The Essential is a staple in many of our review team members’ kitchens. We love that it works well for all kinds of tasks, whether you’re making a sauce or browning some meat. Its high walls prevent grease from splattering onto the work surface, and it can be used as a flat-bottomed frying pan or even a Dutch oven. It is also dishwasher safe.
If you tend to splatter your fried vegetables right out of the pan, a deep fryer is just what you need. This pan has a large cooking base, but high walls to keep your ingredients inside the pan and off the stove. Plus, the sides are flat, so you can use them for pressure if you’re flipping something with a spoon.
A good stainless steel skillet is a non-negotiable in your kitchen arsenal. This 12-inch skillet is neither too big nor too small. You may face a learning curve if you’re used to cooking on nonstick materials — make sure the grease or oil is hot before adding food — but once you master cooking on stainless steel, you’ll likely use it more frequently than other pans.

Mixing copper, aluminum, and 18/10 stainless steel makes it some of the best heat-conducting pans WIRED reviewer Scott Gilbertson has in his kitchen (aside from cast iron). He uses a smaller version for sauces, boiling potatoes, making bourbon bacon bark, and countless other tasks. He says this is the backbone of the kitchen. The included lid reduces evaporation.
The holiday cookie season is quickly approaching. This baking kit will help you prepare gifts for all your neighbors, friends, and neighbors’ friends. It comes with two cookie sheets and a wire cooling rack, so when you’re baking large batches, everything will have a chance to cool before decorating. I can attest to the strength of non-stick cookie sheets, and that same coating makes them easier to clean when you’re done with all the baking. If you need a set with more pieces, including a muffin tin, Check this option.
This nonstick grill measures 16 x 13 inches, so it’s large enough for a small turkey or a large batch of roasted vegetables or other sides. Since they’re nonstick, you probably don’t want to rely on scraping something to make a sauce with your gravy, but they’ll still come in handy if you regularly roast delicate items and simply need a large pan that can handle the high heat of the oven.
If you’re looking for a way to roast your holiday meats, this is a good option. (Just note that it doesn’t come with a stand.) The stainless steel roaster measures approximately 16 x 13 inches and can comfortably fit a turkey weighing up to 20 pounds. They’re oven safe up to 600°F and durable enough that you can scrape the bottom to make a sauce using all those combined flavors.
Being from the Midwest, I know all too well that “barbecue season” is more of a state of mind than an actual time of year. All-Clad makes great outdoor cookware that I use often while doing any outdoor cooking, whether from my backyard or camp. This set includes an 11-inch round grill, large grill, and grill grate. They’re perfect for imparting that grilled, smoky, charcoal flavor without the risk of losing your asparagus or salmon to the flames below. And I like that the handles are large enough to hold while wearing oven mitts.
You really don’t want to use metal utensils on non-stick pans. This set comes with all the nonstick kitchen accessories you’d often reach for, including a slotted spatula, rotating spatula, flexible slotted spatula, and ladle. You’ll also get a case so you can store it on your nightstand instead of shoving it into a drawer and crossing your fingers so you can open it later. It is heat safe up to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.

While defects vary, the dealer says all cookware will perform as intended. Should an issue arise, nearly every All-Clad Factory Seconds product is backed by the All-Clad Limited Lifetime Warranty. (Electrical items have a slightly different warranty; see individual product pages for details.) We’ve used more than a dozen pots, pans, and accessories from Factory Seconds, and they all worked exactly as advertised. Just remember that all sales are final, and note that you will have to pay $10 for shipping. It’s also worth noting that the ‘past’ prices are based on items purchased new, but we still think they give a good indication of how much you save for the value you get.
