Choose the right size and shape
Your choice depends on portions, technique and your hob. A 20 cm titanium frying pan suits single portions, eggs and quick breakfasts. A 24 cm pan is the most versatile for two to three servings, while 28 cm is ideal for family searing and larger proteins. Prefer more depth for pan sauces, shallow braises and larger volume cooking: the 24 cm sauté pan gives higher sides and better splash control. For fast stir-fries and tossing, the 24 cm wok concentrates heat and keeps ingredients moving.
All pieces are compatible with induction and all hobs. If you are comparing shapes, start with our guide to choosing a Forneau titanium pan and then refine your selection with tips for matching pan size to your cooking style.
What makes pure titanium different
Forneau uses pure titanium with no non-stick coating: nothing to flake and no PFAS. Over time, titanium will show surface marks from utensils and normal use; these remain superficial, with no coating to chip and nothing designed to migrate into food. This is why many shoppers looking for a non toxic frying pan consider uncoated titanium cookware as an alternative to coated aluminium or traditional non-stick.
- Uncoated, PFAS-free cooking surface
- Designed in France, built for long service life
- Lifetime guarantee for peace of mind
Use and care for everyday results
Preheat, add fat, then cook: this improves release and browning on an uncoated titanium frying pan. Avoid thermal shock (for example, cold water on a very hot pan). For cleaning, warm water and a non-abrasive sponge is usually enough; for stuck-on residue, simmer water briefly and lift with a wooden utensil. If you want a single do-it-all starter, consider the Signature 24 cm pure titanium frying pan.
Is this collection non-stick?
It is uncoated titanium cookware, not a synthetic non-stick coating. With proper preheating and enough fat, release improves and searing is excellent.
Will a titanium pan scratch?
Pure titanium will mark on the surface with normal use and utensils. These marks are superficial; nothing peels or flakes because there is no coating.
Are these pans PFAS-free?
Yes. The collection is uncoated and contains no PFAS-based non-stick layer.
Can I use them on induction?
Yes, all pans in the range are compatible with induction and all hobs, including gas and electric.
What size should I choose?
20 cm for solo portions, 24 cm for everyday versatility, 28 cm for larger meals. Choose the sauté pan for depth and sauces, and the wok for high-heat stir-frying.
