It's no surprise that PS editors love Our Place's cookware and kitchen essentials. We reviewed several of their cookware essentials, including the upgraded Always Pan 2.0 and the cast iron version of the Always Pan for all your searing needs. And it's not just us, Selena Gomez loves the cookware brand too — she even designed her own collection in custom colors. Our Place is known for streamlining our kitchen cabinets and making cookware that's multifunctional and actually cute, which is very useful for those of us who live in apartments and have limited counter space. That's why when the brand came out with its first-ever kitchen appliance we had to test it out.
Our Place's Wonder Oven is a six-in-one countertop kitchen appliance that lets you bake, air fry, roast, toast, broil and reheat. It's basically a convection oven, a toaster, and an air fryer. What makes this multifunctional countertop oven stand out from the rest? The brand integrated a steam infusion function that lets you add one to two teaspoons of water to refresh and add back some moisture into your dishes. It can help make stale bread taste fresh again, soften croissants and cookies, or ensure leftover wings or steaks don't come out overly dry.
The stylish Wonder Oven is controlled by three dials: one for a 200°– 450°F heating range, one for the type of cooking, and one to turn on and set the cook time. It comes with an air fryer basket, a wire rack, a baking pan, and a crumb tray. Although it may look pretty small with an 11 x 11 frame, the Wonder Oven has a 12-liter capacity and can fit a whole 4.5 pound chicken, and you can also cook two things at once with its multilevel design. It's available in the brand's core colors, including char, steam, spice, and blue salt, and a limited edition lavender shade. Plus, the Wonder Oven comes with a 100 day trial and a one year warranty.
If you want to see Our Place's first-ever kitchen appliance in action, two of our editors tested it out in their kitchens and shared their honest reviews. Keep reading to see the photos and how we ended up using the Wonder Oven.

For Versatile Cooking
Our Place Wonder Oven in Char ($195)
"When I first saw the three-dial controls for this multifunctional oven, I was skeptical. I was so used to seeing digitized options that can truly do it all, but when I actually put the Wonder Oven to the test, I was pleasantly surprised. From fresh cookies to roasted broccolini, there is truly so much you can do in this countertop oven in such an efficient manner. The steam infusion feature is what truly made a world of a difference for my dishes. I'm able to achieve that perfect balance of crisp and soft, which has been so useful for reheating leftovers and baking an assortment of sweet treats.
Besides baking, the air frying and roasting functions were probably the ones I used the most, and each and every time I wanted anything crispy or sauteéd, the Wonder Oven delivered with the ideal texture. It's super easy to clean and maintain as well, and looks so pretty displayed on my kitchen countertop. This is definitely an ideal kitchen appliance for those in small spaces feeding one to two people." — Anvita Reddy, assistant editor, Commerce

For Small-Space Living
Our Place Wonder Oven in Steam ($195)
"I moved into a new apartment late last year, and buying an air fryer has been on my "to do" list forever. However, I have limited storage in my new spot, so I needed something that looked cute enough to live on my kitchen counter full-time, but wasn't huge and overbearing. I scoured the internet looking for the perfect option, but it wasn't until I found the Our Place Wonder Oven that I knew I had found a winner. Like all of Our Place's products, it's chic and aesthetically pleasing, but it also works wonders. It comes with a bunch of accessories that make cooking easy AF, and the nonstick surfaces make them super easy to clean — which is necessary since my apartment lacks a dishwasher. It preheats in five minutes flat, and it's essentially taken the place of my oven and my toaster (the latter which now lives in a drawer that I seldom open)." — Renee Rodriguez, staff writer and social producer
