Whether you’ve just started your cooking journey like me or are a pro with recipes galore, having one quality pan can genuinely make all the difference as you create meals from the comfort of your home. My favorite is this pan from Our place — the most versatile kitchen appliance I own and my most used option.
While you can purchase it in a cookware set like I did, you can also buy it independently. For a limited time, you can get it for yourself (or as a poison if you’re starting Black Friday shopping) since it’s at its lowest price ever from popular retailers, including Amazon and Target.

Our Place Always Pan 2.0
4.6-star average rating from 30,402 reviews at Our Place
This lightweight, editor-approved and tested pan has 10-in-1 functionality, and you can use it to roast, braise, steam, fry and more. The 10.5-inch pan has a ceramic nonstick coating and an aluminum body for fast and even heat distribution. I love that I can do anything with it — and it’s even oven-safe, which is convenient because it requires fewer dishes and works for all of my recipes. Because it’s my most used pan, I’m consistently washing it, and even after every use, it remains pristine.
Its adaptability and ease of use are also why it’s a favorite of NBC Select reporter Zoe Malin. “The Always Pan is also truly nonstick,” says Malin. “My food never gets stuck to it, which makes plating and cleaning a breeze. I’m also a big fan of that accessories you can add to the Always Pan, which makes it even more versatile. For example, I have the bamboo steamer, which is great for making dumplings.”
The Our Place Always Pan 2.0 comes in three sizes — mini, standard and large. Regardless of the size you choose, it comes with a steam-release lid and spatula. The standard option also comes with a steamer basket and colander. It’s also available in six colors, including Steam, Lavender and Blue Salt.
