My favorite is this pan from Our Place — the most versatile kitchen appliance I own and my most used option. Because it’s my most used pan, I’m consistently washing it, and even after every use, it remains pristine. Its adaptability and ease of use are also why it’s a favorite of NBC Select reporter Zoe Malin. For example, I have the bamboo steamer, which is great for making dumplings.”The Our Place Always Pan 2.0 comes in three sizes — mini, standard and large. My colleagues and I have also used the Our Place Always Pan 2.0 for over a year.

CNN —An Australian teenager has died and another is fighting for her life after drinking suspected tainted alcohol in Laos, as a growing list of countries warned of multiple poisonings linked to a tourist town in the Southeast Asian country. Jones’ death is the latest in a spate of suspected methanol poisonings of foreigners in Vang Vieng, a popular destination for young international backpackers. The British Embassy in Laos said it was providing consular assistance to British nationals “following an incident” in the country. “In November 2024, several foreigners in Vang Vieng have been victims of suspected methanol-adulterated alcohol poisoning,” the Canadian government said.
