If you're like me and wouldn't spend over $30 on a pan - read this

First things first, I’m one of those people who would just never pay over $30 for a pan. Seriously, how good can it be?!

Well, a few years ago, I was gifted the Our Place Always Pan 2.0 as a housewarming present, and ever since, I’ve changed my stance on splurging on a pan. My new philosophy is to splurge on items that I use every day—bedding, office chair and desk, couch, and of course, kitchen stuff. And it does help that I create food videos on TikTok, so I need to have an aesthetic kitchen, right?!

But let’s dive into what exactly makes this item splurge-worthy and why Black Friday is the best time to buy it (they hardly do deals throughout the year).

What is it?

The Always Pan 2.0 is marketed as a “10 in 1 bestselling cookware system that does it all.” But does it really do it all? Let’s discuss.

The Always Pan 2.0 serves as all of the following: fry pan, sauté pan, steamer, roasting dish, baking dish, skillet, saucier, nonstick pan, spatula, and spoon rest.

You might be wondering why “spoon rest” is on there. That’s because it has an incredibly convenient functionality that allows you to rest the spatula on the pan’s handle while you’re cooking. It is one of my favorite things about the pan because it really elevates the experience of cooking. Plus, no mess in the kitchen.

Another great feature about the pan is that the nonstick ceramic coating is made without potentially toxic materials, and it is oven-safe. Now, for those of us who cannot live without their dishwasher (me!), here’s the kicker: while it is dishwasher safe, it’s not recommended. I know, I know. But on the bright side, it will literally replace all your other pans, and you’ll reach for it every day. So if you do handwash it, you’ll only have to handwash one pan a day.

Don’t just take my word for it. Check out what over 37,688 reviewers had to say about it:

Vicky J. says it’s the “best pan on the market,” adding, “Best cooking pan I have ever owned! Can’t imagine using any other type of pan or brand. Love the nonstick surface, which is so easy to clean and heats up and cooks so fast. Really love the two tiny openings on opposite sides of the pan for easily draining liquids out of the pan conveniently, as well as a heat release to prevent boiling over. Best pan on the market!!”
Richard S. says it’s “expensive but worth it,” adding, “I plan to collect all of their products.”

Pricing

Speaking of expensive items, the one great thing about this Black Friday deal is that this brand rarely does deals like this. The pan is usually sold at a $150 price point, and it is now $95—that’s $55 off, which is pretty significant when you’re buying an item like this.

In terms of sizing, there are two more options you can explore. You can opt for a mini 8.5” size, which is $80 and perfect if you live alone and only cook for one or two people. Or the large 12.5” size, ideal for family dinners and batch cooking.

Aesthetics

Now, let’s talk about aesthetics because that’s really one of the major selling points of the Always Pan 2.0. With every pan, there are at least six colors to choose from. And these colors are truly some of the best I’ve seen… and I’m not just saying it because I’m a millennial who loves a good aesthetic color.

It’s really a standout item in any kitchen. You know your old stainless steel pans that you want to tuck into the oven—like all our Latinx parents did—when you have guests coming over? This is a pan you’ll actually want to leave out as a kitchen accessory of sorts because it looks so good. You’ll definitely get questions about it from your guests.
