The 6-in-1 Our Place Air Fryer Review: Is it Worth the Hype?

Let’s be honest — I’m a minimalist, and kitchen counter space is sacred territory. So I really have to like something to keep it out, and it has to have everyday utility. So when Our Place (yes, the folks behind that ubiquitous Always Pan) launched their Large Wonder Oven with the promise of the same six cooking functions as the original size — plus family-sized capacity — I was intrigued. In this Our Place air fryer review, I’ll uncover if it’s worth it.

Could this adorable kitchen appliance that looks like it would slot right into your childhood dollhouse deliver on its promises? And more importantly for our Organic Authority community, does it align with our values for cleaner, non-toxic, PFAS-free cooking? After all, the air fryer market is rife with products lined with the ugly PFAS (also known as forever chemicals) that we’re always trying to stay away from. Would this Our Place air fryer be any different?I’ve tested a ton of non-toxic cookware and kitchen appliances, and this self-proclaimed Wonder Oven got the same treatment.

I spent weeks testing this multi-functional marvel for this Our Place Wonder Oven review — air-frying everything from sweet potato fries to cauliflower, baking loaves of banana bread, reheating day-old pizza, and even roasting a whole chicken. The results? Here’s my unfiltered take on whether this Large Wonder Oven deserves a coveted spot in your kitchen.

What Is the Our Place Wonder Oven?

Although Our Place is best known for its ceramic cookware line (specifically the Always Pan and Perfect Pot set, which I tested and reviewed here), they’ve also found success applying their multifunctional roots to appliances. The Large Wonder Oven is a 6-in-1 countertop appliance that combines an air fryer, toaster, and convection oven into a single, beautifully designed unit — ideally saving you time and money on unnecessary kitchen gadgets that just clutter up your space.  

But I’ve been let down in the past with these types of multitaskers, which often don’t live up to the hype. That isn’t the case here — somehow Our Place has managed to combine quality, simple functionality, and beautiful aesthetics. You never have to put it away when you have guests over, and more importantly, it really works. 

This cute-but-mighty countertop wonder is essentially an air fryer on steroids. At 32 quarts, it’s designed to handle everything from crispy air-fried Brussels sprouts to perfectly toasted sourdough, with a neat steam function that helps keep food from drying out (a common complaint with other air fryers!). 

Here’s what you get in this cute cube:

• Six cooking functions: Air fry, bake, roast, toast, broil, and reheat
• Roomy capacity: 32-quart capacity that fits a 4.5 lb chicken with vegetables, 12″ pizza,  6 slices of toast per wire rack (depending on how big the slices are), 12 cookies per Bake Pan, and multiple dishes at once
• Three cooking levels: With adjustable rack positions for maximum versatility 
• Speed demon preheating: Ready to cook in about 3.5 minutes
• Versatile temperature range: 200°F to 450°F
• Non-toxic peace of mind: Stainless and chromed steel, plus ceramic-coated accessories without the nasty PFAS chemicals

Instagram-worthy color options: Steam (off-white), Char (charcoal black), Blue Salt (blue), and Spice (orange/red)

Why the Wonder Oven Stands Out: Key Features and Specifications

Let’s cut to the chase — there are tons of oven and air fryer combos crowding the market these days. So what makes the Wonder Oven special enough to warrant both your limited counter space AND your hard-earned cash? A few things, actually.

Groundbreaking Steam Infusion

First off, the steam infusion feature is a genuine game changer. Most air fryers and microwaves are notorious for drying out food — think reheated pizza that could double as cardboard. 

The Wonder Oven solves this with a clever little steam inlet. Add 4-6 teaspoons of water and suddenly your leftover pizza crusts are revitalized, your roasted chicken stays juicy, and your bread gets that professional bakery-quality texture. It’s like having a mini professional steam oven without the price tag (seriously, they’re expensive).

Super Speed

Then there’s the speed factor. In a world where we’re all pressed for time (and paying attention to those rising energy bills), the Wonder Oven preheats 75% faster and cooks about 25-30% quicker than your traditional oven. We’re talking ready-to-cook in about 3.5 minutes — less time than it takes to navigate through a Netflix scroll hole to find something to watch while you eat.

For busy weeknights or a quick avocado toast or cinnamon apple toast for breakfast, this time-saving aspect isn’t just a marketing point — it feels genuinely valuable.

Spacious and Consistent

The generous multi-level cooking in this oven means you can really cook a whole dinner in this handy cube — it’s much bigger on the inside than you’d guess by looking at the outside. I air fried honey mustard-glazed salmon and cauliflower tossed in extra virgin olive oil as a complete weeknight dinner, and they came out great. The size makes it ideal for families, batch-cooking enthusiasts, and regular dinner party hosts.

