Selena Gomez: Pop star, actor, home cook and longtime fan of the Always Pan. (Our Place)(Our Place)
Even the most enthusiastic home cooks can appreciate kitchenware that makes meal prep a little easier. Multitaskers like the Instant Pot, the air fryer and the Our Place Always Pan not only serve different cooking functions, but they do it in a compact package — which means more room on your countertops and in your cabinets! The Always Pan in particular is a fun addition to any arsenal, thanks to its beautiful colors. Even celebs are wild about it: Oprah called it a "kitchen magician;" the brand also collaborated with singer/actress/model/cooking show host Selena Gomez. Yahoo editors are fans too (check out our Always Pan review). This versatile vessel typically retails for $125, but it's currently on rare markdown during the Amazon Big Spring Sale.

Like all of Our Place's cookware, this nonstick pan is made without "forever chemicals" for peace of mind. This skillet, however, also boasts an aluminum core for excellent heat conductivity, as well as a strong titanium interior. The handle doubles as a resting spot for an included wooden spatula, and at just 3.4 pounds, it's quite light compared to other metal cookware. At nearly 40% off, this is as low as we've ever seen it.
This nonstick, stove-to-oven stunner is really like having eight tools in one and weighs just 4.5 pounds — so if you're short on arm strength, like me, it'll be a very welcome addition to your cooking arsenal.
The prettiest pieces aren't always the most useful, and when it comes to kitchenware, you want it to deliver delicious results. With that in mind, I was curious to see how well its ceramic nonstick coating (free of PTFEs, PFOAs, PFAs, lead and cadmium) would perform. I was also eager to see if it really could excel at all eight tasks the retailer claimed it could: boiling, baking, frying, roasting, braising, straining, serving and storing.
Since receiving this pot, I've made everything from stews and braises to steamed vegetables, baked pastas and even fried doughnuts! It can go from stove to oven (it's safe up to 450°F), and its aluminum construction means it heats up in no time. Most importantly, no matter what I'm making in it, I find that the heat is consistent, which results in evenly cooked food. As far as serving goes, you'll most definitely hear oohs and ahhs from dinner guests once this aesthetically pleasing pot hits the table. Choose from dreamy hues like lavender and spice.

Our Place rarely slashes the price of its bestselling Always Pan, and you'll save $26 with this deal. The only time it dipped lower was during Black Friday — by $4 — and seeing as this piece of cookware was designed to do the job of multiple kitchen tools, it's well worth it. Oh, and all three sizes are on sale. You'll save $25 on the larger 12.5-inch size and $15 on the mini 8.5-inch version. It also comes in titanium ($75 off) and cast iron ($50 off) versions.
When Selena Gomez opened up her kitchen to us with Selena & Chef on Max, shoppers couldn't get enough of her titanium rainbow knives. Then they went wild for her collab Our Place x Selena, which included the Always Pan and other curated picks in select colors. Unfortunately, her limited-edition hues are no longer available, but the standard pan is currently available in six gorgeous colors.
Our Place debuted the Always Pan back in 2019 with loads of impressive features. Great for those with small kitchens, it's got 10 uses, which makes it a go-to for pretty much any dish (hence the name). It's made with aluminum, but instead of using a nonstick coating like Teflon, its cooking surface is nonstick ceramic that, according to Our Place, is toxin-free.
Then, in April 2023, the brand updated the pan to give it a slicker, still-nontoxic, nonstick surface and made it oven-friendly (up to 450°F). That's why it's now called the Always Pan 2.0.
The 10.5-inch Always Pan 2.0 is perfect for pan-frying things like eggs and grilled cheese sandwiches, but it also has a 2.6-quart capacity with a depth of 2.8 inches so you can boil things like pasta as well. Bonus: It comes with a steamer basket that fits in the pan so you can use it to strain said pasta. It also includes a tight-fitting lid and two spouts on both sides for easy pouring. Another bonus: It has a beechwood spatula that hooks onto the spoon-rest-like handle of the pan, making storage simple.
Of course, shoppers also love this celeb-approved pan. So far, it's racked up over 1,300 five-star Amazon ratings from happy cooks.
Pros 👍
"They reinvented the wheel," raved one satisfied shopper. "I have used this pan every day since the day it arrived. It heats evenly. The cleanup is easy. The design is perfect for breakfast, lunch or dinner. It is attractive, but it is also practical, so I keep it on the stovetop."
"I am beyond impressed with this pan set!" exclaimed another. "The design is sleek and modern, and the quality is top-notch. The nonstick interior works perfectly, making cooking and cleaning a breeze. I love the included wooden spatula and the thoughtful addition of a built-in resting slot for it — no more messy countertops! ... It heats evenly, and the ergonomic handle makes it comfortable to use."
"It functions beautifully," agreed a third. "Sleek, lightweight, radiates heat evenly and [it's] very easy to clean. ... Loved it so much, [I] purchased three for gifts. Terrific pan!"
Cons 👎
"The pan is very nice, easy cleanup," said a mostly pleased buyer. "It takes me longer to cook some items since you have to cook on lower heat, but so far I’m very happy with this purchase."
"I've been using this pan for several months and even purchased the larger version," wrote a final fan. "I love these pans. They are not heavy at all and the nonstick feature works great." Their one note? "I cook a lot of Chinese food ... My only complaint is the steam basket sits quite low, so I have to add something to raise it."
Psst: Our Place's popular Dutch oven is also on sale:
As is the newer titanium version of the Always Pan:
