on, you can now buy an entire three-piece set of these pans at a discount.

Vitamix 5200 Blender
Vitamix makes the best blenders on the market, and one of our favorite models – the 5200 – is on sale now. While you don’t get the high-tech presets you might have with other Vitamix models, the 5200 is perfect for anyone in the market for an easy-to-use yet powerful and high-quality blender at an unbeatable price. This early Black Friday deal.
KitchenAid Tilt Head Stand Mixer
If Vitamix dominates the blender world, KitchenAid dominates the stand mixer world. It powerfully whips, kneads, and stirs anything you put on it, and the bottom of the bowl is slightly tapered so that all ingredients come into contact with the sides and get a more even mix. It’s the best of the best – you won’t want to miss out on this early Black Friday appliance deal. If you’re a fan of KitchenAid, check out more deals from the brand.
Ninja Air Fryer
When we put a bunch of basket air fryers together, this 5.5-quart air fryer from Ninja won the top spot. While most air fryers have a temperature threshold of 400°F, this model has a “Max Crisp” button that simply raises the temperature to 450°F. Indeed, this setting allows you to get crispier, faster food. It also has a dehydration function and can cook at very low temperatures for long periods of time. One small design feature makes this appliance easier to clean than the competition: This air fryer doesn’t have a basket, but instead comes with a “fresher plate” that allows for maximum air circulation. It is easier to remove and scrub than a basket. Join the air fryer movement this Thanksgiving by taking advantage of Wayfair’s generous sale.
