Brands are increasingly describing themselves as "carbon neutral". What does it actually mean?

What does it mean to be a “carbon neutral” brand?

There are a number of categories in the world of internet-born, direct-to-consumer brands that have seen an explosion. Cookware is one of them.

What's the difference between all these DTC cookware brands?

The only thing that couldn't be improved is the general look and the packaging/branding. The actual functional portion of the Always Pan is severely lacking. 

Not for a real cook—looks reign supreme and the actual functionality of this product is very clearly secondary.  The non-stick stops working after about 6 months (this is my second pan so there's clearly a pattern here) and it can't go in the oven. Waste of money.

Shows wear too easily and cooking surface was pretty easily scratched.

I am pretty neutral on this pan set. I think it does the job pretty well, and it looks good. At the same time, it got marked up pretty fast on the outside and shows wear on the cooking surface itself, so I don't think it's aged the best in the past year-plus. Overall, I continue to gladly use it, but am not sure I would buy again.

Can't use it in the oven or on high heat or else the non stick coating will wear away. Also the color chips pretty easily so it starts not looking as pretty pretty quickly 

Really beautiful cookware. I got the light blue colorway. The shape does make it versatile piece in your kitchen! I also really love the steamers that you can put on top. My parents love using it to warm up leftovers when they don't want to use the microwave. 

The nonstick material doesn't work well on an electric stovetop, and I find it difficult to only be able to cook on a Medium-Low heat. 

ONLY REVIEWING THE COOKWARE: I think their pans look amazing on a stovetop. That's for sure.  But, as many people share, this tool is really for amateur/infrequent home cooks. As someone who invests in quality cast irons, bakeware and enamel ware, I wasn't blown away by the quality or performance of the Our Place pans. I think they're better for people with smaller kitchens who really only cook every once in a blue moon. I'd happily gift it to friends in that category or college students! The price point makes sense in that realm

Better relative size copy on their site. Good quality overall though. 

I have the pot by Our Place and i read the measurements and everything, but it was still a lot bigger than I expected! Bigger than what I would use everyday / for everything. 

Improve longevity of the non-stick quality

I love the size and depth of this pan. It's great for everyday cooking for 2. However, the non-stick wore off rather quickly. 

The coating is chipping after normal use and hand washing.

I loved this pan truly but I am about a year in and the coating is chipping.

Th Always Pan is a great multi-purpose product, but I don't think it cooks well or lasts. After just a few uses, eggs started sticking to the pan without massive amounts of oil (which I'm pretty sure is the opposite of what they advertise). 

It would be amazing if there was a trade-in program to send back an old pan and get a new one for a discounted cost! 

I've had my Our Place pan for a couple of years now. It's looking pretty rough at this point, but still works great and we use it for so many things. 

Love this pan - price is very high. No sticking. We all fight to use this pan in my house.
