Our Place Titanium Pro Mini Always Pan
A non-stick coating of unstated type, with a brand PFAS statement we have not verified.
Our Place says its ceramic non-stick coating is made without PFAS, including Teflon-type coating and PFOA. We record that as an unverified brand claim. Its record describes a non-stick coating of unstated type, which is still counted.

Is Our Place Titanium Pro Mini Always Pan non-toxic? What it is made of
Our Place states this pan has a titanium-reinforced nonstick coating but does not publicly name the fluorine-free polymer used, only claiming PFAS avoidance. The underlying material appears to be aluminum or aluminum alloy with this proprietary nonstick layer bonded on top. Titanium reinforcement typically adds hardness and scratch resistance to extend coating life, which indirectly reduces leaching risk by slowing degradation.
What’s concerning
Category baseline
The starting point for this type of product, before anything specific to this product is counted.
Disclosed non-fluorinated coating
Coating is named and the brand states it is made without PFAS.
Nonstick coating degradation and leaching
The unspecified polymer coating may degrade if overheated or scratched; any unknown PFAS-free substitute has not been independently tested in long-term use at typical cooking temperatures. Our Place provides no published data on safe upper heat limits or expected coating lifetime.
Aluminum substrate leaching
If the underlying material is bare or thinly coated aluminum, acidic foods (tomato, vinegar, lemon) can promote aluminum ion migration into food. Titanium reinforcement does not necessarily protect the substrate from direct contact if the nonstick layer wears through.
Thermal decomposition of unstated nonstick polymer
Without disclosure of the specific PFAS-free polymer, independent assessment of its decomposition temperature and byproducts is not possible. If heated above the recommended range, any synthetic fluorocarbon-free coating may release unknown volatile compounds.
What’s reassuring
Brand-stated PFAS-free
The brand states this product is PFAS-free. We have not verified the claim.
Coating adhesion and flaking
No reported field failures or peeling of the titanium-reinforced coating have been documented in public recalls or consumer reports. However, the proprietary formulation has limited long-term independent durability data.
Heavy metals
No recalls or contamination findings for lead, cadmium, or other heavy metals in this model are on record. Our Place does not publicly certify absence of heavy metals in manufacturing or bonding layers.

The brand's record and disclosure
Our Place has made a branded commitment to PFAS-free cookware but has not published third-party test results, safety data sheets, or the specific polymer chemistry of their nonstick formulation. The company markets to consumer-conscious buyers but maintains opacity on the exact composition of its proprietary coating. No major recalls or contamination findings specific to this model are on public record, though the unspecified coating chemistry limits independent verification of safety claims.
How it compares in its category
Among nonstick cookware, this pan occupies a middle ground, it avoids legacy Teflon-type coating (Teflon) and its thermal decomposition risk, but does not disclose what PFAS-free polymer replaces it. Ceramic-coated pans offer more transparency and simpler chemistry but lower nonstick performance; stainless steel avoids coatings entirely but requires more oil. Our Place's brand premium and claimed titanium reinforcement position it above budget nonstick but below cookware with verified independent certification.
If you buy it
Keep this pan below 400-450°F (200-230°C) to avoid thermal stress on any unknown nonstick polymer. Use silicone, wood, or plastic utensils only; metal will scratch the coating and accelerate leaching. Hand wash rather than dishwasher to extend coating life and reduce premature degradation. Replace the pan if the nonstick surface visibly flakes, peels, or shows large scratches exposing the underlying substrate, which signals coating failure and heightened leaching risk.
