The Best Early Labor Day Kitchen Deals to Ease You Back Into Fall (2026)

Nights are feeling crisp, it's getting darker earlier, and kids are back at school—for most people, vacation meals and casual picnics are over, and it's time to get back to business with meal and menu prep. If you're dusting off your pots, pans, and air fryers and thinking you could use an upgrade, Labor Day is a great time to score deals on appliances and cookware. Though the deals aren't quite as good as Prime Day's or Black Friday's, they're still substantial. These are the best early discounts I've found on gear the WIRED Reviews team has tested, loves, and uses in their own kitchens.

All-Clad is having a sale on many cookware sets and devices, but if you're going to get just one pan, this should be it. You can't beat All-Clad's durability and lifetime warranty, and WIRED kitchen reviewer Matthew Korfhage likes this 6-quart model specifically because it has the broadest surface of any of All-Clad's stainless steel pans, at over 11 inches. It also has a lid and is oven- and broiler-safe up to 600 degrees Fahrenheit. I can personally attest to the All-Clad quality, as I've had the D3 sauté pan since 2005, and it still looks nearly new.

Cuisinart Air Fryer Oven and Grill for $158 ($62 Off)

The best air fryer deal on a model we recommend is this combination air fryer/toaster oven from Cuisinart, which WIRED reviewer Matthew Korfhage loves for its ability to crisp, broil, toast, and even grill on a little George Foreman-style griddle. The interior isn't the easiest to clean, but unlike many air fryers, it is compact enough to fit comfortably on most countertops—15.75 inches wide by 12.25 inches deep by 13.75 inches high.
