The Cast Iron Always Pan
I’m definitely influenced by Instagram ads, but it takes a while for me to make a move. Usually I need a few months AND I need to hear good things from people I actually know (or watch obsessively on YouTube). Sometimes I will get them as a present for someone else and wait to hear what they say about it. I did just that with my mother, by buying her an Always Pan for Christmas. She began raving immediately, telling me she was going to throw out every one of her other cooking vessels. Still, I couldn’t bring myself to make the leap. I have plenty of high quality nonstick stuff at home, and to be honest, I didn’t have room in my kitchen.
But then I found out about their cast iron skillet, mainly because it’s currently on sale for 25% off. I’ve found cast iron to be a bit of pain since my mother-in-law showed me how to clean them six years ago. The thing about the Our Place version that I found intriguing was 1. It’s stunning 2. It doesn’t require any pre-seasoning or regular oiling maintenance and 3. It can be washed with soap and water.
