Why We Picked It
316Ti is a marine-grade stainless alloy stabilized with titanium. Compared to the 304 stainless used in most cookware, 316Ti has superior corrosion resistance and lower nickel migration into food, making it a better choice for people sensitive to nickel.
The 5-ply fully clad construction (5 bonded layers across the entire pan, not just the base) delivers uniform heat across the walls and bottom. The cooking surface is bare stainless, with no PTFE, PFOA, or any non-stick coating to degrade over time.
How It Fits Our Good Steward Standards
- ✓
No PFAS
Uncoated stainless has zero forever chemicals on the cooking surface.
- ✓
Full Transparency
Alloy composition (316Ti) and construction (5-ply fully clad) are openly published by the manufacturer.
- ✓
Toxin & Heavy-Metal Free
316Ti has lower nickel leaching than standard 304 stainless under typical cooking conditions.
Care & Use
Use wooden, bamboo, or soft stainless utensils to avoid scratching the cooking surface. Avoid aggressive metal spatulas. For stuck-on food, deglaze with water rather than scrubbing. Dishwasher-safe, but hand-washing preserves the finish longer.
