Whoa! All-Clad, Ina Garten's fave cookware, is up to 70% off for Black Friday

The Barefoot Contessa, who's used the brand's pots and pans for decades, says they 'cook evenly' and are a cinch to clean.

Hey! You there, with the scratched-up pans: Can we let you in on a little secret? For a limited time, you can score All-Clad cookware — the preferred brand of Ina Garten herself — for a steal. We're talking discounts of up to 70%; it literally feels like robbery! But this early Black Friday deals event, dubbed the All-Clad VIP Factory Seconds Sale, is a bit of a hidden gem. You'll have to enter your email address (it's worth it!) to access these limited-time savings — we're talking mere days here.

Here's the nitty-gritty: These All-Clad deals offer rare discounts on the brand's coveted cookware and kitchen equipment, though there's a small catch. Most of the items are "factory seconds," meaning there may be minor defects on the products themselves or their packaging. That said, the brand promises that none will affect the performance of the cookware — maybe a scratch here or there. All sales are final, and there's a 10-15 business day processing time, so if you're buying gifts, act fast!

Given how expensive All-Clad can be, you're really getting a stellar bargain with these prices. Plus, the Barefoot Contessa says these pieces are built to last. "I can't think of anything that's not great paired with All-Clad. It's just great equipment," she says in an interview with Williams Sonoma Taste. "It cooks evenly. It keeps the heat. It's easy to clean. I mean, I've had my All-Clad cookware, most of it, for 40 years, and you would not know that it's not brand new." Ready to see what you can snag for less? Keep scrolling — and check out our roundup of the best Black Friday kitchen deals for even more savings.
