New year, new you - and more intentional time spent in the kitchen. Whether you’re focusing on meal prep for your gym gains, or just improving your cooking skills, you need high-quality kitchenware that supports you along the way. Ingredients are one thing, but when it comes to cookware, you can’t really hold back on quality. Which is why our team has been obsessing over Our Place, a brand that’s anything but your typical cookware company.
At Our Place, the kitchen isn’t seen as just a place where food is made - it’s where culture lives, breathes, and gets passed on. And while the brand creates tools for the kitchen, it isn't just a kitchenware brand. Everything they do is rooted in bringing people together - carving out a warmer, more intentional space that celebrates gathering, heritage and the quiet rituals of everyday cooking. Simply put, Our Place considers a home-cooked meal as the most authentic way to bring people together. And what better way to do so than by using sustainable, non-toxic kitchenware?
On top of their focus on bringing people together, Our Place emphasizes the use of thoughtful, responsible materials. Their cookware is manufactured with 100% post-consumer recycled aluminum, while their glasses are made from recycled glass and natural sand. A safe, more joyful kitchen means to choose non-toxic cookware, which is why Our Place pans are designed without PFAS, lead, cadmium, and other harmful chemicals. And unlike traditional nonstick coating, their Thermakind® ceramic nonstick coating is made without plastic-based materials, ensuring it doesn’t release microplastics, even with everyday cooking. The brand takes it commitment to sustainability even further by ensuring their packaging is free of traditional plastics and fully recyclable and biodegradable.
With sustainability and community at the heart of their design, we couldn’t be more excited to introduce Our Place cookware into our own kitchens - and put them to the test.
If there's one pot worth clearing space for, it's the Perfect Pot. Embodying Our Place's commitment to sustainability, it's designed to replace nearly every pot in your cabinet. It handles everything in the kitchen from boiling and braising to baking and serving. Oven-safe up to 450°F and built for seamless stovetop-to-oven cooking, the Perfect Pot is finished with a ceramic nonstick coating made without PFAS, lead, or cadmium. And if you thought the Perfect Pot couldn't get more perfect, it's also generously sized for all kinds of recipes - whether you're roasting a whole chicken, making extra soup for the colder months - you have plenty of room.
“The 'Perfect Pot' is not only beautiful but so useful for a large family. I live in a full house & one-pot-meals are ideal here. Also, the stovetop to oven-option? Iconic. I’ve made Mac N Cheese in this pot, from stove to oven, and it turned out perfect. I can do everything in there, start to finish! I try to live a pretty non-toxic life in all aspects so their cookware fits very well.”

No wonder you'll be obsessed with this. The Wonder Oven Pro is part air fryer, part toaster oven, and packs eight functions into one. Whether you're air frying, baking, roasting, toasting, broiling, dehydrating, proofing, or reheating - you are all set in the kitchen with this multi-use oven. What sets it apart is the thoughtful, non-toxic design: every food-contact surface is made without PFAS or other forever chemicals, relying instead on safe materials like steel and ceramic nonstick - so you can cook with confidence. With digital controls, and cooking speeds up to 40% faster than a traditional oven, it’s made to support real kitchens and real routines.
“This is ideal for small spaces and if you’re cooking for one (or two). Adding the water keeps food moist without overdrying and the color is also super cute. Best investment.”

Always without the forever chemicals. A cult favorite for a reason - designed to replace multiple cookware staples, the Always Pan 2.0 blends form and function. With ten functions in one beautifully sleek and minimalistic design, it braises, sears, steams, sautés, bakes, and more. Made from 100% post-consumer recycled aluminum and finished with Thermakind® ceramic nonstick coating (made without PFAS, PFOA, lead, or microplastics), it’s lightweight, ultra-conductive, and thoughtfully equipped with a steamer basket and nesting beechwood spatula.
