Best Black Friday Small Kitchen Tool and Appliance Deals 

From speeding up prep to keeping foods fresh, teeny tools can make a huge difference in the kitchen—and your home bar. For wine-lovers, the all-too familiar glug glug glug of wasted wine being poured down the drain is the sound of sadness. It’s a common struggle: We want to have a glass or two of wine throughout the week, but most of us can’t make it through an entire bottle before the dreaded oxidation sets in. These vacuum-sealing wine stoppers lock in freshness and keep oxygen out—allowing us to savor our sips without feeling rushed.

Vacu Vin Wine Saver

If you’re in search of thoughtful stocking stuffers, a good set of restaurant-grade towels is (in our opinion) the ultimate practical gift. Pro cooks know that dish towels like these are surprisingly versatile—we use them to clean countertop spills, fold them to use in place of bulky potholders, and everything in between. Of the 17 kitchen towels we tested, these ones from Zeppoli were by far the most absorbent. Plus, they come in a large pack of 15, so you’re never stuck without a fresh one.
