When I unpacked the box the pot felt really lightweight and I was a bit disappointed. However, having used it for 6 months it is brilliant, lightweight and easy to clean using a non-scratch sponge. I much prefer this to our previous cast iron pot.

Quality

I purchased the Large Always Pan and the Large "Perfect Pot" expecting long‑term performance from “premium” cookware. After a period of normal household use, both pans lost their non‑stick: eggs and everyday foods stick, and cleaning now requires soaking and scrubbing. I’ve always followed the care instructions: using oil/fats, only wooden/silicone utensils, and never washing while hot. I hand wash and they have never been in the dishwasher. I tried all the recommended restoration steps (boiling water, overnight soak, bicarbonate + vinegar). Nothing restored the coating. I supplied photos and a detailed account to customer service. The response focused on the 1‑year warranty, and I was told that non‑stick deterioration after ongoing use is considered wear and tear. No replacement or refund was offered beyond a small discount to buy a new pan. Given the price, I expected the pans to be durable and to remain fit for normal cooking for far longer. My experience with both items suggests the coating doesn’t last, and the lack of a practical resolution from support was disappointing. I can’t recommend these pans based on durability and after‑sales support.

My pot arrived with a minor cosmetic defect (unevenness in the thickness of the rim). I contacted the Our Place customer service team through Amazon, and their representative was incredibly responsive, pleasant, and efficient. She was quick to fix the issue for me and made it right. I was truly delighted with their exceptional customer service! Prior to ordering this pot, I already had a 12” Lavender-coloured Always Pan and also the Griddle Pan in Lavender, as well. After using the Always Pan for a while, I decided to get a Perfect Pot, as well…But I spent some time deliberating on the colour. (Yes, the colour was that important to me.) Should I keep it cohesive with the Lavender theme? Or could I venture out with a different colour to mix it up a bit? I wasn’t sure how two different colours would look together on my cooktop, but I finally went with the Blue Salt. (The Sage and Spice were contenders, but I thought the Blue Salt would look better with the Lavender). The Blue Salt pot is absolutely beautiful! I love the size - It’s a little smaller than I was expecting, but in a more manageable way. The pot stays on my cooktop (as my cupboards are too full with other stuff)…and that’s just fine because the design of the pot is so visually attractive and the colour is just gorgeous. The colour complements my Lavender Always Pan (which also stays out on my stovetop) just beautifully and they both look really nice displayed together. I’m so pleased with my choice. In terms of usage, I love how lightweight this pot is! Even full of pasta/potatoes and water, it’s surprisingly light for me to easily carry over to my sink to pour out the excess water. The built-in strainer lid makes it so easy for me to pour out the hot water, as well. The pot cleans up easily, particularly since the ceramic is non-stick. One thing I’m not sure about, though, is that the instructions say to only use this pot on low-to-medium heat on the stovetop in order to preserve the nonstick. As an impatient cook who has always cranked my stove up to high heat in the past, I find this to be a bit of an annoyance and uncertainty for me. I’m a little torn. So far, I’ve used it only on Medium heat per the instructions….Though if I’m boiling water, I have to crank it up to High…..Right? I hope that’s okay…I’m guessing I’m eventually going to have to give in and crank it up without water inside to sear meat, etc…but I haven’t gotten there yet. I’m still a bit tentative because of the confusing instructions…For this reason, I’d say that this pot won’t replace your ridiculously heavy enamel Dutch oven, which is meant for very high heat…But the lighter weight and quick heat distribution are definitely selling points for this pot. Other than that, I’m loving this pot. I also ordered a pair of the Hot Grips (in Lavender) directly from the Our Place website (which was cheaper than the ones listed on Amazon)…and while the Hot Grips were still on the expensive side for what they are, I’m still glad I got them as they make it so much easier for me to grip the handles of my Our Place cookware…and when I flip the grips upside-down, the grips are big enough to “just” cover the edge of the lid, which helps to keep it in place as I pour out the hot water. The only thing I don’t like about the Hot Grips is that I can’t grip the knobs on the pot lids with them…That’s disappointing since those knobs can get hot! This Our Place Perfect Pot comes with a wooden spoon that was specifically designed for this pot, and for the record, I ordered this pot when it was on sale for $145 CAD. Note: I was confused with the photos of some of the other reviews on here. Some other reviewers’ photos suggest that they got a Roasting Rack (the grey insert with the holes in it that can also be used for steaming) included with their pot….And I think they might have…I’ve seen this type of inconsistency in other Our Place product reviews on Amazon before. I noticed a similar issue with my Griddle Pan - Based on the reviews, some colours for certain products seemed to have come with additional accessories included (e.g., the oven mat that only came with SOME Griddle Pans) while others did not…but for presumably the same price. I don’t know why Our Place does this. It can be misleading and confusing and disappointing…especially for anyone browsing through users’ photos and reading the reviews on here! For anyone who is interested, my Blue Salt Perfect Pot did NOT come with the Roasting Rack insert that you see in some people’s photos. I ended up buying one separately through the Our Place website (even though it was definitely over-priced). I haven’t used it yet, but it fits perfectly inside this pot. For the record, this pot ONLY came with the pot, the lid, and a wooden spoon. Everything else you have to buy separately and pay extra for.

Excelente producto,acabado perfecto,buena calidad,durable

I got this Perfect Pot because I’m a big fan of my Always Pan. The pot is similar in a lot of ways in terms of care (keep heat medium, don’t use abrasive scrubbing agents when cleaning) and in terms of ease of use - very easy to clean, easy to sauté/roast/boil etc without ingredients sticking or burning. The highlights for me are: - the non-toxic non-stick - it’s so nice to cook larger 1-pot type meals in this pot because nothing sticks to the sides and veggies don’t burn up on the bottom of the pot. Everything cooks evenly. Rice dishes are my favorite in this pot, and it’s a dream for all of my veggie roasting+soup making too. - oven safe! It’s a gorgeous stove-to-oven design, easy to make Dutch oven type meals in (and then easy to clean too) It is pretty big (I live in a small apartment) but I got rid of a few clunkier pots and an old Dutch oven to make room. So it’s ultimately saving me space by replacing those old units with 1 pot. And I just put a little protective padding inside before I stack smaller pots inside (to preserve the nonstick) And did I mention easy to clean? So much better than crusty old Dutch ovens that need to be soaked overnight! This pot practically wipes clean (and I taught my husband, the dishwasher, how to be gentle while cleaning to preserve the nonstick)

This pot is beautiful, well designed and amazingly lightweight. I have only used it for one of my favourite dishes; to braise the meat on the stovetop, and then in the oven with veggies in the pot for a slow cook. Then it was reheated a few times on low temperature when I wanted to dish up more. The wooden spoon that comes with it has grooves on the handle to sit on the edges of the pot. It washed up like a dream. The accompanying leaflet was well laid out, and gave clear information about what to do and not do. Couldn't be happier, and I might just buy its companion pot.

Bought this for my cousin who loves to cook soup and chili. Perfect size and weight. Loved the blue color too.
