Our Place Always Titanium Pan Pro REVIEW (4 Months Later) | JON KUNG

[@RedRocket415]

Thank you for this review. Just randomly entered "Titanium Always Pan Pro review" into the search bar after being spammed for the 1000th time with an ad, and this review is tight, information dense, and succinct in its summary of who benefits. Brilliant review.

[@arcanum3000]

I (pre)ordered one of these pans actually before seeing your first video on it. My kitchen is smallish and doesn't have great storage and I've been working on paring back my cookware for about a year. I was less than impressed with Ninja's do-it-all nonstick pans, and this was different enough I decided to give it a try despite the cost. I received it a couple-few weeks ago and have done a little cooking with it. Some breakfast stuff, some steaks, that kind of thing. My initial impressions almost entirely mirror yours: It conducts heat evenly and effectively, can safely get very hot, and it's non-stick enough and easy enough to clean. That all makes it a good (even superior) substitute for cast iron, stainless steel, and even regular nonstick in some cases. It does seem to stick more with stuff that absorbs fat/oil such as potatoes, especially if you're not used to its heat conduction and haven't adjusted your heat setting accordingly. The wooden spatula and notched lid are not a huge problem but are definitely dumb. I would've rather had a glass lid and no spatula.

[@facelesstruth4961]

Would you happen to know if they are free from lead, cadmium, PFAS, PFOA, and PTFE ?

[@arcanum3000]

@@facelesstruth4961 Not using PFAS, etc., is sort of the point. I don't see any reason it would have lead or cadmium, but I haven't actually checked. You'd need to contact Our Place for 100% confirmation.

An extremely well-done review for folks like me who have been considering buying this pan … Jon, THANK YOU so much for your excellent work and for offering what appears to be a very honest review! Kudos!

[@robynriggs2336]

What is the smaller ceramic pan you use for eggs?

[@JoyJonas]

Great comparison reviews! I love that you came back to this pan after 4 months and thoroughly explored the pros and cons, ins and outs of it, plus comparisons to the other two pans. The affiliate links are also appreciated... they make it easy for me to check them out, and stow them in my Saved For Later (Wish upon a Star) List.

[@JemmaGuaney]

User "BDHo98" mentioned a more refined finish to the pans shipping this August. A direct comparison with the newer releases would be welcome also, finances permitting.

[@guama758]

Nice and concise review. I didnt even need a pan lol, but I just started watching and enjoyed it

[@BDHo98]

I bought a second pan on 08/30/2024 and they had clearly upgraded the fit and finish of the pan. Compared to one I bought in July, the lid is a thicker gauge of steel and the wooden spoon has been sanded down smoother and has a much sharper edge (though I wish it didn't exist in the first place...)

[@TheLumberJacked]

That great to hear they are doing mid run changes. Usually it goes the other way and they cheap out. The Gold/Chrome just came back in stock for the first time in like a year…so I had to order one.

[@Tellyawhat4]

Solid no BS review! Loved it! Thanks for talking me out of this pan and saving me some money!

[@MJmeow]

So, I have this pan, fairly new to me. This morning I put some avocado oil in it. Made 3 eggs, scrambled up and they totally stuck on the bottom of the pan... which wasted product. Perhaps medium heat is not needed to make eggs in this pan..So perhaps it's a temperature issue that I have to get use to lower heat with this pan....going to watch this review again. I do want to like this PAN. Perhaps I have a learning curve, but, the first time I made bacon even in it residue stayed in the little holes of this textured bottom. Soaking with soap and water now..will use oil when storing. Thank You.

[@jazzk4072]

Eggs are better fried at room temperature. Try it again with one room temperature egg placed into medium heat oil.😊

[@fortedexe8273]

Did you find out the correct temperature yet? I hate washing dishes, so I tend to use the dishwasher most of the time. If there is a way to avoid food sticking to the hole, I would buy this expensive pan.

[@Sewtangle]

I appreciate this very thorough and honest review. My husband and I are definitely considering this pan in the near future! 😊

[@julienorsomething]

What's the ceramic nonstick pan you use?

[@Sh0pah0lic4Eva]

[@egolayer13]

My fiancee got me this pan as a gift for my steaks and burgers, and I mostly love it. The texture definitely makes it frustrating to clean without a brush, but it has still easily replaced my cast iron.

[@JemmaGuaney]

Can you not boil white vinegar in it to clean it, or does the foodstuffs require physical agitation ?

[@MikeSpinak]

I got mine about a week and a half ago. Since then, I've made steaks in it several times and made eggs in it several times. I've been pleased. I would even say I've been impressed. I'm especially happy with the sear I get on steaks with it. I dislike the notch / spatula design gimmick, but it hasn't really been an issue for me. Also, the lids from my All Clad pan and Farberware pan fit on it and mostly solve any notch problem.

[@BDHo98]

Are you saying these other lids completely cover the notch? Please link!

[@joshtaylor475]

Great video. I was thinking about using this to replace my non-stick but now I feel it's a better fit for the curry / acidic types of dishes that I never like doing in my cast iron. Love the channel - subscribed :)

[@drumfor1]

This is what a review should be. Great job!

[@jonkung]

Appreciate you! I try to be as transparent as possible!

[@jojocooper2007]

Super useful, thank you. Not going to purchase the pan. Steam aim to the handle? I can already imagine I burn my hand all the time.

