The latest launch from Lakeland, The Only Pan, has solved the problem of overcrowded kitchen cupboards and endless washing up for many shoppers. Described by the brand as a ‘multi-functional marvel designed to handle virtually every cooking task’, The Only Pan has already received high praise from customers.
Lakeland’s most versatile product to date, The Only Pan, is hailed as the retailer’s ‘fastest selling new product of the last six months’. Its space-saving design boasts a 3.1L capacity and the ability to cook food in eight different ways, all in one vessel.
Not only is it functional, but it also has a modern and sleek aesthetic. Some customers find it so ‘beautiful’ that they leave it on the stove as a decorative piece when not in use.
Whether steaming dumplings, simmering soups, pan-frying meat, sautéing vegetables, or boiling and straining pasta, The Only Pan eliminates the need for multiple pots and pans. It comes with a lid to lock in moisture for juicy dishes, a stainless steel steamer basket, and a silicone turner to protect the pan’s surface, which can be conveniently placed on the lid’s built-in spoon rest.
Crafted from lightweight and robust cast aluminium, this pan promises to be a breeze to transport to the sink or dinner table. Its non-stick PFAS-free surface means cooking requires minimal oil, paving the way for healthier meals and an easier clean-up, reports Wales Online.
With a price tag of £59.99, Lakeland’s offering comes with a 10-year guarantee, sweetening the deal on what many consider a ‘great price’. In comparison, the Our Place Always Pan has become a favourite, repeatedly selling out since its 2021 debut. At £125, this versatile 10-in-1 pan is available in five chic hues and boasts over 23,000 five-star accolades.
This 2.46-litre kitchen marvel includes a lid, a beechwood spatula that fits neatly inside, a steamer basket, and a colander, with additional accessories like an egg poacher also available for the Always Pan. Lakeland’s The Only Pan offers a choice of three stylish colours: sage green, slate grey, and pale grey.
Ninja throws its hat into the ring with the Ninja Foodi 9-in-1 PossiblePan, currently discounted to £99.99 from its original £129.99. This capacious 3.8-litre pan features a glass lid, perfect for monitoring your culinary creations without losing heat.
When it comes to value for money, Lakeland’s The Only Pan is winning over consumers, with one satisfied customer sharing: “The Only Pan is my new favourite go-to pan that I can rely on to cook everything in my busy kitchen, and it’s great value for money compared to other brands.”
Lakeland’s The Only Pan could do with a few more bells and whistles. Currently, the versatile kitchen pan boasts eight different uses, lagging behind competitors offering a broader range of functions, and it’s also limited in colour choices.
Yet, customers are still wowed by its aesthetic appeal on their countertops. A delighted five-star reviewer shared: “I’ve been looking for a beautiful pan that can sit on top of my hob, as well as cook most dishes from scratch with just one pan. The 10-year guarantee for the price makes this a no-brainer.”
Another user praised its practicality, and said: “I love this pan! I’ve tried six of the eight ways it says you can cook, and so far, so good! Also, the 10-year guarantee makes me very confident this is going to last a long time. I’m very impressed.”
Meanwhile, another chimed in: “This is the perfect all-rounder pan. Great price for the level of quality.”
