All-Clad cookware is a buy-it-for-life staple, according to the WIRED Reviews team and, well, everyone else. My parents have owned an 8-inch All-Clad frying pan as long as I can remember—and I grew up in the ’80s—and I've owned an All-Clad sauté pan that's almost 25 years old and still looks like I bought it last year.

I subscribe to the “buy once, cry once” philosophy, but a full set of All-Clad pots runs $800; the best way to build a collection is often to buy the pieces you need, as you need them. Factory seconds sales like this are typically the best way to go about this—huge discounts can be had on cookware that only has packaging damage or a minor blemish. For this sale, the site states what the specific problem is, and every piece comes with the same limited lifetime warranty as regular All-Clad cookware.

Note that you will need to enter your email address to access the sale (though when I did this, I got a coupon for free shipping over $60); all sales are final; and items you see are of limited quantity and may not be restocked, so if you see something you like, don't wait until later.

This is the sauté pan I have, and it really is $180 right now at Williams Sonoma . It's super versatile with its straight sides that allow you to cook one-pot meals, and it's oven-safe up to 600 degrees Fahrenheit, so you can even use it under the broiler.