[@sanhotree6101]

I’ve had mine for two months and I’m loving it. I wish they would just away with that spatula gimmick, but the steam isn’t bad if you rotate the lid.

[@lifestylesew]

I just bought this before I clicked onto your channel. Great review, so I know I would like to watch all your other reviews. Now subscribed Loved it Jon

[@huebinhtrinh4830]

Excellent review. Thanks for covering so many aspects of this pan and your honest opinions.

[@NwinDii]

Glad that it has held up after 4 months. I feel like this will be good for family that are running through cheapish non stick pans at like one a year. Unfortunately it will not be this iteration if the pan because the vent for the spoon is different from what they do now and it also makes no sense. And maybe a smaller option instead. I believe Hexclad pans were available in asian markets long before hexclad promoted them and brought them global. So this is just a different coating. It would be great if we can get a long term revisit after a year or 2. I feel like if it's not well made some of those filled sections will fall out after repeated stress due to the different materials rate of thermal expansion and contraction.

[@NotforProfit]

I am really looking forward to the day when I can get this pan but with a better design. No spatula, Pyrex lid, ergonomic handle. That is the pan I will happily pay $195 for

[@rachelPH79]

Good review, thanks. Very helpful decision factor(s). Hi Boba.

[@adamhutton4165]

While I appreciate the review all your viewers want to see is an egg being cooked in the pan after four months of use. This is the ultimate test for a so called non stick pan. For some reason you drone on about the same things. Cook the egg with no oils or fat. Take your time and show us the entire process. Then show what it is like to use a small amount of oil.

that looks an amazing pan. I use my cast iron more and more trying to avoid non-stick. This feels like the best of both worlds - with the price as a catch. But if the pan keeps its properties over time, it's an investment. Thanks for the follow up!

Hi Jon, thanks for your videos, I also recently watched your non-stick & ceramic pan vid from almost a year ago. I’ve been considering the “Our Place Always Titanium Pan Pro” and appreciate your 4 month follow up. For folks like me concerned about the PFAS, heavy metals and forever chemicals in cookware, could you please do a review on the non-toxic Extrema cookware? I’m considering the Extrema 11” Signature Skillet and wondering how it compares to the Our Place Always Titanium Pan Pro and other skillets you like? I know, as you say, use different pans for different needs, but I’m really wondering about the Extrema and hope you can share your thoughts on it! Thanks for what you do 👍🙏😊

[@jonkung]

I haven't heard of that! I'll take a look but I'm still defaulting to a good non stick and a good stainless steel for most uses. Our place is starting to falter at the 6 month mark.

I personally love your review because you use woks and make Asian cuisines in which I am planning to do as Asian cuisines has the best flavor combinations in my opinion. I've seen another honest review that wasn't so positive and not recommending it but I ordered it before looking at reviews. My mission is to start cooking like a home chef since I now have a much bigger and improved kitchen to do that and I am pretty sure anything that's better and prettier than a dollar tree pan will impress me. My question for you is do you use this pan to make your chili oil now or just your usual to go to pan, just curious?

[@Tom-ts5qd]

Try soaking it in natron to clean the stuck parts

[@21BDP21]

My gut feeling before watching is that a titanium pan would suck do to its low thermal conductivity. Edit: So it's a normal layered stainless steel pan with an interior titanium coated surface. So just like why stainless pans are a sandwich construction due to the thermal conductivity of stainless steel this just is a "non -stick" version. Looking at the price it's not at much of a premium to a reputable similar pan with out the coating so it seems okay to me.

[@21BDP21]

Personally, I own an All Clad Stainless steel pan, and based off your review I don't see a reason to "upgrade". However, if one does not own a similar pan it seems like a decent option to look at.

[@oldvlognewtricks]

In all practical senses, you’re not going to notice the difference between thermal conductivity of most materials. Note there are pans explicitly made from things with extremely low relative thermal conductivity - like ceramic or glass - and the surface qualities are generally what anyone notices.

[@21BDP21]

@@oldvlognewtricks the thermal conductivity of the materials does matter though. Thats why the all clad pans were so good compared to others before there patent expired. As for the cook tops yeah that isn't the most efficient, but doesn't matter as much. The evenness of the pan temperature across the surface is what really matters. The heat source under the pan as the pan moves isnt heating evenly.

[@oldvlognewtricks]

@@21BDP21 You’re likely reacting to thermal mass, rather than conductivity. This has been widely tested and the information is easily searchable.

[@21BDP21]

@@oldvlognewtricks I'm just going off of what I learned in heat and mass transfer. A heavy pan will retain heat and not loose it when cold items are added, but hot spots will uneavenly heat and cook when the pan is lighter with less heat mass

[@kosmosbjm]

I do not cook meat, but maybe chicken. I’m mostly a vegetarian, so would this pan work for a veggie?

[@jonkung]

It would make a very good grill pan for your vegetables. But the textured surface would make it a little bit more difficult for starchy more delicate, root vegetables, such as potatoes. I imagine home fries would be a little bit of a mess, but I’ve never tried it myself.

[@AliaEbrahim-e1r]

Which is the other pan you have showed? Its non-stick but is it non toxic??

[@kookiecat79]

It’ll be ceramic coating. Pfas and pfao free which is made with sand. People need to remember that excessive heat will degrade any non stick coating and the heat can cause the coating to release chemicals. Non stick pans are really for low heat cooking. Too many people wreck their pan with heat, dishwasher and utensils.
