In this post, I’ve gathered my favorite early Black Friday deals, including many of my tried-and-true kitchen and home items, so you can shop stress-free.

Although Thanksgiving is still a few weeks away, you can already shop Black Friday sales at tons of retailers! I’m never one to miss out on a discount—especially if it’s on a product I truly use and love, like this amazing tofu press—which is why I’ve already put together a list of the best early Black Friday deals at retailers like Amazon, Walmart, Williams Sonoma, and Target

My 5 Favorite Early Black Friday Deals

1. Zojirushi Neuro Fuzzy Rice Cooker & Warmer

This is one of my all-time favorite rice cookers! It has many great features, like 8 cooking functions, a warming setting, a 5.5-cup capacity, and a retractable power cord for breezy storage. You can choose to cook firm or soft rice, and there’s even an extended ‘keep warm’ function that keeps your rice fresh for up to 20 hours. To top it all off, it’s currently on sale at Walmart for nearly $46 off. 

2. HadinEEon Electric Kettle

An electric kettle is an absolute must-have in my house. We love using it for everything from Royal Milk Tea to traditional Japanese green tea — I highly recommend buying one if you love experimenting with different beverages at home, especially since this one is on sale for less than $20. 

3. Iwatani Korean Cookware Aburi Stovetop Grill Pan

I love using a grill pan at home, and this is one of the best options out there. Besides the fact that it’s 40% off right now, it also has dishwasher-safe parts and is designed to drain fat and grease, keeping the cooking process as easy as possible.

4. All-Clad HA1 Hard Anodized Nonstick Griddle

All-Clad is one of my favorite cooking brands! I’m always looking to see if any of their products are on sale, so I was super excited when I saw this nonstick griddle is 20% off! The nonstick coating is durable, oven-safe up to 500 degrees F, and it can go in the dishwasher. 

5. NOYA Adjustable Tofu Press

A tofu press is an essential tool in my kitchen! It makes pressing and draining tofu so much easier for recipes like my Mapo Tofu, which requires tofu to be drained for at least 15 minutes. I love how useful this gadget is, and I think anyone who cooks Asian food should have one.
