Titanium cookware

[whitecotton]

I was wondering if you know much about titanium cookware? My in laws told me it's the healthiest and the best cookware. Well I did search on the internet and didn't find much info about it. Thank you.

Yes, titanium cookwear is non-reactive and so is excellent to use.

Titanium Cookware is the new darling of healthy cooking. You can actually cook food with no butter or oil. I make eggs every morning in titanium pans, with no butter. You just put the egg in and cook it, less the butter. The real beauty is that it still tastes great! The egg doesn't dry up or burn, it remains nice and moist and fluffy. You cant beat it! ha ha, get it?

Hi. I'm looking at possibly purchasing the 'Procook' titanium set. In the description on their website they state that four non stick layers are applied. Is it AOK healthwise as long as it's titanium based? Thanks in advance. Andy.

That all depends upon what the non-stick surface is composed of. If it contains synthetic resins over titanium, why buy it?

Hi. I checked with the manufacturer and they're sprayed with titanium apparently so that'll do me. Thanks.

[Rebecca]

You might ask again. It's sprayed with 100% titanium or is the titanium blended with another substance?

I am interested in buying a Sanyo Rice Cooker. They advertise "Titanium-Coated Extra-Thick (5mm) Non-Stick Inner Pot". I this material relatively safe? It is unclear to me if there is a coating on the titanium or what it is mixed with. I called Sanyo consumer relations and they could give me no additional information. Is anyone familiar with this?

As a consumer you have a right to know.

When I get a Customer Relations person who cannot answer my questions, I ask to speak to someone who can do so. I identify myself as a food writer. You might identify yourself as a potential customer who will post the information on line.

Keep us all posted.

I called back Sanyo Customer Relations. They were no more help even after I said that I will post the information on line. I also asked them if this unit contains PFOA or PTFE and they could not answer that. The phone number I called was 1-818-998-7322 then 2-2-1-2. I also asked for the number to there engineering department for this unit which they did not have.

How frustrating.

Whenever I find a manufacturer who is not forthcoming with relevant information that the consumer has a right to know, I buy elsewhere.

Again and again I find that reputable manufacturers happily share the data and details that clearly substantiates why they have a superior product (such as Ceramcor and Le Creuset)

Companies more concerned with profit than accountability do not do so.
