Why I Splurged on Our Place's Always Pan & Perfect Pot – And Why It Was Worth Every Penny

A few years ago, I found myself on a quest. My mission was clear yet daunting: to find the perfect pot. Not just any pot, though. I wanted something non-toxic, supremely functional, and, let's be honest, something that would look gorgeous on my stovetop. My search seemed endless until I stumbled upon a gem – the Always Pan by Our Place. It was love at first sight, but there was a catch – they didn’t ship to Australia.

Determined and undeterred, I embarked on an odyssey that not only tested my patience but also my wallet. I managed to order the Always Pan to a friend’s address overseas, who then shipped it to me. Yes, it cost me a small fortune, but when I finally held the pan in my hands, any reservations I had melted away faster than butter on a hot skillet. It was everything I had hoped for and more.

Fast forward to earlier this year, and imagine my delight when Our Place began shipping directly to Australia! By this time, my devotion to my Always Pan had only deepened, making the news even sweeter. The cherry on top? I was fortunate enough to be sent the new Always Pan 2.0 and a Perfect Pot to try out. To say I was ecstatic would be an understatement.

The Always Pan & Perfect Pot: A Love Story

The Always Pan 2.0 and Perfect Pot are not just cookware; they are culinary revolutionaries. Designed to replace a multitude of traditional cookware items, the Always Pan serves as a fry pan, sauté pan, steamer, skillet, saucier, saucepan, and more. The Perfect Pot follows suit, excelling in boiling, baking, roasting, and steaming with ease. Their non-toxic, non-stick surface ensures healthy cooking and effortless cleanup, making them a staple in my kitchen.

Aesthetics Meet Functionality

What sets these pieces apart is their impeccable design. They’re not just tools but treasures that beautify the kitchen. Available in an array of stunning colors, they complement any decor, bringing a touch of elegance to the cooking experience. My Yiayia, with her discerning eye and culinary prowess, has also fallen in love with them. Watching her cook traditional dishes with modern cookware has been a delightful fusion of past and present.

The Verdict

Was it worth the initial hurdle to get my hands on the Always Pan, followed by the joy of adding the Perfect Pot to my collection? Absolutely. These pieces have not only enhanced my cooking but also enriched my kitchen's aesthetic and my connection to food. They remind me that sometimes, the best things in life are worth the extra effort (and shipping costs).

For those who value the combination of beauty, functionality, and sustainability in their cookware, the Always Pan and Perfect Pot by Our Place might just be the love story you’re looking for in your kitchen.
