Best & Worst LGBTQ-Minded Food Brands to Work For in 2019

Not A Drill: The Cult Annual All-Clad Cookware Sale Has Begun

A big, huge, very large, massive, once-in-a-lifetime (or at least once-in-a-year) chance to get hugely marked down quality All-Clad cookware is happening. Right. Now. The famous All-Clad Factory Sale, which is usually relegated to an on-site location in Pittsburgh every spring, is now online for your cookware sale shopping pleasure. From mixing bowls to slow cookers and even a stunning 10-piece cookware set, some are marked down as much as 80 percent, and there are some major deals to be had—but for a limited time only.

What’s the catch? Merely a scratch. These are all technically “factory seconds” which means they may have endured scratch or tiny dent that kept them off the showroom floor but their functionality is guaranteed not to be affected in any way, and you’re still getting that same famous All-Clad quality and durability at up to 80 percent off!

Here are a few top picks from the limited run All-Clad Factory Seconds sale. But I’d hurry before the Chowhound editorial team snatches up the last few. We got the inside scoop and this major cookware sale ends Sunday, June 16th (despite the website which lists it as ending the 14th).

Yes, some people are hard to shop for and some of those people happen to be dads.
