The Our Place Always Pan, having sold out 10 times in the US and accumulated a waiting list of over 50,000 people, has become one of the most sought-after kitchen items in recent years. But you might be wondering, what’s so special about this saucepan?
Keen to see if it was worth the buzz, I put the 10-in-1 pan to the test over several weeks and the chic cookware did not let me down. Not only is the game-changing pan a visual treat, but its functionality is also top-notch. It can do everything from searing to steaming, boiling, baking, straining and serving.
If your kitchen cabinets are overflowing with various pots and pans, there’s nothing better than discovering a piece of cookware that can solve this issue. Usually selling for £130 at full price, the Always Pan is now down to £95 in the Our Place spring sale, offering up to 34% off. It’s also available at Selfridges for the same discount here.
This limited-time deal saves shoppers over £35, so if you’re planning to invest in one, now is an excellent time to grab this offer.
The Our Place spring sale also includes their best-selling bundles – the 4-piece Cookware Set Pro is reduced from £535 to £350. It includes The Perfect Pot, Mini Perfect Pot, Mini Always Pan and the brand new Titanium Always Pan Pro which alone costs £175.
The Always Pan was surprisingly lighter than I anticipated. It’s made from aluminium but boasts a specially designed lightweight construction.This means it doesn’t feel like you’re lifting weights when it’s filled with water or food and you need to move it to the sink or dining table.
When it comes to cooking, you want a pan that heats up in no time. With the Always Pan, I didn’t find myself twiddling my thumbs waiting for it to heat up – it was so quick I barely noticed any wait time. Plus, it retains heat brilliantly, ensuring your food stays piping hot and is oven safe up to 230C.
These days, I cook most of my meals in the Always Pan. It’s been used for everything from pasta dishes to fried eggs and pancakes. I particularly enjoy using the steaming function for vegetables and dumplings. It excels at cooking every dish I’ve tried, eliminating the need for most other kitchen pans.
Usually, I’m only cooking for one or two people, but if you have a larger family, the Large Always Pan might be a better fit as there’s only so much one pan can hold, regardless of its features. It was originally priced at £155 but is now down to £130 as part of the spring sale.
As expected, the Always Pan is without a doubt the most attractive piece of cookware I own. It’s available in a range of colours to match your kitchen decor, including sage, spice, lavender and blue salt.
At £95, the Always Pan might seem a bit steep, but trust me, it’s worth every penny when you’re using it nearly every day. In comparison, the Ninja Foodie 9-in-1 Possible Pan will set you back £99.99 currently down from £129.99, and a Le Creuset Pan even more at £155. There are cheaper alternatives out there, like this multipurpose pan from Amazon for £53.88.
