Our Place Review: The Pan That Replaced Eight — Now With a Titanium Upgrade That Fixes Its Biggest Flaw

Shiza Shahid, co-founder of the Malala Fund, and Amir Tehrani founded Our Place in Los Angeles in 2019. The idea was cookware that celebrates home cooking and cultural traditions. Its Always Pan became one of the most viral kitchen products of the decade, promising to replace a frying pan, sauté pan, saucepan, steamer, skillet, saucier, spatula and spoon rest in one beautiful, colour-rich design. It’s backed by investors and celebrities including Gwyneth Paltrow and Ayesha Curry. The brand now sells the ceramic Always Pan 2.0, a coating-free Titanium Pro line, cast iron, bakeware and appliances like the Wonder Oven. UK sales nearly doubled in 2025, and the Wonder Oven Pro launched in October 2026.

The honest caveat: the ceramic nonstick wears out for some users within months, which is the most common complaint. The warranty excludes scratches, discolouration and overheating damage. In fairness, Our Place extended the ceramic warranty from 1 to 3 years in May 2025, and the Titanium Pro line has no coating at all and a lifetime warranty. Also, several lookalike .it.com sites (ourplace.it.com, ourplacecookware.it.com and others) copy Our Place pages. Only buy from fromourplace.com, its official .ca and .co.uk sites, or major retailers.

WHAT WORKS

• True multi-tasker. One pan sears, sautés, steams, boils, fries and serves, which is ideal for small kitchens.
• Stunning design. Signature colours like Sage, Spice and Blue Salt look beautiful left on the stove.
• Non-toxic materials. PFAS-free ceramic, or coating-free titanium on the Pro line.
• Thoughtful accessories. The nesting beechwood spatula, steamer basket and steam-release lid come included.
• 100-day trial. Free returns let you cook with it for months before deciding.

WHAT TO KNOW

• Ceramic coating lifespan. Nonstick performance on ceramic can fade within a year with heavy use.
• Warranty exclusions. Scratches, discolouration and overheating damage aren’t covered.
• Premium pricing. About $135 for a single pan is high compared with standard nonstick.
• Heat sensitivity. Ceramic performs best on low to medium heat, and high heat shortens its life.

Overall, the design and versatility are excellent. Choose titanium if you want it to last.

Best Overall Pick: Titanium Always Pan Pro 10.5” (~$179)

This is the version that solves the Always Pan’s biggest weakness. It’s built from 3mm tri-ply construction (stainless steel exterior, aluminium core and titanium cooking surface) and uses Our Place’s coating-free “NoCo” nonstick, so there’s no ceramic layer to wear away. It’s metal-utensil safe, oven-safe to 1000°F (750°F for the gold finish), works on all cooktops including induction, and comes with a lifetime warranty. For long-term value, this is the Always Pan to buy.

Best Value: Ceramic Nonstick Always Pan 2.0, 10.5” (~$135)

The viral original, improved. It has a cast aluminium body for fast, even heating, a stainless steel induction-compatible base, and Our Place’s PFAS-free Thermakind ceramic nonstick coating. It’s oven-safe to 450°F and comes with a steam-release lid, a nesting beechwood spatula and a steamer basket that doubles as a colander. It handles eggs, stir-fries, pasta and steamed dumplings. A 12.5” family size is available for about $159.

Premium / Upgrade Pick: Titanium Pro Cookware Set 2.0 (~$499.95)

A complete coating-free kitchen: the Always Pan Pro 10.5” and 8.5”, plus the Perfect Pot Pro in 3-quart and 7-quart sizes with lids, saving about $198 compared with buying separately. It all carries a lifetime warranty, making it a strong one-time investment for serious home cooks.

Also Worth Buying: Ceramic Nonstick Perfect Pot 6.5qt (~$149)

A versatile pot for soups, stews, pasta, braising and baking bread. It’s oven-safe, includes a roasting rack and a steam-release lid, and has a nonstick interior for easy cleanup.

Kitchen Upgrade: Wonder Oven (~$185)

A compact 6-in-1 countertop oven that air-fries, bakes, roasts, toasts, reheats and steam-cooks, styled to match the cookware. The newer Wonder Oven Pro (~$325) offers 30 litres of capacity and more cooking modes for larger families.

Approach With Caution: Large Ceramic Bundles (e.g., Cookware + Bakeware Set, ~$499.95)

The value looks great, but every ceramic piece shares the same coating-lifespan limitation. At this budget, the Titanium Pro set gives better long-term value.

The pattern: Most owners love the design, versatility and easy cleanup, which is reflected in the 4.3–4.7 ratings. Negative reviews focus on the ceramic nonstick wearing out over time.
