Cookware: depending on what you’re making, you literally can’t cook without it—be it a Dutch oven, cast iron skillet, saucier, or carbon steel pan.
But cookware quality can vary wildly—some brown unevenly, have uncomfortable handles, are hard to clean, or stain, chip, or scratch with the slightest scrape. It’s why we’ve tested cookware for years, with the aim of finding models that are actually worth your cash and storage space.
But what’s even better than finding a truly great piece of cookware is buying it on sale. We culled through our reviews to find the best early Black Friday cookware that’s discounted right now.
