Aldi’s sell-out pan that’s £85 cheaper than Our Place’s Always Pan hitting stores in days – and there’s Le Creuset dupes
OUR Place’s Always Pan 2.0 is the hit kitchenware appliance everyone has been raving about for the last year.
The £105 pan does the job of 10 products in one appliance – and apparently, so does Aldi’s £19.99 dupe of it.
Both the designer and budget version of the pans have sold out multiple times, with Aldi’s being swept off shelves in a matter of days last November.
But now, the Always Pan 2.0 dupe is returning to the German retailer’s middle aisle for a limited time only.
Supermarket bosses have brought it back as a Specialbuy again – meaning once it’s gone, it’s gone.
The Crofton Every Ways Pan comes in three colours (a few less than Our Place offers) of dusty pink, blue or black.
You can expect to see the £19.99 copycat in your local middle aisle from Thursday, July 25.
“With this Crofton Every Ways Pan you can saute, sear, strain, fry, braise and boil,” Aldi bosses said.
“You really can cook with this every different way!
“It’s non-stick and dishwasher safe so enjoy mealtimes hassle free, knowing the clean up is simple.
“With a lid, steamer and sieve attachment included, this is the versatile must have for every budding chef.”
The multi-function pan can replace multiple pieces of traditional cookware.
Budding chefs will be pleased to know that it is perfect for frying, sauteing, as well as coming equipped with a kit that allows for boiling and steaming.
It’s also slightly bigger than the Our Place Always Pan 2.0, but only by a couple of centimetres.
Aldi launched the dupe in November last year but it sold out within a matter of days – so you’ll probably need to be even quicker this time round.
What’s more, the sleek pan isn’t the only homeware dupe Aldi is dropping in its middle aisle this week.
Why do Aldi and Lidl have such fast checkouts
IF you’ve ever shopped in Aldi or Lidl then you’ll probably have experienced its ultra-fast checkout staff.
Aldi’s speedy reputation is no mistake, in fact, the supermarket claims that its tills are 40 per cent quicker than rivals.
It’s all part of Aldi’s plan to be as efficient as possible – and this, the budget shop claims, helps keep costs low for shoppers.
Efficient barcodes on packaging means staff are able to scan items as quickly as possible, with the majority of products having multiple barcodes to speed up the process.
It also uses “shelf-ready” packaging which keeps costs low when it comes to replenishing stock.
There’s also the all new Crofton 2 Pack Pasta Bowls in navy, green and white.
These are reminiscent of the £17 Le Creuset Stoneware Dinnerware Pasta Bowl.
But at £2.50 per bowl at the budget supermarket, you’ll save yourself £14.50 by getting your dupe on.
“Serve up your pasta dish in style with these Crofton Pasta Bowls 2 Pack,” Aldi bosses said.
“Available in blue, white or green, there is something to suit everyone.
“A beautiful dish that’s sure to impress any dinner guest before they tuck in.
“Being dishwasher safe means the aftermath of mealtimes will be hassle free.”
