TITÁN Classic Saucepan — 20cm

Sauces, grains, stocks — uncoated titanium where it counts.

From a morning's oats to a slow-reduced sauce, the 20cm single-handle saucepan handles everything liquid with a solid, uncoated titanium cooking surface. Acidic tomato, citrus and wine sit against inert titanium that won't react or taint a flavour — with a tri-ply body and stainless base for even heat and induction.

Saucepans take the most chemical punishment in the kitchen — acids, salt, long simmers — exactly where coatings break down and reactive metals show their flaws. TITÁN's Grade 1 pure titanium surface simply doesn't react: no metallic aftertaste in your tomato sauce, no pitting from citrus or wine, no coating to fail over a long reduction.

What makes it Classic

• Smooth Classic finish — minimalist, foundational, every-day-essential
• Solid stainless handle — riveted, balanced, built to stay put
• Solid Grade 1 pure titanium cooking surface — clad, not plated; only titanium ever touches your food
• Single-handle build — balanced for one-handed pouring and stirring
• Clad titanium / aluminium / stainless construction — even heat, induction-ready

Living with titanium

Bare titanium develops a gentle patina with use, and any fine marks are purely cosmetic — because the surface is a solid layer of titanium, not a plating or coating, everyday marks are far too shallow to reach through it; you're always cooking on titanium. For best results start on medium-low heat; every TITÁN piece ships with our care guide.

Safe to the core. Only solid titanium meets your food — no nickel on the cooking surface, and no coating to flake or wear off. Titanium is one of the least reactive metals in any kitchen: it won't rust, and it won't react with acid or salt. Every mark it earns is still food-safe titanium.

Works on every cooktop. Induction, gas, electric and ceramic — the magnetic stainless base is induction-ready as standard.

Titanium's inertness matters most with liquids and acids: the pure, uncoated titanium surface won't react with tomato, citrus, vinegar or wine, so there's no metallic taste and nothing leaching into long-simmered food. No PFAS, no PTFE, no chemical coating. The aluminium core and stainless base never contact food.

Dishwasher safe — a quick hand-wash with a soft sponge keeps the finish at its best.
Pre-heat before adding fat or food for the natural low-stick patina to build with use.
Simmer and reduce on medium-low — the tri-ply body holds steady heat without cranking it.
Wood or silicone keeps the surface at its best — and any fine marks that do appear stay shallow, cosmetic and food-safe, becoming part of the patina.
A faint rainbow or iridescent tint over time is normal patina, not a defect.
