  • Elegant, modern aesthetic cookware
  • Thoughtful, integrated design features
  • Easy, low-effort cleaning
  • Versatile, multiuse functionality
  • Inconsistent nonstick coating longevity
  • Stain-prone, chip-prone exterior
  • Uncomfortably hot, bulky handles
  • Poor high-heat searing performance

Our Place earns polarized reviews: the Always Pan and Perfect Pot look stunning, clean easily, and the integrated spatula rest, steamer baskets, and thoughtful lid-strainer design impress, but durability falters—nonstick coatings often degrade within months, exteriors stain and chip, handles run hot, and high heat ruins performance. Reviews affirm the brand can work well with careful, low-to-medium heat use and gentle cleaning, yet many cooks report uneven longevity and prefer stainless or cast iron for lasting sear and reliability.

  • I love the size and shape of the standard Our Place pan, but unfortunately it did not remain nonstick :( however, I used it almost everyday for 1.5 years before it began losing its nonstick capabilities. I still continue to use the pan, but be aware the nonstick will not last!

  • I have had this pan for over 2 years and it is exactly what it claims to be. Whenever I don't know what pan to use, I know this pan is a safe bet. After having this pan for 2 years, it has aged so gracefully with barely any noticeable aging. The pan is super easy to wash and I use it almost any time I am in the kitchen.

  • My always pan almost immediately and permanently stained at the bottom. While the non stick is nice for some things, I don’t like using it when I want a bit of char to my meats. It doesn’t give that effect at all. That said, not as versatile as I’d like.

  • Loses its nonstick capabilities within the first few months - we followed all care instructions

  • I absolutely loved this pan when I purchased it. For someone who doesn't enjoy working in the kitchen, the Always Pan made my cooking moments easier, more aesthetically-pleasing, and faster (due to the ease of clean-up). When my mother-in-law—who loves cooking—tried out my pan, she couldn't stop raving about it. I purchased one for her as a gift soon after. Initially, I liked the included spatula, but it didn't last long. Three years into using the pan, the exterior bottom is covered almost entirely in black. It doesn't show while in use and doesn't bother me, but it's worth noting.

  • I loved the concept of an all-in-one pan and the cute design. The non-stick coating quickly went away after a couple uses, which made me concerned that I was ingesting toxic plastic fumes/residue. It also was a bit heavy to hold with one hand, as the second smaller handle would get hot from the stove, when I needed to pour the contents from it.

  • It's an okay pan. My girlfriend and I used it quite a bit when we first moved in together as we wanted something that was versatile to save a bit of money and space. I feel like the pan wasn't as versatile as advertised - it didn't get as hot as I would have liked for some meals. The handle part where you can put the spatula is really convenient though.

  • After using their products (not all) for over the last 3 years..I’d say the Perfect Pot is their best product offering but only if you use it on an induction plate, not open fire. I was one of those people that got lured in by their Always Pan ads on IG in 2020. I bought the first version, which had a ceramic bottom. While it was super cute and had fun colorway options, the quality was compromised pretty early on — esp using it on an open fire. Their customer service was super helpful when I sent in a complaint and were very kind and sent me a replacement, which had the new induction plate on the base. This one did perform better and held up longer. I do like all the accessories too and think it was thoughtfully designed. It did become difficult to keep it nonstick though. I did end up buying their Perfect Pot in charcoal and only use it on induction plate. It’s really beautiful and great construction. I love the trivet and lid with a strainer built in. I use it primarily for pasta dishes and soup. I haven’t yet used it in the oven or for dishes that don’t involve primarily liquid. I think I’ll only use it on the induction plate and make sure to always clean the bottom plate in between uses. I’ve used it for a year now and it still looks brand new and I love it. I’m curious about their new air fryer and think they look so cute. They seem to be pretty small inside though, only fitting 1-2 servings of food. I would be more interested if it was a bit bigger and it could cook up to 4-5 servings.

