This message is for Eileen. We purchased titanium exclusive cookware in 2002 under the assumption it would be the last cookware we would ever need well we are disappointed. The cookware surface started to flake and we are reluctant to use for fear it is toxic. Some of the cookware is still OK as they are the pieces that get used less often.

The warranty is such that after five years it will only cover part of the cost which in our case is nothing.

I am looking to buy some titanium pots/pans and wonder if anyone has had any feedback from the products sold by Titanium Exclusive Cookware out of Scarborough, Ontario, Canada.

Do Not Buy Titanium from PLASMA INNOVATION COOKWARE!! I bought a pan (which cost almost $300) from them and after 6 months it lost its non-stick properties even though I properly cleaned it. The warranty was supposed to be for 20 years! When I contacted the company they refused to refund/replace it. Very bad customer service and they do not stand behind their warranty. I have seen numerous bad reviews about this company on-line… I just wish I did my research before. I don’t know how a company like this stays in business with such a bad product. It’s no wonder they don’t sell in stores… the returns would be overwhelming. They shouldn’t be allowed to sell this product! They are scamming their customers!

Who is the manufacturer of your titanium pots, Pat?

I too had difficulty with my titanium pots scratching after a short time of use. The customer friendly service were not helpful at all and did not stand behind their warranty. In fact they wanted me to pay an additional $300.00 and buy a scouring pad for $20.00. I have been asked to be removed from their mailing list as I will never buy another one of those pots again.
They stick, they are scrapped and they cost approximately $800.00 to purchase.

Hello Rosario,

There probably are pots made of 100% Titanium BUT, it would probably cost a lot of money to own a set.

There are pots made of 100% top grade stainless steel BLENDED with titanium which are quite popular and I believe these are the ones you should be looking for.

Titanium blended cookwares are the safest cookwares because titanium are known to be non-porous, non-reactive and non-toxic. Titanium is being use in the medical/surgical field mainly because of these 3 reasons (i.e., scalpel, needle holders, tweezers, scissors, etc.) not to mention being used as implants (in certain instances) in the human body.

The danger of Teflon coated cookwares and other ‘non-stick’ surfaces is when it exceeds temperatures due to continuous exposure to heat then the coating breaks apart and emits toxic particles and gases linked to hundreds, perhaps thousands, of pet bird deaths and an unknown number of human illnesses each year, according to tests commissioned by Environmental Working Group (EWG).

I am not sure what you meant about ‘food doesn’t touch the titanium’, but in titanium blended cookwares, it is the titanium that’s ‘touching’ the food because, as mentioned earlier, titanium is non-porous, non-reactive and non-toxic.

I hope this helps.

We are talking of titanium also if the food doesn’t touch the titanium but a patented non-stick coating which contains Teflon or ceramic with other components that are unknown.
I do not know pots made with only titanium and you?
