Leftovers are one of the best parts of November and December holidays, but you need the proper tools to store them correctly. Now 30 percent off, this large set of glass food storage containers features airtight locking lids and durable borosilicate bases that will last long after the holiday season ends. 

Ninja 4-Quart Air Fryer

While high-quality air fryers will come in handy all year round, they’re especially great for stress-free holiday appetizers. This 4-quart air fryer is large enough to bake 2 pounds of French fries and has dishwasher-safe parts for easy cleanup. Plus, it’s available in several different colors for $30 off. 

Le Creuset Mini Round Cocotte

Speaking of holiday hosting, you’ll be surprised at how many uses you can find for these mini cocottes from Le Creuset. Made of durable stoneware, they’ll hold 8 ounces of mixed nuts, dips, party mix, or other snacks. Since they’re oven-safe up to 500 degrees Fahrenheit, you can also use them to bake individual portions of apple pie, chocolate cake, or mac and cheese. 

Yeti Rambler 20-Ounce Tumbler

Cold weather and hot coffee are a perfect match, but only if your drink stays warm. We love the Yeti brand for its super durable, vacuum-insulated drinkware that’s also dishwasher-safe. This 20-ounce tumbler fits most car cup holders and features double-wall 18/8 stainless steel to keep beverages hot or cold.

Carote 15-Piece Ceramic Nonstick Cookware Set

Non-toxic ceramic cookware had a big year, but many popular sets cost hundreds of dollars. This Carote cookware set includes two frying pans, two saucepans, and one sauté pan for $60. It’s a dream for those with limited storage space: The lids are interchangeable and the handles detach, plus there are two storage lids that fit directly onto the pans. Score the entire set for 54 percent off with this early Walmart Black Friday deal. 

Williams Sonoma Heritage Stripe Potholder

Towards the end of the year, many home cooks start to notice that their trusty oven mitts and kitchen towels are no longer in the best condition. Hide your stained or frayed pot holders in the drawer when guests arrive and break out this striped one instead. Or, buy a couple as stocking stuffers or holiday presents for any friends and family who’ll appreciate a classic Williams Sonoma gift.

ThermoPro Instant-Read Digital Meat Thermometer

Being in charge of the Thanksgiving turkey is a big responsibility, but one of the easiest ways to take some of the pressure off is with an instant-read meat thermometer. Simply insert this ThermoPro model’s stainless steel probe into the thickest part of the thigh meat, and it will read the turkey’s temperature in less than 4 seconds. Of course, it also works with steak, roasts, ham, and any other type of meat. 

ChefAid 5-Piece Silicone Spatula Set

No matter what cooking task you’re taking on, a good spatula makes all the difference. Shoppers love this $7 set of five silicone spatulas, each with a sturdy yet flexible design and seamless construction for easy cleaning. Use them to mix, fold, stir, and serve (or scrape the last bit of cake batter from the bowl). 

Williams Sonoma Stainless Steel Ultimate Roaster with Rack

Roasting pans shouldn’t be reserved exclusively for Thanksgiving turkey—they’re good to keep on hand for roasting whole chickens, prime rib, and vegetables, or even baking lasagna for a crowd. This beautiful Williams Sonoma roasting pan is made from stainless steel with an aluminum core and upright handles for easy lifting. It includes a matching rack to help encourage a crispy skin and allow fat drippings to accumulate below for homemade gravy. 

Le Creuset Signature Oval Dutch Oven

Every home cook dreams of adding a Le Creuset Dutch oven to their kitchen, so we’re always on the lookout for great sales on this beloved brand. Now, you can save $175 on this 8-quart Dutch oven in a range of stunning colors, perfect for braising meat, baking bread, and making hearty soups or stews. This piece of cookware will last a lifetime with proper care—and could even become a family heirloom for the next generation.   

Yeti Rambler 42-Ounce Straw Mug

It’s easy to forget about hydration during the hustle and bustle of the holiday season, but this 42-ounce Yeti straw mug will serve as a reminder. It’s cup holder-compatible, dishwasher-safe, and features a sturdy handle for on-the-go use. Yeti deals are rare, so take advantage of this sale on seasonal colors while you can.
