If you’re a fan of this new skillet, or you’ve been toying with the idea of getting one, you’ll love this latest Our Place launch. Starting today, you can get your hands on the extremely adorable Tiny Cast Iron Always Pan: a $60 mini version designed for single-serve dinners, side dishes, frying eggs, and more. And that’s not the only news — they’ve also released the Fearless Fry, a stainless steel and silicone splatter guard for frying, sautéing, and more, without any of the counter mess.

Just like its full-size counterpart, the Tiny Cast Iron Always Pan has a matte-black enameled surface for high-performing cast-iron cookware that’s also easy to clean. Achieve gorgeous sears and beautifully baked dishes minus the worries about pre-seasoning and stuck-on food that can come with traditional cast iron.

It comes in at 6.5 inches in diameter, so it’ll be great for frying an egg or two, cooking a single piece of chicken or fish, or making individual baked frittatas, cobblers, or skillet cookies (yum!). As the owner of another type of mini fry pan, I can attest to how wonderful it is cleaning such a small pan versus scrubbing a larger skillet down when you’ve only used it for a small task.

As for the Fearless Fry, Our Place’s ingenious take on a splatter guard, it’s an item you’re guaranteed to use almost daily if you do a lot of pan-searing, shallow frying, or sautéing. It has a stainless steel interior for a sturdy design and a silicone exterior for easy cleanup. Anyone who’s struggled to hand-wash their mesh splatter shield in the sink will appreciate this handy tool! What’s more is that you can fold just one side back to stir while you cook without having to remove the entire piece. And, while it’s custom-designed to fit the Always Pan and Perfect Pot, it comes in at 10.9 inches wide and 13 inches long if you want to see if it’ll fit over a skillet you already have at home.

Our Place is constantly inventing smart products to make everyday cooking much more seamless, and these two new products are certainly no exception!

Our Place has had a lot of goodies in store for us lately. First, they released Fry Deck, a handy add-on tool for easier pan- and deep-frying. Then, they announced Acid, an unexpected color that will add a bold pop of color to any kitchen. Now, Our Place is back with possibly the best news we could ask for: a huge sitewide sale. Yes, that’s right, there’s a very rare Our Place Spring Sale taking place right now with amazing discounts on everything, including their internet-famous Always Pan and Perfect Pot.

We’ve been raving about the Always Pan since it was released, praising its all-in-one capabilities as a savior for small kitchens and fuss-free cooking. Now, you can pick up your very own (or treat your favorite home cook to a special Mother’s Day or Father’s Day gift!) at a steal with this can’t-miss Our Place sale. It includes discounts of up to $40 off their famous cookware, as well as 20 percent off other Our Place essentials like the drinking glasses and pinch bowls our editors love, too (excluding bundles). The sale kicks off today, Apr. 19 and goes through May 8, but you’ll want to act fast before your favorite Always Pan colors are sold out (we’re looking at you, Lavender!).

Clearly, Our Place read our minds that it was time for some useful kitchen upgrades, especially while we spring clean. And with plenty of special occasions coming up (think: graduations and weddings), this Our Place sale is the perfect time to stock up on thoughtful cooking gifts, too! Our friends at our sister site, the Kitchn, have rounded up a few of their editor-favorite picks to help you make the most of the sale. Hurry, we have a feeling these items won’t last long.

This Popular Always Pan Color with a Huge Waitlist Is Finally Back in Stock — Get It While You Can

This Popular Always Pan Color with a Huge Waitlist Is Finally Back in Stock — Get It While You Can

If you haven’t heard about it from us yet, you’ve probably seen it all over your social media feed. It’s chic, sleek, versatile, a multi-tasker, and a bestseller. Yep, you guessed it: We’re talking about the Always Pan from fan-favorite DTC brand Our Place. Whether you’re new to the Always Pan or a longtime Our Place enthusiast, boy have we got some good news for you! The constantly sold-out, almost-impossible-to-get Lavender colorway is finally back in stock (but probably not for long!).

This dreamy hue made its debut back in 2020, and it’s sold out fast every time it’s been restocked since — as in tens of thousands of people on the waitlist. There’s nothing like a piece of unique cookware to get you excited about making dinner, and the Always Pan certainly fits the bill. That’s why we recommend you get your hands on one of these gorgeous do-it-all pans ASAP.

Although the Always Pan does come in an array of other breathtaking tones (including a brand new color, Acid), there is no hue more fitting for spring than the floral-inspired Lavender. And while this tasteful piece of cookware is quite stunning, what makes it truly unique is that it is so much more than just a looker.

