Titanium cookware is lightweight, durable, and has a non-stick surface. It heats up quickly and retains the flavor of the food. It is also scratch-resistant and easy to clean. Although expensive, it is a long-lasting addition to the kitchen.
Titanium is a silver colored metallic material that has the highest strength-to-weight ratio of all metals known to man. In other words, it’s lightweight yet has incredible strength and durability. Titanium is used in a variety of applications ranging from aircraft equipment to eyeglass frames. In recent years it has attracted attention as an excellent material for making cookware.
Cast iron has been the gold standard of tough, durable cookware for centuries. It wasn’t until the late 1990s that kitchen innovators decided to try a new metal. Today, titanium cookware is known for being as durable as cast iron while offering a featherweight edge that cast iron lacks.
The lightweight nature of titanium is an attraction for many types of people. Pots that previously needed two hands to carry, when made of cast iron, may only need one. Cooks who have ailments like carpal tunnel and arthritis find relief in using titanium cookware. This advantage also has great appeal for campers for whom tin has been the standard lightweight pot. Tin is brittle, pliable and easily dented compared to the durability of titanium.
The metal itself has a number of benefits for its users. It is a fast-heating metal, which means that a pan placed on the stove heats up much faster than the same pan made of another material. For this reason, it’s important to find titanium cookware with a thick cooking surface to reduce hot spots or burning of food. It’s also non-porous, meaning the flavor of the food stays in the food and the flavor of the metal stays in the metal.
Titanium cookware is also generally non-stick, and many brands have a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) coating, which is the same chemical used to make Teflon. This means cooking requires less oil or butter and can therefore be healthier and lower in fat. It also provides easy cleaning as no steel wool or heavy duty cleaners are required. A simple wipe removes all food residue and leaves the pan shiny and ready for the next use.
Titanium cookware is known to be a lasting addition to the kitchen. It is scratch resistant, dent resistant and resists deformation. The finish will remain glossy indefinitely further enhancing the uses for the cookware. Many dinner guests find that they are happy to leave dinner in the pot and save the trouble of a serving dish. While the price of titanium is much higher than the alternatives, users will likely never need to buy new cookware again.
