$199 in Chrome and Brushed, $219 in Chrome/Gold. It is the largest pan in Our Place's titanium range and $20 more than the 10.5″ pan. Whether that is worth paying comes down to how many people you cook for, and it is a more clear-cut decision than most upgrade questions.
The 12.5 inch Large Always Pan Pro runs $199 to $219 and shares the range's coating-free titanium cooking surface on 3mm tri-ply construction, rated to 1000°F, dishwasher safe, metal-utensil safe and covered by a limited lifetime warranty.
Read from Our Place's product data, 16 October 2026. Chrome and Brushed are the same price on every size; Chrome/Gold is $20 more — $175, $199 and $219.
Cooking surface goes up with the square of the radius, so a 12.5-inch pan does not give you 19% more room than a 10.5-inch one — it gives you closer to 40%.
That matters more than any other consideration on this page, because the most common reason food does not brown properly is crowding. A pan that lets four chicken thighs sit apart cooks them; a pan that makes them touch steams them.
So the honest rule is not about household size in the abstract. If you routinely cook in two batches, the bigger pan is worth $20. If you do not, it is $20 for a heavier pan that is harder to store.
Weight. The 10.5″ is 4.6 lb with its lid; the 12.5″ is 5.6 lb with its lid. Fully-clad tri-ply scales, and the larger pan is noticeably heavier. If you cannot comfortably lift a loaded 10.5″ pan one-handed, handle this one before buying.
Hob fit. A 12.5-inch pan overhangs a small burner and can crowd a four-burner hob so nothing else fits beside it.
Storage. Obvious, and routinely forgotten until the pan arrives.
Heat demand. More surface needs more burner to heat evenly. On a modest hob a very large pan can end up hot in the middle and cool at the edges, which defeats the point of buying it.
Buy the 12.5″ if you cook for four or more most nights, if you batch-cook, or if you have already noticed yourself running two rounds through a smaller pan.
Buy the 10.5″ for almost everyone else — and at $179 in Chrome or Brushed against the Large's $199, the gap is only $20, which makes this one of the cheapest size upgrades in the range.
Buy Chrome or Brushed, not Chrome/Gold. Gold costs $20 more here, and across this range Our Place rates the Gold finish to 750°F rather than 1000°F. Paying a premium for a lower ceiling is the one straightforwardly bad decision available in the titanium line.
Roughly 40% more cooking surface than the 10.5″.

Our Place does not publish a diameter, capacity or weight specific to the 12.5″ pan on the pages we read, so this page states none. The surface-area figure is geometry applied to the stated sizes, not a manufacturer claim.

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.
