These essential kitchen items are the cheapest they'll be all year.

Today's the day: It's time to get the best deals possible on the stuff you need and want, and you can avoid the hordes of shoppers fighting over toasters in the clearance aisle by taking advantage of Black Friday sales online. As per usual, Amazon has been pushing its Black Friday sales hard. But which deals and discounts are worth taking advantage of, without an ounce of buyer's remorse? For the most rewarding Black Friday kitchen deals, stick to these categories on Amazon.

Air fryers

Stand mixers and blenders

Earlier this year we told you that KitchenAid Stand Mixers and Vitamix Blenders were the only Amazon deals that mattered, because those brands are the least likely to go on sale throughout the rest of the year. The same goes for Black Friday deals. You'll want to check out these items, which will be on sale for a very limited time:
