      IKR? I can use my cast iron pan anywhere on any heat, and it's non-stick too. I bake my cornbread in that sucker! Of course, it can't go into the dishwasher, but you really don't even have to wash it. Just wipe it out with a wet cloth and dry it well. Seriously, best $5 I ever spent at a thrift store.

    I love how you have to be soooo gentle on how you care for the always pan (Ex: wash with special sponge, no oven, no dishwasher, etc) and then they decide to include a METAL steamer basket. Does anyone else see that this is a problem? Like heeelllloooo metaaaal! Really?! They couldn't give you a silicon basket or at least a metal basket with silicone legs (or something like that) so it doesn't scratch your $145 pan?

I got 2 really good size pots by Tramontina in a stunning gradient teal. I have cooked many times in it, and other than seeing the name and feeling special, I haven't seen a difference in quality or use. The double set was I think $69 bux!!! One or two posters (not many) online whined they chipped, but all put in oven at high temps and the dishwasher. These virtually wipe clean w/a paper towel (when looking caked/dried on), so why mess with the lifting in and out of the dishwasher?. They are as heavy as the original, so some warm, soapy water and they look brand new! They also come w/a warranty from the company, and Costco will usually take anything back within reason, so double warranty. Using it for Chicken Cacciatore tomorrow!! So I no longer think it's worth paying for a LeCrueset, unless you want some very unusual size

    As a wedding gift, I gave my granddaughter the Always pan in "steam" (Joanna Gaines farmhouse neutral) As a promo, it came with an additional bamboo steamer basket. She owns a bakery business so I preached the "Thou Shalt Not Use In Oven" commandment. Then my nephew got a job as chef in an upscale ($$$$) resort so I got him one too, also with the bamboo steamer, in "heat" (red - gorgeous). It passed his tests so I thought OK, worth it. Now I see your Aldi comparison. Full Stop. The only way I can justify not seeing a therapist right now, is because I live 3+ hours from the nearest Aldi. (WTF AZ?!!!) And you know it when those $25 pans fly out of the stores, God only knows when the corporate overlords will restock. Great review, loved the commentary. But seriously, the hype over the Always pan is all about the lesson learned in the book, The Emperor's New Clothes.

I believe I might have paid $20, I can't remember exactly. The store was closing, so everything was priced to sell. I bought the set figuring I'd use it temporarily, till I could get around to buying nicer cookware. Nope, I'm still using it, 7 years later, with no desire to replace it!

    You crack me up every time Vivian. I’ve been ill for a few weeks and I haven’t been able to watch you and I’m so glad I caught you on an Aldi‘s comparison of pans because I happen at Christmas time to be there when they were selling a similar casserole set for $29 knock off to the Very Expensive Le Cresuet Casserole & pan sets which sell between $150-$300 or more… like the one you just showed, it came in three or four colors and I was thrilled to death because I was not going to fork out that kind of money for an oval casserole dish cooking pan that I wasn’t going to use all that much. We have become such a “status symbol society “from everything to our clothing and shoes right down to our socks in our purses our make up and now it’s our kitchen ware and everything and I just think stop to madness and share that money with people in need and I don’t care whether you’re helping people or children with medical issues or The homeless or helping build a new home for somebody who needs help I don’t care it just seems to me that we’re so caught up on labels and I thank you Vivian, for doing this comparison because I truly love the Oval cooking knock off I purchased At Aldi’s in December. If you’re only shopping the food isles at Aldi’s, you’re missing out on all the best deals FYI.
    Keep up the great work Vivian and thank you for keeping me laughing. You crack me up and I’m with you if you’re going to charge me so much money you better send me a butler or a chef for more than a day and one meal….(may be a maid, too, to clean up afterwards❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️)
    I GIVE YOU 5 VIVIAN ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

    Any pan that you buy has to be primed with oil before using. Otherwise, you WILL get some sticking. I would say the Aldi pan was a bit cleaner after the eggs. I really need to find an Aldi's.

    • @scapalapipi

    I got there right at store opening and was second in line for the ALDI pan and bought 2 so I could give one to my kid. Likely all would be gone by noon. I used a light coating of coconut oil before frying an egg with my induction hot plate, came out perfect. If one takes good care of the pan the dishwasher ban should be no problem as a quick rinse under water (let pan cool first) and wipe with a towel should suffice. Although properly seasoned cast iron is great on gas or electric it is not so great on induction for some uses as it holds the heat too well and is less responsive to changing the heat setting.

    The Aldi Awesome Pan is amazing.
    At my Aldi, there was a limit of one-per customer per visit, which seems nice and probably the only reason I was able to get one.
    Aldi insider (not me) did tell us that they’re going to have it again around Easter, and hope to have it in two-additional colours.
    The blue is lovely. It may just be my screen, but the colour irl looks more a Tiffany blue than the baby blue it looks here.

    You can get one of those silicone folding/expandable steamer baskets for under $10 on Amazon.
    But honestly other than the cool touch handle this pan seems no different to me than my well seasoned and well loved deep cast iron skillet. I'd rather keep using it. And mine has a cool touch handle in the form of a silicon handle cover I bought years ago (2pk for $7 on Amazon) and bonus my cast iron can go in the oven and do pretty much everything the always pan can do except be induction stove compatible. Which I don't care about because I cook with gas. And my pan was my great grandma's and I can pass it on to the next generation too. As delicate as the always pan is I can't see it lasting 5+ generations. I've seen a pan just like mine on Cabelas for $30.
