Our Place Always Pan

🌿 CLEAN & SAFE

Multi-use everyday pan (sauté, steam, fry, braise)

Materials

  • Aluminum body
  • Sol-gel ceramic non-stick coating

Common claims

  • Non-toxic ceramic
  • PTFE and PFAS-free
  • Replaces 8 cookware pieces

Concerns / watch-outs

  • Like all ceramic-coated pans, durability depends on care — avoid metal utensils and dishwasher
  • Aluminum base means hand-washing is recommended for coating longevity

Notes

A popular, genuinely PFAS-free option. Rated Better rather than Best because of the aluminum base and ceramic coating lifespan. Good bridge choice away from PTFE.

Cleaner alternatives

Induction-Compatible Cast Iron Pan

🌿 CLEAN & SAFE

Induction stovetop cooking with cast iron performance

Materials

  • Seasoned cast iron

Common claims

  • Works on all cooktops
  • Induction ready
  • Pre-seasoned

Concerns / watch-outs

  • Flat bottom required for proper induction contact — check for warping
  • Heavier than most pans

Notes

Standard cast iron works on induction cooktops as long as the base is flat. Pre-seasoned options reduce break-in time.
