The pan we built first

A founder's note from Milli.

When we started TITÁN, we set ourselves one rule: build the first pan as if it were the only pan we'd ever sell.

That pan became the 28cm Signature Hammered Frying Pan. It's the piece I reach for almost every day — wide enough for a real sear, balanced for a one-handed lift, and built around the surface I started this company to make.

The brief

A pan you could use hard, for years, without thinking about it.

That sounds obvious. It isn't. Most non-stick pans have a built-in countdown — the coating chips, flakes, or simply stops working, and the whole category is designed around replacement. We wanted the opposite: a pan that gets better the more you cook with it.

So, no coating. The cooking surface had to be solid, uncoated titanium — inert, biocompatible, hard enough to take metal utensils. Beneath it, a clad construction: a titanium cooking surface, an aluminium core for fast, even heat, and a stainless steel base for induction. And it had to look like something you'd happily leave out on the cooktop.

The hammered finish

The Signature line is hammered — a faceted titanium surface that catches the light. There's a practical reason: the texture helps the natural low-stick patina build evenly over time. And an honest one: it's beautiful.

Why the flagship is heavier

The 28cm Signature is the most substantial piece in our opening line — built to a thicker 2.8mm clad standard and weighing 2.6kg. That heft is deliberate. A flagship should feel like it will outlast its owner: steady on the burner, even in the hand, unmistakably solid. It's the one piece we hold to that spec, and it earns the word flagship.

What it stands for

One pan, one promise: only titanium meets your food. No coatings, no PFAS, no chemical layer between you and your dinner.

Get the first pan right, and the rest of the range has somewhere to start from.
