10 Things to Know Before Switching to Titanium Pan

Switching to titanium changes how you cook and care for your pan. From food release to cleaning, these 10 points explain what to expect-and how the Apex Titanium Pan fits your daily routine.

Thing #1

No Non-Stick Coating to Wear Away

Thing #1

No Non-Stick Coating to Wear Away

Traditional non-stick pans depend on a coating that wears with use. Once it becomes damaged, food can start sticking and cleaning gets harder. You end up replacing a pan that once worked well.

Apex uses a Grade 1 titanium cooking surface without a traditional non-stick coating. Your food touches titanium directly. There is no thin non-stick coating to peel or flake away.

does apex contain teflon, ptfe, or pfas?

No. Apex states that its cooking surface contains no Teflon, PTFE, PFAS, or traditional non-stick coating.

is titanium just another non-stick coating?

No. Apex uses a solid titanium cooking surface bonded to the layers underneath. It does not use an applied Teflon-style coating.

Thing #2

Easier Food Release Starts With Heat and Oil

Thing #2

Easier Food Release Starts With Heat and Oil

If you are used to a coated pan, titanium needs a small change in your routine. Adding food before the pan is warm can cause sticking. Too much heat can also burn food onto the surface.

Warm Apex over medium-low heat, then spread a little oil across the surface. Its textured titanium surface works with these steps to help food release. Eggs, fish, and vegetables become easier to lift and turn.

will apex cook exactly like my current non-stick pan?

No. Titanium needs proper preheating, a little oil, and controlled heat. These steps help food release without a slippery coating.

how much oil should i use?

Apex recommends about one teaspoon spread across the cooking surface. Adjust the amount for your food and portion size.

Thing #3

Three Layers, Each With a Clear Purpose

Thing #3

Three Layers, Each With a Clear Purpose

A pan’s cooking surface is only part of the story. The materials underneath affect heating, strength, and stove compatibility. Knowing the full construction helps you compare pans properly.

Apex combines a titanium cooking surface, an aluminium core, and a stainless-steel exterior. Your food touches titanium. Aluminium spreads heat, while stainless steel supports the body and allows induction cooking.

is the entire apex pan made from titanium?

No. It has three layers: titanium inside, aluminium in the middle, and stainless steel outside.

does my food touch the aluminium layer?

No. The aluminium core stays inside the pan, beneath the titanium cooking surface.

Thing #4

Even Heating Without Turning the Stove to Maximum

Thing #4

Even Heating Without Turning the Stove to Maximum

Hot spots can burn one part of your meal while another stays undercooked. Turning up the heat does not solve uneven heating. It can leave you constantly moving food around.

Apex’s aluminium core helps spread heat across the cooking surface. Start with low or medium heat, then adjust as needed. This gives you better control when cooking eggs, vegetables, fish, or meat.

should i use the same heat setting as my old pan?

Start lower and adjust as needed. Apex heats quickly, so your usual setting may be higher than necessary.

can apex sear steak or brown chicken?

Yes. Proper preheating helps the pan reach the heat needed for browning and searing. Adjust the temperature for the food you are cooking.

Thing #5

Use the Metal Utensils You Already Own

Thing #5

Use the Metal Utensils You Already Own

Many coated pans need wooden or silicone utensils to protect their surface. Picking up a metal spatula means worrying about scratches. Damage can shorten the coating’s useful life.

Apex’s scratch-resistant titanium surface is suitable for metal utensils. Use your regular spatulas, spoons, and tongs without protecting a fragile non-stick coating. Follow the care instructions to keep the surface in good condition.

can i use a metal spatula on apex?

Yes. Apex states that metal spatulas, spoons, and tongs are suitable for its titanium cooking surface.

does scratch-resistant mean it will never show marks?

No. Scratch-resistant does not mean scratch-proof. Marks can appear with use, so follow the recommended cooking and cleaning instructions.

Thing #6

Cook Acidic Foods Without a Reactive Surface

Thing #6

Cook Acidic Foods Without a Reactive Surface

Tomatoes, lemon, and vinegar can react with some bare metal cookware. This can affect the food’s taste or colour and wear the surface. It limits which meals you feel comfortable cooking.

Apex’s titanium surface is non-reactive, meaning it does not readily react with your ingredients. Cook tomato sauces, citrus dishes, and vinegar-based meals directly on titanium. The aluminium core stays sealed inside the pan.

can i simmer tomato sauce in apex?

Yes. The titanium cooking surface is suitable for tomato sauces and other acidic foods.

will titanium add a metallic taste to my food?

Titanium is non-reactive and does not normally add a metallic taste to food.

Thing #7

One Pan for Gas, Electric, and Induction

Thing #7

One Pan for Gas, Electric, and Induction

A pan that works on your current stove may not suit your next one. Switching to induction can leave usable cookware sitting in the cupboard. You then have to buy replacements.

Apex works on gas, electric, ceramic, and induction cooktops. Its stainless-steel exterior makes induction cooking possible. You can keep using the same pan if your stove changes later.

will apex work on an induction cooktop?

Yes. Apex states that the Titanium Pan is compatible with induction cooktops.

can i also use it on a gas or electric stove?

Yes. It works on gas, electric, and ceramic cooktops as well as induction.

Thing #8

Go From Stove to Oven Without Switching Pans

Thing #8

Go From Stove to Oven Without Switching Pans

Browning food on the stove and finishing it in the oven often needs two dishes. Transferring the meal adds another step. It also leaves more washing after dinner.

Apex is oven-compatible, so you can finish cooking in the same pan. Brown chicken, sear meat, or start a one-pan meal on the stove. Then move it into the oven using oven gloves.

can apex move directly from the stove to the oven?

Yes. Apex states that the pan is oven-compatible.

will the handle become hot in the oven?

Yes. Treat the pan and handle as hot after oven use. Always use oven gloves when moving or holding it.

Thing #9

Simple Cleaning Without Regular Seasoning

Thing #9

Simple Cleaning Without Regular Seasoning

Some cookware adds extra jobs after every meal. Cast iron needs careful drying and seasoning. Delicate coatings need cleaning methods that protect the surface.

Apex does not need traditional cast-iron seasoning. Let it cool, wash with dish soap, and soak stubborn food before wiping. It is also dishwasher-safe when you prefer machine washing.

can i put apex in the dishwasher?

Yes. Apex states that the Titanium Pan is dishwasher-safe. You can also wash it by hand.

what should i do if food burns onto the surface?

Let the pan cool, then soak it in warm, soapy water. Gently remove the softened food according to the care instructions.

Thing #10
