The Home Ownership Thread

[MGoCrimson]

I have many allclads from their factory sale as well. Haven’t noticed any flaws over the years.

All-Clad seconds are like AE seconds but even better. Not sure I've ever noticed the flaw, and even then, the flaw is gonna be something you wouldn't notice after the 3rd time washing the pot (I think being out of round or not having a flat base is beyond "2nd quality" for them).

You can put in a fake email address, although if you get on their mailing list they often send pre-sale entry codes with additional % off (and first dibs on the inventory). This sale has been open for a few days, so some items have probably already sold (and there is no bonus discount right now), but there are still some good deals.

I personally think the TK line is some of the best value, although you might have to buy a lid separately (one of my saucepans actually came with a lid, the other did not). I think those lollipop lids are dumb, but you can just order a lid from a different all clad line that actually fits the pot.

The TK handles are better IMHO, and they basically just choose the best line for each pot and give them all a matching finish. So the saucepans are all from the copper core line, the fry pans are from the D5 line, and big stock pots/roasters are from the standard 3-ply stainless line. The Tk 3-qt sauce pot is probably my favorite pan...and $89 isn't a terrible price (way less than you'd have to pay for the same pan from the "copper core" line with that stupid line around the bottom).

Personally, I'm waiting for them to have the flared roaster in stock again...otherwise I am pretty set on pans right now.

Good looking out.
I don’t care what anybody says, AC copper core is the shiznit!

De Buyer is the real deal.

Thanks for the heads-up on this link! I have a bunch of Calphalon Tri-ply stainless, but I think I'm going to take advantage of this site to fill in some other pieces to round out my collection.

Pretty amazing.

undersupply, compounding since the last 15 or 20 years. the middle class has become the landed class i guess.

 

[brokencycle]

Damn, I bought at 23 in 2010.

Also boomers retiring/downsizing/living longer

This isn't median age of first time homebuyers here (although I fully expect that number to have risen as well)

 

[patrickBOOTH]

Yeah, I bought at 25 in 2010

 

[Gibonius]

The average age of Americans is going up too, which plays some role in that. Up from 30 in 1980 to 38 now.

Well, it would helped for me to read the title of the chart closely.

My wife bought the condo she had when we met at 25. We bought our house 11 years later when I was 40.

I was 39 (or so, can’t remember for sure) when I bought my first house. Guess I’m more Millennial than some of you...

Realistically, that's what I'm on pace for.
