What you need to know about PFAS, coatings, and ceramic in Our Place cookware
What makes Our Place cookware non-toxic
Our Place cookware is built with safety at its core. The ceramic nonstick coating contains no PFAS, PTFE, or PFOA, and every piece is tested to ensure it's free from lead and cadmium. The materials used are food-safe and designed to last without breaking down into your meals.
Understanding non-toxic cookware and what it means
Non-toxic cookware means cookware made without harmful chemicals that can leach into food during cooking. Traditional nonstick cookware often contains PTFE and PFOA, which break down at high temperatures. PFAS chemicals, known as forever chemicals, persist in the environment and your body. Our Place avoids all of these by using ceramic nonstick technology instead, giving you cookware that performs without the health risks.
