Thank you Instagram for much of what we rue. Often instantly. “I was seeing this all over Instagram and I was understandably excited. “ says the former owner of the $145 Always Pan from Our Place. It “promises to do the work of eight pieces of traditional cookware". What a deal. Except, it doesn’t work as promised. The once-hot pan isn’t so hot after all. Good luck recouping some of the purchase price. Yesterday’s $145 is today’s yard sale or trash bin.
Beware the army of influencers telling you it’s the best pan in the world. Beware of the company’s exclusivity pitch- “cult favorite, best-selling, wait-list inducing.” Cults should generally be avoided. And often times wait-list means just wait and you’ll realize you don’t want a “Target-level product masquerading as a luxury item.”
Our Place has released an Always Pan 2.0 with new and improved features and a new and improved price of $195.
Insta-rue, 2.0? One bitten, twice shy.
