If you're a home cook looking to up your game, it may be time to upgrade your equipment. And if you're in the market for some new pots, pans, bakeware or other accessories, now's a great time to buy with big discounts sitewide at Xtrema's Cooktober sale. All items are automatically 20% off, and you can save an extra 20% when you use the coupon code COOKTOBER at checkout for serious savings. Plus, you'll get free shipping on any order over $150. But the sale only runs through Sunday, Oct. 8, so be sure to get your order in before then if you don't want to miss out on these bargains.

Xtrema is 100% ceramic, keeping it free of metal and toxins -- as well as safe to use in the oven, microwave or dishwasher. And right now you can get the nine-piece Signature Series set with three saucepans and lids, along with a 9-inch skillet and two potholders for $352 with the coupon code -- which saves you a whopping $198 compared to the usual price. 

For those of you who don't need a full set, there are plenty of single items worth adding to your collection right now. If you're a fan of stir fry, this 8-inch, long-handled wok is a great tool for sauteing, stir-frying, simmering or braising -- and it's down to just $82 right now, which is a total discount of $48. Or check out the 11-inch Signature Skillet, which is an excellent all-around workhorse, and you can snag it for $72 off right now, bringing the price to $128. 

You can add that skillet along with a number of other selections, including saucepans, tea kettles and more, with the build-your-own-bundle deals. Adding two items will score you 10% off, three items get 15% off and five or more will knock 20% off your order. Just note that these bundle savings can not be combined with the coupon code offer, so unless you're bundling five or more items, you're better off purchasing them individually.
