The first thing I did with Our Place’s new Titanium Always Pan Pro was burn a curry in it. Not in an “oh no, I’ve wrecked the new pan” way. I mean a “call the fire brigade” way. Smoke, chaos, all of it.
You see, I don’t have a microwave (don’t ask). If I’m reheating leftovers, a quick blast in the pan ought to do it. But the mind wanders sometimes. Deadlines are looming. The poor leftovers get forgotten (again). And voila, the new pan gets wrecked. Or does it?
The new pan didn’t get wrecked at all that day. Quite the opposite, actually. The bloody thing scrubbed up so well I was back on the curry express in no time.
I’ve done more with the Titanium Always Pan Pro than carbonise curries with it. I’ve grilled snags and made sauces with it. Fried and steamed dumplings in it. I’ve even boiled noodles and pasta in it. (American food writer Kenji Lopez-Alt recommends this method for starchier pasta water – I’ve never looked back.)
Much like the brand’s popular 10-in-1 ceramic Always pan, the Titanium Always Pan Pro is deep and wide enough to do just about anything. But it’s the first to flaunt Our Place’s new non-stick technology, which is coating free and made without the PFAS (aka forever chemicals) often found in Teflon. You can pop it in an oven (it can withstand temperatures of up to 535 degrees Celsius) or dishwasher (I don’t have one of those either), too.
And while it also handles metal utensils and scours with ease, what I really love about the Titanium Always Pan Pro is the sexy beechwood spatula it comes with. Also, the satisfying slot for it that’s built right into the chrome handle.
All of the above amounts to an elite kitchen tool that’s since replaced an old frypan and two pots, each battered from years of sharehouse living. There’s really only one problem with the Titanium Always Pan Pro – what to do with all my now-redundant cookware?
