A worn non-stick pan, scratched with the coating gone in the centre
Forever chemicals

Classic Non-Stick Pan

Empty preheating or searing pushes the PTFE coating past ~500°F (260°C). It starts to break down and gives off fumes, and every scratch sheds micro-flakes of coating into your food.

Stainless Steel Pan

18/10 steel contains up to 10% nickel and 18% chromium. Tomato sauce, wine or lemon slowly pull these metals out of the surface. The longer it simmers, the more ends up in your food.

Cast Iron Pan

Bare iron is protected only by a layer of baked-on oil. Acidic food or soap strips it away, and the raw iron reacts with your food. It rusts if it stays wet.

A closer look

Every detail has a purpose.

Surface, handle, profile: what each one tells you about how the pan cooks.

Macro of the hammered titanium cooking surface catching side light

What to observe

Hammered surface

Look at how side light breaks across the facets. The texture is part of the metal, not a printed pattern or a coating.

Brushed titanium handle rising from the rim of the pan

What to observe

Handle

Note the handle's length and angle — it keeps your hand away from the heat source.

Side profile of the pan showing its flared walls and handle angle

What to observe

Side profile

The flared walls help moisture escape when searing and make it easy to slide food out.

Close view of the rim and the depth of the hammered pan

What to observe

Rim and depth

Check the rim's finish and the pan's depth: enough to contain oil and juices, shallow enough to flip and toss.

The titanium pan seen whole from a three-quarter angle

What to observe

The whole object

Three layers, one finish. A pan meant to look as considered on the stove as on the shelf.

Reviews

In real kitchens.

  • A spatula lifting a fried egg cleanly out of the titanium pan

    Rated 4 out of 5

    “Eggs slide right out once you preheat properly. It took me two tries to get the hang of it, and now it's the pan I reach for every morning.”

    Emily Carter · Size: 28 cm

  • Rated 4 out of 5

    “鎚目の仕上げは、実物のほうがさらに美しいです。手に持つと軽いのに、しっかりしていて、まさに本物の道具という感じです。”

    The hammered finish is even more beautiful in person. Light in the hand but it feels solid, like a real tool.

    Haruto Sato · Size: 22 cm

  • A ribeye steak searing with rosemary in the titanium pan

    Rated 5 out of 5

    “Better crust on a ribeye than my old cast iron, at half the weight. Cleanup was warm water and a sponge.”

    Michael Thompson · Size: 30 cm

  • Rated 5 out of 5

    “Finally threw out my peeling non-stick pans. I wash it by hand anyway: it takes thirty seconds.”

    Sarah Mitchell · Size: The Trio

  • Pan-fried gyoza with golden bottoms in the titanium pan

    Rated 4 out of 5

    “Perfect crispy gyoza. Food sticks a little if you rush the preheat, but that's true of any pan without a coating.”

    Yuki Tanaka · Size: 28 cm

  • Rated 4 out of 5

    “Beautiful craftsmanship, and it heats evenly. My only small gripe: the handle gets warm on long cooks.”

    Kenji Watanabe · Size: 28 cm

  • A man in an apron cooking okonomiyaki in the titanium pan

    Rated 5 out of 5

    “The heat spreads evenly, so my okonomiyaki browns the same from edge to center. You can tell it was made by people who care about tools.”

    Takeshi Yamamoto · Size: 28 cm

  • Rated 5 out of 5

    “At my age a heavy skillet is a real problem. This one is light enough to lift with one hand, and the salmon skin came out perfectly crisp.”

    Patricia Hughes · Size: 28 cm

  • A woman serving rolled omelette and vegetables from the titanium pan

    Rated 4 out of 5

    “Light enough to toss vegetables like a wok. It goes in the dishwasher when I'm busy and comes out fine.”

    Keiko Nakamura · Size: 28 cm

  • Rated 4 out of 5

    “First morning I burned the pancakes: my gas stove runs hot. Turned it down to medium and they came out golden and slid right off. Just learn the heat.”

    Robert Jenkins · Size: 30 cm

  • A laughing man holding the titanium pan with a seared pork chop in pan sauce

    Rated 5 out of 5

    “Best pan I've owned for pan sauces. The browned bits lift right off when you deglaze, nothing scorches.”

    David Russo · Size: 30 cm

  • Rated 4 out of 5

    “So beautiful I hang it on the wall. A golden tint appeared after a very hot sear, and a little vinegar took most of it away.”

    Mariko Fujita · Size: 22 cm

  • A smiling woman holding the titanium pan with crisp chicken thighs

    Rated 4 out of 5

    “I was skeptical and ordered a single pan to try. Three weeks later I'm ordering the trio. Chicken thighs come out crisp and the pan wipes clean.”

    Carol Bennett · Size: 28 cm

  • Rated 4 out of 5

    “I live in a tiny apartment with one burner, so this is the only pan I own now. Rice, vegetables, chicken, all in one, and it still looks beautiful.”

    Naomi Ishikawa · Size: 22 cm

  • A man in a white cook's jacket searing mackerel in the titanium pan

    Rated 5 out of 5

    “三十年、料理店で働いてきて、ゆっくり火を入れることを学びました。このフライパンは熱をしっかり保ってくれるので、魚の皮が焦らずに均一にパリッと焼けます。”

    Thirty years cooking in restaurants taught me to cook slowly. This pan holds its heat beautifully: the fish skin crisps evenly without rushing.

    Hiroshi Kobayashi · Size: 28 cm

  • Rated 5 out of 5

    “No more flakes of coating in the grandkids' eggs. The frittata slid right out onto the board. Peace of mind, finally.”

