Black Friday & Cyber Monday Cast Iron & Dutch Oven Deals 2026

What historically goes on sale in cast iron — and what rarely does

Cast iron is not one market. It is four or five, and they behave differently in November. Here is the dated record for each, from the sources listed at the bottom of the page.

French enameled dutch ovens (Le Creuset, Staub): the class where November has mattered

The line repeated in almost every write-up is that Le Creuset rarely goes on sale — and the same write-ups then list the sales. The dated record for Black Friday 2025, updated November 28, 2025: the Signature 5.5-quart round dutch oven — the pot at the top of our enameled roundup— was recorded at $295.29 against a $434.95 list on Amazon (32% off) and $289.95 against $460 at Macy’s (37% off), with Le Creuset direct, Williams Sonoma and Amazon discounting between 20% and 44% across the range that week. For Staub, the record we could verify is a 4-quart round cocotte on Amazon on December 8, 2025, at $149.95 with a clip coupon taking it to $127.49 against a stated $370 list — in three specific colors, after Cyber Monday, not across the line. In an earlier record (November 2023) a Food52 x Staub 4-quart cocotte was listed at $99 against $299.

The pattern those dates describe: the French pots do get cut in November, the cuts are measured against high list prices, and Staub’s deepest ones have landed on particular sizes and colorways rather than on the whole range. Le Creuset’s own biggest event, the Factory to Table sale, is not an online alternative: its own page describes it as an in-person, ticketed event that “cannot be shopped online or by phone,” next held October 1–4, 2026 in Milwaukee.

Boutique American iron (Field, Stargazer, Smithey, Lancaster, FINEX): shallow and rare

The dated record for Cyber Monday 2025 (November 30, 2025): the Field Company No. 8 at $132 against $165 on Amazon — 20% off — with the No. 10 also at 20%. The same report noted that the price “matches the rare low price” seen on Prime Day that summer and that the No. 10 had been discounted that low only twice before. Two years earlier (November 2023), selling direct, Smithey’s No. 12 combo set was 8% off and Field’s No. 8 with lid 12% off.

The pattern: the machined American pans move by 10–20% when they move at all, and 20% has historically been the floor, not the start. We have no dated Black Friday record for Stargazer, Lancaster or FINEX and do not invent one; their reviews on this site carry a live price that updates daily.

Lodge classic skillets and dutch ovens: cheap already, and discounted in small steps all year

Lodge runs a rolling sale collection on its own site. On the day this page was written — September 14, 2026, a date with no holiday anywhere near it — that page listed roughly forty items marked down between about 10% and 34%: the 5-quart Double Dutch Oven at $59.90 from $69.95, the Pro-Grid griddle at $49.90 from $59.95, the camp dutch oven from $79.90 against $94.95, the Essential Enamel pots 10–17% off. That is the pattern: Lodge discounts year-round in modest steps rather than saving one deep cut for November, and the classic skillet at the top of our skillet roundup starts so low that there is little room to move.

Lodge specialty pieces (griddles, bakeware, camp ovens, sets): the deepest recorded cuts

This is where the big percentages in cast iron have historically lived. The November 2023 Cyber Monday record lists Lodge griddles on Amazon at 50% and 55% off ($30 from $60; $15 from $33) and a Lodge baking pan at 17% off. A July 2019 Prime Day record lists Lodge’s four-piece set at $70 from $92, 25% off. And Lodge’s own sale page today carries the camp oven, the Pro-Grid griddle and the baking sets among its markdowns. The pattern: if you are buying a Lodge griddle, a boxed set or a camp oven and can wait, these are the pieces with the deepest recorded cuts.

Budget enamel (Tramontina, Amazon Basics, Cuisinart) and accessories: no dated record

We could not verify a dated Black Friday record for the budget enameled pots or for accessories, and we are not going to type a number we cannot source. What we can say is what the live feed shows: the buttons for these pots on this site frequently carry a retailer-reported list-price strike-through on ordinary days, which suggests the “deal” is already the price. Check the button.

Buy now or wait for November? By product class

This is guidance from the record above, not a prediction. If a sentence here turns out wrong in November, the deals box at the top of the page will say what actually happened.

The 2026 calendar, as far as it is actually known

• Black Friday 2026 is November 27; Cyber Monday is November 30. Those are calendar facts, not retailer announcements.
• Amazon’s 2026 dates have not been announced as of this page’s last update. Its 2025 event, per Amazon’s own announcement, ran from November 20 at 12:01 am PST through Cyber Monday, December 1 — twelve days, not one.
• An October Amazon event is usual but unconfirmed for 2026. Prime Big Deal Days ran October 7–8 in 2025; as of September 14, 2026, Amazon had not confirmed a 2026 date. If one runs, it is historically where the Field No. 8 hit the same low it later matched on Cyber Monday.
• Le Creuset Factory to Table: October 1–4, 2026, Milwaukee, in person only. Ticketed; not shoppable online, per Le Creuset’s own page.

How this page gets updated

When cast iron deals go live in November, they will appear in the status box at the top of this page, each with the date it was verified against the live price feed. Nothing goes in that box because a press release says a sale exists; it goes in when the button on this site shows the price. The watch list above updates every day on its own, because every price on it comes from the same feed that powers the rest of the site — if the feed stops, the prices disappear rather than go stale, which is how we handle prices everywhere.

If you are buying a gift rather than a pan for yourself, the gift guide and its lists by budget — under $50, under $150, heirloom — and by person — bread bakers, campers, weddings — are the pages to read first. Every pick on them carries the same live price as here.
