Key Takeaways
In a hurry? Here’s a quick summary of the key differences between HexClad and the Our Place Always Pan.
Base Material: HexClad pans are made of durable 3-ply stainless steel. The Always Pan has an aluminum base, while the Titanium Always Pan Pro features a 3-ply construction with a stainless steel exterior, aluminum core, and pure titanium cooking surface.
Cooking Surface: HexClad features a unique hybrid cooking surface with laser-etched steel hexagons protecting the non-stick coating. The Always Pan has a less durable ceramic non-stick surface. The Titanium Always Pan Pro boasts a textured titanium surface called NoCo (No Coating) that is non-stick without any chemical coatings.
Exterior Finish and Colors: HexClad has a black non-stick exterior with thin steel hexagons, while the Always Pan comes in several colorful options with a textured finish. The Always Pan Pro has a polished steel exterior.
Handles: HexClad’s handles are riveted and rounded and can rotate unexpectedly if your hand is wet or greasy. Both Always Pan handles are screwed on, squared, and designed to hold the wooden spatula that comes with the pan.
Weight and Shape: The Always Pan is heavier than HexClad due to its thicker walls (4.2 mm vs. 3 mm), taller sides, and helper handle.
Accessories: The Always Pan comes with a lid, steamer basket, and wooden spatula, while HexClad offers just a tempered glass lid.
Cooking Performance: I tested HexClad and the Always Pan for over a year, and HexClad performs better, with longer-lasting non-stick properties and superior searing. The Always Pan’s non-stick coating wore down quickly, and its slick surface didn’t allow for a good sear. I’ve been testing the Titanium Always Pan Pro since it was released in April 2024. So far, food doesn’t stick and it sears evenly.
Heat Conduction and Retention: Based on my controlled tests, HexClad conducts and retains heat slightly better than the Always Pan.
Oven-Safe Temperature: HexClad is oven-safe up to 500°F. The updated Always Pan 2.0 is safe up to 450°F (enameled cast iron version up to 500°F). The Titanium Always Pan Pro can handle up to 1000°F due to its pure titanium surface.
Metal Utensils: HexClad’s steel hexagons make it metal utensil-safe. The Always Pan’s ceramic coating can easily scratch, so metal utensils are not recommended. The Titanium Always Pan Pro’s hard titanium surface is designed to withstand metal utensils.
Price: The Titanium Always Pan Pro is the most expensive, followed by HexClad, and then the regular Our Place Always Pan. All three are pricey within their respective categories.
Should You Buy HexClad or the Our Place Always Pan?
HexClad lasts longer, performs better, and lives up to its marketing claims more than the regular Always Pan. Our Place does a good job marketing the Always Pan as a “do it all” cookware system, but it’s really just a saute pan with tall sides, a wood spatula, and a steamer basket. The Titanium Always Pan Pro offers lasting non-stick convenience without chemical coatings, but its high price, uncomfortable handle, and poorly designed lid are drawbacks. If you prioritize avoiding traditional non-stick materials and are willing to invest in a pan designed to last, the Titanium Always Pan Pro is worth considering. Otherwise, HexClad is still the best all-around option.
If you’re deciding between the two, go with HexClad. It’s available on HexClad.com and Amazon. If you’re still interested in the Always Pan, you can read more reviews on Amazon and FromOurPlace.com.

Difference 1: Base Material
HexClad pans are 3 mm thick and made of 3-ply fully clad stainless steel. The three bonded layers are: a magnetic 18/10 steel bottom layer for induction compatibility, a middle aluminum layer for efficient heat conduction, and a top 18/10 stainless steel layer.
This type of construction is also used by premium cookware brands like All-Clad, Made In, and Demeyere. It offers an ideal balance between durability and heat distribution.
The Our Place Always Pan is 4.2 mm thick and made of 100% recycled aluminum. Since aluminum is not magnetic, and pans must be magnetic to work on an induction cooktop, Our Place bonds a steel plate to the bottom.
While aluminum is a good heat conductor, HexClad’s fully-clad stainless steel construction is more durable and resistant to warping or denting than the Always Pan’s aluminum base.
The new Titanium Always Pan Pro has a different construction. It features a 3-ply design with an exterior layer of 430-grade stainless steel, an aluminum core for heat conduction, and a pure titanium cooking surface. This titanium layer has no chemical coatings.
Difference 2: Cooking Surface
One of the most significant differences between HexClad and Our Place’s Always Pans is their cooking surfaces.
HexClad features a unique hybrid design with laser-etched steel hexagons extending up the sides and a steel band around the rim.
