The holidays are synonymous with cooking. Come November, even the most culinarily challenged find themselves back in the kitchen, attempting to pull off some elaborate recipes. Just as an artist needs their supplies, a chef needs their tools, which is why cooking with the proper appliances and accessories is so important.
Even when it isn't the holidays, we still eat — every day — meaning that any kitchen appliance has the opportunity to be used quite a bit, much more than some other, rather questionable purchases (I'm referring to the time I bought a hot pink balaclava at a sample sale, but that's a topic for another time). With all that use, it makes sense to invest in good-looking, quality kitchenware.
With Black Friday home deals finally upon us, there is no better time to buy that wishlist appliance you've been eyeing. For me, as a self-proclaimed coffee addict, it's the Smeg espresso machine, but there are so many phenomenal finds on this list for even more phenomenal discounts. Get your oven mitts ready and see what's cooking with my curated edit of the best designer kitchenware.
Fellow coffee lovers, please direct your attention to the best barista-approved espresso machines on sale for Black Friday this year.
