Product Review | Our Place "Always Pan"
Grilled cheese: acquired! And I have my “Always Pan” from Our Place to thank for the perfect, crispy sandwich.
Our Place is a fantastic company founded by women and people of color which makes cookware and home good products with a mission and a purpose.
“As a mission-driven business we try and make impactful decisions in all that we do. Many of these are things people will never really hear about. Like how most of our products are sourced from a woman-owned factory partner, or how our packaging is 100% free of plastics and is fully recyclable and biodegradable, or how we recently switched warehouses to work with an incredible value-aligned warehouse that is a b-corp doing exceptional environmental and social justice work in the world. But these are the decisions that matter.
And for us, impact isn’t one thing, it’s everything…
We donate organizations creating systems based change within communities. During the Covid-19 epidemic we donated over 200,000 meals to help fight hunger. We have also donated to the Equal Justice Initiative’s critical work for racial justice. For our Nochebuena collection, we donated to support IMMDEF’s vital work to provide legal representation to help keep families together.”
Not only is Our Place a thoughtful and impactful company, but their designs are second to none.
Even my husband Shiva (who has a background in Mechanical Engineering) was appreciative of the ergonomic Always Pan, and the simple but useful tweaks (like the little spatula that actually fits onto the pan’s handle, ensuring that it won’t fall into the pan if you need to prop it up for a second, or the incorporated fry basket) that make it a star.
The Always Pan is an 8-in-1 gem with a durable, non-stick coating that is easy to clean and free of Teflon, PFOA, and PTFE’s. It also comes in a variety of beautiful shades (I requested "lavender" and it's such a pretty color.)
It only took 15 minutes to properly cook my grilled cheese, and the fitted lid helped in making sure the butter melted properly into the bread so that it could be turned with ease.
Currently Our Place is running a Black Friday/Cyber Monday sale through 11/30. You’ll be able to buy the Always Pan for $95 (a $50 savings or ~35% savings) with promo code SUPERSALE.
