How to Season Your Pan for a Naturally Non-Stick Surface

To get the best cooking experience from your pure titanium pan, it’s important to season it before first use.

Unlike pans with artificial coatings, titanium builds its own naturally non-stick surface — all it takes is a little oil and heat. Seasoning not only helps prevent food from sticking, but also enhances durability and improves performance over time.
The good news? It only takes a few minutes, and your pan gets better every time you use it.

Follow the steps below to activate that smooth, non-stick surface from day one.

🔎 Step-by-step guide:

Step 1: Clean the pan

Wash the pan with warm water and a drop of mild dish soap to remove any possible factory residue.

Dry thoroughly with a towel. The pan must be completely dry before seasoning.

Step 2: Apply a thin layer of oil

  • Add 3–5 drops of oil to the center of the pan.
  • Use a paper towel or cloth to spread it evenly across the entire cooking surface.
  • Wipe off any excess — you want a very thin, almost invisible coating. (Too much oil can create sticky residue instead of seasoning.)

Step 3: Heat it up

There are two easy methods:

🔥 Method A — On the stovetop (quick & easy):

  • Place the pan on medium heat.
  • Let it heat for 4–6 minutes, or until you see a faint darkening or a bit of smoke (totally normal).
  • Remove from heat and let cool completely.

🔥 Method B — In the oven (more even):

  • Preheat your oven to 230°C (450°F).
  • Place the oiled pan upside down (with a tray underneath to catch drips).
  • Bake for 30–45 minutes.
  • Turn off the oven and let the pan cool inside.

Step 4: Wipe & store

Once cool, gently wipe off any remaining oil with a clean cloth and store your pan.



🔁 How often should you season it?

  • Once before first use is a must.
  • Re-season every few months or if you notice sticking.
  • The more you cook with oil, the more seasoned it becomes — your pan improves with use.

🧽 Bonus care tips for non-stick performance

  • Always preheat the pan before adding food (even just 30 seconds on medium heat).
  • Avoid sprays or low-quality oils that can leave residue.
  • Don’t use metal scrubbers — soft sponges only.
  • Wash with just warm water most of the time; soap occasionally.
