What Makes PureForge Outlast The Ceramic Cycle Without The DTC Sticker Tax
Solid Titanium Cooking Layer
Titanium is non-reactive and non-porous so it cannot leach metals into food. The same metal used for dental implants now sits under your eggs.
Tri-Ply Heat-Spread Body
Stainless exterior, aluminum core, and titanium interior hold even heat across the surface, eliminating the hot rings that scorch ceramic.
1000F Oven-Safe Build
Sear on the cooktop and finish in the oven at any setting up to 1000F without coating breakdown. Ceramic units cap out near 450F before fume risk.
Metal Utensil And Dishwasher Safe
Pure titanium does not flake under metal whisks or scrub pads. Toss it in the dishwasher and pull it out the next morning unchanged.

Frequently Asked Questions
How difficult is the initial setup before the first cook?
How difficult is the initial setup before the first cook?
Wash with warm soapy water, dry fully, and preheat on medium for 60-90 seconds with a teaspoon of oil. From box to first egg takes about 4 minutes. There is no oven-cure required and no break-in period before metal utensils are safe.
Is it really PFAS-free at every layer of the pan?
Is it really PFAS-free at every layer of the pan?
Yes. The cooking surface is solid titanium with no PTFE, PFOA, or PFAS at any layer. Many pans labeled PFOA-free still use related fluorinated chemicals in the coating. PureForge skips coating chemistry entirely because the surface is metal.
Will food stick the way reviewers complain about boutique titanium pans?
Will food stick the way reviewers complain about boutique titanium pans?
Pure titanium is not magic nonstick like fresh Teflon. Preheat 60-90 seconds on medium, add a teaspoon of oil, and eggs release cleanly. Skip the preheat and food sticks like on stainless. Build the habit and the pan rewards you for years.
Does it work on induction cooktops as well as gas and electric?
Does it work on induction cooktops as well as gas and electric?
Yes. The tri-ply base is magnetic-induction compatible and runs equally well on gas burners, electric coils, and glass-top ranges. The flat base sits steady on induction rings without rocking, and you skip the adapter plate.
How heavy is it compared to cast iron and the boutique titanium pans?
How heavy is it compared to cast iron and the boutique titanium pans?
PureForge weighs about 2 lbs in the 10-inch size, roughly half a 5-lb Lodge cast iron and lighter than the 3.4-lb DTC pan reviewers call awkward to flip one-handed. You can flip a pancake or toss a stir-fry without a wrist workout.
Can I really put it in the dishwasher and use metal utensils?
Can I really put it in the dishwasher and use metal utensils?
Yes. Solid titanium does not chip, peel, or strip the way ceramic and Teflon do under the dishwasher cycle. Metal whisks, tongs, and spatulas leave no food-safety scratches because there is no coating to breach in the first place.
Will the handle stay cool enough to grip on long stovetop cooks?
Will the handle stay cool enough to grip on long stovetop cooks?
The riveted stainless handle has a cool-touch geometry usable on stovetop cooks under 10 minutes. For oven finishes above 400F or long high-heat sears, use a silicone cover or folded towel. We flag this up front because DTC owners hit it too.
How does it handle the things that wrecked my last three ceramic pans?
How does it handle the things that wrecked my last three ceramic pans?
The two ceramic killers are metal-utensil scratches and high-heat fume thresholds. PureForge ignores both because there is no coating to scratch and solid titanium stays inert above 1000F. The pan that handled month-1 eggs will handle year-5 eggs.
