Titanium and materials

Why choose titanium over plastic, wood or non-stick?
  • No PFAS, no PTFE and no microplastics.
  • A clean, non-porous surface for cooking and food preparation.
  • Resists corrosion, scratches and warping, so it's made to last for decades.
  • Fully recyclable, which means less waste over its lifetime.
Is titanium safe for contact with food?

Yes. Titanium is one of the safest materials you can use in a kitchen. It's non-reactive, it doesn't leach into food, and it's trusted in medicine and aerospace because of its purity and stability. No coatings, no toxins.

How does it compare with non-stick or Teflon pans?

Coated non-stick pans rely on a chemical layer that wears away with heat, metal utensils and time, and most need replacing within a few years. Ashbury pans have no coating at all. The cooking surface is solid titanium, so there's nothing to scratch off and nothing to end up in your food.

Is titanium naturally non-stick?

It has excellent natural food release once you get the heat right. Warm the pan over a medium heat, add a little oil, then add your food. A light coat of oil now and then will improve release even further.

Is titanium heavy?

Not at all. Titanium is roughly 40% lighter than steel and far lighter than cast iron, so even our larger pans are comfortable to lift one-handed.

How long will my Ashbury products last?

Unlike wood, plastic or coated pans, titanium doesn't wear out. Looked after properly, your Ashbury pieces will serve you for decades. It's a one-off investment rather than something you replace every few years.

Are your products environmentally friendly?

Yes, and it starts with the design. The most sustainable product is one you never have to replace. Titanium is fully recyclable, and we focus on quality over quantity to move away from throwaway kitchenware.

Cooking and care

Which hobs can I use it on?

Our pans work on gas, electric and ceramic hobs, and in the oven. Induction compatibility depends on the base of each piece, so check the product page before you buy.

How do I clean it?

Wash with warm water and a little washing-up liquid. There's no need for special cleaners or hard scrubbing. Avoid sudden temperature changes, such as plunging a hot pan into cold water. A natural patina may develop over time; this is completely normal and actually improves performance.

Is it dishwasher safe?

Yes. All of our pure titanium products are dishwasher safe and highly resistant to heat, water and cleaning products. They won't absorb odours, grease or stains.

Can I use metal utensils?

Yes. With no coating to damage, metal utensils are perfectly fine. You may see light surface marks over time, but they won't affect how the pan cooks.

Will a titanium board blunt my knives?

Titanium is harder than wood or plastic, so a very fine edge may need honing a little more often. In return you get a board that never scars, stains or holds on to bacteria.
