I’ll confess: I was well and truly sucked in by the Always Pan’s charm when it first launched. The colorful finish and versatility had me thinking I’d be using it for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
In truth, however, it’s been quite a limiting piece of cookware. Although the 2.0 version can be used in the oven, and withstand much higher heats, the initial version I had in my kitchen was limited to stovetop use, and users were advised to keep heat low in order to keep the non-stick intact. Fine for steaming dumplings or frying an egg, but more challenging for those who want to achieve a crispy salmon skin either on the stove or under the grill.
