Black Friday isn't technically here yet, but apparently nobody told the kitchen brands. Early sales are already popping up, with discounts on everything you could ever possibly need in your kitchen. Of course, not every markdown is worth getting excited about, so we've rounded up the deals that actually are.

Air fryer deals
Our Place's Wonder Oven Pro is already on sale, making this a good time to snag one of our favorite countertop upgrades for less. Developed with James Beard Award–winning chef J. Kenji López-Alt, this eight-in-one oven impressed us in testing, crisping everything from Brussels sprouts to fries up to twice as fast as our winning Breville. We're also seeing early Black Friday markdowns on air fryers from Ninja and De'Longhi, so there are plenty of ways to get your crispy-food fix for less.

Stand mixer deals
If there was a crown jewel of stand mixers, it's the KitchenAid. And luckily, the brand is celebrating Black Friday early with 30 percent select appliances through November 17. That includes the Artisan Series 5-Quart Tilt Mixer that writer Alaina Chou calls “the best option for most home cooks." For smaller spaces, the 4.5-quart Deluxe Series is just $300.
Coffee machines on sale
The early Black Friday coffee deals are brewing. The Braun BrewSense is our pick for the best budget drip coffee maker, with senior commerce editor Noah Kaufman praising its ability to brew coffee that's “bright rather than stale or watery.” On the espresso front, De'Longhi's Magnifica and La Specialista machines are also seeing discounts, including the La Specialista Touch, which Kaufman calls “the best offering from the brand yet.”

Blender deals
A good blender can make quick work of everything from morning smoothies to homemade sauces, soups, and nut butters. And if you don't need a full-size machine, an immersion blender is a pretty handy (and much easier to store) alternative. We love the Braun MultiQuick, which earned the top spot in our best immersion blenders round-up. If you have the space, the Oster Vortex Plus is editor-loved, too, and is currently just $60.
Countertop appliance deals
Early Black Friday sales are a good opportunity to save on some of the bigger-ticket gadgets. Our picks? The Cuisinart Ice Cream Maker earned the No. 1 spot on our list of best ice cream makers thanks to how well it churns out delicious results.
Craving something savory? Two of our favorite Breville food processors are on sale, too. They're a splurge, but they're worth it while prices are super slashed.
Cookware on sale
Bon Appetit writer Tiffany Hopkins said when she opened her Great Jones Hot Dish last Christmas, she “suddenly understood that beautiful form could coexist with function.” Lucky for you, Great Jones is offering 25 percent off site-wide with code SQUASH, making this a particularly good time to shop its editor-loved colorful Dutch ovens, stainless steel pans, and bakeware.
Or, for a more classic piece, snag a Tramontina Try-Ply frying pan that editors call a “great budget pan.”

Kitchen tool deals
Early Black Friday sales are a nice excuse to stock up on those everyday essentials, as well as upgrade a few tools you've been making do without.

Food storage deals
Anyday's Anydeli containers are a Bon Appétit Gear of the Year winner, and for good reason: They're sturdy, versatile, and have surprisingly secure lids. Even better, they're on sale for early Black Friday, alongside the brand's glass food storage containers.
I'm also a big fan of Caraway's glass containers (I've had them for two years and they look brand new), which make storing leftovers feel a little less like fridge Tetris. They're a splurge, which is why now is the perfect time to snag 'em.
Vacuum and cleaning sales
The Shark Stratos is currently on sale, and it's worth a look if you're short on storage space: In our testing, we named it a standout for smaller spaces, thanks to its folding design that makes it easy to tuck away between uses. Caraway's 45L trash can is also on sale, and I can honestly say it's one of the prettiest things in my kitchen.