  • I love their dishware. Everything looks as great in person as it did online. They have a great weight and quality to them. And for someone as clumsy as me they have stood up to dishwashing and clanking around. To be fair, I have not dropped anything on the floor yet!

  • I enjoy using my Always Pan. You do have to be careful about the heat level and the cooking utensils you use with it. However if you follow the instructions they give you and know what to expect it's nice to use!

  • Best post and Pans! I replaced most of my cooking implements with Our Place. I have the Always Pan in standard and mini, as well as the Always Pot in standard and mini, plus the cast iron Pan! I cook regularly and these are fantastic for my morning eggs or my caramelized onion tarts. Also, they look great just sitting on my stove since my kitchen is small and I don't want to have to dig down in my back cabinets for them every time.

  • We have the everything pan. It is beautiful and works and one pan that is big enough for most things.

  • This is the best pan! Most used kitchen product in our home. It is pretty enough to stay out on our stove top when we are constantly cooking in our home. Super easy to clean! So many cool features to it! Asking for the Always Pot for Christmas because I heard it is just as good as the pan!

  • I really wanted to like the pan, and did for the first few weeks but after some cooking the pan would never clean to original state. Especially sauces would stain the sides, and the nonstick wore away even with only hand washing.

  • I own two cookware items from Our Place. I love the no-stick pans and built in spoon-rest designs. Plus, the cookware is super aesthetic and I keep it on my stove at all times. There are two downsides to the cookware that I don't love. For starters, you have to be extremely careful with the tool that you use to clean the pot so that the non-stick doesn't come off. The second, the bottom of my pan has stained through its use. Not a big deal, but just detracts from the look of it.

  • Our place, not going to lie! I love everything about it. It's aesthetically pleasing when I cook. It also holds my favorite color, jade. The reason why I gave it four stars instead of five is because the non stick part (which is mainly the reason of buying it) is a hit or miss. It's definitely easy to clean, but it doesn't give 100 percent non stick.

  • Rubbish! I got one of these pans because I loved the appearance and colours. The pan did look really cool and modern so I was disappointed it was such a terrible pan to cook with. The non-stick coating was damaged after only a couple of uses. Everything we cooked stuck and eventually we had to throw the pan away because it just did not work. The handle gets extremely hot!!

  • My favorite cooking pan. This is now a must in my kitchen. I was hesitant to buy one because of the price but it was so worth it. It so easy to clean, so versatile. I cannot wait to buy more from our place.

  • Use my Always Pan for everything - even boiling pasta. It's versatile and perfect for small kitchens without room for many pots and pans

  • Our Place Cooking Pans have truly transformed my culinary experience. These pans are a must-have in any kitchen, offering a perfect blend of functionality, aesthetics, and convenience. One of the standout features of the Our Place Cooking Pans is their versatility. Designed to replace multiple traditional cookware pieces, these pans can sauté, fry, braise, bake, and more. This means less clutter in the kitchen and more space for creativity in your cooking endeavors. The non-stick surface of the pans is exceptional. Whether I'm searing meats, flipping pancakes, or tossing vegetables, the food effortlessly glides on the surface without sticking. Cleaning up afterward is a breeze, as even stubborn residue comes off with ease. The thoughtful design extends beyond functionality. The beautiful colors and modern aesthetics of the Our Place Cooking Pans make them a stylish addition to any kitchen. They are perfect for serving dishes straight from the stovetop or oven to the table, eliminating the need for extra servingware. Furthermore, the pans are thoughtfully crafted with high-quality materials, ensuring durability and long-lasting performance. I appreciate the attention to detail and the commitment to producing environmentally friendly products. Another fantastic feature is the removable wooden handle, which makes these pans oven-safe and allows for easy storage. It's a convenient addition, especially when moving the pans from stovetop to oven or when saving space in the kitchen cabinet. Not only do the Our Place Cooking Pans excel in functionality, but the brand itself also values inclusivity and community. Their commitment to social causes and partnerships with local artisans add a layer of purpose to your purchase, making it even more satisfying.
