Our Place Titanium Always Pan Pro – No-Coating

This 2.8 Qt sauce pan is really made amazingly well. It has a real heft to it, from the solid handle down to the thick pan walls. We’ve always had fairly expensive pots and pans, as this is an area you don’t want to skimp on. Well-made pots and pans are actually cheaper in the end as they last forever (they don’t actually wear out or warp, you just get tired of them!). This sauce pan will look great in any kitchen, and it performs extremely well to boot.

For usage, we applied a thin layer of oil as instructed and used it otherwise as we would any other pan. It worked great and performed just like a non-stick pan, with fried eggs coming right out without any additional effort required beyond tilting the pan. I like the design touches, such as the steam release port at the handle, so your pot lid doesn’t rattle as steam escapes. It also just looks amazing, with a bright stainless finish and titanium interior with the hexagonal pattern. This pan would make for a great gift for the discerning cooks in your life, and I know we will be enjoying this amazingly well-made pan for decades to come.

Definitely has the feel and look of quality. The bottom is extra heavy, so retains and distributes the heat as well or better than my cast iron. Really great for scrambled eggs, pancakes, or for grilling veggies, etc. And equally as good for non stick as any of the ‘coated’ cookware, but without PFAS. Cleans in a breeze. I cook on gas, but it is rated for electric and induction as well. I’m tempted to order a second one!

Okay, so the price on this pan is kinda eye-wateringly high for a frying/saute pan, although not unusually high in comparison to the most premium brands for pots and pans — I’ve had pans of this general shape and size that cost anywhere from $20-$300, so the big questions are always how well it works and how long it lasts. e.g., A cheap pan that has to be thrown out in 6 months because the metal warped or the non-stick coating or ceramics chipped off — well, that’s not so cheap after all, if you’re rebuying that pan frequently for the rest of your life, or accidentally eating non-stick coating chips. While an expensive pan that will last your entire lifetime and can be handed down to your kids is, if you think about it, actually ver cost effective, if you divide the cost of the pan over multiple years…. But sometimes those expensive pans don’t actually last that long, or simple don’t work as well as you’d hoped. It can be a gamble! But I’m happy to say in my initial tests with this “Our Place titanium always pan,” we’re dealing with a true all-star. First, even the packaging offers a premium experience (this is a very giftable item), and once you’ve unpacked it, you know you’re looking at something expensive — it looks and feels like a luxury race-car of pans, strong, nicely weighted, smooth curves. And it cooks great! It worked perfectly on my induction stove-top, and the non-stick aspect worked amazingly well with a bit of cooking oil (especially since it’s using a fancy micro-texture in the metal trick to create the nonstick effect, instead of using chemical or ceramic coating — it’s maybe not as buttery-smooth non-stick as some of those other pans, but it works better than most other nonstick pans I’ve tried that have tried to do without the delicate layers of materials that always eventually wear off)…. So, anyway, this is a terrific pan right out of the gate — but the remaining question will be how long it lasts. As long as the non-stick texture on the metal doesn’t wear down over time, it feels like this is a pan that should be good for decades, if not more. But we’ll have to weight and see!
