Our Place Cast Iron Always Pan 10.5 In 8-in-1 Multifunctional Cookware
Lower PFAS concern; traditional cast iron with enamel is not a known PFAS-use category.
The Always Pan is cast iron with an enameled (vitreous enamel) cooking surface. Cast iron and traditional enamel coatings do not typically require PFAS for their function, unlike nonstick cookware. Our Place does not disclose PFAS status, but the material class itself carries lower inherent risk.

What we don’t know
This grade is a model-based estimate from public materials, coatings, and brand disclosure at 82% confidence. It is not a lab result.
No independent PFAS lab test is on record for this exact product. A lab test could move the score in either direction.
The brand has not made a specific, verifiable PFAS-free statement, so part of this score reflects that missing disclosure rather than a confirmed material.
Formulations and coatings change between production runs. Always check the current label before buying.
