Six months ago, catching me in the kitchen would have been a rare sighting. I've always been someone who eats out socially or has a peanut butter and jelly sandwich for dinner. Once shelter-in-place went into effect, I transformed into the home chef I never thought I'd be. I ran into one major problem, though: I owned pretty much no kitchenware or cookware.
As I started my shopping journey for the right pieces, I had a few requirements on my checklist. I wanted something multifunctional, because I despise kitchen clutter and having too many things. Also, I needed a choice that is extremely nonstick, because I like cooking sticky foods. Lastly, I needed something stylish that I would want to put on display. Is that too much to ask for?!
One pan that kept popping up time and time again was the Our Place Always Pan ($95, originally $145). It definitely fit the stylish bill, and when I read about the features, I knew it was the one. After just one use, I knew I had made the right decision.
The multifunctional pan does so much more than just make pancakes (but it also does that very well). The nontoxic and nonstick pan features a smart design that is well-thought-out and covers all your bases.

The deep bottom makes it perfect for cooking food like rice, burgers, eggs, stews, and, well . . . anything. It comes with a spatula and a dedicated place to rest it. Included in the price, it also comes with a stainless-steel steamer, which is perfect for broccoli, dumplings, and more.
After using the pan just a few times, I felt like I didn't need to buy anything else. Some of the things I've cooked so far have ranged from salmon to burgers and crispy rice, and none of those left a residue that was difficult to clean. Plus, it's even dishwasher friendly.
During one cooking session, I posted the pan on my Instagram Story, and a number of friends and coworkers responded to it saying, "OMG, I've been thinking about getting this; is it really worth the hype?!" I can tell you it 100 percent is. I use it every day and couldn't be happier with its easy and useful design.
Plus, right now is the perfect time to grab one because the brand is having its biggest sale ever! The pan is currently $50 off and even makes for a great gift, too. Keep reading to shop all its colours.
