Our Place Perfect Pot Review: Is It Really Perfect?

When I first come into contact with Our Place products, I am always pleasantly surprised. Whether it is product packaging or product color, it always makes people feel happy. I admit that I am more attracted by its design and color. It always makes me eager to cook with it. I’ve already done a detailed review of the Always Pan, and this time we put the Perfect Pot through a series of reviews because we were also curious about its features.

I think everyone needs to have a Dutch oven in their home, whether it’s for sautéing or stewing, or even one that can be put in the oven. It can fully meet the daily multi-purpose needs. So when I saw that Our Place also launched a Dutch oven, I was excited because I have already reviewed Le creuset and Staub. If you are also curious about it, then read on.

This enamel pot continues Our Place’s rounded appearance design and low-saturation color, making the overall look comfortable. Its shape is compatible with any style, and other colors are available. To be honest, I prefer the matte Perfect Pot, but the glossy material is easier to clean, especially for cookware that is prone to oil stains, so cleaning issues need to be taken into consideration.

Accessories include a wooden spatula and a matching silicone potholder with a cute design. The inside of the pot lid has been specially designed. Unlike the inside of the ordinary round lid, the inside of this Dutch oven is covered with grooved dots. This allows the steam to better form into liquid,the moisture can be circulated internally, it will not dry out after long-term stewing, and the original flavor of the food can be retained.

Because of the material, it is relatively heavy overall, even heavier than Le Creuset’s baking pan. It is worth mentioning that among a series of well-named brands, the price of this Dutch oven is relatively low.

Let’s be honest, cooking in a Dutch oven can be physically demanding, especially when you need to pour the contents out of the pot or carry them to the table. The only disadvantage of this pot is that the handle will heat up when cooking at high temperatures. At this time, you need to use the silicone heat insulation pad that comes with it. This is very convenient when moving it.

I used it to make tomato stewed chicken. When frying the chicken wings, the overall temperature of the bottom of the pot was relatively even. The chicken wings placed on both sides of the pot were also fried very crispy. Moreover, it has a non-stick coating, so it is not There will be no sticking to the pan. When stewing with tomato juice, I put the lid on, which will cook faster, and the design of the pot allows water to circulate better inside, and the taste will be relatively rich.

I also used it to stir-fry broccoli. Because it was a cast iron pot, I added less seasoning. Except that the wooden spatula they provided was not used very much during the operation, everything went smoothly. I personally like to eat softer broccoli. Finally, I turn down the heat and cover the pot without adding water. The steam inside will automatically form water, so I don’t have to worry about the pot being burnt, and the taste can be reduced. Allow the broccoli to become softer while blanching.

Cleaning

Because there is an enamel coating on the inside, do not put it in the dishwasher. Hand washing is best. When cleaning, it is best to wait for the pot to cool down completely and use mild dish soap and warm water to clean. In order to protect the coating, it is best not to use cleaning products with relatively hard materials. Correct use and cleaning methods can make it last longer.

Price

It sells for $175, and now it’s on sale for an additional 23% off, making it only $135. Compared with other Dutch ovens, such as Le creuset and Staub, its price is very low, even less than half their price, but in terms of functionality, durability and scratch resistance are indeed not as good as them. , but in terms of cooking, there is no difference. If your budget is insufficient, you can consider this one.

Is it worth to buy?

This pot is overall excellent in terms of design and functionality. But it doesn’t give you the option to choose the size, so you need to consider your daily use needs. If you need to prepare meals for a large family on a daily basis, then the capacity of this pot can completely satisfy you. If you usually live alone, it may be too big for you. If you don’t have a lot of budget to buy Le creuset, this pot is your best choice in terms of appearance and price. However, it should be noted that daily maintenance and upkeep need to be careful.
