Staub Enameled Cast Iron Round Dutch Oven

A Staub Dutch oven can only be rivaled by a Le Creuset Dutch oven. Both are high-quality pieces of French-made enamelware that’ll last for years and years to come—though the Staub might eke out the Le Creuset when it comes to durability. It’s got a black interior that allows it to conceal wear over time, which wins it a top spot as one of our favorite Dutch ovens. Get a 7-quart size from Williams-Sonoma right now for $170 off and rest easy knowing you’ll get your money’s worth (and then some).

DEAL: Staub 7 Qt Enameled Cast Iron Round Dutch Oven

Le Creuset Dutch oven

Still, you shouldn’t discount the Le Creuset: Many cooks prefer the Le Creuset’s light interior because it allows you to monitor the level of browning on your food better. In terms of braising ability and versatility in moving from the stovetop to the oven, the two Dutch oven brands are equal. And Le Creuset’s enamel coating will last forever—you just might have to give it a good scrub to get rid of discoloration.

DEAL: Le Creuset Signature Enameled Cast Iron Round Wide Dutch Oven

Lodge Cast-Iron Skillet

Staub Pumpkin Dutch oven

Look, we don’t usually recommend anyone buy seasonal- or holiday-specific cookware or tableware (ever) because you’ll get far more use out of versatile evergreen pieces.

Cuisinart 14-Cup Food Processor

Cuisinart is another brand name that’s practically synonymous with its best-selling product; this time, I’m talking about food processors. The brand introduced the first food processor to the American market in 1973, and it’s held the hearts of many home cooks ever since. The brand’s 14-cup model has been a favorite in the BA test kitchen for years, and it’s on sale for $50 off right now—just in time for all of your holiday entertaining prep work.

Watch us test the Typhur Dome air fryer!

Typhur Dome Air Fryer

This Black Friday, don’t just settle for any old basket-style air fryer—treat yourself to sleek, splurgey model that vaguely looks like an alien probe. The Typhur Dome is our favorite air fryer upgrade. It’s fast, powerful, offers a wide temperature range to make a multitude of things, and is super big with over 150 square inches of cooking surface area. It doesn’t need any preheating and will cook food faster than a lot of the other models we tested.

DEAL: Typhur Dome Air Fryer

Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro

For those in shopping for an air fryer toaster oven, you can’t get much better than the Breville Smart Oven. It’s the most versatile air fryer we tested and includes a variety of easy-to-use extra features that elevate the cooking experience, but don’t feel like overkill. It can bake, broil, roast, slow-cook, dehydrate, and, air-fry, and fit food as big as a whole chicken.

DEAL: Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro

Wolf Gourmet Elite Countertop Oven

The Wolf Gourmet Elite is basically a mini convection oven. It’s got the same advanced temperature control and probe thermometer you can expect out of a regular Wolf oven, and it’s also a lot bigger than the average countertop oven—all qualities that make it one of our favorite toaster ovens. It even uses convection cooking, so it can double as an air fryer. That size does unfortunately make it heavier than other toaster ovens and it’s also pretty pricey, but sales on Amazon and Williams Sonoma can at least help take the edge off of that cost.

DEAL: Wolf Gourmet Elite Digital Countertop Convection Toaster Oven (WGCO150S)

All-Clad Electrics Stainless Steel Immersion Blender

If you simply haven’t got the budget or counter space for a whole Vitamix blender, then an immersion blender might be the way to go. These are basically handheld blenders you can store in a drawer or cabinet, and take out whenever you need. Vitamix makes their own immersion blender (which you can also find on sale), but our editors prefer the All-Clad immersion blender. It features a high-speed Turbo button, and the blade is positioned a little higher than on other immersion blenders—meaning it better sucks even the chunkiest of vegetables into its vortex.

DEAL: All-Clad Electrics Stainless Steel Immersion Blender

Ninja Creami

Is it an ice cream maker? Not exactly. In order to use the Ninja Creami you need to freeze all your contents ahead of time and then use it to blend them up. It’s sort of like a consumer version of the Pacojet, if that means anything to you. If it doesn’t, just know that it’s the thing for making sorbets and smoothie bowls.

