About Our Place
Our Place is a cookware and kitchen brand co-founded by Shiza Shahid, who frames it around an immigrant story of finding belonging in America through cooking and sharing food. It makes the Always Pan, Perfect Pot, Wonder Oven, and other cookware, bakeware, and dinnerware.
The stated mission is to build a bigger table with room for everyone, and the brand says it works with women-owned manufacturing collectives. Its non-toxic, PFAS-free ceramic nonstick is a safety claim rather than a certified third-party standard, and it holds no independent eco or B Corp certification; pricing is mid to premium.
