Fellow Aiden Precision Coffee Maker
Fellow Aiden Precision Coffee Maker
Endlessly customizable, the Fellow Aiden can produce coffee that tastes exactly how you want it to taste based on parameters like bloom time, water temperature and length of a water burst. If that sounds complicated to you, just set it to “medium roast” and the machine can take care of it all for you with its presets. Fellow has been pretty up front that its prices are being impacted by the on-again-off-again tariffs going on right now, so finding the Aiden priced this low is a treat. —Noah Kaufman, senior commerce editor

NP-HCC10XH 5.5-Cup Induction Heating System Rice Cooker
Some products have dominated their respective product categories even after years and years of testing new models, and this rice cooker from Zojirushi is one of them. It produces perfect, ultra-fluffy rice every time without fail, and is on sale for an impressive 30% off for Black Friday. —A.C.
Gozney Arc XL Pizza Oven
After testing more than 15 pizza ovens, the Arc XL is the one I keep coming back to. Its signature flame arcs across the ceiling, mimicking a wood-fired oven and giving your cheese that perfectly bubbly, melted top. While most pizza ovens have side burners, the Arc XL has a single flame, which I’ve found gives you much more control over your pie’s doneness so you can achieve Neapolitan-style char and leopard-spotted crust without risking a burnt edge. Built with meticulous attention to detail, the Arc XL’s quality is top-tier, and it’s the pizza oven I recommend every time someone asks (which happens at every pizza party I host).
While you’re at it, grab Gozney’s Pro Placement Peel. After hosting countless pizza parties, I’ve learned the hardest part isn’t cooking the pie—it’s getting it onto the oven without disaster. Without fail, someone’s pie gets stuck to the peel, sending cheese and toppings everywhere (sometimes bursting into flames). That never happened with this peel. Pizzas slide off effortlessly, like figure skaters on ice. Its perforated aluminum blade disperses flour evenly, preventing sticking or burnt patches on the crust. Launching a pie has never been easier.—Olivia Tarantino, senior commerce editor
Middleton Echo Chef’s Knife
Middleton Made Knives Echo 8″ Chef’s Knife
Usually, to get a knife made by a master bladesmith, it will cost you hundreds and hundreds of dollars. But today Quintin Middleton’s Echo line is 25% off and costs about the same as many of the nice, mass-produced knives we’ve tried. Middleton’s chef’s knife is not only incredibly sharp and designed with a really comfortable geometry, but it also looks absolutely stunning. If you pick one up, grab a knife magnet too, so you can have it out on display all the time. —N.K.
Nama J2 Cold Press Juicer
Nama J2 Cold Press Juicer
The Nama J2 has been our top juicer for over three years because it fixes two major pain points: endless chopping and wasted produce. Thanks to its massive hopper, you can toss in big chunks of fruit and veg (we’ve fit five whole oranges in it), close the lid, and walk away while it does the work. No more standing there feeding your juicer one celery stalk at a time. And then there’s the juice itself. The J2 is a slow, masticating machine that spins at just 50 RPM to squeeze out every last drop. The leftover pulp comes out practically dry, which feels especially satisfying when you’re juicing pricey greens. It’s efficient, it’s quiet, and it consistently produces juice that tastes cleaner, richer, and fresher than what we’ve gotten from any other machine we’ve tested.—O.T.

Thermapen One
Thermoworks Thermapen One
Thermoworks set the standard for digital probe thermometers with their flagship product, the Thermapen One. It’s lightning fast, with superbly accurate readings and an easy-to-read display. It also comes in a wide variety of cute colors. Usually, the price is the biggest drawback, so now’s the chance to grab it while it’s $40 off. —W.D.
