Care instructions
  1. Let the pan cool before washing.
  2. Wash with warm water and a soft sponge. Avoid harsh abrasives on the hammered finish.
  3. Dry immediately and completely.
  4. Dishwasher-safe, though washing by hand keeps the hammered finish at its best.
  5. Golden or blue heat tints are harmless. A little white vinegar on a soft sponge removes them.

The problem

What's really in your pan?

Pick the pan you cook with now. See what can end up in your food.

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.

Releases
PFAS fumes & coating flakes
When
Above ~500°F (260°C) or once scratched
Risk
High
  • PTFE coating (PFAS family)
  • Breaks down at high heat
  • Flakes into your food
A stainless steel pan with heat tint and burnt-on stains
Reactive

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.

Releases
Nickel & chromium
When
Acidic food, long simmering
Risk
Medium
  • Leaches nickel & chromium
  • Food sticks & burns
  • Needs technique
A rusty cast iron skillet with patchy seasoning
Demanding

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.

Releases
Iron & rust
When
Acidic food, worn seasoning
Risk
Medium
  • Rusts without care
  • Reacts with acidic food
  • Very heavy to lift
A worn ceramic-coated pan with chipped, stained coating
Disposable

Ceramic Pan

A thin sol-gel coating is sprayed over an aluminium body. Heat and utensils wear it down within months. Chips end up in your food, and the aluminium underneath starts touching it directly.

Releases
Coating chips & aluminium
When
After a few months of use
Risk
Medium
  • Coating chips into food
  • Loses non-stick fast
  • Aluminium under coating
A hybrid pan with a steel hexagon pattern over dark coating, worn in the centre
Deceptive

Hybrid Pan

A steel pattern laid over a non-stick coating. It looks like steel, but you still cook on PTFE. At high heat the coating between the ridges breaks down, just like a regular non-stick pan.

Releases
PFAS fumes & coating flakes
When
High heat, as the coating wears
Risk
High
  • Still a chemical coating
  • Coating wears off
  • Premium price for a coating

The Kajipan

A titanium cooking surface, the same metal used in medical implants because the body does not react to it. No coating to break down, at any temperature, with any utensil.

    The pan I hand my cooks

    Even heat across the whole surface, and it holds temperature when the fish goes in. Preheat, a little oil, and the skin lets go on its own.

    Eggs slid right out

    Just received my 28 cm pan. Two over-easy eggs slid straight out on the first try. Cleanup took a minute.

    Light, but built to last

    Lighter than my stainless pans and beautiful on the stove. The 50-year warranty is what sold me.

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.”

Questions

Before you order.

Is it free of PFAS, PTFE and PFOA?

Yes. There is no coating on the cooking surface, so there is no PFAS, PTFE (Teflon) or PFOA, and nothing to flake into your food.

How do I clean it? Is it dishwasher-safe?

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.

Which stovetops are compatible?

Compatible with gas, electric coil, ceramic / glass and induction stovetops.

What are the dimensions and weight?

Four sizes: 22 cm (8.5 in), 26 cm (10 in), 28 cm (11 in) and 30 cm (12 in) across the top, each with its glass lid. Titanium is about 45% lighter than steel, so even the largest pan stays easy to lift and toss.

What is your return policy?

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.
