If food is sticking to your titanium pan, it may not have been seasoned properly. Don't worry, this is totally normal.
Unlike pans with synthetic non-stick coatings (like Teflon), your pan is made from 100% pure titanium — which means it needs to be seasoned to activate its naturally non-stick surface.
But don’t worry — seasoning takes just a couple of minutes, and it gets better with each use. Once seasoned properly, your pan will release food easily, clean up faster, and give you long-term performance without any toxic coatings.
Here’s the exact process we recommend to activate that smooth, natural non-stick surface:
What You'll Need:
- Your Titan frying pan
- A few drops of high-smoke point oil
- Recommended: Avocado oil, grapeseed oil, flaxseed oil, sunflower oil
- A paper towel or soft cloth
- A stovetop or oven
🔎 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.
