We tried out the fan-favorite Always Pan that replaces eight pieces of cookware

Here at New York Post Shopping, we’re all about saving you time and money. So naturally, we love multi-use products, like Vitamix’s 5200 Blender, that can chop whole foods and even heat up soup.

When we discovered Our Place’s Always Pan picking up steam on social media, we simply had to put the pan that can replace eight pieces of traditional cookware to the test.

Aside from its versatility, the much-clamored-about pan has an Instagram-worthy bodice that comes in a beautiful palette — including its popular spice hue, a bold and tangy ‘lemon zest’ color and a modern-looking pewter shade.

Ahead, find our Always Pan review, along with our first impressions and thoughts on Our Place’s Spruce Steamer (though there’s an included stainless steamer with an Always Pan purchase) that’ll inspire you to whip up dumplings and vegetables from the comfort of your stovetop.

What the Always Pan can do

Let’s first talk about the “do-it-all wonder” and the magic it claims to bring to your cooking game. The Always Pan is an alleged cult favorite for its ability to replace your fry pan, nonstick pan, saucier, saucepan, saute pan, skillet, spatula, spoon rest and steamer.

Plus, the ceramic-coated burner BFF checks yes to boiling, braising, frying, sauteing, searing, steaming and straining all on its fabulous lonesome. Not to mention, you can take the pan from stovetop to table to serve your delicious meal, or straight to the refrigerator to store leftovers.

Hence, it’s a plan you won’t use often, but “always.”

With a pan as versatile as this one, you’ll want to buy one for yourself ASAP.

The pan is exclusively designed with a nonstick coating that’s void of PFOAs, PTFEs, PFAs, cadmium, lead, nanoparticles and toxic metals — things you learn about in science class that don’t pair well with morning scrambled hash or dinnertime ravioli and veggies.

What’s more, the Always Pan is compatible with all cooktops — even induction! — and a modular lid to let steam escape or to lock it in when preferred. Oh, and did we talk about the included nesting steamer basket and colander?

Yes, it’s a two-in-one product in an eight-in-one product. Mind blown!

What we liked about the Always Pan

We’re getting into the nitty-gritty, starting with the unboxing of the Always Pan and other cooking tools all the way to the final rinse and clean.

Its sustainable packing: When FedEx rang my doorbell with the Our Place box, the excitement made me do it, meaning I practically ripped it open and set it on my cooktop to admire the Instagram-turned-reality beaut.

Inside the cardboard boxes were a carefully packaged pan, cutting board, knives and bamboo steamer, all encased with more cardboard strips that said bye-bye to any and all plastic wrapping — a win for the sustainable-minded pan-user.

Also included is a miniature sponge that comes with cleaning instructions professionally attached (with a chic gold paperclip, no less). It’s advised to give the pan a nice wash before its first use.

Its versatility: This basically goes without saying, but the ability for it to do eight different things — and yes, we tried them all — is unmatched. I live with my parents who have a million and one pans, pots and lids that somehow all fit in our kitchen cabinets, and this completely replaces the need for about 80% of them.

It’s really nonstick: Starting off with one of the most simple dishes to hash out in the Always Pan: — grilled cheese. With a splash of oil, my lunch break creation turned out exquisite and I was impressed by how it’s the poster pan for nonstick. I didn’t vigilantly coat the sides of the pan and only focused on the base, and there was no sticky residue or embedded oil.

Its spill-preventative high structure: Something that’s much less hyped about is its thickness. When on your burner, the Always Pan has a base that goes higher than most frying and saute pans, which means it’s nearly impossible for liquids to splatter or ingredients to spill out. And even though the pan comes with a sturdy lid that doesn’t budge, it’s a bonus feature that adds less stress to the cooking experience.

Its capacity: After my tomato and cheese-packed sandwich, I wanted to cook a dinner dish in the Always Pan that had a sauce-like broth and would allow me to fill up most of the pan, just to see how it measured up. I have much larger pans that I cook with, so I was a bit skeptical about how many additions would comfortably fit in the pan.

Of course, I had to make an Italian-style Laura Vitale, which was absolutely delectable. And, you best bet I used a bottle of Brightland olive oil to kick off the cooking party.

With a little over a pound of chicken breast and a garden of onions, peppers and mushrooms, everything sat nicely in the pan. And, when I had to cook everything with the lid partially off, it perfectly nestled off to the pan’s side.