Other Standout Features

• 360° air circulation system for even cooking and that coveted crispy exterior without deep-frying
• High-quality construction with chrome, stainless steel, and non-toxic coatings (more on that below!)
• Thoughtful footprint that maximizes cooking space while minimizing counter real estate

Specs:

• The Large Wonder Oven: 17.5 lbs, 32 qt capacity, 13’’ tall x 16.7’’ wide, 13.25’’ deep, 200°-450°F range, 60-minute timer
• Wire Rack: 13.9″ x 11.9″ chromed steel for all-purpose cooking
• Bake Pan: 13.9″ x 11.9″ aluminum with ceramic nonstick coating (PFAS-free!)
• Air Fryer Basket: 13.9″ x 11.9″ chromed steel for maximum air circulation
• Crumb Tray: 13.9″ x 12″ stainless steel for easy cleanup

The Non-Toxic Factor: Materials and Safety

Another reason I’ve been loving the Wonder Oven is its thoughtful choice of materials. Our Place has taken a refreshingly responsible approach in the design of both the appliance and its accompanying accessories. 

It’s PFAS-Free (No Pesky Forever Chemicals Here!)

Unlike many air fryers on the market, the Wonder Oven’s interior surfaces are stainless steel, which is inherently clean (even at high temperatures!). 

This also makes it more durable. Most air fryers are coated with toxic nonstick PFAS chemicals that can flake into your food and offgas at temperatures over 500 degrees Fahrenheit. (To learn more about what PFAS ‘forever chemicals’ are, check out our guide to everything you need to know about PFAS.)

The bake pan also features their proprietary ceramic nonstick coating, which is entirely free from PFAS, including PFOAs, and PTFE. And they’re compliant with CA AB1200, with full disclosures about chemicals used in their cookware.  

Chrome Steel Accessories

The chromed steel wire rack and air fryer basket are also solid choices from a safety perspective. They don’t use coatings that can chip or flake off into your food, and they’re durable enough to withstand thousands of cooking cycles.

Performance as an Air Fryer Oven

Marketing claims are one thing — actual kitchen performance is another. Here’s my experience. 

Air Frying (The Superstar Function)

Let’s start with its star feature — how well does it air fry? The Wonder Oven’s 360-degree air circulation system creates that coveted crispy exterior while maintaining moisture inside. 

My sweet potato fries came out deliciously crispy on the outside with a pillow-y soft interior. I’ve read other reviews where they complain their food doesn’t crisp up. But getting something crispy isn’t just about the tool you use, it’s about the cooking technique you execute. If you want to know exactly how I get my air fries crispy with the Large Wonder Oven, leave a comment below! 

And the steam function paired with the air frying function? It works! I tried it with my air fried cauliflower and it developed a flavorful caramelized golden brown layer with a fork-tender interior — plus it cooked in about ¾ of the time it takes in my traditional oven. 

Baking

The Large Wonder Oven handles baking surprisingly well. I made banana bread that rose beautifully with an even golden crust. Cookies developed that ideal contrast with crisp edges and chewy centers. This is another great place to use the steam infusion function — it keeps baked goods from drying out, which is often a problem with convection cooking.

I did notice that baking times needed to be adjusted slightly from standard recipes (by roughly 15%-20%) because the Wonder Oven heats so efficiently in its chamber. This definitely isn’t a downside, just something to be aware of so you don’t overdo your baked goods!

Roasting

This is where the steam function truly earns its keep. I roasted a small 3-pound chicken that stayed remarkably juicy while developing beautifully crisp skin with the air fryer function. Vegetables also caramelized nicely while staying tender on the inside. 

Reheating 

I loved this function on the Our Place Wonder Oven. Seriously, if you only used this appliance to reheat leftovers, it might still be a worthy investment. The combination of convection heating and steam infusion breathes new life into foods that would otherwise become sad shadows of their former selves.

I was shocked at how well a day-old pizza came back to life, with a crisp yet tender crust and melty cheese. The microwave can’t come close to touching this. Leftover roasted vegetables regained their life, boasting distinct caramelized flavors without any sogginess. 

Toasting & Broiling

The toasting function works well, though it takes a few tries to find your preferred setting. The Wonder Oven can handle up to six slices of toast per wire rack at once (depending on how large your slices are), and they come out with relatively even browning. 

The broil function is ideal for finishing dishes with a golden crusty top, and bonus points for getting cheese perfectly melty and slightly browned. I used it to finish a small vegetable gratin with fantastic results.

Design and Build Quality

Most air fryers look like they belong in a sci-fi movie, not a beautiful kitchen. They’re typically bulky, black plasticky eyesores that get hidden away in your cabinets when not in use. The Our Place Wonder Oven takes a dramatically different approach to preserve your ideal curated kitchen aesthetic.

True to Our Place’s design-forward ethos, this Large Wonder Oven appliance scaled up beautifully from its original size. With its soft lines, rounded edges, matte finish, and sophisticated color options, it feels more like a deliberate design statement than a utilitarian appliance. 

The Construction

Good looks would mean nothing without solid construction — and thankfully, the Wonder Oven doesn’t disappoint. The stainless steel body feels substantial, no flimsy black plastic shell here. The glass door opens and closes with a satisfying smoothness, but you won’t have to do it often — the interior light illuminates your food so you can easily check on your homemade air fries without losing heat.

