In-Depth Review
The Ultimate Multitasker
The Always Pan 2.0 is designed to replace ten traditional pieces of cookware: a fry pan, sauté pan, steamer, skillet, saucier, saucepan, nonstick pan, spatula, and spoon rest. By consolidating these tools, Our Place encourages a minimalist kitchen approach, reducing the consumption of unnecessary household goods.
Advanced Non-Toxic Coating
The Always Pan 2.0 features Thermolon™ Gen6 ceramic nonstick coating. This is a high-performance coating made without PFAS, PFOA, lead, or cadmium, ensuring that no toxic fumes are released even if the pan is accidentally overheated.
Constructed from sturdy aluminum, the pan ensures even heat distribution and quick response to temperature changes. The 2.0 version is specially engineered to be oven-safe up to 450°F, increasing its versatility from stovetop searing to oven roasting. The brand, co-founded by Shiza Shahid, focuses on 'the power of home cooking to bring people together,' and this ethos is reflected in the product's thoughtful design elements, such as dual pour spouts and a modular steam basket.
Ethical Manufacturing and Impact
Our Place is a certified B Corp that prioritizes working with factories that provide fair wages and safe working conditions. They conduct regular third-party audits to ensure compliance with ethical labor standards. Furthermore, the aluminum body of the pan is made from 100% post-consumer recycled aluminum, significantly reducing the carbon footprint associated with mining raw ore.
