You never want too many cooks in the kitchen, but especially not around already-stressful the holidays. That’s why I like to invest in cookware that does the most. Our Place’s nontoxic pots and pans are the definition of kitchen lifesavers. Their products are made with long-lasting materials that are good for you and the planet. This year, I put their fan-favorite Titanium Always Pan® Pro to the test. After a few uses, it’s now at the top spot of my gifting list. Read on to find out why…
Why I Love the Titanium Always Pan® Pro…
Non-stickiness. When I say this pan makes your food glide, I mean it gliiiiides. This pan is nonstick (and remains nonstick) no matter what temperature you cook at or what you use to clean it. Even after cooking sticky ground beef, the pan looked good as new with just one wipe with my Scrub Daddy sponge.
Materials. Not only does this pan look chic as hell on my stovetop, but its materials make it feel super sturdy. I could easily pick it up and tilt it with one hand. This was a total game-changer since I’m usually doing four different things at the same time when I cook so having another hand free really helped.
Easy cleanup. My absolute favorite part of this pan is that it’s dishwasher-safe. While testing it, I’ve run it in the wash a few times and it still looks brand-new. No scratches, no bumps, and the cooking surface stayed nice and smooth.
Other Our Place Essentials I Love…
An adult version of an Easy-Bake Oven…
It’s like everyone’s favorite holiday toy from the '90s, only better. This Wonder Oven can bake, air-fry, reheat, toast, roast, and broil, all without taking up too much counter space. That being said, it’s also super spacious on the inside. One of my coworkers loved it so much, she used it to fully replace her toaster and claims it’s her favorite way to reheat leftover french fries (important). ($175)
An 8-in-1 family-sized cooking pot…
This oven-safe pot can do, well, all of the things. It’s oven-safe up to 450 degrees, and can go from boiling, baking, frying, or braising, straight to the table for serving. It also comes with a dome-shaped lid that’s designed to trap and release steam as needed. Plus, the built-in strainer eliminates the need for an additional strainer so you can keep your kitchen clutter-free. ($110)
A nonstick sheet pan that doubles as a griddle…
Meet the ultimate breakfast partner. This stovetop griddle covers two burners for maximum real estate, but it will also fit in almost any standard-size oven. You can use it to bake, roast, and more. I’m also giving it extra points for its ergonomic side handles that are easy to grip no matter how thick your oven mitts are. ($100)
