What are factory seconds?

He Factory seconds event is run by Home and Cook Sales, an authorized reseller of All-Clad and several other cookware brands. Items listed (usually) have minor imperfections, such as scuffing on the pan, a misaligned name stamp, or just a dented box. Each product on the website lists the nature of the imperfection in the title (for example, packaging damage). You will need to enter an email address to access the sale.

While imperfections may vary, the dealer says all cookware will perform as intended. Should a problem arise, almost all All-Clad Factory Seconds products are backed by All-Clad’s limited lifetime warranty. (Electrical items have a slightly different warranty; see individual product pages for details.) We have used a dozen Factory Seconds pots and pans and they have all performed exactly as advertised. Just remember that all sales are final.

The Essential is one of our favorite pans. You could say that it is, ahem, essential in the kitchen. We like that it works well for all types of tasks. Its high walls prevent grease from splashing onto the counter and it can function as a flat-bottomed wok or even a pot. It is also dishwasher safe.

If you tend to splash your sautéed vegetables out of the pan, a deeper pan is what you need. This one has a large base for cooking, but high walls to keep ingredients in the pan and off the stove. Plus, the sides are flat, so you can use them as leverage if you flip something with a spatula.

Everyone needs a good stainless steel frying pan. This 10.5-inch skillet isn’t huge, but it’s big enough to cook grilled cheese, a chicken breast, or some eggs. It’s not nonstick, which takes some getting used to (make sure the fat or oil is hot before adding food), but once you learn how to cook with stainless steel, you’ll never want to use nonstick again. Good quality stainless steel provides even heat, with fewer hot spots, and makes cooking easier once you get the hang of it.

All-Clad’s fusion of copper, aluminum, and bar-resistant 18/10 stainless steel makes it one of the best heat-conducting pans WIRED reviewer Scott Gilbertson has used (aside from cast iron). Use a smaller version for sauces, boiling potatoes, making bourbon bacon crust, and many other tasks. This is a kitchen workhorse. The included lid reduces evaporation (if desired).

This basket is great for grilling items like asparagus or fruit. The bottom is perforated to allow smoke and charcoal to flavor your food, without the danger of losing items across the grill as they cook. I like to camp in my car for exactly that purpose.

These little oval-shaped plates are great for dividing up side dishes or individual servings, but if you’re like me and don’t have a microwave, they’re also great for heating up leftovers on the stove or in the oven.

Imagine a world where you cook pasta and simply lift the colander instead of having to carry hot water to the sink. That world is a possibility with this multi-cooker, which includes a strainer basket that’s perfect for pasta or blending broth without having to painstakingly strain it afterwards. Of course, the outer pot can be used without the strainer, perfect for when you’re making a big batch of soup this winter.

These measuring cups are super durable. Your grandchildren’s grandchildren could probably get some use out of them. I like that they are deep. When I pour 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 wider, shallow measuring cups. You can also get a odd size set for the same price.

It’s almost that time of year. These turkey forks are perfect for your Thanksgiving bird or any other giant piece of meat you might be roasting during the colder months. They’ll help you get a good grip and reduce the risk of spending six hours smelling amazing food and then accidentally dropping it on the floor. Just keep an eye on shipping times if you expect to have it by a certain day.

The holiday cookie season is quickly approaching. This bakeware set will help you prepare delicious treats for all your neighbors, friends, and friends of your neighbors. It comes with two cookie sheets and a cooling rack, so when you’re baking large batches, everything will have a chance to cool before decorating. I can attest to the nonstick power of cookie sheets and that same coating makes them easier to clean.

This little grill is another handy winter staple. I realize that some of you may not be from Wisconsin and therefore may not want to go out when it’s really cold just to grill some food. A cast iron grill pan helps create those delicious sear marks, and this one comes with an acacia wood trivet so you can serve food straight from the pan. There are also built-in pouring spouts to drain excess grease.

All the bowls in my house seem to be dirty when I need them most. This three-pack is tempting. Includes 1.5-quart, 3-quart, and 5-quart bowls, all with rolled edges for easier pouring. They also stack for easy storage.

This tiny pot is perfect for melting butter, heating syrup, or making the world’s smallest soufflé. It is induction compatible and oven safe up to 500 degrees Fahrenheit. I don’t have a microwave, so I’m always waiting for a double boiler to melt the butter. Maybe I need a small but powerful frying pan in my kitchen.

This pan is super versatile and also pretty gigantic, measuring almost 19 by 15 inches. It’s oven and grill safe up to 600 degrees Fahrenheit and a great choice for roasting turkeys, hams, or a large quantity of root vegetables.
