It’s that time of year! You know, when you’re checking your kitchen cabinets, polishing your dinnerware, and skeptically checking out that decades-old pan that definitely doesn’t stand a chance of doing your holiday dishes justice. Although saying goodbye to that sub-par pan was probably already overdue (a good piece of cookware should last lifetimes, IMO), we can understand if you needed a little incentive to finally invest in some new cooking essentials. Luckily, All-Clad is gracing us with some early holiday gifting this year: They just released a whole slew of their top-tier cookware for a fraction of its retail price as a part of their Factory Seconds Sale.

And no, a seconds sale does not mean you’re shelling out for a banged-up, dysfunctional pot or pan, if that’s what you were thinking. In fact, this siteful of seconds is the very opposite — while some pans may be missing the brand’s signature engraving on the bottom and some pots may ship out in damaged packaging, the pieces still function with the same finesse and superior cooking ability as their retail-priced counterparts. Bottom line, despite being “seconds,” these long-lasting essentials still cook like a dream, and promise to become your kitchen’s MVPs (most valuable pans, that is) for all you holiday cooking needs.
