No doubt kick-started by the wildly popular Our Place always pan, which does everything from boil a mountain of penne to roast a whole chicken, multi-purpose cookware has really caught on.
As someone who’s used the first and second version of the always pan, and one of its rivals, the Ninja possible pan, extensively in my kitchen, I can say with confidence that I’m on board with the all-in-one concept, but I’ve always raised an eyebrow at the price. The latest always pan, the always pan pro (which I’m yet to test), costs a whopping £185.
