My favorite gadgets for Black Friday

I've often talked to you about my favorite kitchen utensils. When I mentioned the utensils I consider essential when you move out on your own, I already said that these things depend a lot on each household's budget.

On social media you've asked me to help you choose good pieces taking advantage of the discounts, and I've made a selection of the ones that I found most interesting.

Without a doubt, this is the star product that many of my Instagram followers have bought this year. I love it because it lets me toast different thicknesses of bread, brown toast without turning on the oven, and make fantastic sandwiches. Today, it's 10% off here.

You know that I consider these enameled cast iron casseroles to be a treasure in the kitchen. Everything cooked in them is a guaranteed success, with special mention for stews, which are simply outstanding if you finish them in the oven, and for legumes, which naturally thicken their broth.

The even heat distribution, with perfect heat transmission, ensures that food retains its juices during cooking, preserving all its nutrients and vitamins. I recommend the 24 cm diameter pan, a standard size that works well for families of 4, 6, or even 8. Colors? It doesn't matter: they're all beautiful. There's a 30% discount here today.

This 9.5cm stainless steel fruit knife has long been a household essential. It comes with a wooden sheath to protect the blade during storage. Made by the Japanese brand Kai, it boasts undeniable quality. Now it's 35% off at a fantastic price.

I can't live without my pressure cooker! It's a daily staple at home. I love the two-compartment design because I use the larger compartment for stews and the smaller one for vegetables, casseroles, or anything with less liquid. I've had mine for years and it's still in perfect condition; the brand is a guarantee of durability. I use it on an induction cooktop. It's currently 43% off here.

Many of my readers take advantage of sales to buy some good frying pans. I've decided to suggest this set from this top brand, which is currently 25% off here. It includes:

They are non-stick, PFOA-free, and suitable for all types of cookers, including induction.

These molds are a wonderful treat. I use mine a lot because they distribute heat so well and because the cakes look so beautiful when I give them as gifts or serve them at home. Here are some tips for using them, in case they're helpful.

I especially like this model because it's very convenient for serving portions. You can get them now with a 15% discount here.

Let me know if any of my favorite utensils end up becoming yours too.