In fact, the Always Pan rose to extreme popularity due to its ability to tackle the tasks of eight different kinds of cookware: frying and sauté pans, a skillet, a steamer, and a saucepan, among others. (And now, with their ingenious new gadget, frying just got a whole lot easier, too.) And since the pan itself is stylish enough to act as a centerpiece, there’s no need to transfer food out of the pan to bring it to the table. Fewer dishes to wash? Yes, please!

Every aspect of the Always Pan is thoughtfully designed. The interior is non-stick but free from all the chemicals and toxic materials usually associated with non-stick cookware. It’s lightweight (we’re talking just 3 lbs.) and constructed with an aluminum body, so it conducts heat quickly and evenly. Bottom line: It’s just as high-performing as it is beautiful.

There’s basically nothing the Always Pan can’t do, and now’s the time to snag yours in Lavender. But you’d better act fast to get your hands on one before they’re gone… again.

The Internet-Famous Always Pan Now Comes in a Shocking New Color That’s Sure to Sell Out

If you’re a frequent Kitchn reader, you’re probably familiar with Our Place, the DTC cookware brand that shook the internet a few years back when they released the editor-favorite Always Pan. The all-in-one nonstick skillet takes on the role of eight kitchen tools (and counting, as they continually release gadget-y add-ons like the new fry deck). But we aren’t just obsessed with the Always Pan for its versatility — we adore the sleek design and pop of color it adds to the kitchen. The Our Place team knows how to make great-looking cookware, and every time they release a new seasonal hue, it sells out fast.

And you heard it here first: Starting today, you can score the Always Pan in a limited-edition color that’s so chic it’ll have you running to the grocery store to cook up something just as bright and cheery. Introducing Acid, a bold, unapologetic, and fashion-forward addition to the Our Place lineup.

The Always Pan features 3″ deep, sloped walls that make it an ideal tool for steaming, frying, simmering, sautéing, and all nonstick cooking. It also functions as a spoon rest, with a wooden spatula that nestles perfectly into the ergonomic handle. If you have a small kitchen, take note — it’s the only piece of cookware you need for nearly any stovetop task.

Beyond the incredible functionality, we think every kitchen benefits from a beautifully dramatic piece of cookware to bring the room together. After all, how do you think Le Creuset came to be so popular yet forever timeless? It’s all about the colors, and Our Place is coming in hot with this new funky green. Acid is just the fun pop of color you didn’t know you needed.

Our Place Is Celebrating Lunar New Year with a Free Gift for Every Purchase of the Always Pan

Our Place Is Celebrating Lunar New Year with a Free Gift for Every Purchase of the Always Pan

You may have seen it on TikTok, your Instagram feed, or on your favorite food blog…the Always Pan is everywhere. The versatile piece is basically eight types of cookware in one display-worthy pan, with stylish colorways and a toxic-free non-stick cooking surface that has earned it a fandom among influencers, home cooks, and chefs alike. While Our Place is best known for its Always Pan, the innovative retailer has a whole group of one-of-a-kind kitchen essentials that everyone should have in their kitchen. You’ve probably seen us write about their dreamy Perfect Pot or their chic drinking glasses — Our Place even sells knives and cutting boards. What don’t they do?

When we found out that, starting on January 25th, the brand is adding a free gift with a purchase of either a Perfect Pot or Always Pan, we got excited. Who doesn’t like a free present? But the good news doesn’t stop there. Said free gift is actually (another) workhorse item that turns their already-versatile cookware pieces into even more functional must-haves.

That’s right. Through the end of the month, Our Place is throwing in their Spruce Steamer for free to add an extra function to your Always Pan or Perfect Pot. Usually $30, the free gift stacks perfectly within the rim of either piece of cookware, steaming and storing efficiently. It’s handwoven from thin spruce, has bamboo walls, and comes with a stack of 15 paper liners and a pair of chopsticks so you can get started on your steaming journey!

The free Spruce Steamer comes just in time for the Lunar New Year to help whip up scrumptious dumplings, sweet and sticky New Year Cakes, or flavorful steamed whole fish. It doesn’t stop there, though. Until February 15th, Our Place is also slipping in six Lunar New Year Envelopes for some extra luck. These limited-edition lucky red envelopes, handmade by artist Vanilla Chi, pay homage to the year of the tiger and are an even better excuse to finally get your hands on this fan-favorite cookware.

So, whether you’re celebrating Lunar New Year or not, these glorious gifts should have you heading over to Our Place right now. The free Spruce Steamer (and lucky red envelopes) will only be available for a very limited time as a gift, so act fast and don’t tempt your luck — at least when it comes to a deal this good.
