Hello, hello, friends!! Today’s post is a bit of a departure from my usual, but when I find something that makes my life easier, I can’t not share it with you!
Yes ma’am, today I’m talking about the Our Place Always Pan! I know what you’re thinking, ‘Calm down, Cassie, it’s a skillet!’ But y’all, that’s the thing, it’s so much more than just a skillet, and it has made all things cooking so much easier. Not to mention, clean-up is a breeze! #praise
Let’s back up, shall we? If you’re on social media, chances are you’ve heard of the Our Place Always Pan… it’s been literally everywhere for the last year. But that’s to be expected considering Oprah herself raves about it!
The Our Place Always Pan has already developed a cult following, and is being used by everyone from the New York Times to Food & Wine. And yes, by Oprah, too! At one point, it had a waitlist of over 30,000 people! So you can understand why I was influenced by the hype, and ordered it for myself!
If you follow my Instagram Stories, then you know where this review is going, because I literally can’t stop yammering about it over there. I’ve cooked everything from eggs and pancakes to veggies and steaks, and am blown away every time.
Even my kids commented on the Our Place Always Pan the first time they cooked with it. And if you have teenagers, you know that’s huge for them to even notice if a pan is new, let alone be impressed enough to say something! I’m so impressed, I ordered it for over half my Christmas List.
So, why all the hype for the Our Place Always Pan?
Not only is it non-stick and non-toxic, but the Our Place Always Pan is basically 7 pieces of cookware in one… a skillet, non-stick pan, saucepan, fry pan, spatula rest, colander, and steamer. You can braise, sear, steam, strain, saute, fry, boil, serve, and store with just the Always Pan.
Plus, it comes with a coordinating lid, wooden spatula, steamer basket, and colander. Oh yeah, even a special sponge that keeps it looking brand-new, even after the messiest meals!
It’s made of superior non-toxic non-stick ceramic coating, without teflon, toxic metals, or potentially harmful materials, so you can feel good about cooking for your family in it. You also need less oil to prepare your food, so dishes are healthier! Flip your pancakes or fry an egg without ever having it stick to your pan… it’s genius!
Is it weird that I love how the Our Place Always Pan looks, too? I keep it on my stovetop between uses, and the little pop of green makes me so happy! It comes in a range of colors or standard gray.
I love the built-in spoon rest too… no more charred spoons and messy countertops!
Care tips for the Our Place Always Pan:
+ 1-2 tablespoons of oil or butter is more than enough to lightly coat the Always Pan’s entire surface. High smoke point oils are recommended… extra virgin olive, refined coconut, avocado, and peanut oils as well as ghee.
+ Avoid cooking on high heat
+ Hand wash with warm soapy water to extend the life of the non-stick coating. It comes with a special sponge that cleans it with barely any elbow grease!
+ Use non-metal utensils to avoid damaging the coating (the pan comes with a wooden spatula).
Clearly I’m smitten… but can you blame me?! I actually look forward to cooking, and the Our Place Always Pan has eliminated the dread of clean-up, too!

I am a food blogger so this is a MUST for me! Thanks for the glowing review!
Oh yes, I’m sure you’d use this pan all the time if you don’t have it already!!! xo, C
I’ve been wanting to pull the trigger on this pan after hearing all your rave reviews, but I wish they had a bigger size! I’m cooking for 7 people and I don’t think that pan would quite hold everything. I’m a bit bummed. :/
Hi Jaclyn! It’s not the largest skillet I’ve ever had, but not having to clean it in between batches sure saves me a lot of time!!! xo, C
Really pricey in my opinion. Not for your average family during these hard times.
Hi Debbie! It is a little pricey, but with how much more cooking I’ve done this year, it really is worth it! The cost per use is pennies! However, of course no one needs a new skillet if the one they’re using works fine, to each their own. <3 C
I ordered one in November (not here yet) but now I’m a bit alarmed about your comment, “avoid cooking on high heat.” So better for simmering? That’s a bit limiting, can you explain?
Hi Suzanne! Actually, most non-stick pans advise to avoid the super high heat setting for the most part, unless you’re searing. I just keep my burner at 8 or below! I use this pan to cook everything, don’t worry! xo, C
