The 2021 Black Friday guide for buying cookware sets

By Timothy Hales | Updated: November 13, 2021

Table of Contents

Cookware sets are kitchen items that should not be purchased on a spur of a moment during a Black Friday Cookware Sale unless you have done your research. It is easy to get caught up in the excitement of a good deal and make a purchase that may not necessarily be that good of a deal. I have compiled a guide to shopping for cookware. From cookware materials to the particular pieces that you need, I have included it all below the list of sales. Take a look below for more information.

Want to know more about this site? I created SteelBlue Kitchen to help others discover, research, and select knives and other kitchen products that meet their needs, desires, and budget. I hope this guide makes it a little easier this Black Friday when you are shopping for the best cookware deals. 

New deals are becoming available every day. Please bear with us as we get the latest deal updated.

Cookware Materials

All cookware is not made of the same materials. The variety of materials can be overwhelming if you are shopping for cookware; however, I have provided a brief description of each material. Some materials are more costly as compared to others. Be sure you understand the benefits and negatives of each metal before purchasing a cookware set.

 Be sure you research the various cookware options to make sure you get the best set for your needs and budget.Z

Stainless-Steel

  • Made by adding chromium and nickel to steel
  • Highly anti-corrosive
  • Poor conductor of heat
  • Does not react with acidic or alkaline foods
  • Dishwasher, oven, and broiler safe
  • Sometimes used to coat highly conductive metals such as copper and aluminum (known as stainless-steel “clad”)

Aluminum

  • Excellent heat conductor, second only to copper
  • Reacts negatively to acidic foods
  • Works best when lined with a nonstick coating, clad with stainless steel, or undergoes anodization.
  • Lightweight, it makes a good choice for larger pieces like water pots and roaster

Carbon Steel

  • Cross between cast iron and stainless steel
  • Needs to be seasoned similarly to cast-iron
  • Should not be put in the dishwasher or allowed to sit in water

Nonstick

  • Extremely easy to clean up
  • Requires minimal amount of oil
  • Do not use metal utensils; however, use hard nylon, silicone or wood
  • Scratched surface causes it to not perform adequately
  • Overheating pan can cause damage
  • Must take extra care for it to last

Cast-Iron

  • Poor conductor of heat, meaning it is slow to heat and slow to cool
  • Excellent for dutch ovens, fry pans, griddles, and grill pans
  • Very durable, resisting cracks, chips, and warping
  • Requires user to “season” it to prevent rust
  • Should not be put in the dishwasher

Copper

  • Best conductor of heat out of all other materials
  • Heats quickly and evenly
  • Cools as soon as it is removed from the heat
  • Can discolor or cause a metallic taste with certain foods
  • Sometimes lined with tin or stainless-steel to avoid affecting foods apperance and taste
  • Can be expensive because copper is a previous metal

Stoneware

  • Oldest type of cookware
  • Heats very evenly and holds heat well similar to cast iron
  • Normally glazed baking dishes for oven use only
  • Dishwasher and freezer safe
