Let’s talk about the Always Pan from Our Place. If you’re not familiar with the cult-favorite do-it-all pan, it’s the darling of Instagram kitchens and has amassed a huge fan base. Maybe you’ve been bombarded by the ads or seen your favorite influencer cooking their Hello Fresh dinner in the Always Pan. This pastel pan is everywhere.
The 8-in-1 wonder pan allows you to braise, sear, steam, sauté, strain, boil, and fry and even has a spoon rest to boot. It promises to help streamline the cook’s life by replacing eight cookware pieces. The chic pastel cookware doesn’t come cheap, however. The Always Pan will run you $129. But if you’re not looking to spend that kind of cash on a single pan, we’ve got you covered with some great alternatives that won’t break the bank.
We scoured the internet for the best all-in-one pans and rounded up our top picks. These options are just as versatile, many come in fun, bright colors and most importantly have a much more reasonable price tag. Read on for our favorite nonstick do-it-all pans.
