So a few years ago, when my late grandmother gifted me the Our Place Always Pan, I was a little nervous. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/review\/our-place-always-pan\/\">WIRED contributor Joe Ray had given it a 3 out of 10<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>But I loved my grandma, who was very excited about gifting me something trendy and useful, and the pan looked cool. So I cooked on it. And I\u2019ve cooked 99 percent of my meals on it ever since.<\/p>\n<p>Our Place heard customer and reviewer feedback. Ray wasn\u2019t the only person on the internet who\u2019d taken issue with the first iteration of the Always Pan. The one I received, and the one that\u2019s for sale now, is the revamped Our Place Always Pan 2.0. It\u2019s available in three sizes. I\u2019ve always used the standard size, which measures 10.5 inches. And I love it to pieces.<\/p>\n<p><native-ad position=\"in-content\" shoulddisplaylabel=\"true\"\/><\/p>\n<figure class=\"AssetEmbedWrapper-eVDQiB byBkf asset-embed\">\n<div class=\"AssetEmbedAssetContainer-eJxoAx dBHGoQ asset-embed__asset-container\"><span class=\"SpanWrapper-umhxW kGxnNB responsive-asset AssetEmbedResponsiveAsset-cXBNxi eCxVQK asset-embed__responsive-asset\"><picture class=\"ResponsiveImagePicture-cWuUZO dUOtEa AssetEmbedResponsiveAsset-cXBNxi eCxVQK asset-embed__responsive-asset responsive-image\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Side view of Our Place Always Pan 2.0 a beige cooking pan with dark blue exterior and matching lid\" class=\"ResponsiveImageContainer-eybHBd fptoWY responsive-image__image lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/678bc716faa86de18b2d6e7a\/master\/w_1600%2Cc_limit\/Our-Place-Always-Pan-2.0-side-lid-on-Reviewer-Photo-SOURCE-Louryn-Strampe.jpg\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/678bc716faa86de18b2d6e7a\/master\/w_120,c_limit\/Our-Place-Always-Pan-2.0-side-lid-on-Reviewer-Photo-SOURCE-Louryn-Strampe.jpg 120w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/678bc716faa86de18b2d6e7a\/master\/w_240,c_limit\/Our-Place-Always-Pan-2.0-side-lid-on-Reviewer-Photo-SOURCE-Louryn-Strampe.jpg 240w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/678bc716faa86de18b2d6e7a\/master\/w_320,c_limit\/Our-Place-Always-Pan-2.0-side-lid-on-Reviewer-Photo-SOURCE-Louryn-Strampe.jpg 320w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/678bc716faa86de18b2d6e7a\/master\/w_640,c_limit\/Our-Place-Always-Pan-2.0-side-lid-on-Reviewer-Photo-SOURCE-Louryn-Strampe.jpg 640w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/678bc716faa86de18b2d6e7a\/master\/w_960,c_limit\/Our-Place-Always-Pan-2.0-side-lid-on-Reviewer-Photo-SOURCE-Louryn-Strampe.jpg 960w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/678bc716faa86de18b2d6e7a\/master\/w_1280,c_limit\/Our-Place-Always-Pan-2.0-side-lid-on-Reviewer-Photo-SOURCE-Louryn-Strampe.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/678bc716faa86de18b2d6e7a\/master\/w_1600,c_limit\/Our-Place-Always-Pan-2.0-side-lid-on-Reviewer-Photo-SOURCE-Louryn-Strampe.