Not as Non-Stick as expected from Marketing FLUFF!!
Not as Non-Stick as expected from Marketing FLUFF!! I have had the 10.2” and 11.8” TitanCore pans with lids since 30Sep2025. Both pans perform quite well, with the personal adjustment to turn the heat down a notch from previous cooking experiences (~Med versus Med-High), when warming the pan and starting cooking. Also, Searing ANYTHING (especially our favorites - tuna steaks), Frying sausages and ham slices, etc, requires A LOT more elbow grease to clean the ‘blackened’ bits from the ’hammered’ indentations (even after soaking full of hot water overnight, and using a woven stainless steel scrub ‘cloth’), than expected for pans even peripherally marketed as ‘non-stick’! Just be prepared for likely more clean up than TitanCore infers in their marketing materials. Otherwise… it’s all good!

Dear Seamus, Thank you for your detailed and honest feedback! We appreciate you sharing your real-world experience after several months of use. You're absolutely right - adjusting to medium heat is key, and we hear you on the cleanup for seared items like tuna steaks. While titanium offers incredible durability and health benefits, high-heat searing does require more scrubbing than traditional non-stick, especially in those hammered indentations. We could do better at setting those expectations upfront. Bar Keeper's Friend can help with stubborn spots. We're glad the pans are performing well overall, and we genuinely appreciate your candid review! 🍳 Greetings, TitanCore
