The All-Clad VIP sale is open for the next 48 hours—shop 80% off All-Clad cookware
Halloween may be around the corner, but I'm feeling anything but spooked today—the best sale of the year (the All-Clad VIP sale) is open again for a brief 48 hours. This sale doesn't open often, nor does it stay open for very long, so if you're looking for blockbuster savings on some of the best cookware out there, now's the time to shop.
You have to enter your email address to access the sale, but I promise it's legit. I've shopped from this sale about eight times since 2020 and never received a product that was less than fantastic. Items are factory seconds, which means they've got some kind of damage that prevents them from being sold in a big box store. It could be as simple as damage to the cardboard packaging or a small scratch a lid. Imperfections do not impact the quality, but they do impact the price.
October is a great time to shop the All-Clad VIP sale—so many of these dishes make incredible gifts for the chef on your list. The 12-inch chef's pan is my favorite piece of cookware that I own, and one I've already gifted to my mother-in-law. The stainless steel 15-inch oval baker is also a great gift for the hostess who enjoys entertaining, especially around the holidays.
Here are all the best pieces of cookware you can snag during the All-Clad VIP sale.
What are "factory seconds"?
The All-Clad VIP site sells factory seconds, or All-Clad cookware that has a minor fault—like the cardboard packaging is damaged, the pot was overstocked, or there's a small scratch on the pan. Each product explains what the damage is in the product's title so you know exactly why it's on the site. You'll see either "packaging damage" or "second quality," which means it's got some kind of cosmetic damage.
I've purchased 11 pots and pans from the site over the years. Of all the cookware I've gotten, only one pan came with a small scratch on the bottom, which never impacted the pan's ability to heat or perform.
The Factory Seconds sale opens about once every three months, so I don't anticipate it will open again until Black Friday (where the sales will no doubt be incredible). If you're looking for some stellar cookware ahead of the holiday season, load up now because I think this will be your last chance to shop for the next few months.
