Our verdict on each
Lodge
Lodge suits cooks who want heavy pans and portable grills that are built to last, backed by a lifetime warranty. The trade-off is upkeep and range: the pans are not dishwasher safe, the range stays in cast iron, enamelled cast iron and carbon steel, and an entry piece costs $9.90.
Our Place
Our Place suits shoppers buying a small number of premium pieces rather than outfitting a whole kitchen, and it prices accordingly. Cookware starts at $24.99, returns run 100 days, and support reaches you through email and help centre.

Pros and cons
Lodge
Pros
- A lifetime warranty puts Lodge at 1 of 38 brands, well above the cookware median of 10 years.
- An entry piece costs $9.90, placing Lodge at 4 of 60 brands tracked on price from.
- Materials run to cast iron, enamelled cast iron and carbon steel, and the portable grills run on charcoal and wood, so one maker covers the hob and the campfire.
Cons
- Dishwasher safe is no, so hand washing is compulsory, while 88.5% of cookware brands do allow the machine.
- Support runs on email, phone and help centre, without live chat, a channel 32.6% of the wider market offers.
- Entry pricing lands at 4 of 60 brands tracked on price from, on a starting point of $9.90.
Our Place
Pros
- Cookware covers stainless, enamelled cast iron, carbon steel and ceramic nonstick in stainless, enamelled cast iron and carbon steel, so one range holds several kitchens.
- The range is induction ready and oven safe to 538 °C, which widens the hob and oven combinations a pan can handle.
- Returns run 100 days, well above the 30 day median across ranked cookware brands.
Cons
- Warranty length varies widely, running 1 year to lifetime, so check the term attached to the specific piece rather than assuming a single cover.
- Support runs through email and help centre, which leaves questions that need a conversation on the phone to a written reply.
- Portable is listed as no, so griddles and grill pans are fixed pieces rather than anything you can carry outside.
Who each suits
Lodge
Who it suits
- Cooks who want a single lifetime warranty behind pans they intend to keep for years.
- Households buying in at $9.90 who will season and hand wash rather than rely on a machine.
- Camp and holiday cooks taking advantage of portable grills that run on charcoal and wood.
Who should look elsewhere
- Anyone after dishwasher-safe nonstick cookware, since dishwasher safe is no and the range stays inside cast iron, enamelled cast iron and carbon steel.
- Shoppers who want knives and drinkware in the same basket, since Knivesandtools lists cookware, knives and tableware while Lodge lists cookware and bakeware.
- Buyers who need live chat, as support runs on email, phone and help centre.
Our Place
Who it suits
- Home cooks replacing a single hero pan rather than building a full cookware set.
- Shoppers who want a single brand across cookware, knives, bakeware, tableware and drinkware, as product types show.
- Buyers in the US, Canada and the UK who prefer a long returns window over a low entry price.
Who should look elsewhere
- Cooks building a full kitchen on a tight budget, since entry pricing starts at $24.99.
- Anyone who needs portable grilling equipment, as portable is listed as no.
- Buyers who want phone support, since support runs through email and help centre.

Questions about each
Lodge
How much does Lodge cookware cost to start with?+
The cheapest piece costs $9.90, which places Lodge at 4 of 60 brands tracked on price from. The figure is a starting point for cast iron rather than a typical basket. Grills and enamelled pieces sit above it, so budget for the piece you actually want.
How long is the Lodge warranty?+
The stated term is lifetime, and Lodge sits at 1 of 38 brands on that measure. The cookware ranking median is 10 years, so the gap to the field is wide. Cast iron of this type is built to be re-seasoned rather than replaced.
Our Place
How much does Our Place cost at entry?+
Knives start at $24.99, and the same figure is the floor for the wider range, so entry points sit well below the spend a full cookware set requires. Cookware materials include stainless, enamelled cast iron and carbon steel, which is where prices spread out most. Returns run 100 days, so an entry purchase is easy to try.
What is the returns window?+
Returns run 100 days, which is longer than the 30 day median across brands ranked in cookware. That gives a buyer real time to cook with a pan before deciding to keep it. The same figure applies across the range rather than to selected lines.
