All-Clad's ceramic pan is thirty-five dollars cheaper and comes with a lid. It also carries no PFAS, PTFE or PFOA claim anywhere on its product or collection page — where Our Place lists every exclusion by name.
PFAS, PTFE, PFOA, lead and cadmium named as excluded, a three-year warranty, and a lid, spatula and steamer basket in the box.
Thirty-five dollars less, a tempered glass lid included, and stated induction compatibility — with a one-year warranty and no non-toxic claim published.
Buy the Our Place Always Pan if the written PFAS exclusion is what you came for. It is the only one of the two that gives you the sentence, and it backs it with three years of warranty against All-Clad's one.
Buy the All-Clad HA1 if you want a well-made ceramic pan with a lid for a hundred dollars and are comfortable asking the brand directly about coating composition. It is thirty-five dollars cheaper, hard-anodised, and made by a company that has been building cookware since 1971.
All-Clad does not publish a PFAS, PTFE or PFOA claim for the HA1 ceramic line on either its product page or its collection page. That is not evidence of a problem, but it does mean the assurance you get from Our Place, Caraway and GreenPan is not offered here. Ask All-Clad directly if it matters.
All-Clad publishes a hard-anodised exterior over recycled aluminium, which is a tougher outer surface than Our Place describes. Neither publishes coating durability data, so “better made” beyond the exterior is not verifiable from public information.
Our Place. The Always Pan includes a modular steam-release lid, a beechwood spatula and a steamer basket. The All-Clad includes a tempered glass lid and nothing else.
Our Place, at three years against All-Clad's one — which is notable given All-Clad warrants its stainless lines for a lifetime.
PFAS, PTFE, PFOA, lead and cadmium named as excluded. Lid, spatula and steamer basket included. Three-year warranty.

Tri-ply clad with a coating-free titanium surface, rated to 1000°F, dishwasher and metal-utensil safe, limited lifetime warranty — and it still publishes the full exclusion list.

We would rather you checked than took our word for the absent claim. Open the All-Clad HA1 product page and search it for the words PFAS, PTFE or PFOA. If All-Clad adds a claim, we will update this page and say when it changed.
We earn a commission if you buy through our links, at no extra cost to you. It has not shaped the verdict — this page says All-Clad is the better-value pan on price, lid and construction, and tells you to email All-Clad rather than take our word on coating composition.
This is a comparison of published specifications, not a hands-on test. We report the absence of All-Clad's non-toxic claim as an absence, not as a finding about the product. Figures verified 25 August 2026. Product photography is Our Place's own.
1919 Cookware is an independent comparison site. We earn a commission when you buy through our links, at no extra cost to you, and it does not decide our verdicts — we name a competitor as the better buy on more than half of these pages. Every comparison is built from published manufacturer specifications, verified against each store's own product data where such data exists, and each page states plainly what it could not establish. We do not accept press samples and no brand reviews our pages before publication. Figures last verified 25 August 2026.
All-Clad is the name a serious home cook reaches for, and the HA1 ceramic nonstick line is its answer to the Caraways and Our Places of the world. It undercuts the Always Pan by thirty-five dollars, ships with a lid, and states induction compatibility outright. On the specification sheet it is the better-value pan.
Then you look for the thing this entire category is sold on, and it is not there.
Sources: fromourplace.com and all-clad.com product pages plus the HA1 Ceramic Nonstick collection page, retrieved 25 August 2026. The Our Place price was confirmed against the store's own structured product data; All-Clad runs no equivalent endpoint, so its $99.99 is single-sourced from the product page. We searched both All-Clad pages for the terms PFAS, PTFE, PFOA, Teflon, lead and cadmium and found none of them.
All-Clad publishes no PFAS, PTFE or PFOA statement for the HA1 ceramic line. That is a fact about the page, not a finding about the pan. Ceramic sol-gel coatings do not generally require PFAS, and it is entirely plausible this pan is as clean as any other here.
But the whole reason this category exists is that buyers want the assurance in writing, from the manufacturer. Our Place gives you a named exclusion list. All-Clad gives you a ceramic pan and lets you infer. If you are shopping this category specifically to avoid forever chemicals, that difference is the entire purchase — and no amount of All-Clad's reputation substitutes for a sentence they have not written.
Thirty-five dollars cheaper. A tempered glass lid in the box where Our Place gives you a modular lid plus a spatula and steamer basket. Recycled aluminium with a hard-anodised exterior, which is a more durable outer surface than Our Place publishes. Induction stated plainly. Country of manufacture disclosed, which Our Place does not do.
The two places Our Place clearly wins on paper are the warranty — three years against one — and the accessories. Neither of those is why most people buy an Always Pan, and the PFAS statement probably is.
This comparison covers the HA1 ceramic line only. All-Clad's traditional nonstick ranges use conventional coatings and should not be assumed to share whatever the ceramic line's composition is. If you are cross-shopping within All-Clad, check each line separately rather than treating the brand as one answer.
We do not know, and neither does anyone else reading publicly available information. All-Clad has not published a claim in either direction on this line, and no independent lab result for this specific pan was available. If it matters to your purchase — and in this category it usually does — email All-Clad and ask them directly before you buy. That is the honest answer, and it is more useful than a guess dressed up as a verdict.
