The most unexpected cookware collaboration is here – it's the easiest way to bring summer's hottest shade back to your kitchen for fall

I know plenty of avid cooks who simply will not stray from their oldest and most cherished pots and pans, but every single one has been charmed by Our Place cookware. Whether you're drawn in by the stunning pastel shades, you love the contemporary flair, or you're simply on the hunt for the best non-toxic cookware, you've likely had the same experience – and I have a feeling that the new Our Place x Crocs butter yellow collection will be the latest launch to get chins wagging.

Yes, I'm talking cookware and Crocs, but stick with me: the exclusive collection taps into the huge butter yellow kitchen trend that we've been seeing everywhere lately. At the helm is chef Molly Baz, who has teamed up with Crocs to launch a limited edition Our Place drop, consisting of four pastel yellow pan sets plus the bestselling Wonder Oven in a matching shade – and (here's where the Crocs part comes in) a pair of customizable pan handle covers.

You'd be forgiven for feeling a little confused by this collaboration, but I think it's a brilliant move from a brand already beloved for its picture-perfect cookware. Here at Homes & Gardens, we're fans of the Our Place Wonder Oven for its blend of charm and versatility, and our Kitchen Appliances editor raves about the quality of the Our Place Titanium Always Pan – so we were more than a little intrigued to hear about this latest collection.

Even if you aren't well-acquainted with Our Place, you'll probably recognise the Always Pan thanks to its cult fan base on social media; it is, famously, some of Selena Gomez's favorite cookware. In the new collection, it's the Always Pan that's been given the butter yellow treatment, along with the Perfect Pot and both limited edition pieces form part of a Cookware Duo, which is priced at $239.95.

If you want to get your hands on a limited-edition Wonder Oven, meanwhile, the butter yellow version will set you back $185. I have no doubt that this one will fly off the shelves though. And if you fancy something a little more affordable, and compact, the Mini versions of both the Always Pan and the Perfect Pot are available as a Mini Cookware Duo, priced at $209.95.

While the pans might be the main event, the finishing tough to the collection is the pan handle covers, which have had a Crocs-style makeover. The Instagram video gives a sneak peek into the new covers, or Hot Grips – silicone shields which fit snugly around every Our Place pan handle.

While the classic grips boast a sleek, curved silhouette, the new collection is designed to look just like a pair of Crocs (in butter yellow, naturally). The best part? The Crocs Hot Grips can be fully customized using an adorable set of food-themed charms, just like your favorite customizable shoes. Practical, but also guaranteed to bring you joy with every use.

So, there you have it: Crocs cookware is here to rival even the most whimsical butter yellow decor buys, and I predict a sellout, fast.

I, for one, would love to bring the sunshine-y shade into my home this fall, so the Our Place butter yellow collection couldn't have arrived at a better time.
