Our Place Mini Always Pan (8.5", Ceramic Nonstick, Char)

The Our Place Mini Always Pan is a compact 8.5" ceramic nonstick skillet crafted from recycled aluminum, designed as a space-saving alternative to the brand's flagship 10.5" pan. It features a PFAS-free ceramic coating (ThermaKind), a modular domed lid with steam vents, a beechwood spatula, and is oven-safe to 450°F and induction-compatible. The pan promises 10-in-1 versatility—frying, sautéing, simmering, boiling, braising, roasting, baking, straining, and serving—though its smaller 8.5" size makes it better suited for single servings, sides, eggs, sauces, and compact kitchens (apartments, dorms) rather than family meals. Pros: non-toxic ceramic coating, lightweight, thoughtful modular lid, rapid even heating, oven & induction-safe, beloved by DTC brand followers. Cons: premium price (~$79, frequently discounted from $109 MSRP), ceramic coating durability concerns after 12–18 months of heavy use, hand-wash recommended, not metal-utensil safe, smaller capacity limits everyday cooking for households.
