Let’s talk about the Always Pan from Our Place. If you’re not familiar with the cult-favorite do-it-all pan, it’s the darling of Instagram kitchens and has amassed a huge fan base. Maybe you’ve been bombarded by the ads or seen your favorite influencer cooking their Hello Fresh dinner in the Always Pan. This pastel pan is everywhere.
The 8-in-1 wonder pan allows you to braise, sear, steam, saute, strain, boil, and fry and even has a spoon rest to boot. It promises to help streamline the cook’s life by replacing eight cookware pieces. The chic pastel cookware doesn’t come cheap, however. The Always Pan will run you $145 (although it is currently on sale for $108). And if you’re not looking to spend that kind of cash on a single pan, we’ve got you covered with some great alternatives that won’t break the bank.
We scoured the internet for the best all-in-one pans and rounded up our top picks. These options are just as versatile, many come in fun, bright colors and most importantly have a much more reasonable price tag. Read on for our favorite nonstick do-it-all pans.
Tiborang 7-in-1 Multipurpose Pan
This cute nonstick pan is a great alternative for The Always Pan and allows you to saute, steam, boil, and fry. It’s the perfect (reasonably priced) pan for a minimalist kitchen.
Anolon Nonstick Divided Grill Pan
This unique nonstick pan is divided into two sections so you can grill, sauté and fry all in one powerhouse pan.
Goodful All-In-One Pan
Just like the Always Pan, Goodful’s All-In-One nonstick pan can replace bulky kitchen cookware sets. The multi-functional pan can be used as a frying pan, sauce pan, stockpot, wok, skillet, and braiser – all for a reasonable $79.99.
Lodge Cast Iron Skillet
It’s a classic for a reason and should be a staple in any cook’s kitchen. Lodge’s cast iron skillet is incredibly durable, versatile and reasonably priced. Cast iron requires a bit more TLC when it comes to maintenance, but it’s well worth the extra attention.
ROCKURWOK Nonstick Sauce Pan
Don’t be fooled by this pan’s small stature — this colorful little pan is small but mighty. It includes a steamer and spoon, has double insulated walls for quick heating, a rust-resistant coating and stylish wood accents. It comes in just under $30 as an added bonus.
All-In-One Pan
The Cellar’s All-In-One Pan, created exclusively for Macy’s, is another great dupe for the Always Pan. The versatile pan comes with a spatula and a stainless steel steamer basket and has deep sides that give you room while you cook.
Taste plus Deep Skillet
Here’s what we love about this clay-colored pan: it’s nonstick, super deep and made of aluminum alloy for supreme durability. The smart lid has little holes on one side that allow you to evenly pour liquid out. Reviewers loved how lightweight it was and how it cooked food fast and evenly.
GreenPan Revolution Nonstick Saute Pan
This nonstick sauté pan from GreenPan makes healthy cooking easy. The ceramic nonstick coating allows you to use less oil and cleanup is a breeze. Plus, it’s dishwasher safe.
Tramontina All in One Plus Pan
This pan from Tramontina ticks the boxes on functunality and looks. It comes in fun colors like “persimmon orange” and “blueberry blue” and allows you to sauté, fry, and braise. Plus, it’s easy to clean and dishwasher safe – which many of these all-in-one pans are not!
