Viking and Our Place had some white marks that looked really concerning, but it turned out to be metal dust from the ladle transferring onto the pan. It wiped right off with no permanent damage.

Viking and Our Place both had scary looking white marks, but it was just dust from the whisk breaking apart and transferring onto the pan. I rubbed it off both surfaces.

The biggest surprise was the Our Place pan. Even though I didn't add any oil or butter, the egg did not stick. I had to be careful with the spatula, but once I got under it, the egg lifted up cleanly. Up until now, the only pans that have done that in my testing are traditional non-stick pans, and they usually have to…

This has just come out of the dishwasher, which I will say is my favorite or at least one of my favorite features of this pan.

Cites coating, dishwasher safe, durability, ease of cleaning, heat resistance, non-stick surface, searing and crust

Now, that does not in any way make this pan a pain in the ass to clean. A bit of scrubbing, soap and water, maybe some Bar Keepers Friend, some baking soda make short work of any of the like build-up that comes at the bottom of this pan.
So, I guess it's still easier than a stainless steel pan that's got some food stuck onto it, but it's by no means as easy to clean as a nonstick pan.
Because of its nonstick enough qualities, it's really great for searing meat and the crust that you can get on this thing is absolutely beautiful.
And not only that, because there is no actual like nonstick coating that I have to worry about, I can take a blowtorch to this and sear the top of whatever I want. If I wanted to use open flame on this thing, I will do it with all confidence.
And because it is still just that much easier to clean, it has taken a lot of work from this guy as well.
It just fulfills that one sweet spot of being nonstick enough, easy enough to clean, dishwasher friendly, and extremely durable. There is a lot of convenience in that combination.

Viking PureGlide Pro

As you can see from rendering down 12 oz of salt pork, that is pretty damn nonstick.

Cites heat conduction, non-stick surface, searing and crust, versatility

This example of rendering down 12 oz, right, 12 oz of cured salt pork is probably the best example I can show you and as you can see, there's no fond, there's no sticking, there's no anything.
So, performance, I give this a 10 out of 10. Nonstick, 10 out of 10. Frying capabilities, 10 out of 10.
In terms of like, you know, cooking anything else in here, fish, chicken, steak, vegetables, you name it. Fried eggs, I've done a ton of those in the other pans that I have, the 12-in and the 10-in, and and also the 8-in frying pan.
By By that little hole right there also helps to distribute the heat. You know, that's why that's there.

I measured it at 2 mm, and after a few uses, it warped and spun on my cooktop.

Onine titanium lined pan

What do cooks say about titanium cookware in general?

Claims about titanium cookware that name no single product: technique, materials, what to look for. Still evidence, and often the claims that decide a purchase. There are 10 of them; the 8 with the strongest evidence are below, and every one is in the claim search.

3:01 objects Taima Titanium speaking on Taima Titanium
Getting the cheapest titanium pan you can find is really tempting, but when it comes to titanium pans, lower price often means thin layers, weak bonding, and uneven heat distribution. At first, it might seem fine, but over time, these pans can warp, cook inconsistently, or even stick.

11:33 mixed Prudent Reviews Cookware Reviewer
As for titanium cookware as a whole, my advice is to read the fine print. As you just saw, pans advertised as titanium can be constructed very differently, and that affects performance. And keep in mind that titanium is just one factor. Handle design, thickness, weight, and heat performance all matter just as much…

Titanium is incredibly strong and non-reactive, which is great for durability and safety, but on its own, it's not the best at spreading heat.

7 Titanium Pan Mistakes Everyone Makes (And How to Avoid Them!)

A pan can claim titanium on the label, but if it's thin, poorly bonded, or missing a conductive core, it won't perform the way you expect.
