Our Place Review: Gorgeous, Non-Toxic Cookware That Works Best If You Treat the Coating Gently
Our Place's Always Pan 2.0 and Perfect Pot are beautiful, versatile and PFAS-free. But ceramic nonstick wears over time, and several appliances in the range get poor reviews, so buy the cookware and skip the gadgets.

01 Why We Reviewed Our Place
Our Place launched in 2019 with one idea: a single, beautiful pan that could replace eight pieces of cookware. The Always Pan does that. It sautés, steams, fries, braises and serves, and comes with a nesting steamer basket, a spatula that rests on the handle, and colours meant to stay out on the stovetop. The Always Pan 2.0 added oven safety up to 450°F and a ceramic nonstick coating Our Place says lasts up to 50% longer, all made without PTFE, PFOA or other PFAS. The newer Titanium Always Pan Pro ($199) uses a coating-free "NoCo" titanium surface that's metal-utensil, dishwasher and oven safe up to 1000°F.
The honest caveat is durability. Our Place has a 4.4 / 5 Trustpilot score across 5,000+ reviews, but 12% are one-star, and they repeat the same issues: ceramic coatings that start sticking within months or a couple of years, handles that trap water, and peeling paint. Independent roundups also flag the Wonder Oven, Dream Cooker, blender, juicer and shears as products to avoid. The core pans are the brand's strongest products.

−01
❌ Ceramic nonstick wears. "Food started sticking after less than a couple of years" is a common complaint, as it is with most ceramic cookware.
-
−02
❌ Titanium Pro isn't fully nonstick. Testers found delicate dishes like cheesy frittatas stuck, and residue needed scrubbing.
-
−03
❌ Finish issues. Some buyers report water collecting in handles and paint peeling.
-
−04
❌ Weak appliances. Roundups of customer reviews flag the Wonder Oven, Dream Cooker, blender, juicer and shears for quality problems.

04 Best Our Place Products Worth Considering
Based on independent testing and patterns in customer reviews, here's where to spend.
Our Place
Always Pan 2.0 — ~$135
The pan that built the brand, now oven safe to 450°F with a longer-lasting ceramic coating. Use medium heat, silicone or wooden tools and hand washing, and it will stay slick much longer. It's ideal for eggs, stir-fries, one-pan dinners and steaming veg.
Perfect Pot
Best Companion Piece
A versatile pot for soups, pasta, braises and baking bread, with reliable ceramic nonstick. Pair it with the Always Pan and you cover most weeknight cooking.
Our Place
Titanium Always Pan Pro
It has no coating, so it's metal-utensil, dishwasher and oven safe up to 1000°F. It's excellent for searing, frying and pancakes. It's not ideal for delicate, cheesy dishes and can need scrubbing, so treat it as a durable workhorse, not a replacement for nonstick.
Our Place
Small Appliances (Wonder Oven, Dream Cooker, Blender)
Customer reviews report faulty timers, chipped paint, burnt-plastic smells and weak performance. Stick with Our Place's cookware and buy appliances from specialist brands.
05 What Buyers Are Actually Saying
A buyer on everyday cooking:
The items look amazing, heat up quickly and evenly, and make everyday cooking a true pleasure.
Another on value:
Love this cookware! Our Place sells amazing cooking equipment at a great price!
On the concerns side, a buyer on coating wear:
Food started sticking after less than a couple of years of use.
And one on finish quality:
They look gorgeous but the handles fill with water… the paint is peeling back on handles.
The pattern: people love the design and early performance, and most complaints are about ceramic coatings wearing and finish durability over time.

You want a nonstick pan that survives metal tools and the dishwasher for a decade, or you're shopping for small appliances.
