• All of the TikTok home accessories you never knew you needed

The bestseller from Our Place touts many capabilities: braising, searing, steaming, straining, sautéing, frying, boiling, and serving. Plus, the non-toxic, nonstick ceramic pan is said to be an eight-in-one piece that eliminates unnecessary items in your cabinets, which we're all for. And—perhaps most importantly to the users on the video-sharing platform—it's gorgeous. If your dishes don't appear terribly appetizing, at least your gear looks good! (Fake it 'til you make it, folks.) 

It's no surprise that such a popular piece has landed across the pond: the Always Pan just hit shelves in the UK, and we're fairly certain chefs-in-training will love its capabilities and stylish finish. Although we're partial to the blush-pink hue, dubbed "Spice," the pan is available in seven colorways in the UK (nine in the US) that truly pop in those cooking-hack snippets we can't resist.

And in other Always Pan news, the coveted cookware is now available in a brand-new colorway in the US: a summery yellow fittingly named "Zest," which just launched today, July 15th. The light-and-bright hue is said to be inspired by "summer’s menu and the joy of gathering again." How great for a summer picnic?!