    Susan Delgado · Size: 28 cm

  • A couple cooking garlic shrimp together in the titanium pan

    Rated 5 out of 5

    “We switched from our hybrid pans because my wife was tired of fighting them. Shrimp, eggs, fish: everything releases once it's preheated. She's happy, so I'm happy.”

    Mark Sullivan · Size: 30 cm

  • Rated 4 out of 5

    “After dinner I leave it in warm soapy water for a few minutes and everything wipes away. Cleaning used to be the worst part of cooking.”

    Akiko Mori · Size: 22 cm

  • An older man cooking sausages and peppers in the titanium pan

    Rated 4 out of 5

    “The handle stays cool on the stovetop, which I didn't expect. Light enough that I can toss peppers with one hand at 68.”

    Gary Whitfield · Size: 28 cm

  • Rated 5 out of 5

    “Yakisoba night is easy now. The noodles don't cling, the cabbage chars nicely, and it's light enough to toss.”

    Emi Hayashi · Size: 28 cm

  • A sliced medium-rare steak next to the titanium pan

    Rated 4 out of 5

    “熱をよく保つので、最初のステーキは焼きすぎてしまいました。二回目は一分早く火から下ろしたら、家で焼いた中で最高の焼き色になりました。”

    It holds so much heat that I overcooked my first steak. Second time I took it off a minute earlier: the best crust I've made at home.

    Tom Harrington · Size: 30 cm

  • Rated 5 out of 5

    “It's so pretty I just leave it on the stove. It's the first pan I reach for every day.”

Why KAJI?

No coating. Nothing to peel into your food.

KAJI titanium vs. the non-stick pan you probably cook with today.

Comparison of a KAJI titanium pan with an ordinary non-stick pan

KAJI: Titanium wherever it touches your food.Ordinary non-stick pans: A thin coating sprayed over aluminium.
Peeling
KAJI: Nothing can flake off. Not now, not ever.Ordinary non-stick pans: It flakes off — straight into your eggs.
Scratches
KAJI: A scratch is just a scratch. Still titanium.Ordinary non-stick pans: One scratch and you’re cooking on bare metal.
Touching your food
KAJI: Only titanium touches your food.Ordinary non-stick pans: A synthetic coating that wears thinner every time you cook.
Lifespan
KAJI: No coating to wear out. Made to stay in your kitchen.Ordinary non-stick pans: Starts sticking, then ends up in the bin.

No coating means a little technique: preheat, add fat, let food release. Cooking guide

Our story

Born at my grandfather's forge.

KAJI began with my grandfather, a Japanese blacksmith who spent his life shaping metal with fire and hammer.

Everything he knew went into one pan: bare titanium with nothing applied on top, and a hammered finish that belongs to the metal itself.

Today, every Kajipan is held to the standard he set through years of hard work at the anvil: honest material, and no shortcuts.

Heritage

A blacksmith's knowledge, handed down.

Hard work

A lifetime of long days at the forge.

Material

Bare titanium, with no added coating.

Patience

No shortcuts between fire and hammer.

Before you buy

A better-informed choice.

What matters before you invest in a pan.

Why titanium?
Light, strong and safe to cook on bare. It spreads heat more slowly than aluminium, so preheat gently.
Is it free of PFAS, PTFE and PFOA?
Yes. Nothing is sprayed or bonded on: you cook directly on the titanium, so there is no coating to flake into your food.
Will food stick?
A little, as on any uncoated pan. Preheat, add fat once warm, and let food release before turning.
Will it work on my stovetop?
Compatible with gas, electric coil, ceramic / glass and induction stovetops.
How big and how heavy is it?
22 cm (8.7 in): 5 cm (2 in) deep, 0.76 kg (1.7 lb) 26 cm (10.2 in): 5.5 cm (2.2 in) deep, 0.95 kg (2.1 lb) 28 cm (11 in): 5.5 cm (2.2 in) deep, 1.1 kg (2.4 lb) 30 cm (11.8 in): 6 cm (2.4 in) deep, 1.29 kg (2.8 lb)
When will it arrive?
Orders ship within 48 hours. Delivery takes 3–15 days in total, with tracking.
Can I return it?
You can return your order within 360 days of delivery. Cook with it for up to 360 days. If you don't love it, send it back for a full refund. Return shipping is free within 30 days of delivery; after that, it's on you.
What does the warranty cover?
The warranty runs for 50 years. Covered: Defects in materials and workmanship under normal household use. A defective pan is repaired or replaced free of charge. Not covered: Normal wear, heat tints and discoloration, cosmetic scratches, and damage from misuse, accidents or commercial use.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Another question? Contact us

If you like cooking directly on metal, enjoy a little technique and want a pan without a coating, yes. If you want food to slide around with no fat and no preheating, a coated non-stick pan will suit you better.

No, it's ready to cook straight out of the box. A thin film of oil heated once in the pan can help food release during the first uses.

Yes, it's dishwasher-safe. Washing by hand keeps the hammered finish at its best: let it cool, then warm water, a soft sponge, and dry fully.

Yes. Metal spatulas and whisks are fine: there is no coating to scratch off.

Yes, it's oven-safe up to 260 °C (500 °F).

Designed by KAJI and made in China by a specialist cookware manufacturer. It is lab-tested by Eurofins for food contact: no lead or cadmium was detected.

Email us within 7 days of delivery with your order number. Keep the packaging and send clear photos of both the pan and the packaging. We send a replacement or refund you in full, and give you a prepaid label for the damaged pan.

Email us with your order number. We reply with the return address, plus a free prepaid label within 30 days of delivery (after that, return shipping is on you). Once the pan arrives, we inspect it and refund you within 14 business days, to your original payment method.

High heat can leave golden or blue tints on titanium. It's harmless and doesn't affect cooking. A little white vinegar on a soft sponge usually brings back the original shine.
