After 9 Months with Our Place’s Sleek Air Fryer, My Verdict Is In

Moving across the Pacific Ocean in December meant packing minimally and leaving the rest behind. It was time to start fresh with a new collection of kitchen appliances, and at the top of my shopping list was the Our Place Wonder Oven. 

I first learned about the brand through Oprah Winfrey — the matte aesthetic of her touted Always 2.0 Pan led me to explore the full range of Our Place cookware products, and the sleek air fryer instantly caught my eye. After testing it for nine months, I can honestly say that my full-size oven is beginning to collect dust. This multifunctional cooker that air fries, toasts, and bakes has streamlined my cooking routine.

Amazon has the Wonder Oven in four colors — and more than 1,000 shoppers just scooped it up before the holiday season.

What initially attracted me to the air fryer was its compact size. At just 11.6 pounds, it’s so easy to transport from our house to the truck camper for weekend getaways, and it barely takes up space on my countertop, which is a stark difference from the bulky air fryer I used to own. I was also looking for appliances that fit the minimalist vibe of my kitchen, and the matte beige coating of the steam color option makes the device as stylish as it is functional.

Despite its small size, it’s got all the powers of my stovetop oven (and more) since it can air fry, broil, bake, reheat, toast, and roast, creating tons of meal possibilities. The oven heats up to 450 degrees and claims to cook up to 30 percent faster than traditional ovens, which I’m inclined to believe after using it. Everything I make cooks quickly and thoroughly because of the 360-degree air circulation.

The oven comes with a nonstick baking pan and an air fryer basket. I typically use both when I cook — I place my food directly on the basket and put the sheet on the bottom to catch any crumbs or oil spills, which makes the cleanup process so much easier. The air fryer itself is easy to clean by pulling the trays out and wiping the inside with a wet cloth. 

My only knock against the device is that the baking tray has gotten stained with cooking remnants from repeated use, despite any cleaning efforts, so it doesn’t look as fresh as it did when I first got it. Still, it feels like a minor price to pay for knowing that the machine is made with non-toxic materials like stainless steel, chrome, glass, and ceramic.

Amazon shoppers are equally as excited about the countertop cooker. One shopper wrote that it’s “perfect for small apartments” or “ones that don’t have an oven.” Another person called it a time saver: “We find the air fryer basket fits just enough for our family and we haven’t had [a] need to cook multiple times for a single meal.”

“It heats up super quickly, unlike my oven and older air fryers, and also is very quiet,” someone else said, calling it a “must-have for your kitchen.”

The Our Place Wonder Oven has made cooking so much easier and less time-consuming for me — the sheer convenience of it makes it worth considering for any home chef, especially ahead of the holiday cooking season.
