Spring Sale!

It’s spring, and we’ve been tidying up here at our warehouse. We’ll be listing items with minor blemishes here at extra-low prices, available while supplies last.

Factory Seconds?

What’s a “factory second?” We're glad you asked! Our quality control standards are high, so these are items that we lovingly built but decided not to ship because they didn’t quite meet our expectations. This year’s seconds include palettes with minor blemishes such as small dings, or off-center lid mixing surfaces, pans with off-center mixing surfaces, and Triad Templates that are off by between ¼–½ degrees.

Our guarantee.

We don’t sell anything we’re not proud to put our name on. Everything is useable, and each spring, we hear from many customers who can’t spot the issue with their palette or pan.

All factory seconds sales are final. However, if you receive an item you don’t feel will perform its intended purpose, please let us know, and we’ll work it out.

Have a look below and email us if you have any questions!
