For the Early Birds No Images? Click here   It's Basically Black Friday Already: Here Are the Deals We Love​ Well, shoppers, it looks like Black Friday has started early, and the deals are rolling in. We're sure you're being bombarded by all manner of discount announcements and emails, and we don't want to be a part of that noise. That's why we're going to feature only our tried-and-true favorites—essential equipment that we've tested extensively and love to use in our own kitchens. Here's what we've found so far.    The 6-Quart Instant Pot Is $69.99​ The golden child of last year's Black Friday is on sale again for a really great price. We've been using the Instant Pot for a while now and appreciate both its affordability and its versatility. Use it for brewing quick(er) beef stock or a super-hearty chile verde.    Our Favorite Cast Iron Skillet Is $12​ This is a great price for a pan that might even outlive you. Once you have a cast iron pan, you can make countless recipes, both sweet and savory. Some personal favorites include Stella's chocolate skillet cake and beautiful (and seasonal!) yeasted pumpkin rolls. Staub 4-Quart Cocottes Are Under $100 These gorgeous Staub cocottes usually retail for closer to $400. But for the past few days, they've been sitting pretty at $99.95. The slightly larger version was one of our picks for the best Dutch oven, but this size is plenty large enough to make warming stews and roasts all holiday season long. The Anova Is $99​ The Anova is the perfect gift for any food nerd in your life who wants to get...even nerdier. And at $99, it's a steal. Grab one today, then head to Kenji's beginner's guide to cooking sous vide for tips and tricks on how to make the most of this high-tech tool.   See the Rest Right Here     Serious Eats 88 35th St Ste 602 Brooklyn, NY 11232 Click Preferences to control which emails you receive from Serious Eats.

Luckily for you, it's just under $100.   An Instant-Read Thermometer An instant-read thermometer is another kitchen essential, and we love the ThermoWorks Thermapen for its lightning-fast readings and accuracy.