The steel hexagons are slightly raised, so when you drag togs or a spatula across the surface, the utensil only touches the steel, not the non-stick coating. Because of this, HexClad pans last significantly longer than typical non-stick pans.
The Always Pan has a more traditional smooth ceramic non-stick coating on its cooking surface, which they call Thermakind. This coating is made from natural sand-derived silicon, giving it a slick, glossy appearance.
The main benefit of this material is that it doesn’t contain substances like PFOA, PFAS, PTFE, lead, or cadmium. And unlike PTFE-coated non-stick pans (such as HexClad), ceramic cookware does not release harmful fumes when overheated.
The main downside of ceramic non-stick coatings is that they don’t last long. The non-stick properties can deteriorate quickly, sometimes within the first six months of use.
Our Place addresses the durability issues with the new Titanium Always Pan Pro. This pan features a unique textured titanium cooking surface called NoCo (No Coating).
Small circles are debossed into the titanium with tiny raised dots inside. This pattern creates airflow between the food and pan, making the surface non-stick without any chemical coatings.
Difference 3: Exterior Finish and Colors
HexClad extends the stainless steel and non-stick hybrid pattern from the interior to the exterior. The exterior’s non-stick coating makes it easier to remove stains from sauce and oil that spill over the sides.
However, one Prudent Reviews reader informed me that the raised steel hexagons on the bottom of her pan scratched her glass cooktop. Here’s the email she sent me (she gave me permission to published it):
“I discovered that sliding the HexClad pan on my flat cooktop was putting scratches on the cooktop surface — much deeper and more noticeable than the typically very light scratches from most other pans. I examined my pan for any obvious burrs on the bottom, and there were none. But I noticed you can see and feel the shiny hex pattern on the outside bottom pan surface. So it must be that etched metal on the bottom that is cutting into and scratching the cooktop!”
I’ve been using HexClad for years, and this has never happened to me. However, I searched thousands of reviews and found a few other HexClad customers complaining about it. The chances of it happening are slim, but it’s still a risk to consider.
The Our Place Always Pan features a textured exterior that resembles enameled cast iron despite being made of coated aluminum. This bumpy surface adds a rustic charm to the pan’s appearance.
Our Place offers several different color choices for the Always Pan, ranging from soft pastels like lavender and blue salt to vibrant hues such as rosa (a bright red/pink) and azul (a striking blue).
The Titanium Always Pan Pro has a shiny, polished steel exterior. I like the mirror-like look, but it’s not practical. Every fingerprint and smudge is clearly visible. You have to polish it often to keep it looking good.
Difference 4: Handles
Another major difference between HexClad and the Our Place Always Pan is their handles.
HexClad’s handles are short, round, and connected to the pan with two rivets. Although the handles are comfortable, their rounded shape causes them to rotate if your hand is greasy or wet or if you’re using a towel or pot holder.
Instead of rivets, both Always Pan handles are screwed onto the pan’s body. This rivetless design makes the cooking surface easier to clean since rivets often collect oil and grime.
However, the handle on the regular Always Pan can be removed with an Allen wrench, and removable handles are more likely to loosen over time.
Another unique feature of Always Pan handles is their squared shape, which is quite unusual for a pan handle. This boxy design serves a specific purpose: it allows the included wooden spoon to rest flat on the handle.
While this is a clever design element, it takes some time to get used to, and I’m not a big fan of it. The edges dig into your hand and the grip doesn’t feel natural.
Difference 5: Weight and Shape
HexClad and the Our Place Always Pan have notable differences in shape and weight.
The 10-inch HexClad fry pan weighs approximately 2.5 pounds, while the 10-inch Always Pan is slightly heavier at 2.7 pounds. The Titanium Always Pan Pro is 3.4 pounds.
This difference can be attributed to two main factors: the thickness of the pans and their overall design.
The Always Pan has a thicker construction. Its walls are 4.2 mm thick, while HexClad pans are 3 mm thick.
Also, the Always Pan is designed to be an all-purpose pan rather than a traditional frying pan. As a result, it features taller, more vertical sides to accommodate various cooking tasks. The sides of the Always Pan are 2.75 inches tall, whereas HexClad’s are only 1.75 inches tall.
The helper handle is another design element that adds to the Always Pan’s weight.
This extra handle provides better control and stability when moving the pan, especially when it’s full. HexClad does not have a helper handle, which helps keep its overall weight down.
Difference 6: Accessories
HexClad keeps it simple: you can purchase the pan with or without a tempered glass lid.
