What is the difference between TitanWare and most of the non-stick pots and pans on the market today?
Most non-stick surfaces are sprayed, glued or baked on. Therefore, they will easily chip, peel, crack, flake or blister. The TitanWare cooking surface (Quantanium) is made from Titanium, one of the lightest yet hardest metals known to man. The non-stick titanium surface is permanently embedded into the cookware so it will not chip, peel, crack, flake or blister...guaranteed for 30 years. TitanWare has tri-riveted handles. Most other non-stick cookware has handles that are screwed on or spot-welded. TitanWare is oven safe up to 500 degrees and all TitanWare lids have reservoirs to prevent boil over and also have built in steam vents.
What material is used on the non-stick cooking surface of TitanWare?

NSF stand for National Sanitation Foundation; a non-profit organization that certifies cookware (and other products) for commercial use. TitanWare is NSF certified. Please call 800-625-3777 for information to verify NSF certification.
Will TitanWare scratch?
Any metal can scratch. If you scratch your TitanWare Cookware (perhaps with a knife) the scratch will remain just a blemish. It will not peel, crack or flake off. The scratch will not affect the non-stick properties of the TitanWare. TitanWare will remain non-stick, guaranteed for 30 years.
Should TitanWare be "seasoned", and if so, how do you do it?
It is recommended that you season your cookware before using it for the first time, and re-seasoning several times a year thereafter. Please read the Instructions and Care on this website, or see the Care and Use insert in each box of TitanWare.
I like to watch my food cook...why doesn't TitanWare have glass lids?
All TitanWare lids are vented reservoir lids. These lids perform several great functions AND they don't shatter if you drop them.
What is a vented reservoir lid?
Vented reservoir lids have built in steam vents that can be opened and closed with one finger. The reservoir built into each lid collects liquid that may otherwise boil over the side of the cookware onto the stovetop and onto the bottom of the pan (the most difficult part to clean). Since the boiled-over liquid collects in the reservoir lid, your cleanup is as easy as lifting the lid and pouring the liquid back into the pan.
