Drew Barrymore's $40 Hero Pan looks identical to high-end cookware that's 3x the price

For those who like to cook, all roads lead to one special gadget: the multi-pan, which eliminates the need for several kitchen items, while winning over all who interact with it. Many brands have versions of this pan. You’ve probably heard of the famous Our Place Always Pan or Ninja’s Possible Pan that'll set you back north of $100. For our money, though, there's a more affordable dupe that makes the most sense: the Hero Pan from Beautiful by Drew Barrymore, a cookware line available exclusively at Walmart, and it happens to be on sale right now for just $40 (from $59). At a third of the cost of those other pans, it's a true steal for a four-quart cast-aluminum nonstick do-everything kitchen must-have.

Why is it a good deal? 💰

The Hero Pan is significantly less expensive than other multi-pans, especially at this sale price — only $40. Some multi-pans are in the triple digits. It's high quality at an unbeatable price. Even those who don't cook a lot can appreciate it because it replaces a range of your other pieces (a saucepan, a frying pan, a small Dutch oven and a steamer), freeing up storage space.

Why do I need this? 🤔

The functionality is amazing. The Hero Pan can be used to boil, strain, sauté, simmer, pan fry, sear, braise, steam, stir fry and serve food. It's lightweight, with easy-pour spouts on either side (good for both righties and lefties), and comes with a steamer basket. It’s the perfect tool for one-pan meals. The non-toxic, nonstick interior makes cleanup super easy.

Have we mentioned that it makes a real statement piece in your kitchen, too? The pan — which is currently available in white, black or light blue — is adorned with Drew's signature lid knob with a gold finish. It matches all of the other kitchen items in her collection including the popular air fryer and slow cooker.

What reviewers say 💬

Nearly 500 five-star reviewers Walmart customers are cooking up a storm, thanks to this high-quality, but low-priced beauty.

Pros 👍

"A few of my family members have cookware from a certain 'Place' which I was considering buying for myself before I found this pan. I was tempted by the much lower price point and, I have to say, I am much happier using this! This pan is lighter than the other brand I mentioned but has all the same perks at a third of the price. So worth the value," wrote an impressed shopper.

This happy home chef agreed: "This has been my go-to pan since I purchased it. I find myself using it more than my All-Clad pans. It is literally a Hero Pan! Nonstick — easy clean-up and the perfect size for one-pot meals for my family of four. The color is beautiful and it's super lightweight, which I love."

Another impressed customer added: “I love the crisp white color, the sleekness of the pan and the overall size. It cooks evenly and does not stick. Clean up was a breeze even after a cheesy meal."

Cons 👎

Some noted that the handles can get a bit hot, but nothing that couldn't be fixed with an oven mitt.

"This pan is absolutely beautiful," shared another keen shopper. “It’s very good quality, cooks evenly and is extremely easy to clean. The handles do get hot while cooking so I would recommend using a towel or pot holder when removing it from the stove. This was my first purchase from Drew Barrymore's collection and I’ll definitely be ordering more.”

A final fan said: "I especially love the steam basket and ease of being able to drain excess oil from the pan. The four-quart capacity makes it perfect for stir fry, spaghetti sauce and lots of other one-pot wonders. I will say however that a pot holder is needed when gripping the handle. This is especially true when draining oil or water. Aside from that, I'm very happy with my purchase!"
