Cooking with a cast iron pan
Disclosure: Thank you Our place and ShopStyle sponsored today’s post. I am so lucky to work with brands that I really love and use in my daily life.
The appearance of a new pan makes for the most enjoyable part of my week, but this week, it just happened. If you’ve been with LIY for a while, chances are you’ve heard me talk about pan that I swear will cover all your cooking needs – well, that pan is now available in a brand new version, introducing Cast Iron Always Pan. That’s right, Our place decided to bring everyone’s favorite Always rotate cast iron version to enhance your cooking experience even more. Turns out I’m not the only one excited about this release – the waiting list for this pan is over 30,000
Here’s what you need to know about it [aside from the obvious – the pan looks so good on your stove, on your table, anywhere in your kitchen, just look at those colors]. With this Cast Iron Always Pan Now you can take your favorite pan from the stove directly into the oven [and even broiler], grill, sear, fry, sauté, grill, grill, stew, braise, and serve..all from just one pan. I’m ordering this baking press to master the art of breaking burgers at home next [yes, my mouth is watering just thinking about it].
A few words about why I enjoy working with Our place and the impact they are making! Shiza Shahid co-founded Our Place to build a business rooted in representation and impact. Shiza grew up in Pakistan as an advocate for women’s rights and social justice. She co-founded the Malala Foundation with her friend Malala Yousafzai and built the organization as the Founding CEO. She was named one of Time Magazine’s 30 People Who Changed the World. Shiza launches Our Place to bring people together around food and home cooking. Guided by this vision, Our Place offers causes ranging from food justice to civil rights.
Now, on this pan…
I was delighted to see it has a built-in spoon rest like original always Pan! The Gang Always Pan pan comes with a heat handle that slides onto the handle so it doesn’t get hot!
Another well-loved feature is the glass lid where you can see your masterpiece while you cook.
The pan itself weighs 6.9 pounds [she is legit friends] moderate weight so there aren’t any hot spots and maximum heat retention. I haven’t even scratched the surface of what this skillet is capable of – I feel like my cooking world has been opened up to so many ideas with this pan. I mentioned my desire to master the world of burgers, didn’t I? Between this pan and this baking pressall things possible.
Take your masterpiece from the stove directly to the oven to bake if needed and then from the oven to the table to serve straight from! When I say this pan does it all, I mean, it does it all. Who’s ready to jump in gang train with me?!
