Long, but worthwhile, promising review: “I bought this pan not sure it was going to live up to the hype. Yeah, it was cute (I got the green color to match my kitchen color palette) but I’ve bought plenty of cute, millennial-branded products that turned out to be all style and no substance. How good could it be? It’s phenomenal. I got it three weeks ago and since then the only time I’ve used a different pan was when the Always Pan was already in use for one dish and I needed to cook something else. The nonstick coating is great. Eggs don’t stick! Dried-on sauce doesn’t stick! Yesterday’s oatmeal doesn’t stick! It all just wipes off with almost no scrubbing, which is great, because I have no desire to put this pan in the dishwasher, because what if I need to cook something?! The pan surface heats up really quickly! I cooked on my normal boring stove, and I was shocked how much faster my pasta water came to a boil. The pan surface also heats really evenly, and is amazing at searing. I cooked steak in it last night, hoping I wasn’t making a mistake by using nonstick instead of cast iron, but it gave the steaks a flawless sear, way more even than my cast-iron pan. I was super impressed. I love the built-in spatula rest. So much. My only comment on the pan is that the hole in the spatula could be just a hair larger so that it doesn’t require any leveraging to remove from the rest, but very minor complaint. Love the steamer/strainer basket. Haven’t used it for steaming yet, but love it for pasta. It’s so much easier to just lift all the pasta out and leave the pasta water behind than carry the whole pan of boiling water over to the sink to pour out, all the while terrified that one of my cats will come in and get boiling water splashed on them or something. I love the lid, especially the steam vent feature. It’s really great for cooking grains. Basically, this pan is totally worth what you spend on it. I’m moving in six months and I’m planning to donate most of my cookware when I do. Very confident that I won’t miss any of it thanks to this pan.” —Abigail R.
