Made In sells five-ply construction made in Italy and nothing else in the box. Our Place sells cast aluminium and three accessories. Fourteen dollars separates them, and they are not competing on the same thing.
Buy the Made In if construction is what you care about. Five-ply fully clad is genuinely better engineering than cast aluminium with a stainless disc, it is lighter while being sturdier, and it is made somewhere the brand is willing to name.
Buy the Our Place Always Pan if you want a complete cooking setup for less money. Lid, spatula and steamer basket included, fourteen dollars cheaper, and a warranty you can actually read the terms of.
The mistake is treating this as one pan against another. It is a pan against a package, and which is better depends entirely on whether you already own a lid.
On construction, yes — five-ply fully clad is a step above cast aluminium with a stainless base, and that is a published specification rather than a marketing claim. On coating durability neither publishes data, so quality claims beyond construction are not verifiable.
No. The $149 CeramiClad 2.0 10in is the pan alone. The Always Pan includes its modular steam-release lid at $135.
Made In, at 2.5 lb against 3.9 lb — though the Our Place figure includes the lid, so the gap between bare pans is narrower than it looks.
Both publish exclusion lists covering PFAS, PFOA, lead and cadmium. Our Place additionally names PTFE. Neither publishes third-party lab results on its product page.
Both. Made In states gas, electric and induction compatibility on its product page. Our Place states compatibility with all cooktops including induction, though on its Cookware Duo page rather than the standalone Always Pan listing.
Fourteen dollars less with a lid, spatula and steamer basket included, and a stated three-year warranty.

Our Place's own tri-ply clad pan, and the one that answers Made In on engineering rather than on accessories. Rated to 1000°F with a limited lifetime warranty.
$169 as most commonly configured. Price checked 25 August 2026.
We earn a commission if you buy through our links, at no extra cost to you. It has not shaped the verdict — this page states plainly that Made In has the better-engineered pan.
This is a comparison of published specifications, not a hands-on test. Our Place's price was verified against its own store data; Made In's was taken from its product page and could not be cross-checked. Product photography is Our Place's own. Figures verified 25 August 2026.
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.
Made In sells to restaurant kitchens and prices like it. Our Place sells to home cooks and photographs like it. Put their ceramic nonstick pans side by side and the fourteen-dollar gap between them turns out to be the least interesting number on the page.
Sources: fromourplace.com and madeincookware.com product pages, retrieved 25 August 2026. The Our Place price was confirmed against the store's own structured product data. Made In does not expose an equivalent endpoint, so its $149 is taken from the product page and is single-sourced. Made In's published exclusion list does not name PTFE; we report that as stated rather than drawing a conclusion from it.
This is the one specification on the page that is not marketing. Made In publishes fully clad five-ply construction — alternating layers of stainless and aluminium through the entire pan, not just the base. Our Place publishes a cast aluminium body with a stainless base. Clad construction heats more evenly and warps less, and it is why the Made In pan weighs 2.5 lb while doing more.
It is also made in Italy, which Made In publishes and Our Place does not address. If provenance is part of what you are buying, only one of these tells you where it was made.
Fourteen dollars cheaper. A wider pan. A modular lid, a beechwood spatula and a steamer basket, none of which Made In includes — and the Made In pan has no lid at all at that price. A stated three-year warranty rather than “limited or lifetime” with no per-product detail.
Add a lid to the Made In and the gap stops being fourteen dollars. Price the configuration you would actually cook with, not the two headline numbers.
Both exclude PFAS, PFOA, lead and cadmium in writing. Our Place additionally names PTFE; Made In's published list does not. We are reporting what each brand states, not inferring what that omission means — PTFE is itself a PFAS compound, so a PFAS-free claim arguably covers it. If it matters to you, ask Made In directly rather than reading either way into a product page.
Clad construction demonstrably improves heat distribution. Whether that translates into a ceramic coating surviving longer is a reasonable hypothesis and an untested one — neither brand publishes durability data, and no independent long-term test of both exists. Made In claims its CeramiClad 2.0 is 43 percent more durable than its own previous version, which is a comparison with itself rather than with Our Place.
