Most cookware cleaning guides exist because the pan is fragile. This one exists for the opposite reason. Our Place states the Titanium Always Pan Pro is dishwasher safe, metal-utensil safe, and safe with abrasive cleaning including steel wool — three permissions no coated pan gives you.
The Titanium Always Pan Pro has a coating-free titanium cooking surface, is dishwasher safe and metal-utensil safe and carries a limited lifetime warranty, while the ceramic Always Pan at $135 is hand-wash only with a 3-year warranty.
The dishwasher. Stated as “completely dishwasher safe”. This is the single biggest practical difference from the ceramic Always Pan, which is hand-wash-only and which Our Place tells you not to fully soak or submerge.
Metal utensils. Stated as safe with metal, wood or silicone. No need for a wooden spatula, no need to think about it.
Abrasive cleaning, including steel wool. This one is worth pausing on, because it is the strongest evidence for the coating-free claim. Steel wool on a ceramic or PTFE pan destroys it. A manufacturer that tells you to use steel wool is telling you there is nothing on the surface to remove.
So the honest answer to “how do I clean it” is: however you like. That is unusual enough in modern cookware that it is most of the reason to own one.
Coating-free metal pans do not fail from cleaning. They get a reputation for sticking, and the cause is almost always the same: food went in before the pan was properly hot, bonded to the surface, and then the next thing stuck to that.
So the maintenance that matters is not about washing up. It is preheating properly and using enough fat, which prevents the residue forming in the first place.
When residue does build up — and on any bare-metal pan it eventually will — this is exactly what the steel wool permission is for. On a ceramic pan that residue is permanent and the pan is on its way out. On this one you scrub it back and carry on. More on how a coating-free surface behaves here.
Care instructions read from each product's own page on fromourplace.com, 25 August 2026. Cells reading “not stated” mean the product page does not publish that guidance — the care card in the box is the authority.
Everything above comes back to one point: a manufacturer who permits steel wool is telling you there is no coating to scour off. No brand allows abrasives on a surface it needs to protect, so the care instructions end up being the most honest statement of what a pan is made of — more honest than the marketing above them. The range table makes the contrast plain, with the ceramic pan at hand wash only, no metal utensils and 450°F.
That test works on any brand, including ones that pay us nothing. If you are cleaning a titanium pan you already own, nothing here asks you to buy another. If you are reading this before buying, the care card is the thing to check first — Our Place's NoCo titanium is the line whose published rules read this way, and the specification guide is here.
Chrome and Brushed are $179; Chrome/Gold is $199. The box holds the pan and the Titanium Pro Lid.

1919 Cookware is an independent guide to Our Place cookware, written to help you work out what to buy. We earn a commission when you buy through our links, at no extra cost to you, and it does not decide our verdicts — where a rival or a cheaper model is the better buy, we say so. Prices and specifications are read from each manufacturer's own published product data rather than from long-term kitchen testing, and the page below explains what that does and does not settle. We do not accept press samples and no brand reviews our pages before publication. Our Place prices and specifications last verified 16 October 2026; competitor prices 25 August 2026.
