Always Pan Review: Does This $145 Pan Work?

Got a hundred year old cast iron that was my great grandmother's. Still getting used. That a true always pan.

I still don't know why your videos suck me in like they do. I just spent 21 minutes watching a review of a pan I know I'll never buy, but I enjoyed it thoroughly. Thanks for making these videos.

Get a good cast iron skillet, Sand the surface smooth, season it, learn to care for it. You will NEVER use anything else. You will get an awesome sear and intense flavor. It will cost under $40 and last hundreds of years and be passed through the generations if you care for it.

I got this pen yesterday in the mail, and when I opened it the paint along the outside of the pan was all chipped there was paint splatters inside the nonstick area, and the inside of a nonstick area was scratched by the steaming basket. pretty disappointing and if you read any reviews on Reddit or anywhere else online you will see many negative reviews about the non-stick not lasting very long the paint chipping and the enamel breaking. it's interesting if you go to the always website and you look at the reviews all of them are five star reviews but there's no where for you to leave your own review. So I'm curious how did those reviews get left over 5,000 reviews and no space to leave a review anywhere and every single review was positive.

Hey James, can you redo these tests in about 6 months. I want to see how well the nonstick holds up after 6 months of constant use.

I’d like to see an updated review of this pan in 6 months. Most “non-stick” pans are great at first but not so much after some time.

I think this pan does so well because of marketing/branding, the design and colors, and it’s very giftable. Right now it’s on sale for $92 which is a bit more reasonable I would never pay $145

You’re my goto for product reviews. Thanks for covering this pan set.

It drives me crazy when a pot/pan says it replaces so many other things, as though a person only ever uses one at a time. Even if it's great, you'd still need several other pots and pans if you cook regularly for yourself or feed a family. I'm so glad you reviewed it! I had wondered if you might!

"Cream of chicken" "starfish tuna"......I was NOT expecting that

Thanks for the review. I've been cooking w/my cast iron skillets for a while now...and I've seasoned them very well now so I will continue to use my cast iron skillets. The one thing I do like about this is the blue color, but another reviewer didn't like the way the color started to get on the bottom of the pan. With cast iron you can always get them at the good well store and restore them. Thanks again for the review

It’s one of the most aesthetically pleasing pans I’ve ever seen. I can’t decide if I want it in spice or stone, the gray color

James really cooks like a bachelor out here 😂😂

Kids come home and ask what's for dinner. "It's egg and beefy bean burritos with a side of tuna steak pasta" "You gotta stop reviewing cookware!"

This is the best review of this kind I have enjoyed. I am certainly going to purchase this.

We're approaching the 1 year mark! Can't wait for the update!

All I can say is I’m glad that this is a product review channel and not a food recipe channel. Thanks for sharing these products! 😂

Pans are hard to judge without time. I'd say this would be a great thing to come back to in a year. Also 150 bucks but isnt oven safe? What the flying fudge?

Excellent review, thank you! I've been on the sidelines if I should or shouldn't take the plunge and your review helped me decide.

My daughter just received her pot today, so thanks for the review. I sent her your video. She appreciated it.
