Our Place has built a cult following by making the everyday objects in our kitchens considerably more beautiful. It has also become a celebrity favourite, with Selena Gomez among the brand’s most famous fans, she loved the cookware enough to collaborate with Our Place on her own collection of Always Pans and Perfect Pots.
Now, the brand is turning its attention to the appliance that increasingly does most of the heavy lifting in modern kitchens.
The new Our Place Wonder Oven Pro has officially arrived in the UK, and it is bigger, faster and considerably more capable than the original. Priced at £295, the family-sized countertop oven combines eight cooking functions with a generous 30-litre capacity, three rack positions and Our Place’s clever steam-infusion technology. In other words, it is designed to handle everything from hurried weekday breakfasts to a full Sunday roast.
And, naturally, it looks rather good doing it.
What Is the Our Place Wonder Oven Pro?
The Wonder Oven Pro is essentially an air fryer, countertop oven, toaster and mini baking oven rolled into one beautifully designed appliance.
Its eight modes cover Air Fry, Bake, Roast, Toast, Grill, Reheat, Proof and Dehydrate, while three separate rack positions allow several elements of a meal to cook simultaneously. Our Place says there is enough room for a whole chicken with space for the Yorkshire puddings too — a useful benchmark for anyone wondering whether a countertop oven could genuinely replace their conventional oven for everyday meals.
At 30 litres, this is very much the grown-up sibling of the original Wonder Oven. That additional capacity is important because it moves the appliance beyond reheating leftovers or making chips and into proper family cooking.
Fresh sourdough, crispy roast potatoes, morning toast, baked dishes and Sunday lunch are all within its remit.
Why Use It Instead of a Normal Oven?
The appeal becomes clearer when you consider how often switching on a full-sized oven feels excessive.
For smaller meals, reheating food or quickly roasting something for dinner, the Wonder Oven Pro’s compact cavity can get to work significantly faster. Our Place says it preheats 60 per cent faster and cooks food up to 40 per cent faster than a traditional oven, based on its testing of preheat and poultry-cooking times at 190°C.
It also gives you the crispness associated with an air fryer without requiring another separate appliance on the worktop.
Quartz and stainless-steel heating elements work alongside an optimised convection fan to circulate heat efficiently and encourage an even, golden finish. Precise digital temperature and time controls also make this Pro version feel much more substantial than the sort of mini oven traditionally associated with student kitchens and spare rooms.
The Clever Steam Function
Perhaps its most interesting feature is steam infusion.
The technology adds moisture while food cooks or reheats, helping to create a crisp exterior without drying out the centre. That makes it particularly appealing for food that rarely survives reheating gracefully: bread, pizza, roast vegetables and yesterday’s leftovers.
According to Our Place, the intention is to keep food tender inside while restoring texture outside, rather than simply blasting it with dry heat.
It also adds another dimension for bakers. Alongside the standard cooking modes, Proof provides an environment for dough before baking, while Dehydrate gives the appliance yet another use beyond conventional roasting and air frying.
For anyone who enjoys making sourdough but would rather not heat an entire oven for every loaf, that combination could prove particularly useful.
PFAS-Free Cooking
Our Place has also continued the materials philosophy that helped establish its cookware.
The Wonder Oven Pro’s interior and all food-contact accessories are made without PFAS, including PTFE and PFOA, often collectively referred to as “forever chemicals”. The appliance uses quartz and stainless-steel heating elements, while its accompanying basket, pans and racks follow the same considered approach.
For shoppers already drawn to Our Place for its non-toxic cookware, that will be one of the more persuasive aspects of the launch.
A Celebrity-Favourite Kitchen Brand
Our Place’s appeal has always extended beyond function.
Its original Always Pan became one of those rare pieces of cookware recognisable on sight, helped by its soft colour palette and deliberately display-worthy design. Selena Gomez became one of the brand’s most prominent fans, later collaborating with Our Place on a limited-edition collection in vivid Azul blue and Rosa pink.
That marriage of aesthetics and practicality continues here.
Rather than hiding the Wonder Oven Pro in a cupboard after every use — which, at this size, would be impractical anyway — it has clearly been designed to live permanently on display.
It launches in three of Our Place’s signature colours, giving an appliance category usually dominated by anonymous black plastic and stainless steel something rather more decorative.
Designed for Real Life
“We’ve always believed that the things you use every day can be both beautiful and incredibly useful,” says Our Place co-founder Shiza Shahid.
She explains that the popularity of the original Wonder Oven showed the brand how readily a compact oven could become part of people’s everyday routines, prompting the company to create a larger version with “more room, more control, and more ways to cook”.
That may ultimately be where the Wonder Oven Pro makes the most sense. It is not intended to render a conventional oven obsolete. For Christmas dinner, enormous trays or serious batch cooking, the full-sized oven still has its place.
But for toast at breakfast, a quick dinner after work, roasting vegetables, crisping potatoes, reheating last night’s pizza, baking bread or cooking a chicken without warming an entire kitchen, this is the appliance likely to get switched on first. And if an air fryer is going to earn permanent residency on the kitchen counter, it might as well look this good.
The Our Place Wonder Oven Pro is available now for £295 from Our Place, Selfridges, Harrods, Fenwick and selected retail partners. It includes an air fryer basket, bake pan, wire racks and crumb tray, alongside a one-year guarantee and 100-day trial period.
