I try to be transparent about what I buy myself on Black Friday. Last year, one of my best purchases (in addition to my Theragun), was this 17-piece set of hard-anodized cookware from T-Fal. I paid $149, a deal with which I was totally happy, and this year an extra $10 coupon takes it all the way down to $139. This is a great time to upgrade or simply replace that old set of non-stick cookware, which is probably releasing toxic particles by now.
T-fal Ultimate Hard Anodized Nonstick Cookware Set 17 Piece $139 (was $199)
Each pan is built from hard anodized aluminum with a titanium non-stick coating. That helps them keep very consistent heat across the surface of the pan while maintaining a slippery surface that shrugs off eggs, steaks, and just about anything else you could cook on it. A red spot in the center of the pan indicates when the pans have reached the proper pre-heated temperature so you won’t put your food on too early. I particularly like this set because it includes a large 11.5-inch pan with a lid, as well as a 10.25-inch flat griddle, that’s great for making smash burgers and pancakes. The silicon handles stay very cool to the touch and the pans are even oven-save up to 400 degrees.
After a year of very regular use, my pans are still in great shape and I fully expect them to last for years or until one of my high-school-aged kids decides to scrape one to death with a metal spatula. I haven’t used the tiny egg pan much, but every other piece of this kit finds itself in regular cooking rotation. Grab it before the sale ends. Note: These don’t work with induction cook tops.
