Question from Lisa P

Hello Debra,

I was wondering whether you are familiar with titanium coated cookware. Advertised as non-toxic, inert and nonstick, it sounds like a great alternative to teflon. Titanium has been used in medicine and dentistry for a while with a great safety record. One of titanium cookware brands, that’s affordable is Analon. Any comment would be appreciated.

Debra’s Answer

I didn’t see any titanium cookware on the Analon site.

Several years ago a friend asked me about titanium cookware and I did some research on it. At the time, I discovered that the brand he was considering buying was made by locking the standard Teflon-type non-stick plastic finish into a crater-like material made from indestructable ceramic and titanium. Embedding the finish in the ceramic-titanium craters prevents it from being scraped off into the food, but fumes may still be released, especially as a result of long periods of excessive heat.

I can’t speak to your question about Analon specifically, as I couldn’t find the product.

Other titanium cookware may be different. We need to look at each individually.
