What Are Factory Seconds? The Factory Seconds Event is run by Home and Cook Sales, an authorized reseller for All-Clad and several other cookware brands. The items featured in the sale (usually) have minor imperfections, like a scuff on the pan, a misaligned name stamp, or merely a dented box. Every product on the website lists the nature of the imperfection in the title (e.

g., packaging damage). You’ll need to enter an email address to access the sale.

While the blemishes may vary, the merchant says all of the cookware will perform as intended. Should any issue arise, nearly every All-Clad Factory Seconds product is backed by All-Clad’s limited lifetime warranty.

All-Clad D5 Essentials Pan All-Clad D5 Essential Pan for $170 ($155 off) The Essential is one of our favorite pans. You could say it's, ahem, essential in the kitchen . We like that it works well for all kinds of tasks.

Its high walls prevent grease from splattering on your countertop, and it can double as a flat-bottomed wok or even a Dutch oven. It’s also dishwasher-safe. All-Clad D5 3-Quart Sauté Pan with Lid for $180 ($145 off) If you tend to splash your sautéed vegetables out of the frying pan, a deeper sauté pan is just what you need.

This one has a large base to cook in, but tall walls to keep your ingredients inside the pan and off your stove. Plus, the sides are flat, so you can use them for leverage if you're flipping something with a spatula. All-Clad 10-Inch Stainless Fry Pan for $80 ($70 off) Everyone needs a good stainless steel frying pan.

This 10.5-inch pan isn't huge, but it's big enough to cook up a grilled cheese, a chicken breast, or a few eggs. It's not nonstick, which does take some getting used to—make sure your grease or oil is hot before you add food—but once you get the hang of cooking on stainless you'll never want nonstick again.

Good quality stainless provides an even heat, with fewer hot spots, and makes cooking easier once you master it. All-Clad 4-Quart Sauce Pan for $140 ($145 off) All-Clad's melding of copper, aluminum, and 18/10 stick-resistant stainless makes for one of the best heat-conducting pans WIRED reviewer Scott Gilbertson has used (aside from cast iron). He uses a smaller version for sauces, boiling potatoes, making bourbon-bacon bark, and countless other tasks.

This is a kitchen workhorse. The included lid reduces evaporation (if you wish). All-Clad Outdoor Round Basket for $30 ($20 off) This basket is fantastic for grilling items like asparagus or fruit.

The bottom has perforations to allow smoky, charcoal-y goodness to flavor your food, without the danger of losing items down the grate as they cook. I like to take mine car camping for exactly that purpose. All-Clad 7-Inch Oval-Shaped Bakers for $40 ($40 off) These little oval-shaped dishes are great for portioning out side dishes or individual servings, but if you're like me and you don’t own a microwave, they’re also fantastic for heating up leftovers on the stove or in the oven.

All-Clad 12-Quart Multipot for $80 ($100 off) Imagine a world in which you cook up your pasta and simply lift out the strainer instead of having to take the hot water over to the sink. That world is a possibility with this multipot, which includes a straining basket that's perfect for pasta or whipping up a stock without having to painstakingly strain it afterward. Of course, the outer pot can be used without the strainer—perfect for when you're making a big batch of soup this winter.

All-Clad 5-Piece Measuring Cup Set for $30 ($30 off) These measuring cups are super durable. Your grandkids' grandkids could probably get some use out of them. I like that they're deep.

When I'm pouring out a quarter-cup of oil for a recipe, I don't have to worry about keeping my hand steady as much as I do with shallower, wider measuring cups. You can also snag an odd-size set for the same price. All-Clad Turkey Forks Set for $20 ($15 off) It's almost that time of year.

These turkey forks are perfect for your Thanksgiving bird, or whatever other giant hunks of meat you may be roasting over the colder months. They'll help you get a good grip and reduce the risk of you spending six hours smelling amazing food only to accidentally drop it on the floor. Just keep an eye on those shipping times if you're counting on having this by a certain day.

All-Clad 3-Piece Bakeware Set for $55 ($76 off) Holiday cookie season is fast approaching. This bakeware set will help you prepare treats for all of your neighbors, friends, and neighbors' friends. It comes with two cookie sheets and a wire cooling rack, so when you're baking big batches, everything will have a chance to cool down before decorating.

I can attest to the cookie sheets' nonstick power, and that same coating makes them easier to clean. All-Clad 11-inch Grill Pan + Wood Trivet for $90 ($90 off) This little grill pan is another handy winter staple. I realize that some of you may not be from Wisconsin, and therefore may not want to step outside when it's freezing just to grill up some food.

A cast-iron grill pan helps create those tasty sear marks, and this one comes with an Acacia wood trivet so you can simply serve up the food straight from the pan. There are also built-in pour spouts for draining excess fat. All-Clad Mixing Bowl Set for $60 ($110 off) Every mixing bowl in my house seems to be dirty when I need it most.

This three-pack is tempting. It includes 1.5-quart, 3-quart, and 5-quart bowls, all of which have rolled rims for easier pouring.

They stack for easier storage as well. All-Clad 0.5-Quart Butter Warmer for $80 ($50 off) This teeny-tiny pot is perfect for melting butter, warming up syrup, or making the world's tiniest soufflé.

It's induction-compatible and oven-safe up to 500 degrees Fahrenheit. I don't have a microwave, so I'm always waiting on a double-boiler to melt my butter. Maybe I need a small-yet-mighty pan in my kitchen.

All-Clad XL Flared Roaster for $190 ($230 off) This pan is super versatile and also quite gigantic, measuring nearly 19 inches by 15 inches. It’s oven- and broiler-safe up to 600 degrees Fahrenheit and a great option for roasting turkeys, hams, or a big pile of root vegetables..
