I'm a HexClad-obsessed homes editor, and these are the 6 Black Friday deals worth buying

I was first introduced by HexClad at an event hosted by Gordon Ramsay, where we used them to cook everything from Boston beans to tarte tatin. He even stood scarily close to me while I fried an egg — talk about pressure. And if it's good enough for Gordon, it's good enough for me. I've since put these frying pans through the ringer, using them to fry steaks and scramble eggs. Forget kitchen nightmare, they're the answer to all my kitchen dreams. And thanks to HexClad's Black Friday sale, you can get your hands on these must-have pots and pans at a huge discount.

This cookware isn't cheap, which is why it's worth waiting for sales events like Black Friday to make a purchase. But if you're able, I'd recommend opting for one of the sets. The 12-piece Hybrid Pots & Pans Set is 40% off at $599. Still pricey, but it's a huge saving on the last cookware you'll ever need to buy. If you make just one pan purchase, perhaps as a Christmas gift, the 4.5QT Hybrid Deep Sauté Pan is now 21% off. Its wide base and high sides make it incredibly versatile for searing or cooking stews.

And while HexClad is best known for its cookware, I also highly recommend its knives. The 7-Piece Damascus Steel Knife Set is 30% off for Black Friday, I can attest from over a year of use, totally worth investing in. For more of my top picks, keep scrolling.
