| I just bought an All Clad w/copper 12 inch saute pan
from a discount store for $90 which is half retail cost. But I did notice there was an "S" stamped on the handle. I bought the pan with the intention of returning it if I discover that the "S" means it's a reject/irregular product. Does anyone know what the "S" means? |

| The S does indeed mean second, but that may mean a minor scrach or cosmetic defect. The usefulness of the item is most likely not affected at all. |
|
| Just looked at the pan carefully and I don't really see any cosmetic defects. Are cosmetic defects the only reason these pans are seconds or are there other quality controls All Clad uses to reject these pans? Thx. |
|
| I believe seconds are cosmetic only. They are very fussy about perfect pans for full -price, so the 'seconds' are generally 99.9%. All my all-clad are seconds. All-Clad still warrants your pan, so don't worry about anything, just use it and enjoy! Colin |
