After scrambling to plan and cook that perfect Thanksgiving meal, we scramble to Black Friday sales to get that food processor or blender we always wanted. Black Friday Cyber Monday has come a long way in recent years and sales are on almost from Thursday to the Tuesday after.
Cyber Monday sales are the best time to stock your kitchen with those high quality appliances you always wanted. Online shopping makes it really easy because now you can just order from the comfort of your home.
Personally, I am not an impulse buyer. You can bet I have actually looked at what I want in brick and mortar stores throughout the year and have carefully noted the exact brand and model of what I want :). So ordering online is just a matter of moving things from my wishlist to the shopping cart and checking them out.
Online ordering is also a great way to gift items to people because Amazon lets you specify gift items.
Enough of this talk! I am listing the must have items every kitchen needs, or rather, every busy cook needs to make her life easy.
I have personally used or am using many of these items and I know they are good choices. So here are my hand picked Cyber Monday Kitchen Deals for you.

Until I can afford a Blendtec – I will probably never dare to buy it even when I can afford it – I prefer the Hamilton Beach. I can get a couple of years out of it or more and it is good enough with a 700W motor.

A pressure cooker is invaluable in a vegetarian kitchen. While Indian brands are more common in Desi households, I have always wanted one with a steam release valve. Great for cooking beans and lentils in a small amount of time.

You save 58% on the list price which is BIG considering this is a high priced item.

Priced at $49 with 62% savings

T-fal offers top quality and I have used it for years and years. Every nonstick eventually gives way, so it is better to buy a medium quality and change it every few years. This T-Fal set is priced right, perfect for students or new homemakers on a budget.
There is a big pot great for biryanis, and a skillet for chapati or dosas. Small omelette pan and ladles and spatulas mean you have almost everything you need to cook.

I have bought so many of these over the years. They are durable and dishwasher and microwave safe and also easy to clean by hand. 63% savings are too good for this 16 piece dinner service. Please note the prices change with the design on the plate.
Well, I can go on and on but I think these are some solid items that will build a good foundation for your kitchen.

Kamal, lots of great ideas here. I especially love the food processor, two of mine broke just in the past year. And that salad bowl is beautiful. Thanks for sharing!
