<p>The Instagrammable cookware brand’s latest tagine is its most interesting release in years, and it benefits the Middle East Children’s Alliance in Gaza</p> <p id="id5ZUW">When <a href="https://go.redirectingat.com?id=66960X1516589&xs=1&url=https%3A%2F%2Ffromourplace.com%2F&referrer=eater.com&sref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.eater.com%2F2025%2F3%2F13%2F24385183%2Four-place-tagine-palestine-gaza" rel="sponsored nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Our Place</a> debuted the <a href="https://go.redirectingat.com?id=66960X1516589&xs=1&url=https%3A%2F%2Ffromourplace.com%2Fproducts%2Falways-essential-cooking-pan%3F&referrer=eater.com&sref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.eater.com%2F2025%2F3%2F13%2F24385183%2Four-place-tagine-palestine-gaza" rel="sponsored nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Always Pan</a> in 2019, it not only sparked a wave of interest in Instagrammable- cookware brands, but kicked off the increasing speed at which its contemporaries — think <a href="https://www.eater.com/2024/10/31/24284711/great-jones-cookware-bundle-sale">Great Jones</a> and <a href="https://go.redirectingat.com?id=66960X1516589&xs=1&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.carawayhome.com%2F%3F&referrer=eater.com&sref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.eater.com%2F2025%2F3%2F13%2F24385183%2Four-place-tagine-palestine-gaza" rel="sponsored nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Caraway</a> — began whipping up product launches. But now that the aesthetic home goods space is more crowded, to stand out in 2025, brands have to think beyond just cool color choices, and have something to say that feels personal, or purpose-driven — which is exactly why Our Place’s latest cookware launch piqued my interest. </p>

<p id="nGoHVw">Tagines are traditional Moroccan cookware (named after the hearty dish — a <a href="https://www.eater.com/ad/22650802/cooking-tagine-chef-einat-admony-meal-delivery">flavorful stew</a> — created within them), and were introduced to Our Place’s product lineup in 2022 under its banner of “<a href="https://go.redirectingat.com?id=66960X1516589&xs=1&url=https%3A%2F%2Ffromourplace.com%2Fblogs%2Fyour-place%2Fall-about-the-tagine&referrer=eater.com&sref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.eater.com%2F2025%2F3%2F13%2F24385183%2Four-place-tagine-palestine-gaza" rel="sponsored nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Traditionware</a>.” The latest Olive & Clay edition, however, is part of a limited-edition drop that was also designed to provide emergency assistance to Palestinians in Gaza. Explaining the late-February launch, the brand says that the “piece pays tribute to centuries-old Moroccan cooking traditions while celebrating Palestinian heritage — just in time for <a href="https://austin.eater.com/23774376/eid-al-adha-austin-restaurants-islam-muslim-holiday-feast-of-sacrifice?_gl=1*1iqa4a2*_ga*MTgyNTA2OTU3OC4xNzI4MDY2NTQ3*_ga_GMSWCRTSTY*MTc0MTg4MzI4OS40MTcuMS4xNzQxODg0OTkxLjU1LjAuMA..">Eid</a>,” and 100 percent of the profits will go to the <a href="https://www.mecaforpeace.org/">Middle East Children’s Alliance</a> to deliver aid in Gaza. </p>
<p id="CAnZ3R">Designer Nina Mohammed is the creative director of the Moroccan-based textile sourcing studio <a href="https://www.artisanprojectinc.com/">Artisan Project</a>, and she chose the olive leaf motif to pay homage to her grandmother, Fatima, “who planted thousands of olive trees in Palestine as a symbol of resilience and peace,” while the clay composition is a nod to the slow cooker’s traditional material construction. The tagine is designed to work specifically with the brand’s popular <a href="https://go.redirectingat.com?id=66960X1516589&xs=1&url=https%3A%2F%2Ffromourplace.com%2Fproducts%2Falways-essential-cooking-pan%3F&referrer=eater.com&sref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.eater.com%2F2025%2F3%2F13%2F24385183%2Four-place-tagine-palestine-gaza" rel="sponsored nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Always Pan</a> (smart), although you could pair it with any comparable oven-proof cookware that accommodates its 10.9-inch diameter. Our Place’s tagine also requires no pre-seasoning, making it a solid piece for tagine beginners.

<p id="KSLf8s">While the Always Pan remains the brand’s marquee product, the brand has also come out with a formidable parade of aesthetic cookware and appliances, including a sexy new Always Pan (<a href="https://go.redirectingat.com?id=66960X1516589&xs=1&url=https%3A%2F%2Ffromourplace.com%2Fproducts%2Ftitanium-always-pan-pro%3Fvariant%3D44971577901250&referrer=eater.com&sref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.eater.com%2F2025%2F3%2F13%2F24385183%2Four-place-tagine-palestine-gaza" rel="sponsored nofollow noopener" target="_blank">it’s titanium</a>), and a <a href="https://go.redirectingat.com?id=66960X1516589&xs=1&url=https%3A%2F%2Ffromourplace.com%2Fproducts%2Fdream-cooker%3F&referrer=eater.com&sref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.eater.com%2F2025%2F3%2F13%2F24385183%2Four-place-tagine-palestine-gaza" rel="sponsored nofollow noopener" target="_blank">slow cooker</a> and <a href="https://go.redirectingat.com?id=66960X1516589&xs=1&url=https%3A%2F%2Ffromourplace.com%2Fproducts%2Fwonder-oven%3F&referrer=eater.com&sref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.eater.com%2F2025%2F3%2F13%2F24385183%2Four-place-tagine-palestine-gaza" rel="sponsored nofollow noopener" target="_blank">toaster oven</a> that deserve to be anthropomorphized in a Pixar movie. </p>
<p id="l8Vcjs">I would love to see even more of the brand’s heritage-driven pieces in the future, and it is refreshing to see the company amp up its commitment to building a product range that directly speaks to, <em>and</em> benefits, the communities from whence they came. Our Place’s co-founder Shiza Shahid <a href="https://www.eater.com/24099668/modern-cookware-brands-made-in-amrikan-masienda-comal-our-place">spoke to Eater</a> about that decision last spring, telling Bettina Makalintal, “You have to be specific, because if you’re trying to speak to everyone, then no one will feel like it’s for them. But if you are specific, then other people will see their own cultures in it.” That’s an ethos that sticks out a whole lot more than anything on my Explore page. </p>
