Black Friday 2022: The Best Food And Kitchen Deals On Amazon

We may receive a commission on purchases made from links.

Even if you're not a big shopper, there's one date on the fall calendar you likely pay attention to each year: Black Friday, the day that follows Thanksgiving and one of the biggest shopping dates of the year (via How Stuff Works). On this day, many retailers both large and small offer compelling deals to the American shopping public, and it can be a great way to find deep-discount prices on larger items you may have been saving up for, from electronics to designer clothing.

Once a brick-and-mortar-based sales day, in recent years online retailers have embraced Black Friday, offering site-wide deals that often continue through the post-Thanksgiving weekend into Cyber Monday, the relatively new sales day exclusive to websites (via USA Today). And if you love food and cooking, these sales can be excellent opportunities to grab pots, pans, kitchen appliances, and even ingredients. If you're thinking of heading to Amazon this Black Friday with that very goal in mind, check out some of the retailer's best foodie deals, many of which are already in effect now.

This cute little kitchen appliance might look like a simple toaster oven, but it actually offers an Instant Pot-style combination of functions. There are seven of them, in fact: a flat grilling surface; a grilling surface with grates; roasting, baking, and broiling; air frying; and dehydrating. 

Featuring an internal smart thermometer that helps you cook steaks, chicken, and other proteins to the perfect temperature, the appliance also boasts a generous XL surface area. The grill grate can hold up to six steaks, and the smooth griddle can toast up to four sandwiches or six pancakes at once.

Purchase the Ninja IG651 Foodi Smart XL Pro 7-in-1 Indoor Grill/Griddle Combo for $219.99, down from $369.99.

Those of us who love to cook often prioritize stocking our kitchens with big-ticket items such as Le Creuset enameled cast iron or Vitamix high-speed blenders. But it's always a good idea to have the basics on hand, too, and that's where this practical collection of six spoons and spatulas comes in. 

Made by KitchenAid, the set includes one long and one short flat spatula, a slotted spatula, a serving spoon, a slotted spoon, and a ladle, all made from a heat-resistant blend of nylon and plastic that's dishwasher safe and won't damage nonstick surfaces.

Purchase the KitchenAid Universal Tool Set for $40.41, down from $59.99.

Speaking of holiday baking, now is a great time of year to revise your ground spices and make sure they're still fresh; any dried-out spices will fail to shine in your lovingly crafted gingerbread cookies and cinnamon rolls. According to McCormick, dried ground spices only stay fresh for between two and four years, so if yours are any older than that, it's time to toss them. 

Luckily, the brand is offering a kit of seven of the spices most essential for holiday baking: allspice, nutmeg, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, ginger, and cloves, plus some cream of tartar for all your meringue needs.

Purchase the McCormick Baking Essentials 7 Count Variety Pack for $28.54, down from $35.67.

If you're planning on doing any entertaining this holiday season, then you might want to snag a pack or two of these simple, elegant wine glasses from German maker Zwiesal Glas. Suited for both red and white wines, the 18-ounce glasses boast a versatile, contemporary style and are made from Tritan Crystal glass, a composite of titanium oxide and zirconium oxide. 

Best of all, the glasses are dishwasher safe, so you won't have to waste any precious holiday prep time washing glasses in the sink.

Purchase Zwiesel Glas Pure Tritan Crystal Stemware Collection Glassware, 4 glasses for $53.20, down from $76.

If you've been looking to up your mixology game but have lacked the bar tools needed to produce classic martinis and modern mojitos, then here's your chance to snag a practical bar kit at a great price. Featuring 10 must-have bar tools including a two-piece Boston shaker, a Hawthorne strainer, a bar knife, a bottle and can opener, a double jigger, ice tongs, and a stir stick — all made from stainless steel and displayed on a practical plastic stand. 

On sale at the very fair price of $23.60, it's the perfect set to grab if you plan to host any cocktail parties this holiday season.

Purchase the Oggi Pro Stainless-Steel 10-Piece Cocktail Shaker and Bar Tool Set for $23.60, down from $31.37.

Having a juicer at home might seem like a luxury, but it's actually way more expensive to frequent juice bars, where even a basic green juice might run you up to $9 (via Juice Generation). Investing in a juicer can be a great way to save on these healthy refreshers in the long run, and Amazon's big sale on this highly rated Hamilton Beach model is a wonderful opportunity to do so. 

Featuring stainless steel, dishwasher-safe parts and a 40-ounce BPA-free plastic container, the juicer has an extra-large, 3-inch feed chute into which you can toss whole fruits and vegetables, and two speeds: a lower one for softer produce and a higher one for carrots, beets, apples, and the like.

Purchase the Hamilton Beach Juicer for $59.99, down from $114.99.

If you've got a big family — or simply like to have people over for brunch — then you might be tired of the ol' three-skillets-on-the-stove-at-once routine when you need to make large amounts of eggs or pancakes. That's where having an electric griddle can be handy, like this one from BELLA. 

Boasting a large, 11" by 23" surface that can cook up to 15 eggs or pancakes at once, the griddle is coated with a nonstick ceramic coating that's durable and scratch-resistant. For cleaning, the griddle is fully immersible in water — you don't have to worry about shorting out any parts.

Purchase the BELLA XL Electric Ceramic Titanium Griddle for $32.70, down from $49.99.

If you live alone — or if you're so coffee-passionate that you want to keep a supply on hand at all times — then this single-serve K-cup coffee maker that brews one cup of joe is the perfect addition to your kitchen or office. Super-portable and measuring less than 5 inches wide, the brewer produces one 6-to-12-ounce coffee at a time — add water to the reservoir with each cup. 

The coffee maker would also be a great option to tote along on camping or overnight trips, so that you're never too far from a hot, fresh cup of coffee.

Purchase the Keurig K-Mini Coffee Maker, Single Serve K-Cup Pod Coffee Brewer for $49.99, down from $99.99.

Take your movie nights to the next level with the Nostalgia Vintage Table-Top Popcorn Maker.

Whether you're hosting or taking home leftovers during the holidays, having enough fridge space can be an issue. The FoodSaver is basically the Space Bag of the food world (anyone else remember those infomercials?) because it can help organize your fridge, pantry, or freezer. Not only does it help you tidy up the kitchen, but FoodSaver guarantees on its website that food will last up to 5 times longer in the vacuum-sealed bags. Beef and poultry, for example, can last up to three years in the freezer. This Black Friday, the FoodSaver V4400 2-in-1 Vacuum Sealer Machine with Automatic Vacuum Sealer Bag Detection and Starter Kit is 30% off on Amazon, dropping the price from $199.49 to $139.99.
