All-Clad pans are, quite simply, the best in the game. So good, in fact, that they rarely go on sale outside of major sales like Black Friday. But someone must have hit the wrong button over there because right now, two of the brand's top nonstick pans are down 30% just in time for Thanksgiving.
All-Clad 30% off at Amazon
The All-Clad HA1 Expert Nonstick Fry Pan Set is on sale for the best price in months on two best-selling variations: an 8- and 10-inch set ($70, down from $100), and a 10- and 12-inch set ($90, down from $130). You can add lids for an additional $55, but honestly, you don't need them (any standard 8-, 10- or 12-inch lid will fit).
Should you care about this deal? Well, if you spend any time in the kitchen, the answer is a resounding
yes. I've been professionally product testing for the past seven years, and All-Clad is one of the only kitchen brands I stand by wholeheartedly. I own this two-piece set (the 10- and 12-inch versions) and swear by them. Here's why:

All-Clad nonstick fry pan set down 30% ahead of Black Friday
Over the next month, you're going to see some pretty stellar deals on all manner of kitchen goods, but the brand you should keep your closest eye on is All-Clad. At Amazon, this two-piece fry pan set is 30% off across two sizes, with additional discounts on the 10-inch pan only ($65, down from $80). For my money, I'd recommend picking up the 10- and 12-inch pans, which are great for sautéing vegetables or pan-frying your favorite cuts of meat.
This particular set is made with HA1 nonstick, and if you're not a cookware nerd like I am, here's what that means: it's an All-Clad-specific term for a specific nonstick formula they use. It's made from a hard-anodized aluminum core with a stainless steel base and nonstick coating. The combination leads to quick heating, warp resistance in its base and a nonstick surface.
This fry pan set claims to have a scratch-resistant exterior, which is pretty much only true if you use wooden utensils, not stainless steel. It's dishwasher-safe (but please never put your pans in the dishwasher) and oven-safe up to 500 degrees.
Of the two sets on sale, here's who I'd recommend them for:
- 8- and 10-inch fry pan set: My 8-inch pan gets used when I'm whipping up an egg or two or a single grilled cheese for my toddler. If you tend to cook for 1-2 people in your home, it's a great addition. The 10-inch skillet is better for vegetables, sauces and multiple cuts of meat.
- 10- and 12-inch fry pan set: This set is better if you cook for 2+ people on a regular basis and have a stovetop with more than one large eye. They're perfect for meats, vegetables, pancakes and multiple paninis at once.

Why shoppers swear by All-Clad nonstick pans
I could fill an entire book with reasons why I love All-Clad, but I'm not alone. Home chefs like me are just as obsessed as big-name publications and celebrities. America's Test Kitchen consistently ranks All-Clad at the top of its cookware reviews, while Ina Garten similarly swears by All-Clad for her cookware needs.
Real-life shoppers rank All-Clad cookware highly across all retailers: Amazon, Walmart, Williams Sonoma, etc. On Amazon, this particular fry pan set has a 4.5-star rating, with reviewers claiming they're "still like new after 5 months."
Shoppers frequently praise the quality, size and nonstick abilities of these pans.

The best All-Clad pans on sale right now
OK listen, I'm going to clue you in on my all-time favorite industry secret: Hands-down, the best place to shop for All-Clad Cookware is the All-Clad VIP Factory Seconds Outlet. While I own this particular All-Clad fry pan set, I didn't buy it from Amazon — I bought it from the outlet, which sells excess All-Clad inventory from across the globe. It's loaded with two types of items: "second-quality" All-Clad pans (ones with small dings or scratches) that are as much as 80% off, and "packaging damage" pans, or those that may have little defects on the cardboard boxes themselves.
Ahead of Thanksgiving, if you're looking for excellent cookware deals, the VIP sale needs to be on your radar. And you will need to shop fast: It ends in 8 days.
