That's a good idea, though it wasn't an option when I bought my All Clad set
over a dozen years ago. Ebay didn't exist yet! ;-) I do find occasional uses
for that one extra stock pot, it's not that odd ball of a piece. The other
thing I've found is people's cooking interests change, and things that you
think you might not use later come in quite handy.
