Where these two actually differ

  • We flag Microplastic generation and Bacterial colonization on the Our Place and not on the T-fal.
  • We flag PTFE thermal degradation and fume release, Coating degradation and microplastic/flake ingestion, Aluminum leaching from base metal and Coating adhesion and separation over time on the T-fal and not on the Our Place.
  • The Our Place is Silicone utensils, no coating where the T-fal is PTFE non-stick coating, as disclosed by T-fal for this range, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
  • The gap is 85 points, wide enough that this is not a close call, and the Our Place is the one to buy.
  • We are less certain about the T-fal grade, at 35% confidence against 85%, because it discloses less.

Both products run through the same public rubric: materials, coatings, brand disclosure, lab findings, and recalls, plus a beyond-PFAS hazard analysis. Grades are model-based estimates, not lab tests. How grades work →
