Students rejoice: Our Place has found a way to use the Always Pan without a cooktop. The Perfect Power Pot is just as charming as the rest of Our Place's iconic cookware, but it plugs in at the handle, allowing you to cook just about anywhere.
Our Place is known for its multifunctional cookware, and with its Always Pan and Wonder Oven all the rage on social media, it's likely the Perfect Power Pot will follow suit. Like the best Instant Pots, this countertop appliance eliminates the need for a cooktop, making it ideal for college dorms, small kitchens, and camping trips. It's much smaller than your average multicooker, though, with a 1.7-quart capacity that's perfect for individually portioned meals.
We haven't tested the Perfect Power Pot ourselves yet, but with the ability to sauté, boil, fry, sear, and steam all in one appliance, we think it might be the perfect new gadget to take to college or make the most of your space in a small apartment. We're also pretty impressed with its price. The Perfect Power Pot costs $125, making it cheaper than the Always Pan.
What to expect
The Perfect Power Pot offers many cooking features in one compact pot and is the ideal solution for small spaces or for students looking for a simple yet healthy way to cook while away from home.
With the Perfect Power Pot, one thing is for sure: cooking will never be boring. Sauté, steam, sear, fry and boil and enjoy a variety of dishes using a pot that offers five cooking parts in one.
This compact electric pot has two cooking temperatures to choose from, so it's not the most versatile, low at 160°C and high at 180°C, and it claims to preheat faster than your average hob. It's very easy to use, especially for beginner chefs starting out on their culinary journey.
It's available in two of the brand's most popular colors: Char, a dark gray, or Spice, a soft terracotta, to coordinate with other Our Place appliances, so if you're a fan of the brand, chances are your kitchenware will match.
What's included

It features a 1.7-litre capacity pot base, deep enough for boiling or sautéing. Although it's a compact appliance, it's generous enough to cook two cups of dry rice.
The custom-made stackable steamer sits on top to form a double tier, with a vented glass lid that retains steam when needed. Ditch the instant noodles and enjoy freshly boiled noodles with steamed vegetables and dumplings, all cooked in one pot, saving you valuable time and space. Plus, it doubles as a strainer, so you can drain your noodles or rice once cooked without the need for another kitchen gadget.
The stackable steamer is also designed with five dedicated slots to hold eggs in place while cooking, providing even cooking without eggs rolling around.
The pot also comes with a handy beechwood spatula that can be attached to the handle when not in use, reducing the mess created around the pot. It can also help with turning and moving food around the pot when cooking.
