Photo: Aldi Since the holiday season has come and gone, chances are, you spotted the Our Place Always Pan on at least one gift guide. The cult-favorite pan has earned more than 14,000 five-star reviews and has fans raving, "This pan is amazing! I use it every single day. Frying, sautéing, reheating, steaming, boiling, it does it all. It truly is the best!" Beloved for being super versatile—hence the "Always" moniker that hints to how you'll want it on your stovetop at all times to use early and often throughout the day—the Our Place pan is famous for working with all types of cooktops (including induction), for being coated in non-toxic and non-stick ceramic, for coming with a lid, spatula and steamer basket, plus having a pour spout and spoon rest built right into its 3-pound aluminum frame. (Whew, no wonder it keeps selling out!) But, despite all those features and its ability to "replace 8 traditional pieces of cookware," according to the brand, the Always Pan is also renowned for being quite an investment. The retail price is hefty at $145 (buy it: $145, Our Place) and sales are rare.