The interior of this appliance is equally well-considered. Multiple rack positions allow you to configure the space for whatever you’re cooking, whether that’s baking a couple of trays of cookies or an entire chicken with veggies. The stainless steel interior reflects the light, helps distribute heat evenly, and makes cleanup less of a chore. 

Another small but meaningful touch: all the included accessories fit perfectly in their intended positions. The bake pan slides in and out effortlessly on the guides, and the air fryer basket sits securely without wobbling. And if you happen to have an extra stainless steel 13×9” bake pan lying around (here are some of our favorite non-toxic bakeware options!), it will fit nicely in the Large Wonder Oven — which is an advantage over the original size. 

Safety Precautions

The only real design drawback of the Wonder Oven is common to most countertop ovens: the exterior does get warm during use. It’s never dangerously hot, but you’ll want to ensure space for ventilation and adequate clearance around all sides. This isn’t a knock against the Wonder Oven specifically — it’s just physics at work when you have a heating element in a compact space.

Ease of Use and Cleaning

One of the biggest takeaways I want to convey in this Our Place air fryer review is that the Wonder Oven was clearly built with everyday use in mind. From its analog controls to its easy-to-clean design, it avoids the pitfalls of overly complicated digital appliances that can easily break, while still offering all the core functions you need. 

The Analog Controls 

Initially I was surprised by the Wonder Oven’s analog controls, which seemed like they could be a downgrade in our digital age. But after using the oven for a bit, I realized the simplicity is a huge plus — the analog system actually is a refreshing return to intuitive cooking. You don’t need to have tech skills or read a manual on pre-programmed presets, which can take a lot of fun out of cooking. 

With the Wonder Oven, there’s no need to scroll through menus or decipher cryptic display codes — simply turn the knobs to your desired settings and get cooking.

Cleaning

Cleaning is straightforward with the Wonder Oven, though it does require hand washing. The interior wipes down quickly, especially if you attend to spills promptly. The stainless steel walls don’t have many crevices where food can get stuck, making maintenance pretty painless.

The nonstick ceramic coating on the bake pan works remarkably well, often requiring just a quick rinse and wipe down after use. For example, I cooked a chicken with the air fryer function, and the efficient heat rapidly browned the juices on the bake pan. It cleaned up easily with a short soak with mild soap and water, followed by a light nudge with a wooden utensil (or another non-toxic utensil option) to easily lift the stuck-on mess. 

The air fryer basket and wire rack may need a bit more attention for stuck-on foods, but they also generally clean up easily with a little scrub brush action.

The Crumb Tray

The crumb tray is a standout feature for maintenance, catching most debris and sliding out completely for easy emptying and hand washing. This prevents the build-up of crumbs that often burn and smoke in other toaster ovens.

Value for Money

One of the strongest arguments for the Large Wonder Oven is how many appliances it replaces.

With six core functions in a compact form, it offers big savings — in cost, kitchen space, and time spent researching and shopping — compared to buying each appliance separately.

Here’s a quick breakdown to understand the scope of the potential cost savings. 

Standalone Appliance Costs:

• Large-capacity air fryer: $100-$349+
• Toaster or countertop oven: $60-$150+
• Convection oven (fits 9×13 pan): $259+

Combined Cost Estimate: $419 to $500+ for all three appliances

• Wonder Oven Price: $245 at time of publish

Savings: Potential savings of $65–$235

Energy Efficiency

The Wonder Oven also delivers good value through its energy efficiency. Its smaller size and faster cooking times mean it uses significantly less electricity than heating up a full-sized oven for small meals — a benefit that adds up over time in both environmental impact and utility bills.

Comparison with Other Air Fryer Toaster Ovens

To understand the value of the Our Place Wonder Oven, it helps to compare it directly with other countertop appliances and air fryer toaster ovens. While many models offer similar functions, the Large Wonder Oven sets itself apart with its design-forward aesthetic, its PFAS-free interior, its size-to-capacity ratio, and the unique steam infusion feature.

Here’s how the Large Wonder Oven compares to other popular models across a range of categories:

While competitors like the Breville and Instant Pot models may offer more preset functions, the Wonder Oven focuses on doing fewer things exceptionally well. It’s also a considerably more affordable mid-range option than premium models from Breville and KitchenAid, while offering better quality and aesthetics than budget options like Hamilton Beach (which also uses forever chemicals).

Pros and Cons of the Our Place Wonder Oven

The Wonder Oven reviews are in, and it’s a winner. After testing its features and comparing it with other air fryer toaster oven models, we’re huge fans of the Large Wonder Oven. It’s not just stylish — it performs, and it’s a great fit for many home cooks. Still, every appliance has its limitations. If you’re on the fence, here’s a list of pros and cons to help make your decision. 

Pros:

• Extra-large 32-quart capacity with 3 adjustable rack levels

• 360 degree air circulation delivers even cooking
• Comes with a 1-year warranty

Cons:

• Timer is limited to 60 minutes (true simplicity at its best!)
