Always Pan – Our Favorite Pan For Elevated, Effortless Entertaining
September 25, 2022We believe in effortless, elevated entertaining with more time around the table with friends and family. That’s why we LOVE the Always Pan from Our Place – a gorgeous pan perfect for the it-girl aesthetic, coming in a variety of gorgeous colors, and is easy to use and clean! It functions as a “fry pan, saute pan, steamer, skillet, saucier, saucepan, nonstick pan, spatula, and spoon rest and can braise, sear, steam, strain, saute, fry, boil, serve, and store”.
Its non-stick, ceramic surface (made without PTFEs and PFOAs) makes cooking and cleaning a breeze. Your purchase even includes a steamer basket and beechwood spatula so you can serve with ease and style!
Our Place is also a fellow female-founded company – started by Shiza Shahid, an immigrant from Pakistan whose heritage inspired her do-it-all cookware.
We are all about elevating and celebrating every day & supporting fellow female-founded and minority-owned businesses. Click here for our favorite woman-owned items to incorporate for a girl-power-themed soirée.
