Our Place Titanium Pro Pans

These pans come in a variety of sizes and sets.

I teamed up with my friends at Our Place to design, test, and prototype the first line of non-stick pans engineered to work without any coating, making it safe and durable for a lifetime.

At its core, the Titatium Pro pan is a high end tri-ply steel clad pan—think classic All-Clad construction. An aluminum core provides even heating, clad with stainless steel for strength and searing power.

Where it differs from other non-stick pans is on the interior. Instead of stainless steel, the cooking surface is clad with 99.6% pure titanium. That titanium undergoes a proprietary heating and controlled oxidation process that creates an ultra‑thin layer of titanium oxide (TiO₂)—about 2–10 nanometers thick—bonded directly to the metal.

This layer is roughly 300% harder than steel, making it metal‑utensil‑safe and extremely durable. More importantly, it develops a microscopic surface texture invisible to the naked eye.

That texture creates what scientists call the “lotus effect,” named after the naturally hydrophobic surface of lotus leaves. It’s this invisible micro‑texture—rather than a sprayed‑on coating—that gives the Titanium Pro its nonstick properties.

Titanium Pro has no coating at all. Nothing to chip, scrape off, or degrade with heat or dishwasher use. It's an engineered part of the surface of the pan that is inert, meaning it won’t leach, corrode, or alter food flavor — even at high temperatures or with acidic ingredients.