BUY IT: Ninja Creami Deluxe 11-in-1 Ice Cream & Frozen Treat Maker

Ninja CREAMi 7-in-1 Ice Cream Maker

Instant Pot Pro 10-in-1 Pressure Cooker

The Instant Pot “craze” might be over, but we still love having the opportunity to have pulled pork and brisket at a moment’s notice. If you’re just getting into the world of electric pressure cookers, this 10-in-1 model has all the features you’ll need and more. Yeah, it can slow cook and pressure cook, but it can also make yogurt and bake bread.

DEAL: Instant Pot Pro 10-in-1 Pressure Cooker

Philips Soda Maker Machine

The Philips soda maker can put out bubbly, spicy water with the best of them, and it has a slicker look than most. But unlike some of the other beautiful countertop soda makers (looking at you Aarke) the Philips is actually quite affordable.

DEAL: Philips Sparkling Water Maker

Our Place Appliances

We’re obsessed with the Our Place Wonder Oven and Dream Cooker, the brand’s answer to a multipurpose countertop oven (that can also air fry) and multicooker. We Dream Cooker is one of the best electric pressure cookers we’ve used. It doesn’t have a ton of highly specific presets, which means you can use it for more nuanced cooking styles. The intuitive display just requires you to set a pressure level and time. The sear mode also puts a gorgeous crust on whatever meats you’re about to cook. The Wonder Oven is large enough for a whole chicken or a half-batch of cookies, and it looks cute on your countertop, too.

Technivorm Moccamaster KBGV Select Glass Brewer

Before the Fellow Aiden and Ratio coffee machines knocked it out of the top position, Technivorm’s Moccamaster long reigned as the best drip coffee maker—and it still is a really great coffee maker. It’s super simple to use and makes a tasty cup of coffee. It does take up counter space and doesn’t look as sleek as the Ratio, but it’s a high-quality, durable model you can rely on for many mornings to come.

DEAL: Moccamaster 53933 KBGV Select 10-Cup Coffee Maker

Nespresso Vertuo Plus Coffee and Espresso Machine by De’Longhi

DEAL: Nespresso Vertuo Plus Coffee and Espresso Maker By De’Longhi

You can adjust the settings so your coffee is more or less strong, and it even has a mode for making iced coffee.

Fellow Stagg Pour Over Coffee Maker

Fellow is one of our favorite brands for all things coffee gear, and their pour over maker is no exception. The double walled glass carafe will keep your coffee hot for much longer than single-walled options like a Chemex, and thoughtful design features like a gasket that helps secure the dripper to the carafe make it a joy to use. With a two-serving capacity, it’s an ideal pick for households of two or people who need a boatload of caffeine in the morning.

DEAL: Fellow Stagg Pour-Over Coffee Maker Set

Espro P7 French Press

Espro’s P7 French press features two superfine micro mesh filters, which makes for some of the absolute smoothest coffee we’ve ever had from a French press. It has a 32-ounce capacity, so you can make enough coffee for a small crowd, and the metal keeps your coffee warmer for longer.

Material grippy reBoard

We generally recommend getting one or two of three types of cutting boards—a plastic cutting board, a wood board, or a rubber board. If you’re looking for the best plastic cutting board, then lucky you—our favorite pick is on sale right now thanks to the Material early Black Friday sale. The board is made of renewable sugarcane and recycled plastic, and features smart design features like a small corner hole to push diced onions through and silicone corners that help prevent slipping (hence the name “grippy”). The board can show signs of wear and scratching over prolonged use, still the silicone corners keep it virtually stuck in place and the stylish colors it’s available in mean you won’t hate leaving it out on the counter. It’s discounted now during Material’s Kinder Kitchens Sale, which allows shoppers to pay it forward this holiday season and give a donation from their discount to One Love Community Fridge.

Made with heavy duty stainless steel, this splatter shield won’t feel flimsy while you’re holding it, plus it’s made to fit most cookware.

Dreamfarm Citrus Tools

While it may seem like reinventing the wheel for no reason, Dreamfarm’s flat citrus juicer is actually kind of a game changer. We’ve found that it presses lemons and limes with ease, getting the maximum amount of juice from each fruit. Paired with this zester, this set makes a great stocking stuffer for the home cook or mixologist on your list, but we wouldn’t blame you if you just bought one for yourself.
