Black Friday Cookware Deals (SO FAR!)

It's early November and we're a few weeks away from the official Black Friday, but some deals and sales are already starting to trickle in. One thing I have my eye on is how the tariffs are going to affect pricing, especially for European-made cookware. Will prices skyrocket or have companies found ways to manage the tariff impacts? I'm also looking at enameled cast iron from Staub and Le Creuset. There is always a battle between these two brands, and it seems every year there is one particular size or color or piece that is a screaming deal. So far, it looks like 7-quart round Staubs are in the $299 range in a variety of colors. This is a solid price based on previous years, and at least on this size, tariffs don't seem to have much effect. On the Le Creuset side, they have 8-quart oval pieces also at $299.

Deals I am waiting on: I'm expecting some sort of sale out of Breville. I've been using their Control Freak induction burner (used it today, as a matter of fact) and it's a great piece of kitchen gear, but expensive. Last year they were $300 or so off for Black Friday; I hope that one happens again.

De Buyer: There is already a sale on for carbon steel at De Buyer with code UNCLESCOTT and this affiliate link: SHOP NOW. You get 20% off carbon steel and free shipping. They will have a broader sale on other gear later, but this is the best price of the season on carbon steel and currently most everything is in stock.

I'm also looking for a good site-wide sale at Falk. Last year it was 25% off site wide, but it hasn't kicked in yet this year. I like the Falk copper cookware, and the copper core stainless line is nice too. If they go with 25% off, that's actually a lot of savings on pans that cost $400 or so. Browse Falk

All-Clad: Amazon currently has the 12" D3 frying pan with lid for $149 or so, which I think is a fair price these days. Im expecting some other deals to pop up soon, especially on All-Clad sets. Costco often has deals on All-Clad sets in the D3, D5, and Copper Core lines. A Costco membership just about pays for itself (maybe more) with the savings on one set of All-Clad.

Le Creuset: Amazon has the 8 qt oval dutch ovens for $299. SHOP NOW

Staub: Zwilling's Black Friday Sale is live with deals on some knives and some enameled Stuab cast iron pieces, and a few Demeyere pans: SHOP NOW

Lodge: Amazon has Lodge 6-qt enameled cat iron dutch ovens for $99. I've had one of these for years and it's performed flawlessly, and I note, I've purchased two others as gifts for family members. Solid value for a dutch oven without paying up for a Staub or Le Creuset. SHOP NOW

OK, the holiday shopping season is in boot-up mode! Get your credit cards ready  (or better yet, your husband or wife's cards... ha!).
