8 Reasons to Replace Your Plastic Board and Coated Pan

Your cutting board and pan touch almost every meal you make. But plastic can wear, coatings can peel, and old smells can stay. Here are eight reasons to consider the Apex Titanium Cook & Prep Bundle.

Reason #1

Keep Plastic Bits and Peeling Coatings Out of Your Meals

Reason #1

Keep Plastic Bits and Peeling Coatings Out of Your Meals

Your knife can wear down a plastic board over time. A coated pan can also start peeling as its surface wears. Food passes over both surfaces before it reaches your plate.

Apex gives you titanium for both prep and cooking. The board has no plastic surface to shed. The pan has no traditional non-stick coating to peel. From the first cut to the final stir, your food touches titanium.

does either item have a plastic or traditional non-stick food-contact surface?

No. Both have titanium food-contact surfaces. The board has no plastic cutting surface, and the pan has no traditional non-stick coating.

why replace both instead of just one?

Replacing both removes those two surfaces from your routine. You prepare food on titanium, then cook it on titanium too.

Reason #2

Make Both Steps Easier to Keep Clean

Reason #2

Make Both Steps Easier to Keep Clean

Food juices can collect in cuts on an old plastic board. A damaged pan coating can also make food harder to remove. Cleaning one well still leaves the other to deal with.

The Apex bundle gives you two non-porous titanium surfaces. Non-porous means they do not soak up food juices. You can wash away food after chopping and cooking without working around deep plastic grooves or a peeling coating.

does titanium mean i can skip washing either item?

No. Wash the board after prep and the pan after cooking. Both are dishwasher-safe, or you can wash them with dish soap and water.

how do i clean the bundle after preparing raw meat?

Wash the board thoroughly before using it for other foods. After cooking, let the pan cool before washing it.

Reason #3

Leave Food Smells Behind After Washing

Reason #3

Leave Food Smells Behind After Washing

Fish, garlic, and onions can leave smells on an old board. Leftover food and oil can also leave your pan smelling. That is frustrating when you are ready to make something different.

Apex brings odor-resistant titanium to both parts of your routine. The board and pan do not absorb food juices. Wash away the remains of one meal, then start the next with clean surfaces.

can i use the bundle for fish, then another meal?

Yes. Wash both items thoroughly between meals. Remove all food and oil before preparing your next dish.

will a quick rinse remove every smell from both items?

Not always. Use dishwasher or  soap and water, especially after oily or strong-smelling foods. Odor resistance does not replace proper washing.

Reason #4

Prep and Cook Your Favourite Foods Without Changing Tools

Reason #4

Prep and Cook Your Favourite Foods Without Changing Tools

Some bare metal surfaces can react with tomatoes, lemon, and vinegar. This may change your food’s taste or colour. You should not need a different board or pan just because a recipe uses acidic ingredients.

Apex gives you non-reactive titanium surfaces for both steps. Cut tomatoes and lemons on the board, then cook your sauce in the pan. Non-reactive means the surfaces do not readily react with your ingredients.

can i prepare and cook acidic foods with this bundle?

Yes. Both titanium surfaces are suitable for ingredients such as tomatoes, lemon, and vinegar.

will the titanium surfaces give my food a metallic taste?

Titanium does not add a metallic taste to food. Clean both items between uses to remove leftover ingredients.

Reason #5

Spend Less Time Cleaning Up After Dinner

Reason #5

Spend Less Time Cleaning Up After Dinner

After making dinner, washing everything by hand is another job. Some plastic boards and coated pans have care limits. You have to check which item can go in the dishwasher.

Both items in the Apex bundle are dishwasher-safe. Put the board in after prep, and let the pan cool before loading it. You can also wash both by hand with dish soap and water.

can both the pan and board go in the dishwasher?

Yes. Both are dishwasher-safe, so you can clean them with your other suitable kitchen items.

do i need special cleaning products for the bundle?

No special cleaner is needed for everyday washing. Dish soap and water work for both. Warm soaking helps loosen food stuck to the pan.

Reason #6

Give Yourself Room to Prep and Cook

Reason #6

Give Yourself Room to Prep and Cook

A small board quickly fills with chopped ingredients. A cramped pan then makes cooking those ingredients harder. You end up preparing and cooking the same meal in several batches.

This bundle gives you a large board and an 11-inch pan. The 15 × 11-inch board provides room for everyday chopping. The 28 cm hammered pan is ready for vegetables, eggs, fish, meat, and more.

what sizes come in the bundle?

You get a large 15 × 11-inch Titanium Cutting Board and a 28 cm / 11-inch Titanium Hammered Pan.

can i use the bundle to prepare a complete meal?

Yes. Chop your ingredients on the board, then cook them in the pan.

Reason #7

Stop Paying for the Same Replacements

Reason #7

Stop Paying for the Same Replacements

A cheap board and pan may cost less today. But another worn board or peeling pan means buying again. Those repeated purchases add to your kitchen costs.

Apex brings two long-term kitchen tools together. The titanium board replaces your plastic cutting surface. The titanium pan has no temporary non-stick coating to wear away. Compare one bundle with your usual replacement purchases.

will buying the bundle save me money over time?

That depends on what you spend and how often you replace your tools. The more frequently you buy replacements, the more useful that comparison becomes.

does either item need a coating or cutting layer replaced?

Neither depends on a plastic cutting layer or traditional non-stick coating.

Reason #8

Try Both With the Meals You Actually Make

Reason #8

Try Both With the Meals You Actually Make

It is hard to judge kitchen tools from pictures alone. You want to know how the board feels when chopping. You also need to see how the pan handles your usual meals.

Apex offers a 100-day money-back guarantee for added confidence. Try the bundle in your own kitchen. See how both items fit your prep, cooking, and cleanup routine, under the return policy’s terms.

can i try the bundle before deciding to keep it?

Apex offers a 100-day money-back guarantee, subject to its return policy. Check the terms for return eligibility and instructions.

what should i check when trying the bundle?

Try the board with your usual ingredients and the pan with familiar recipes. Check their size, handling, cooking results, and cleanup.

One 28 cm / 11-inch Titanium Hammered Pan and one large 15 × 11-inch Titanium Cutting Board.
