The Uncoated Kitchen
A kitchen journal by Titanella

What's in your cookware

Is your nonstick pan slowlypoisoning your family?

Here's what the research says. Most parents don't know what's really in their cookware. Here's the truth about what you're cooking with, and why it matters.

The Uncoated Kitchen is the kitchen journal of Titanella. We make the pan in this article, so we've stuck to facts you can check. Sources are listed at the end.

PFAS: the chemical born in war, now in your breakfast.

PFAS: the chemical born in war, now in your breakfast.

PFAS was invented in the 1940s for military applications: waterproofing gear, preventing corrosion on aircraft.

Then companies realized it made pans "non-stick." So they put it in your cookware.

The problem? PFAS never breaks down. It stays in your bloodstream for years. The CDC has found it in the blood of 97% of Americans.

And that "PFOA-free" label? It's just a different PFAS chemical with a different name. Same risk, better marketing.

"Ceramic" pans aren't ceramic. They're coated aluminum.

02/ 04

"Ceramic" pans aren't ceramic. They're coated aluminum.

Real ceramic is what plates and mugs are made from: fired clay, completely inert.

"Ceramic" pans? They're aluminum or steel with a sol-gel ceramic coating sprayed on top.

It's still a coating. Which means it wears off in 6 to 12 months, chips easily, and can't handle high heat.

You're not avoiding coatings. You're just paying more for a prettier one.

Cast iron: great for Sundays. Terrible for Tuesdays.

Cast iron: great for Sundays. Terrible for Tuesdays.

Cast iron fans will defend it to the death. But here's the truth:

01

It rusts.

Leave it wet for 10 minutes, you're scrubbing rust.

02

It reacts.

Cook anything acidic (tomatoes, vinegar, wine), the seasoning breaks down.

03

It demands maintenance.

Hand-wash only. Re-season regularly. Oil after every use.

04

It's heavy.

10 pounds of iron for scrambled eggs? Your wrist knows it's not worth it.

Cast iron works, if you have time to baby it. Most people don't.

Stainless steel: the good, the bad, the sticky.

04/ 04

Stainless steel: the good, the bad, the sticky.

No coatings. Lasts forever. Dishwasher safe. So why does everyone give up? Because everything sticks unless you use excessive oil. Hot spots burn food. Acidic ingredients react with the metal.

It's safer. But still flawed.

Cutaway of The Pan: titanium surface, aluminum core, stainless steel base

Quick answers

Before youchoose a size.

Is it really titanium if a magnet sticks?

Yes. The magnet sticks to the stainless steel base, which is what lets the pan work on induction. The surface you cook on is titanium.

Is it the same as a "titanium-reinforced" nonstick pan?

No. Most of those are coated pans with titanium particles mixed into the coating, so the release still comes from the coating. Here, the surface you cook on is the titanium itself.

Will my eggs stick?

If the pan is cold, yes. Preheat for about 20 seconds, add a little butter or oil, and let them set before you move them. Then they slide.

Is it heavier than my nonstick?

A little. The aluminum core and steel base add weight. That layered build is what spreads heat evenly.

How do I clean it?

Warm water and a soft sponge, then dry. For stuck-on bits, soak a few minutes. It can also go in the dishwasher.

Fixed or detachable handle?

Both. The fixed handle is riveted steel. The detachable one (+$20) clips off for the oven and for storage.

I'm readyto switch.
