Our Place Mini Always Pan 8.5-inch Ceramic Nonstick Skillet — Oven-Safe, 10-in-1 Space-Saving

Designed for small kitchens and everyday convenience, this Mini Always Pan combines ten cooking functions into a single compact skillet. It uses a ThermaKind ceramic nonstick finish free of PFAS, PTFE, PFOA, lead, and cadmium, and pairs recycled-aluminum construction with a nesting beechwood spatula and a multifunctional domed lid. The result is a versatile, easy-to-store piece intended for eggs, sauces, grains, reheating, and small-batch meals.

How does this Mini pan save space and replace other cookware?

Rather than keeping separate skillets, saucepans, baking dishes, strainers, and serving bowls, the Mini Always Pan performs multiple tasks in one compact footprint. Its deeper walls and included lid let you braise, simmer, steam, and roast in a single vessel. The beechwood spatula nests on the pan to reduce clutter in drawers.

• 10-in-1 capabilities: fry, sauté, simmer, boil, braise, roast, bake, strain, serve, store
• Compact 8.5" diameter fits small cabinets and dorm-room kitchens
• Nested spatula and stackable shape for tidy storage

Is the nonstick coating safe and how does it perform?

The pan uses Our Place’s ThermaKind ceramic nonstick surface formulated without PFAS (including PTFE), PFOA, lead, or cadmium for everyday cooking without those chemicals. It offers a slippery release for eggs and sauces while cleaning more easily than bare metal. As with all ceramic finishes, avoiding metal utensils and high-abrasion scrubbing will prolong the surface life.

• Ceramic nonstick finish for effortless release and quick cleanup
• Free from PTFE, PFOA, lead, and cadmium for non-toxic cookware
• Best maintained with wooden or silicone utensils—beechwood spatula included

Can I use this pan on the stovetop and in the oven?

Yes—this Mini Always Pan is made from recycled aluminum that heats evenly on gas, electric, and induction stovetops (check manufacturer details for induction compatibility) and is oven-safe up to 450°F. Its lightweight construction heats quickly for fast breakfasts and weeknight dinners, and the lid’s domed shape allows you to trap steam or vent it as needed when finishing dishes in the oven.

• Recycled-aluminum body for rapid, even heating
• Oven-safe up to 450°F for finishing or roasting small portions
• Domed lid locks in steam or vents on demand for braising and steaming

What extras are included and how do they improve everyday use?

The Mini Always Pan ships with a custom beechwood spatula designed to nest on the pan for compact storage and serve right from the pan. The multifunctional lid doubles as a steaming dome and a strain-and-serve accessory, reducing the number of tools you need. Those small conveniences make meal prep, serving, and storing leftovers simpler.

• Custom beechwood spatula nests on the pan to save drawer space
• Multifunctional lid for steaming, braising, or venting when baking
• Deeper walls suitable for sauces, grains, and portioned meals

Who is this for? The Our Place Mini Always Pan is ideal for single cooks, apartment dwellers, students, and anyone who needs a compact, multiuse skillet for everyday breakfasts, sides, and small meals. It’s a practical pick if you want to minimize cookware clutter while keeping a safe, ceramic nonstick surface and oven capability for finishing dishes.
