Having the time and flexibility to cook at home has always seemed like a luxury to me, but now it s become my new reality. With COVID-19 spreading in New York City and across the globe, I m among the people now working from home, substituting packed lunches for meals made à la minute.
Enter: the Our Place Always pan. I’ve been using this spice-colored all-in-one pan for a few months now, and it has been a complete game changer in my kitchen. I’ve cooked everything from pasta rigatoni to filet mignon, kung pao chicken, and—my favorite—steamed dumplings.
The pan s non-stick, teflon-free ceramic surface means sunny-side eggs slide off easily, and its size makes it fit neatly above my stove. But honestly, I don t put it away that often: given its chic minimalist appeal, I m more likely to display it proudly on my stove top, where it doubles as home decor. (I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had guests compliment it.) While a $145 pan might seem steep at first, this one feels like a steal because it essentially does the job of eight traditional pans, without the fuss or clutter of a traditional set. For my tiny NYC kitchen (or anyone looking to streamline their home for items that “do more with less"), this is a clear winner. I love that it comes complete with a chic modular lid on top, easy pour spout, steaming basket, and even a spatula that perfectly nests into the handle.
As I combat stress with pasta bolognese and stock my freezer with Trader Joe s, I know every piece will serve me well.