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"100vw\"\/><\/noscript><\/picture><\/span><\/div>\n<p><span class=\"BaseWrap-sc-gjQpdd BaseText-ewhhUZ CaptionCredit-ejegDm iUEiRd isTgyB fNaHcW caption__credit\">Photograph: Louryn Strampe<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<h2>Second Chance<\/h2>\n<p>The negative feedback on the first iteration of the pan was valid. It had quality-control issues, like an uneven surface on the bottom, inconsistent cooking surfaces from pan to pan, and inconsistent paint jobs. It also wasn\u2019t oven-safe. But I\u2019m happy to report that in my experience with two separate Always Pan 2.0 models (the gift I received and another I called in to compare), this pan is now nearly perfect. And that\u2019s before you account for any of the myriad accessories available to complement it. It\u2019s available in a bunch of colors, and every pan includes a lid, a steamer basket (that doubles as a colander), and a nesting spatula.<\/p>\n<p>I reached out to the company to see what had changed from the original pan to the Always Pan 2.0. The newer pan has improved nonstick performance, better stain resistance, and an induction-friendly, oven-safe design. The form also got some changes, like a roomier helper handle and curvature improvements. The company didn\u2019t officially address the convex cooking surfaces or chipping paint that Joe Ray took issue with, but my cooking surfaces (on two pans) have been fine, and the paint on both pans looks great (even up close).<\/p>\n<figure class=\"AssetEmbedWrapper-eVDQiB byBkf asset-embed\">\n<div class=\"AssetEmbedAssetContainer-eJxoAx dBHGoQ asset-embed__asset-container\"><span class=\"SpanWrapper-umhxW kGxnNB responsive-asset AssetEmbedResponsiveAsset-cXBNxi eCxVQK asset-embed__responsive-asset\"><picture class=\"ResponsiveImagePicture-cWuUZO dUOtEa AssetEmbedResponsiveAsset-cXBNxi eCxVQK asset-embed__responsive-asset responsive-image\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Overhead view of Our Place Always Pan 2.0 with the blue lid beside it\" class=\"ResponsiveImageContainer-eybHBd fptoWY responsive-image__image lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/678bc52115334a4e6bfa8fe4\/master\/w_1600%2Cc_limit\/Our-Place-Always-Pan-2.0-overhead-lid-off-Reviewer-Photo-SOURCE-Louryn-Strampe.jpg\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/678bc52115334a4e6bfa8fe4\/master\/w_120,c_limit\/Our-Place-Always-Pan-2.0-overhead-lid-off-Reviewer-Photo-SOURCE-Louryn-Strampe.jpg 120w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/678bc52115334a4e6bfa8fe4\/master\/w_240,c_limit\/Our-Place-Always-Pan-2.0-overhead-lid-off-Reviewer-Photo-SOURCE-Louryn-Strampe.jpg 240w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/678bc52115334a4e6bfa8fe4\/master\/w_320,c_limit\/Our-Place-Always-Pan-2.0-overhead-lid-off-Reviewer-Photo-SOURCE-Louryn-Strampe.jpg 320w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/678bc52115334a4e6bfa8fe4\/master\/w_640,c_limit\/Our-Place-Always-Pan-2.0-overhead-lid-off-Reviewer-Photo-SOURCE-Louryn-Strampe.jpg 640w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/678bc52115334a4e6bfa8fe4\/master\/w_960,c_limit\/Our-Place-Always-Pan-2.0-overhead-lid-off-Reviewer-Photo-SOURCE-Louryn-Strampe.jpg 960w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/678bc52115334a4e6bfa8fe4\/master\/w_1280,c_limit\/Our-Place-Always-Pan-2.0-overhead-lid-off-Reviewer-Photo-SOURCE-Louryn-Strampe.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/678bc52115334a4e6bfa8fe4\/master\/w_1600,c_limit\/Our-Place-Always-Pan-2.0-overhead-lid-off-Reviewer-Photo-SOURCE-Louryn-Strampe.jpg 1600w\" data-sizes=\"100vw\"\/><\/noscript><\/picture><\/span><\/div>\n<p><span class=\"BaseWrap-sc-gjQpdd BaseText-ewhhUZ CaptionCredit-ejegDm iUEiRd isTgyB fNaHcW caption__credit\">Photograph: Louryn Strampe<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My fellow WIRED reviewers are some of the smartest people I know.
