The reviewers I know are incredibly insightful. If you ask a member of the Gear team any query—be it about zipper integrity, the tactile experience of knobs, the resilience of materials, or whether a particular shade of blue leans more towards green—they will have a knowledgeable perspective (and data to substantiate it). So, a few years back, when my beloved grandmother presented me with the Our Place Always Pan, I felt a twinge of apprehension. WIRED contributor Joe Ray had assigned it a score of 3 out of 10.
However, my grandmother’s excitement about gifting me something stylish and practical was heartwarming, and I was taken by the pan’s aesthetic. I started cooking with it. Since then, it has become my go-to for nearly every meal.
Our Place acknowledged both customer and reviewer feedback. Ray wasn’t the sole critic of the initial version of the Always Pan. The iteration I received, and the current one available for purchase, is the upgraded Our Place Always Pan 2.0. This version comes in three different sizes, and I’ve consistently utilized the standard size measuring 10.5 inches. I adore it thoroughly.