The Our Place Always Pan comes with accessories designed to maximize the pan’s versatility and convenience. The package includes a domed-shaped lid, a steamer basket that doubles as a colander (the Titanium Always Pan Pro doesn’t come with the steamer basket), and a Beechwood Spatula that rests securely on the pan’s handle.
While the steamer basket and spatula are nice to have, Our Place markets these additions as a major benefit. In reality, they don’t add much value to the product. You can buy both items cheaply online or at any home goods store.
Difference 7: Cooking Performance
I’ve tested HexClad for several years, the regular Always Pan for over a year, and the Titanium Always Pan Pro since its recent release. Here’s how they compare.
Both brands perform well initially. The Always Pan’s smooth ceramic non-stick surface easily releases eggs and other delicate foods. As long as the surface is well-greased, HexClad releases food with no sticking.
However, the Always Pan’s ceramic coating began to wear down after just a few months. As it degraded, I had to use more and more oil and butter to prevent sticking. This decline in non-stick performance is a common issue with ceramic coatings, and the Always Pan is no exception.
HexClad’s non-stick performance remained much more consistent over time. The stainless steel hexagons protect the non-stick valleys, making the surface more durable and scratch-resistant. Even after a year of use, there was no noticeable change in HexClad’s non-stick properties.
HexClad is also much better when it comes to searing. The raised stainless steel hexagons keep oil in the center of the pan and provide a textured surface that grips food, allowing for better searing and browning.
The Always Pan’s slick surface doesn’t grip the food enough and oil tends to slide to the corners. It’s not the best pan for salmon, steak, burger, and any other foods that benefit from a nice crispy sear.
Another aspect I don’t like about the Always Pan is the steamer basket. The metal legs are short, so you can only put a small amount of water in the pan. If you add too much, you’ll boil the food instead of steam it. But if you put too little, the water burns off quickly before fully cooking the food. Additionally, the feet on the steamer basket can scratch the non-stick coating.
One advantage of the Always Pan is its squared handles, which are less likely to rotate in your hand. In my experience with HexClad, there were several instances when washing the pan or sliding food onto a plate, the rounded handle twisted unexpectedly, which can be a bit frustrating.
The Titanium Always Pan Pro is impressive so far. The textured titanium surface releases even delicate foods like eggs with minimal sticking, as long as you use a little oil.
It can’t match a Teflon pan’s slickness but is easier to use than stainless steel and releases food better than well-seasoned cast iron or carbon steel. With no coating to wear off, its non-stick properties should last indefinitely.
It also browns and sears well. Take a look at the crust on the burger below:
It also browns chicken nice and evenly:
However, the squared handle is uncomfortable, and the lid has some design flaws. The lid has a gap to allow the included spatula to slide underneath and rest on the handle, but this opening allows steam to escape.
Even when you remove the spatula and fully close the lid, steam still leaks and directly hits the handle, making it hot and wet.
With most pans, you can slightly offset the lid to direct steam away from the handle, but the Titanium Always Pan Pro’s lid design makes this impossible. Additionally, the lid feels thin and fragile compared to other pans in its price range.
Difference 8: Heat Conduction and Retention
To compare the heat conduction and retention properties of the two Our Place Always Pans and HexClad, I conducted the same two tests I perform on every cookware brand I review.
For the first test, which measures heat conduction (how fast and evenly the pan heats), I poured two cups of cold (55°F) water into each pan and placed them on the stove on high heat.
The water in the HexClad pan started bubbling after one minute and 40 seconds and reached a full boil after two minutes and 30 seconds.
The two Our Place Always Pans heated slightly slower than the HexClad pan. The water began to boil in the Titanium Always Pan Pro after two minutes and 41 seconds, while in the regular Always Pan, it took two and 48 seconds to reach the boiling point.
Both pans had uniform bubbles across the cooking surface, indicating even heat distribution.
Here’s how both pans stack up against the broader cookware industry:
| Pan | Time to First Bubbles | Time to Boil |
|---|---|---|
| Farberware | 1 minute and 2 seconds | 1 minute and 29 seconds |
| All-Clad G5 fry pan | 1 minute and 17 seconds | 2 minutes and 4 seconds |
| All-Clad Copper Core fry pan | 1 minute and 21 seconds | 2 minutes and 18 seconds |

| Demeyere Atlantis fry pan | 2 minutes and 11 seconds | 3 minutes and 25 seconds |
| Xtrema fry pan | 3 minutes and 41 seconds | 6 minutes and 7 seconds |
For the second test, which measures heat retention (how well the pan maintains heat), I removed the pans from the heat as soon as the water began boiling and set them aside to cool.
To compare their heat retention capabilities, I measured the water temperature in both pans at the five and 10-minute marks.
