Heads up for the All-Clad factory sale

Today's PSA for home cooks and holiday shoppers is a reminder about the All-Clad factory sale from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. today and from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday at the Washington County Fair and Expo Center. Prices are 40- to 70 percent off regular retail. 

A vast selection of the All-Clad line is available and restocked over the next two days, according to a spokesperson I called this morning. Bloggers note lines to get in are heavy early and dissipate in the afternoon. 

I asked a few restaurant chefs whether they're using cast iron, copper or All-Clad and a handful gave the brand a nod for sauces, sautes and things for which you need a clean, even surface. 

Have you been to the sale before? Feel free to offer strategy in the comments.
