About Our Place
Our Place is a Los Angeles cookware brand founded in 2019 by Shiza Shahid, built around the Always Pan, a single ceramic-coated pan sold with a lid, steamer basket, and wooden spatula so it can stand in for several pieces. The line has grown to a Perfect Pot, bakeware, and tableware in the same muted colorways.
The brand states its Thermakind ceramic coating is made without PFAS, PTFE, or PFOA and describes it openly as mainly a sand derivative, water, and alcohol, over a body of certified post-consumer recycled aluminum. What it does not publish is independent third-party test results for the coating, and like every ceramic nonstick it wears with use, so treat it as a consumable rather than a lifetime pan.