After five minutes, the water in the HexClad pan was 120.7°F, the Titanium Always Pan Pro’s water was 119.3°F, and the regular Always Pan’s water was 118.0°F.
After ten minutes, the water in the HexClad pan cooled to 102.4°F, the Titanium Always Pan Pro water cooled to 100.4°F, and the regular Always Pan water was 96.7°F.
Here are the full results from all the brands I’ve reviewed:
| Pan | Temperature After 5 Minutes | Temperature After 10 Minutes |
|---|---|---|
| Xtrema fry pan | 142°F | 113°F |
| Made In stainless steel fry pan | 121.1°F | 106.6°F |
| Demeyere Atlantis fry pan | 122.0°F | 106.3°F |

| Gotham Steel fry pan | 113.0°F | 95.0°F |
| Anolon Advanced fry pan | 112.7°F | 90.9°F |
| Pioneer Woman fry pan | 104.3°F | 90.9°F |
| T-fal fry pan | 108.7°F | 88.0°F |
These results suggest that the HexClad pan has slightly better heat conduction and retention properties than both Our Place Always Pans. However, both pans fall within the average range compared to other cookware brands in the industry.
Difference 9: Oven-Safe Temperature
HexClad cookware is oven-safe up to 500°F.
The original Always Pan that hit the market in 2019 was not oven-safe at all. However, Our Place addressed this limitation with the launch of the Always Pan 2.0 in April 2023. This updated version features steel handles and is oven-safe up to 450°F.
Our Place also offers an enameled cast iron version of the Always Pan, which is oven-safe up to 500°F without the lid.
The Titanium Always Pan Pro can handle the highest temperatures, up to 1000°F, due to its pure titanium cooking surface.
Difference 10: Cleaning
Our Place clearly states that the Always Pan is not dishwasher safe and recommends hand washing the pan once it has fully cooled. However, the Titanium Always Pan Pro is dishwasher safe.
HexClad advertises its pans as dishwasher safe on its product pages. However, the help documentation on its website provides a different recommendation: “While our cookware is dishwasher safe, we recommend hand washing with a sponge and hot, soapy water to protect the longevity of our products.”
They further explain that using a dishwasher may leave pots and pans looking dull or black over time, and phosphate-free detergents can etch or pockmark the surface of the metal.
Regardless of what each brand says, I always recommend hand washing any cookware with a coating to preserve the coating’s integrity and extend the product’s lifespan.
Difference 11: Metal Utensils
The Our Place Always Pan is not metal utensil safe. Hard utensils like metal spatulas or tongs can easily scratch and damage the delicate ceramic surface. The Titanium Always Pan Pro’s pure titanium surface is incredibly hard and resistant to damage from metal utensils. It’s designed to handle metal utensils without issue.
HexClad’s unique hybrid cooking surface, which features raised stainless steel hexagons protecting the non-stick coating below, makes it one of the few non-stick pans that is metal utensil safe.
The steel peaks act as a barrier, preventing metal utensils from directly contacting and potentially damaging the non-stick valleys.
Difference 12: Price
HexClad is generally about 5-10% more expensive than the Our Place Always Pan, but it’s about 15% cheaper than the Titanium Always Pan Pro.
It’s important to note that both brands are expensive within their respective categories.
Our Place’s Always Pan is priced significantly higher than most ceramic non-stick brands (ex., GreenPan and GreenLife). This premium pricing is primarily due to the pan’s included accessories, such as the steamer basket and wooden spatula, and the company’s claims that the pan can “do it all.”
Similarly, HexClad is the most expensive hybrid cookware available. You can get pans with similar materials for significantly less; Henckels Hexagon and Cooksy are two examples.

Bottom Line: Should You Buy HexClad, Our Place Always Pan, or Titanium Always Pan Pro?
If you want proven durability and performance, HexClad is the best overall choice. Its thoughtful design enables great searing, food release, and long-lasting non-stick properties.
The original Always Pan is overpriced for what you get: a ceramic non-stick sauté pan with an aluminum body and some extras. The non-stick coating doesn’t last, so it’s not worth the premium price.
The Titanium Always Pan Pro is a good choice if you want to avoid traditional non-stick coatings but don’t want to deal with seasoning carbon steel or cast iron. Its titanium surface provides non-stick convenience and unmatched durability. However, the high price, uncomfortable handle, and poorly designed lid are drawbacks to consider.
Ultimately, HexClad outperforms both Our Place pans. But, if you want to ditch the coatings and are willing to pay for lasting non-stick performance, the Titanium Always Pan Pro is a solid new contender.
